First time viewer here. Thanks for the walk about and chat. I know Pattaya very well, and I have been to Hua Hin. I like Hua Hin to retire to. But I could see myself taking a 3 or 4 day a month trip to Patt's. That's the plan anyway.
Thank you for watching. This is exactly what we found ourselves doing. We would end up visiting Nutcha’s family in Pattaya at least once a month. We found Jomtien to be the right place for us. It’s nestled between the pace of Pattaya and Hua Hin. Hua Hin is a nice place to retire. Lots of Caucasian garbage there over 55.
Appreciate your comment. We will return to Hua Hin for a stop over in the near future. Do a road trip on route to Phuket and/or Krabi. Soldier on Sir. 😊
I was there last week for 7 days golfing... and it is a great area for it.. as for the city, it was nice.. quiet, laid back, a total contrast to Bangkok. I get such a calm, serene place might not be for everyone but for our purposes it was terrific... Great people, great food, affordable, places to party if you wanted, western malls if you fancied that, good hotels, restaurants of every kind... not sure your truth is "shocking".. if everyone wanted to live in the same place it would be a pretty crowded place!
@@overpar9878 good summary of Hua Hin. Not much of a golf player to be honest. But all the points you’ve made I definitely agree with. It’s just that over time it eventually got a little mundane for us. We lived there for 8 months and got a good flavour of the place and its vibe. It is laid back and a great place for a quick 7-day get away. I appreciate your input.
Thinking of retiring in Hua Hin or Pattaya, avid golfer. Which one is cheaper to play golf 3 times a week? Can't seem to find any golf course with memberships.
@ not much of a golfer however if golfing is your thing then Hua Hin might be a better choice for you. When I lived there I saw a lot of golfing advertisements and properties for sale in and around the golf course. I don’t see any adverts or hear much about golfing here in Pattaya/Jomtien.
@@jimsilverdale205 Hi, I didnt really look into memberships at Hua Hin as I was just visiting but I know they have traditional membership deals as I played with some members. Regarding cost I bet they are cheap compared to the UK. For example, we played Black Mountain, recognised as the 63rd best course in the world (or something like that) and it cost £110 inc buggy and caddy. In the UK, as you are probably aware, the cost would be £300 plus..
Dude, you walked past a bloody great sign saying 'Jomtien Beach Pattaya' at the beginning of the video and then you're repeatedly asking people to guess where you are! 😄
@@ThailandWalkabout Haha no worries mate, we all make mistakes. Hope you are having a good time there at Jomtien. I used to stay at Pratumnak as it's a good spot between Pattaya and Jomtien.Pattaya i too busy for me. I've taken your place at Hua Hin, staying here until Jan 9th.
I have lived in Hua Hin for 1 year now. I agree with u also having watched ur video on Hua hin vs Pattaya. I am gonna go to jomtien to live next month. I fancy a change
@@thomasfriis8106 living there for 1 year you’d have a good understanding of what I’m talking about. We’ve been in Jomtien for 6 weeks now and were happy with our decision. It has more atmosphere and vibe about it.
That was some absolutely shocking truth you dished out there mate. I'm genuinely shocked. As a warning to all viewers, you should only watch this video if you have the ability to be truly, overwhelmingly, shocked. Shocking stuff. Feck me I am shocked. So much so I could use a stiff drink and a lie down.
I love HH. It's not for everyone. Yes, it is for retirees. I don't live there permanently, but I spend at least 4 months there a year. I usually stay in a gated community and sometimes in an air bnb condo.I enjoy BKK but I do love the pace of HH.
@@marcp108 4 months in the year is probably the perfect amount of time you need there to really appreciate all that HH has to offer. Sounds like you got a good routine.
Good stuff. Make sure to check out Baan Khun Por Market on Soi 88. Great food there and good prices. They have live entertainment everyday from 7ish onwards. Tamarind and Ciacada Markets is more for tourists little pricey. Also Soi 51 has a great Korean restaurant. In fact all of Soi 51 is great. If there is anything that interests you let me know if I can point you in the right direction.
@@ThailandWalkabout I want to find a condo near the night market, hospital and library. My hotel of choice was there. I love the tone of the city, the quiet beach, and the fact it isn't bar centric
@@bijanbayne3259 Try DusitD2 next to BluPort. I have an agent number if you want to shot me an email. She might still have our condo up for lease.You have San Paulo Hospital and Bangkok Hospital literally minutes away.
Don't meet women from Pattaya unless you want to end up living there. As you noted it's hot all year and there's no cool season like Chiang Mai. That's a disadvantage, not an advantage. As far as sophistication, I found that people who want that--what are you doing in Thailand? NYC is much more sophisticated. I've lived in both. I don't need that, that's why I am in Thailand.
Pattaya women are the best. Thailand heat is beneficial for my health. I prefer hot to cold. If I wanted cold I'd stay in Sydney and get my four seasons. Don't know much about the democratically run NYC. I know that DJT won.
Thought about retiring in Hua Hin, lived there 3 months to try it out and did not like it. Too boring, and too hot. Maybe good for old people or those who like golfing.
Yeah, we also found it slow and hot at times. We were disappointed with the night life as well. It just lacked atmosphere. Food was good thought. Especially in Soi 51.
The fantastic thing for us living in Hua Hin are all the riff raff are staying in Phuket og Pattaya, let keep it that way 👍 hehe, there are absolutely non Russian or rather Ukrainian in Hua Hin like i said they are all in Phuket or Pattaya
@@stefankropff we used to live in DusitD2 next to Bluport. We noticed in the last 6 months an increase in Russian families moving into the relatively small 35m2 condos using downstairs swimming pool/workspace area for their business. They seem to keep to themselves. Not much assimilating.
Went to hua hin 2 years ago and we liked it, so we decided to go back this year and somehow it's not as nice. It's becoming too much like senile delinquents central. I ain't no spring chicken but after 6 weeks i'm getting bored of the hippy dippy shops selling frilly tents to ladies of a certain age for one and then there is the 'slow pace' which is getting too much for me as 90% of the people walking about are doing it at the pace of snails. I want to scamper around freely without having to treat people as roundabouts all the time. The other thing that's depressing is the amount of injured tourists who should never be allowed to get on a scooter when they've got no idea how to ride them and think an untied tinpot helmet, lipflops, shorts and a teeshirt are protective gear . Heck the only scooters they should be allowed near are mobility scooters. I've got a suspicion there's a mutually beneficial conspiracy going on between the scooters hiring shops and the Bangkok hospital down the street along the lines of 'we rent our bikes to hapless morons and you'll give us a cut of the medical fees'.
