brewsterbudgen Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Having lived and worked in Bangkok for 16 years, it's now time to move and Ban Chang / Rayong seems ideal, for family reasons, and also because both Garden International and Rayong English Programme schools look good for my 6-year-old son. I will be looking to rent a 3-bedroom house as close as possible to the two schools. It looks like there are a few Moo Baans within fairly close proximity to the schools, namely Sisuk Village, Eastern Star Village and Sin Thawi Park Village. Do any members have any recommendations? Would it be possible to find a 3-bedroom house for around 20,000 a month? If not, how do the villages on the other side of Sukhumvit Road compare? Many thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Close to where the schools are is a relatively new village called the Palms, many 3 bedroom in there for less than 20,000, Eastern star is mega expensive, Sin Thavee good enough village but old. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. I will check out The Palms. Does anyone recommend using a local agent, or is it better to just use online sites like DD Property? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teevee Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 We moved from BKK 2-1/2 years ago and now live on Eastern Sta in Vintage 1 Village. The rental rates here are around 35,000 for a three bedroom house. The village is very well maintained and very quiet. Currently there are two houses with rental signs (including telephone numbers) in the village and I assume its the owners as no agent mentioned - rents may be more negotiable right now. so its probably worth a drive down here and call the owners - thats exactly how we got this house although we ended up buying instead of renting. My 14 year old son goes to Garden and loves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVENKEEL Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 The drop off and pick-up traffic is off the charts bad for both schools. Living within motorbike range transport will make your life much easier for taking kid to school. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, Garden is somewhat out of my price range, unless they can offer a generous discount! So, it will probably be REPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisandsu Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Yeah I’d recommend palms and as other posters mentioned it’s very negotiable at the moment . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask people who are outside in the street if they know of a house for rent. Look and ask . That is how i find the best deals ...whether to rent or to buy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks ideal. Unfortunately we won't be able to get down there to look at places until the end of July, and we're not looking to move until around April 2022.

brewsterbudgen Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 Update: we have found a nice house in Miracle Grand Ville. Seems like a short journey to the schools and near enough to Lotus's and other amenities. Does anyone have any knowledge about the Village?

Yeah, the Expat Mart played a key part in my decision making! I will be a regular customer. My wife preferred the Thai BBQ restaurant/bar/market just a bit further up the road, so we're both happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
