I find all of the below better in Pattaya than HH
more to do, better beaches, better food, cheaper, closer to Bangkok
(I dont compare the bars cause i dont go to them but even than pattaya wins hands down)
HH is just overpriced for what u get and the traffic on the main road is really bad

i dont go to the beach in HH i go down the road to Khao Takiab tbh
theres things i like about Thailand as a whole but i think id struggle staying there for long periods of time anymore, i still love going there for holidays, got 2 weeks booked before i come back to Cambodia, a week in Hua Hin and a week in Pattaya before flying to PP for a few nights then back to SHV

Ok assume what you will james, but it wasnt a personal insult (why are shv residents and part-time residents so touchy?).Jamie_Lambo wrote:theres no point in even discussing it seeing as you know so much about me i'll let you assume thoughRed Ops wrote:Don't tell me you 'could afford to live anywhere, but chose kampong som because its such a great place'.

Did you cease to live in hua hin or wherever because
A. The residency visa was too much.
B. Visa runs are a pain in the arse.
C. The allure of kampong som and its delighful residence were too hard to resist?

Still, it was was VERY FUKN BUSY for the holiday and still is now. High season has hit a lot earlier this year then for the past couple of years. Now
I'm looking forward to my day off tomorrow ( actually, technically - TODAY!)
Maybe next time show a bit of fukn respect when you ask a question CPT.
I have no idea who any of you are in real life, so why would I ask you about something I hadn't heard about? So posting a thread with some flamebait after a local told me there was stuff on was a way to snag some interest and generate some humo(u)r for myself as everyone had a massive sperg rage.

Re: Boat festival in "Shitsville"
I don't know about Jamie but I chose to live in Cambodia rather than to live in Thailand and have only recently moved to Thailand because of the incredible pain in the arse that is the Cambodian banking system (and Thailand beats Cambodia hands down there). I can afford to live pretty much anywhere on earth but there's something seductive about South East Asia and what would once have been called "The Orient" in general. Singapore's too sterile for me and Hong Kong just too crowded - which leaves everywhere else to enjoy. I've lived in China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand and come very close to living in Malaysia (though in fits and starts over the years). In many respects, I'm finding Thailand to be much cheaper than Cambodia (with the exception of booze and smokes) and while visas are a minor hassle - it's not the end of the world but... I'd still rather be in Cambodia if they could just make the banking system more useful for my needs.Red Ops wrote:Ok assume what you will james, but it wasnt a personal insult (why are shv residents and part-time residents so touchy?).Jamie_Lambo wrote:theres no point in even discussing it seeing as you know so much about me i'll let you assume thoughRed Ops wrote:Don't tell me you 'could afford to live anywhere, but chose kampong som because its such a great place'.

2. the answer is C, simply, i used to live in SR with my Khmer ex, went to Thailand not long after we split, went to visit my Dads Cousin in HH, liked the place, ended up renting a 2 storey house out for a while also had a gf there for a few months, but i decided i wanted to move back to Cambodia (SHV as id visited before and liked it) and thats where ive spent most of the past few years, i much prefer the culture and people in Cambodia and its a good community in SHV
