Pattaya is a huge girlie bar, very tacky filled with dirty old men, been once never go back. Hua Hin is a very relaxed town in the Gulf about 3 hours from Bangkok , the others are too touristy for us .

I’m in Hua Hin , yesterday we applied for a 30 day extension on our visa , a couple of hours and baht 1900 each. That gives you 60 days , not sure if you can do it again or it’s a visa run.

England is not horrid it’s got a lot of pluses as has Thailand . A lot of people leave England for warmer climates but return as they can’t stand the heat. Over the years we’ve been following the lovely houses built around Hua Hin by an English builder, 3 bedrooms, bathrooms, pool etc , but they have not gone up in value for years where the rest of the property around the world has skyrocketed. Rent out their house, rent a house in Thailand and probably have a monthly income from the rent in England after paying for the rent in Thailand , then after a few years make a decision as to buy or continue to rent. In the meantime the property value of their UK could have gone up.

Rent out your house in the UK then you would have more than enough to rent a house, 3 bedrooms, swimming pool etc. You will achieve more capital gains on your English property and don’t have to worry about exchange rates, only owing 49% of the property with your Thai lawyer owning the other 51% , it’s all to hard. You can buy a condo outright without any land ownership problems. We have looked into this extensively and came to this as the best option and if you get to Thailand and don’t like it you can pick up stumps and return to England or move on somewhere else.
