Which coast of Thailand is better for retirement: East or West?

@Bian ***

Why are you even commenting if you can't, or won't tell her a decent place to live? Seems detrimental to me.

I don‘t care how it seems to you. My Advice was, look for a non touristy area, i think to find that everyone can do by themselves, wtf.

You are a waste of bits.

Yeah pattaya is cheaper as well.

I’m in the west part of Rayong, prices are speculative based on airport extension and rail being developed. It’s close to Bangkok prices.

@Nick ******

Nothing wrong with Cheap Charlies. I live in Jomtien Pattaya because it's (in my opinion) better than Phuket. So going by that, I must be p*ss poor living on mud and bin-dipping for scraps🤣🤣🤣, but happier because the people are a lot happier and more friendly in Jomtien. Patong Beach on the other hand, is just a smaller, not so entertaining version of Pattaya.

@Nigel ************

Jomtien better than Phuket? Ha ha ok bud yes your opinion but fuck me, do you actually swim in that water there??? There’s more bars in the general Pattaya area but the quality is here in every sense. I go to Pattaya about 4 times a year as have mates over that way. I do enjoy my time there but was shocked at how quiet it’s progressively getting. Indians have totally taken over and the place is filthy as fuck. Yeah for a beer and cheap full English (why leave UK) it’s great but generally, Phuket is paradise compared. All the best. 👍

@Nick ******

it's just hard to justify the cost. 🙂. When you get accustomed to a certain price bracket. Yeah I was in shock with the prices in Phuket, and therefore I made my mind up I don't like Phuket. 🤣🤣.

@Steve **************

your interests run the sane as mine

No one was, but you see how if someone made a post asking about the nicest mountain to retire on and I said Patong Beach it would be a bit ridiculous.

@Neepa *********

currently not but we do get rains in rain season. The flip side is the air quality is far better than central or northern Thailand and the beaches are beautiful

@Martin ********

Can't you read a map?

No need to be pannickity. She doesn't know the area so give her a little curtesy. Thanks.

@Martin ********

the question seemed very clear to me. I think you thought you had a 'gotcha' moment.

@David *****

In his mind, he thought confusion would make him seem more clever than the rest of us. But it only makes HIM look dumb-ass
