Hi every body,

I have an opportunity to work in Chon Bury. It looks like is a small city so is it possible to commute every working day Bangkok/Chon Bury or Pattaya/Chonbury?
In that case where would you advise to live in: Banckok or Pataya? ( we will have no kids going to school)?

Thanks for uour advise
Cheers
Ludo

I believe Chonburi has a population of over 1.5 million people so I would not call it small unless your comparing it to Bangkok.

If you choose to drive each day your looking at one hour plus one way from either city depending on living location. I currently live in Pattaya but lived in Bangkok for 8 years and although I miss certain aspects of Bangkok I would not move back.

When looking at Pattaya for a place to move I narrowed my search to Naklua and Pratumnak area's and finally settled on Naklua after finding a condo I liked. I think both area's are the best choices if considering Pattaya to live.
