I am very happy with the decision I made to buy the condo in Jomtien - took a walk out there today and found whole new pluses to the immediate area. A great fresh food and meat market hidden across the street - no foreigners, just Thais, which means the prices will be about a third of those in the grocery stores which target the Farang. New shophouse development going up right next to entry way to the complex - bound to be a laundry, a massage, a bar and a restaurant (and probably a 7-11 despite there being one 100m up the street). The distance from the beach is just right - enough to keep the area peaceful yet only 10 minutes walk. Jomtien Beach is totally different than Pattaya - wide, clean and mostly Thai families enjoying their day off - you dont get accosted every 10m by some female (and some not female) inquiring "where you go - I go with you?" - not that there's anything wrong with that - it has its time and place but gets a little old after a while. Almost made a big mistake - filming as I walked rather than watching where I was going, encountered a soft piece where they are building a new road and went over on my ankle - thankfully heard no snap and was able to walk on it for about another hour with minor pain - that could have put a cramp on the plans as I am flying to Cambodia tomorrow - will be more careful in the future.
Video later when I get around to uploading it.
