    Re: Expat living inland

    No it is not. And most certainly it is not at all near or in Phuket.
    To make it clear: I myself am not expat, just come here in TH every yr when its winter @home (EUR) and also ´winter=cool season, not too hot, here in TH.
    Out of interest and also as a kind of relic of former work I follow also other forums set up by such groups. Mostly of course those in own language.
    1.it should be obviously clear that most are centered in their own country/language, and USA are by far not the most populous such groups. It would also help if you could state yours.
    2.it should even be more blindingly clear that str8 relations far outnumber gay ones. The archetypical elder, fat, in pension farang maintaining a Thai wife, perhaps a former bargirl, perhaps a kind of also economic relation: a moreor less helpless men in things for doing the house and a Thai wife who is used to being caring, and cleaning/cooking/washing/etc. As such not really much different from how in former times marriages in the west also held form.
    3.due to where most of these ladies come from and if the couple decides to stay in TH and not homeland of man, its Isan, Isan and Isan as #1,2,3 and then some other areas, North, BKK-city and far fewer in the south. And spread out all over in even the tiniest of small villages (like baan nok khee ma= village birdshit, as these are commonly known). The wife or her family owns the land-title, the man brings in the money (a few 10.000€ or $ or GBP is enough) to build a decent house on it.
    In fact as I remember TH is among the 3 countries which has in % most of these spread-out mixed couples in the whole world.
    Now IF they also cluster together or have other binds will differ enormously. There are no fixed and stated rules for that either. Nor even really any clusters of like : the Swedes live there, The Germans here, etc.
    THat is how far my knowledge runs.

    Same same.

    During my holiday years I always preferred hanging my hat in Jomtien as well - even though I spent every night on the bar scene in PTY. Short rides don't ruffle my feathers, in exchange for some peace and quiet when the party's over.

    Bang Saray used to be a pleasant 25 minute motorbike amble away ending with a right turn shortly after Nong Nooch.

    However it's now a building site all the way from Jomtien due to the fuck off huge overpass motorway being built. The traffic gets snarled up and you need to go further on and do a U-turn.

    However, Bang Saray itself remains glorious and Ruantay restaurant us perhaps my favourite restaurant in the whole world.

    So it's worth it.

    Re: Expat living inland

    made the mistake of staying once in boyztown at the ambiance...impossible to sleep before 2am...and during the day the surroundings are little more than a slum...lots of the gogos seemed to live close by so it wasnt unusual to see a few dazed looking ones up and about by 10am...offed a few too...even though im not a morning person...but when a butt that cost 2000 the night before is now on sale for 800 i cant turn down a deal...

    Re: Expat living inland

    I stayed at the Ambiance last year and my experience with late night noise was different - there wasn’t any !
    For many years it was my hotel of choice as a gay sex tourist, until the dreadful noise from an early morning karioki developed about 5 years ago when I switched my stays to the Jomtien Complex.
    After Covid gave the place another chance and had good nights of sex with a selection of boys uninterrupted by noise at all.

    The entry on google maps is misplaced, try Phra Tamnak instead.
