The BAANLYY Area Score rates Kanchanaburi's 2 main living options on a transparent 100-point scale, built from six lived-experience factors. One number to compare at a glance — then dig into the detail that matters, whether that's practicality or scenery.
How it's scored: each area is rated 1–10 on six factors — value, infrastructure & services, nature & scenery, quiet, walkability and rental depth — and the BAANLYY Area Score is their average on a 0–100 scale. Kanchanaburi genuinely has only two real living options (see the where-to-live guide), so this page uses fewer factors than larger cities' scores pages rather than stretching for distinctions the source material doesn't support. It's a transparent comparison starting point, not investment advice — weight the factors that matter to you.
| # | Area | Score | Value | Infrastructure & services | Nature & scenery | Quiet | Rental depth |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kanchanaburi Town (Mueang district) Practical, local, walkable | 72 | 9 | 10 | 3 | 5 | 8 |
| 2 | Riverside near the bridge (River Kwai / Mae Nam Kwai strip) Nature-first, resort-adjacent, quieter | 52 | 5 | 2 | 10 | 8 | 2 |
