A common debate between Thailand sexpats<\/del><\/a> \u30a8\u30af\u30b9\u30d1\u30c3\u30c4<\/a> is which is the best city to live in: \u30d0\u30f3\u30b3\u30af<\/a>, Chiang Mai, Phuket or Pattaya?<\/p>\n

\u3067\u30e4\u30ea\u305f\u3044\u3002 \u30bf\u30a4 \u7121\u6599<\/strong>\u305d\u3057\u3066 \u3053\u306e\u8a18\u4e8b\u3092\u8aad\u3080<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today I will give you my ‘unbiased’ opinion. Keep in mind I have spent the majority of my time in Bangkok, but have spent adequate time in both Chiang Mai, Phuket and Pattaya to have a understanding of how they are.<\/p>\n

This article is only my opinion<\/strong> so it would be cool to here your thoughts too. If you got 10 different people to write this article you would get 10 different points of view.<\/p>\n

\"\u30bf\u30a4\u306e\u5973\u306e\u5b50\u3068\u51fa\u4f1a\u3046\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Please don\u2019t get butt hurt if I say Phuket, Chiang Mai or Pattaya sucks at any point in time – because I do – a lot.<\/p>\n

If you’re thinking about moving to Thailand and need help, check out my Thai friend’s website here<\/a>\u5f7c\u5973\u306a\u3089\u52a9\u3051\u3066\u304f\u308c\u308b\u304b\u3082\u3057\u308c\u306a\u3044\u3002<\/p>\n

Transport and logistics <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u30d0\u30f3\u30b3\u30af<\/strong> \u2013 No where in Thailand can you find better transport than Bangkok. Bangkok taxis<\/a> are super cheap have a meter (most other cities don’t), they have the BTS<\/a> \u305d\u3057\u3066 MRT<\/a>, hundreds of buses, a train station, motorcycle taxis, boats, and songthaews<\/a> that go into the smaller streets.<\/p>\n

Bangkok airport has flights to every major city in Thailand.<\/p>\n

\"\u30d0\u30f3\u30b3\u30af\u30fb\u30d8\u30eb\u30d1\u30fc\"<\/a>\u30d7\u30fc\u30b1\u30c3\u30c8<\/strong> \u2013 Where to start? Phuket taxis are rip-off central, prices are really expensive for short journeys, almost 100x more than Bangkok or Chiang Mai or Pattaya. It is believed to be run by the mafia and there is no metro or bus services throughout the town.<\/p>\n

Unless you have a scooter getting around Phuket is difficult and expensive. Scooters are death traps<\/a> in Asia too, no thanks Jeff.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
