I live in the city for working at Bangkok by renting an apartment. There’ s quite no the space
for children. The noise pollution affects to living in the city because this city is more crowder
than other city. I am not familiar with the neighbours. It’s needs to live in the city to
working, but it make me alone.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Point 2: noise-pollution
Nowadays, living in big cities is easier than usual and we don't have to worried about noise
pollution anymore. Because we can stay in a quiet place such as the higher floor of
condominium with air conditioner.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Living in the city is what I am. I study and work in the capital. It has both advantages and
disadvantages. Living in the city have many facilitator for people such as condominium,
department store, market, hospital etc. However, The city is no space for children because
that have limit area. The city have traffic jam and that effect to noise and air pollution. On
the other hand, Relationship with neighbors in the city are individual and disinterested. For
that all reason, I want to go back to a small town.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------

Living in a small town, the number of people is not much as stay in the city,The air is less
pollution than in city also you can make relationship with neighbors and enjoy activity
together. Although the area is not big as living in the city but when you need help, you can
ask for help from your neighbors.

The factor is used to consider for buying a house. If you live in the city, the space has
limited. For example, the condominium is more popular than house that is the reason why
limited space. Next, the effect for dweller living in city is noise-pollution because the
residence surrounded by road that has many traffic congestions. Last, the relationship with
the neighbors is hard to make close because townie want privacy and distrust easily. To sum
up, They are three factors to compare when you decide to buy a house: space, pollution and
relationship.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Point 3: relationship with the neighbors

It is good to live in the cities because they have more universities than a small town.
Students not have to travel for a long journey to study. That means they can save more
money and spend more good time with their family and neighbors.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Point 2.Noise-pollution
A. Living in the city
Staying in a big city often has the sound of a car or a factory but if you choose a place
surrounded by trees, there is a more natural area. It is interesting for both convenient travel
and various facilities.
B. Living in a small town
You will get close up to nature. It may be far from the facility but you will see more nature
and get more fresh air.

Sometimes, I think about where my house in the future should be living in the city or living
in a small town.I’ve never lived in a small town all in my life so I find that I prefer to live in
the small town. First thing I think is the air pollution . Both people to live in the city or in a
small town breath the same air but the small town is purer air than the air in the city.In the
city, they have a lot of building and markets so it shows that more convenient than in a
small town. In contrast, in the city doesn’t have space enough for children and for people
who rising a family. The last point that I concern is the people, I find that people in the city
were less helpfulness while people in a small town were helpful each other.Finally, living in a
small town is more peaceful and purer than in the city.

space for children such as BuengKaennakhon , BuengnhongKod , Buengsritan where they
are the publish garden for all people too. Because Khonkean is the big city so many of
student come to join and study at Khonkaen University that’s why the vehicle made of
noise-pollution. At the big city, Naimuang it is the difference of people so the neighbors are
the less of relationship.

Living in city vs living in a small town

If you’re interested in moving to somewhere new but you’re not sure where to live yet. City
or a small town—which is better? Keep reading and let’s find the right place for you!

The first thing that you should consider about when you’re looking for a new house is
“Space”. The space is matter because the more spaces you get the more costs you pay. And
of course, if you choose living in a city, the cost of living will be more than living in a small
town. So, if you want to save your money, i recommend you to live in a small town.

Next thing you should consern is “Noise Pollution”. Noise Pollution is more important than
you think because it is impossible to change or controll all the environment in your
neighbour. Therefore, please be awared of the environment of the place that you’re going
to live in. If you don’t mind hearing noise from a hallway and street, living in a city is good to
go for you!

Last, as you know that human is naturally a “social animal”, so you can not escape from
meeting or talking to your “neighbour”. If you are an independent person and don't want to
company with anyone new, I recommend you to live in a city. This is because living in a small
town will need you to be a part of the community and interact with your neighbour. So, if
you’re an outgoning person, the neighbour is waiting for you.

To sum up the suggestion to find your right place to live is depended on your lifestyle and
your budget. Your life, your choice.
