4 of the Top Places to Stay in Thailand for Expats
When you are an expatriate in Thailand, you cannot just choose any place
randomly like a traveler can, because you will need to think about long-term
expenses, safety and the quality of the living standards as well. To help
new expats figure out which are the best places in Thailand to find accommodation
in, here are the top four picks that won’t let you down.

Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai beats Bangkok as far as long-term staying
is concerned because of two main reasons:
1.
The
climate is much cooler
2.
The
lifestyle is much calmer
A place of cultural and religious importance in
Thailand, Chiang Mai isn’t lacking in modern conveniences either. There are
malls, movie halls, high-class restaurants and even quality hospitals in Chiang
Mai, but all of this is available here at a lower rate than in any of the major
cities of Thailand like Bangkok or Phuket.Also, it is one of the safest places
in Thailand for women to live in.
Koh Samui
If you would like to stay on a paradise island that
boasts of palm trees, gorgeous beaches, moderately warm weather and is surrounded
by a deep blue ocean, there is no better place to live in Thailand than on Koh
Samui. Thanks to Lub d, expats and travelers can now get accommodations Koh Samui right on the stunning Chaweng Beach itself, without
having to break the bank, or worry about safety. Whether you are planning to
visit the island on a weekend with the family, or just thinking about settling
on the island altogether, Koh Samui won’t let you down either way. As far as
safety is concerned, there are a few things to be wary of in the shadier parts
of the island like drugs, but singular attacks on women are almost non-existent
in Koh Samui, as per records.
Bangkok
This one is as obvious as things can be, and some may argue
that Bangkok isn’t one of the better places to live in Thailand, but that depends.
First and foremost, a lot of expats who come here to work do not even have an
option. Secondly, if you are a young couple, or just a bachelorette living the
Thai expat life, Bangkok could be one of the best places in the world for you!
Of course, it isn’t as beautiful as Koh Samui, but if you don’t mind the
vibrant and colorful lifestyle of the city, and can get over the awful traffic,
Bangkok is an awesome place to find a house in. Just remember that it isn’t the
safest place for women in Thailand, so try to know and practice some of the common
precautions.
Phuket
They don’t call Phuket “The Pearl of the Andaman Sea”
for nothing, and once you get on the main island, it is likely that you will
tend to agree. It’s a gorgeous place that doesn’t totally sacrifice on
Thailand’s natural beauty in favor of modernization. Nonetheless, Phuket is
known for its wild nightlife, clubs and cabarets, so it will never get boring
here. For those that prefer a peaceful life away from all the noise, you are
going to find Koh Samui or Chiang Mai a better fit.
These are the top four places that anyone with
experience would recommend to an expat, but a lot also depends on how much you
have to travel for work every day, if at all. The experiences are vastly
different of course, but as long as you stay in any one of these four locations
and practice a bit of caution, chances are that you will not be disappointed.
