The elderly retired couple are actually my boyfriend's parents. I think they are mosty interested in vegetating, drinks in hand. I live in Chalong, so I hope to find something in the area (though not necessarily right next door to me!

). Could be Rawai or Naiharn, but yeah, something peaceful.
I thought maybe posting here would be a short cut to finding a place, but I've been looking elsewhere as well. There are alot more amusing threads in these forums, that's for sure.
