PattayaParent Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Is it distance or (I think more likely) time of travel that you're intereted in? You could live around Mabprachan Lake East of Pattaya and still get to Rayong in rush hour in less time than living in Ban Chang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabang Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 If you are on a decent expat contract, you can get fine western standard accomodation around Mabprachan Lake- easy access to route 36, which takes you down to Rayong or links with the Bkk Tollway. And you're surrounded by plenty of expat bars and restaurants, and within easy reach of Pattaya. Nearby International Schools too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdinasia Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I am partial to Si Racha and Bang Saen, but for me there are 2 big questions 1) The house --- is it really what I want and in a safe place and 2) is there enough nearby to keep me interested during those long weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD - Sri Racha especially is nice but there and BAng Saen are really too far away to be driving every day to Rayong, and especially back when there's more traffic on the roads.
