Which is better for families moving to Thailand: Hua Hin or Chiang Mai?

Tommy ********

You have to look at whether either are them places are suitable for a large family.

Hua Hin is a retirement town and Chiang Mai is more rural and quiet.

Do they have substantial international schools compared to where you are from? What’s the reason for moving? Will you make more money or is it a move for other reasons?
