I dont mind a bit of rivalry,the plan is to live in Buriram for 3 months a year 6 months away working and 3 months in pattaya and phuket


Im looking for a low cost rent place which the wifes family can live in when im not here.

Any ideas on prices

Not looking to buy ever.

[CoffeeCorner]

If you are looking for Buriram itself I will leave to to the locals to come up with current prices.

Depends what you want - around Prakhonchai you will pay 3k to 6k p.m. for something 'reasonable'.

Hi everyone,

Wil introduce myself.

I am Michel , 29 years old from holland. I first came to Thailand (and Nang Rong) in early 2005 on holiday ,on which i met my wife.

have been staying full-time in thailand, (pattaya and phibun mangsahan (ubon) ) for 2 years but had to go back home due to the economic crisis of 2008/09.

Im working all around Europe for a security company on a rotational base , i am working 5-6 weeks and then spend 3 weeks in Thailand. working 5-6 weeks , 3 weeks Thailand.

My free time in Thailand i spend in our house that we build in our village Ban Nong Kok ,    7 km out of Nang Rong on the 348.

Nice to meet you all , have a nice day.

Looks like Im late to the party     But then I just got back from Buriram.

  Im Daniel ..American ...well now Alaskan for 20 yrs.(that is an important distinction...not to live in the Lower 48). I have been a jeweler for about 25yrs and own a small shop here in AK. Also teach Self-Defense.    Been coming to Thailand for a few years and finally met the wife. We have a small house just outside Buriram City in Chum Het...Nong Phai Noi to be specific and I love every minute I spend in the village.
   Currently we are making a K1 for her to come live with me in Alaska for a bit then rebuild the house and retire in Nong Phai Noi.  Cant wait for the day I can retired and we live in paradise.

Better buy her electric socks. 

I am constantly amazed here where I am in a T-Shirt sweating like a horse, and some Thai walks by with a winter jacket.  It can be 100 degree (F) out, and you will see Thai's in long sleeves and/or jackets. 

While I have not been to Alaska (yet), I assume it is cooler than Michigan.  I hope you are preparing your wife for that. 

Also, my Thai is used to villiage scene, hope there is something like that, what was that series?  Northern Exposure?   

Anyway, good luck, hope everything works out for you.

Yeh its pretty funny when you see us farangs "bah mak mak" soaking up the sun with the thais hiding from it like vampires.  So she tells me "Darling... I want to live in a place that is small, not many people and not hot".....Honey .. I got just the spot for you!!  Plus she likes Salmon!!
   I live on Kodiak Island so it doesnt get as cold here (most days) as say Anchorage or Fairbanks. Have had a couple of friends that brought Thai wives over and things worked out pretty well.
