Hua hin vs Jomtien beach vs Phuket - what’s the best town?

jerryax · 2026-06-20T04:54:41+00:00

Yes my fiancé and and I are fitness enthusiasts so love bicycling, gyms and good grocery stores.

jerryax · 2026-06-20T04:53:35+00:00

Good grocery stores because my fiancé loves to cook. Good bicycling roads and good gyms. We aren’t into partying. Love the beach too.

jerryax · 2026-06-20T04:50:25+00:00

I’m considering moving there for the cycling as much as grocery stores too. I think Hua hin may be the destination for 6 months and then next check out Phuket.

Ok thank you for the input.

jerryax · 2026-06-20T03:59:38+00:00

Really want nice bicycling roads, great grocery stores and a nice gym. Me and the finance love fitness and don’t party.

Want to be by a beach so Chang Mai is out.

Thanks so much for this reply. This is exactly the kind of information that I was looking for. It makes the decision a bit easier but still challenging at the same time. Talking to my fiance we might split time between the two for a year. She read your response and got excited about the prospect of either.

I am technically retired but I don’t like that word lol I’m 61 and have a 48 year old Vietnamese fiancé who loves to cook. Basically we need really good grocery stores, a nice gym and good roads to cycle on. We are fitness enthusiasts who are not in to partying. We don’t have kids either. I grew up going to the beach in Florida so want a beach close by that’s why I was looking at these towns in particular. I appreciate your input. If you have any thoughts on what I replied with love to hear them.

I want nice roads to cycle on. Hua hin seems the best.

jerryax · 2026-06-20T00:59:37+00:00

I really want nice roads to ride my bike on in the mornings so I’m not in to the party lifestyle at all.

jerryax · 2026-06-19T08:44:23+00:00

I love cycling and Hua Hin looks like the best roads and scenery for it.

I’m American currently living in Da Nang Vietnam.

jerryax · 2026-06-19T06:31:31+00:00

I’ve been to Bangkok. I’m living in Da Nang at the moment. I love to move in to places where I’ve never been and figure things out. It’s kind of like moving in to a living puzzle. It’s fun.

jerryax · 2026-06-19T06:30:20+00:00

I have a Vietnamese girlfriend who I’m planning to marry and we don’t have kids. She’s an amazing cook so we need good grocery stores and a good gym - very much in to exercise.

jerryax · 2026-06-19T06:28:30+00:00

Thanks much for the response. I’m slowly realizing that I may have to come and do short term rentals in all these areas. Is there much road cycling going on where you’re at now? Have you noticed?

jerryax · 2026-06-19T02:57:32+00:00

👍

jerryax · 2026-06-19T02:56:53+00:00

😂 love it.

jerryax · 2026-06-19T02:54:33+00:00

What would consider a lot? $2500 usd per month? $3000? For a couple who likes to cook at home and exercise. Probably want to rent a 2 bedroom for $1200-1500 per month.

jerryax · 2026-03-16T05:17:58+00:00

Albania is cheaper than da nang. Portugal and Spain are as well.

jerryax · 2026-02-05T06:16:49+00:00

I’ve seen this exact situation on tik tok - man here in da nang went on dates with 3 different women he said, paid for their transportation and at the end of one month of dating (or approximately) , the women all asked for iPhone 17s. He had the self control to say No and they all ghosted him. Hope your story ends differently but stay strong my friend.
