Why Rayong? Seems a bit extreme to go from Europe to the Thai countryside...

Hi
We're south-east, not too far from you, in Chanthaburi province. Have no interest in big city life, not what i moved to Thailand for, and am content in a town of around 5,000. 12km and we're in Chan city, for us it's best of both worlds as we prefer rural/coast life but close enough for cinemas, etc.
Understand there are many °µÍø½ûÇøs working in Rayong, but not an '°µÍø½ûÇø community'. We've only been to Rayong once, some good beaches in the Ban Phe area, and quite a few retired °µÍø½ûÇøs living there too.
There are very few °µÍø½ûÇøs in Chanthaburi province. Over half of them are Scandinavian or German, and many of those have been here 20yrs+ and well-settled into local life, maybe not '°µÍø½ûÇøs' any more?
According to Thai immigration stats there about 80 'permanents' who do 90-day reporting in a population of 510,000, plus there are regular school teachers here on six-month contracts, there are two in our town now from US/UK, which double the native-English-speaking population here.
If you have transport, and time, and like quite beach life, suggest you head down the coast one weekend - easy to do on a motorscooter. Or if you're very active, there are regular cycle club rides!
Best regards.
