Where is the best place to live in Thailand? - Page 2 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Oh my word! David, I have to wonder if it's the same village near Buri Ram that my mother is from? What a small world. I don't know the name of her village. I'll soon find out when we get there! I'll be sure to avoid any BBQ rat!!!! I'm not that fond of protein! LOL Excuse me while I shake off the thought of new cuisine!!!!

Before I forget. When you are there, do you sleep under a mosquito net? My mom says that I don't need one since the windows have screens at the place we are staying and it's winter. But, I've read differently. What say you?

Wendy

The village is nearer to the city of Sateuk in the north of Buri Ram Province. Yes, in our home my wife and I sleep under a mosquito net, as does mother and father-in-law. When we have stayed in one of our sisters-in-law's home in a town in the south of Buri Ram Province (near the Cambodian border) we also slept under a mosquito net too. My doctor in the UK tells me that I should take medication against malaria when in that region but I have tried it and have a bad effect from it so don't do so.

I appreciate not everyone will like BBQ rat, but I love a bowl of rice with two fried eggs and a BBQ rat for breakfast. Here is a post showing one being prepared, that is my sister-in-law not my wife.

This question is like asking "Which is best, Coke or Pepsi?"

David

PS. The answer is Coke.

Just to whet your appetite further

They are speaking another language... at least another dialect of one.

**rusculture** · 09-22-2012, 01:00 AM

This might not be the best time to tell them about the insects, then David.

**Mjyzpzph** · 09-22-2012, 01:02 AM

The tea and toast I am about to make is going to taste quite bland in comparison now.

Considering many aspects in education, culture, safety, friendliness, diversity, living expence, and food, where do you think (or would like to suggest) is the best place to live in Thailand? Best is an interesting word... best in education? best in culture? best in safety? best in etc. ??????

If it's a prideful discussion to be had, I'll put my vote in for Trang.
Although, for diversity, I think it would be Songkhla (Thai Buddhist, Thai Muslim, Chinese all rolled into one).
I'm also a huge huge fan of Bangkok and all of her charming neighborhoods. Large cities have the ability to have all of the aspects you mentioned due to their sheer sizes.... and yes, I'd call Bangkok friendly.

Or the fried baby froglets or fried baby rats... Ooops!

All depends on what you will need to survive and what you like to do, how close to what would be considered good medical facilitys, How well do you like typhoons as a possibility, Will you be happy with Thai food or farang food, high or low elevations, how do you like bombs, dead people or thieves, We have it all here and just depends on what you like.
I live away from what some need, but I am happy, so just depends.
Up To You.
come, go to a few places and see for yourself, Up To You.

**HartOvara** · 09-22-2012, 04:34 AM

Why not sort out a number of areas you are interested in ,there is plenty of information on the forums and then spend a month or two in each to give you a feel of living there and then chose one to settle in

**pharweqto** · 09-22-2012, 05:23 AM

Ewwww! David, I might end up losing weight while there! LOL

Wendy

**Mjyzpzph** · 09-22-2012, 05:41 AM

Well, when you guys think of living in Thailand, even if you are Thai, wouldn't you care about how the life in certain town will be like? For example, between Coke and Pepsi; Coke's containers are cuter..

Speaking personally, no. For me the only place in Thailand to consider is Buri Ram, or more specifically the village [that I won't name on a public forum] that my family lives in.

It's the same in Wales, I have lived in this same home since I was born over 40 years ago, as has my father since he was born nearly 70 years ago.

Royal Crown Cola is better than Pepsi or Coke!

**rusculture** · 09-22-2012, 08:06 AM

( and, no, we are not kidding!)

**CoallyPax** · 09-22-2012, 08:14 AM

O.K at least how about give me the top 10, please ... besides BKK and Chaing Mai
