Hi can anyone advise me on the best areas to live in Chennai. I will be moving there in Jan 12 and need an in site on areas and standards f accommodation. I am currently in the UK but have recently been in the mid-east.

I will be on single status and any advice on expat clubs activities, bars restaurants and social scene would be good.

Hi Wolfman, welcome to BE - sorry I have no idea about Chennai, I hope one of our other members will be able to help you.

Hello, sorry you haven't had any useful info.
I know Chennai quite well as we have close relatives living in the T. Nager area. This area is great for shopping etc.
I don't have any knowledge of the expat scene though.

Hi Wolfman

Welcome to BE from me too.

Unfortunately I can't add anything useful about the Chennai scene.
Goa is only a short flight away, and has a huge social scene so it may suit you to pop down there for the odd weekend ? The beer is cheaper in Goa too (if that's your thing)

All the best with your move

have you tried the newcomers club and the Overseas Womens club of Madras They seem to have chaps in their picture!!
What about internations too if you have traveled elsewhere you will be familiar with them no doubt
