How it's scored: each district is rated 1–10 on eight relocation-relevant factors — EEC access, schools, healthcare, safety, value, transport, expat scene and quiet — and the BAANLYY Area Score is their average on a 0–100 scale. EEC access stands in for the nightlife factor used on beach-resort guides, since commute to the Eastern Economic Corridor's industrial estates and Laem Chabang port is the dominant factor in where relocating professionals choose to live (see the schools guide and safety guide). It's a transparent comparison starting point, not investment advice — weight the factors that matter to you.

Frequently asked

What is the BAANLYY Chonburi Area Score?The BAANLYY Area Score is a transparent 0–100 rating for each Chonburi district. It's the average of eight relocation-relevant lived-experience factors — EEC access, schools, healthcare, safety, value, transport, expat scene and quiet — each scored out of 10 from BAANLYY's Chonburi area dataset, then converted to a 100-point scale. EEC access replaces the nightlife factor used on beach-resort guides, since commute to the Eastern Economic Corridor's industrial estates and port is the dominant driver of where relocating professionals choose to live here. It's a starting point for comparison, not investment advice.
Which Chonburi area scores highest?On the current overall score, Sriracha leads with a BAANLYY Area Score of 79, followed by Laem Chabang (63) and Bang Saen (60). Scores balance all eight factors — your personal best area depends on whether you're weighing EEC commute time and schools, or value and quiet.
How should I use the score in Chonburi?Use the overall score to shortlist, then dig into the factors that matter for an industrial/EEC province — a corporate relocation weighs EEC access, schools and healthcare, a retiree or budget-focused long-stayer weighs value and quiet, a family should pair the schools score with the full schools guide before committing. Open the areas guide for pricing, lifestyle and who each area suits, then compare against the Pattaya city hub if beach-tourism amenities matter more than industrial-estate commute times.
