Affordable Luxury - Pattaya Thailand Condo Tour

[@TravelGlitch]

Some people didn't catch the name of this condo in the video, it's Cosy Beach View Condo, located in Pratumnak. Make sure to watch this video next as these 11 points are worth knowing before coming to Thailand 👀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZKXq5h3presgZYsi=kzNs59kCuvD5xTUY

[@Cello69.]

Good video. Will definitely check out that condo. Quick question, have you ever seen any kind of bugs in the condo?

[@jbranche8024]

My recommendation is if possible rent a unit short time (Airbnb) in the building you want and make sure you like it. Also be aware of time of day and if any bars or night clubs are close by. Enjoy the music when out with the mates not so much when its everyday.

[@TravelGlitch]

Thats true, although if ever booking an airbnb at a large condo like this, don't tell anyone. There's a law which prohibits any rentals under 30 days, although people still advertise their properties on airbnb for less. Just gotta keep quiet about it 😉

[@Sukhumvit1]

One of my pals told me to do that before I bought my place in Bangkok. I hadn’t even thought about it. Done a weeks airbnb in a few buildings then decided what place to get. I was lucky because the place I really liked was a nightmare when I stayed the week in the place.

[@timjensen6968]

Always check out what the place in like AT NIGHT. During the day it might be very quiet but noisy at night.

[@DurianriderCyclingTips]

Ive been going to Thailand since 2005. I get condos up top with great air flow. Then you dont need air con and can train/bang even harder as you dont get dehydrated from the air con. Ive never had a car and got a vasectomy. I get to save 95% of my income as a result!

[@sebastianhamilton5892]

I like your remarks about how costly trying to save 3000 baht in rent may actually be. I am reminded of Ben Franklin's famous quote: "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten".

[@darkangel8068]

Nice edit from your last video of why you moved to Thailand! You said click here to see apartment tour, then BOOM, no wasting time. NICE!

[@TravelGlitch]

Thank you! 😁

That is a mint outlook man. The road to watch the world go by and the beach got it all. That table with ya laptop is gonna save ur back I need that😂

[@petescott]

Nice condo tour, I live in Chiang Mai and pay roughly the same for my condo. I have a little more space in terms of the apartment itself, but definitely less facilities. You can't really go wrong though with Thailand wherever you decide to live.

[@TheBuddyShowWorldwide]

I lived in CM for a year. I paid 10k for a 1 BR 50 sqm with balcony overlooking the mountains. I love CM but it's too remote and I miss the ocean. Leaving Cebu City in a week and off to Jomtien.

[@brandongesicki3043]

Stayed there in June for the month. Great place for the price. The area around is fantastic too.

[@JohnnyFD]

Nice condo and location! What temperature do you set your AC on? I believe those central AC units you have use more electricity than the mini splits.

[@ElJefe0719]

Great presentation, great video. And lmao at 2:00 to 2:08 🤣🤣

[@Pushinghard101]

Thanks Ryan . Very inspiring videos which have given me the courage to finally book a 3 week holiday to thailand . Your first video is so similar to my story , it really made a new life seem achievable for me also ... it moved my thoughts into actions... Thank you .

[@TravelGlitch]

Thanks man, wish you all the best of luck and enjoy your time here! 👌

[@Pushinghard101]

Have you considered doing a 1 week of your life now settled from Monday morning to Sunday eve but also give costings and times ect .How much time you work against play and what there is to do there as I'm also into fitness and yoga . Can I do some training and yoga on the beach sunrise or sunset ? Just an idea . Thanks again .

[@Dan-qm7ho]

Your presentation and rational is perfectly suited for the Western traveler or retiree..... These are my parameters to living in Asia.... Having a decent and comfortable place to stay and my own transportation is key having a free and reliable living circumstance... The place is on the smaller side. but the quality and newness factor i think would make the difference in my mental state in that space... good job.... you are on the spot with your presentation...

[@CarnisChampion]

I love this about condos in Thailand it is not just a flat you rent but you have access to gym pool etc etc :) just a flat where I live is about 450USD not including electric.

[@AlwaysAbroad]

Nice place and well done tour!

[@bigdogmack8692]

That rug really pulls the whole room together 😊😊

[@gregweigel8115]

Great videos it's a nice apartment. I would not say luxury, by any means. Just would have liked know the square meters? I would love that condo with twice the square meters but instead of square foot added, they usually add a second room which I don't like...

Nice to see a farang still enjoying Western tea. Here in Canada, the two main brands of orange-pekoe tea are "Red Rose" and "Tetley". I do not know if you ever saw these while living in the UK. Have you seen them in Thailand?

Great video. Condo looks fantastic. Where could someone get the table that your laptop was on? That's a must have for me. 😊

I'm not sure, it came with the apartment. There may be similar people selling on the app "Shopee" that's where I got my mattress topper from

[@paulhefner2813]

thanks for the video. How far are you from a swimming beach? You mentioned 2-5 minutes. Is that true? How far in meters? Great video!

[@Sukhumvit1]

Awesome place you have got yourself 😎 I tried to stay in the Pattaya area when I was first looking for a place in Thailand and took a 6 month lease out but I had to be honest with myself and admit I’ve no self control to stay in 😂 Now I only do the odd weekend down there for a blowout 😀

[@TravelGlitch]

Very true, temptation is everywhere especially in Pattaya 😂

[@h01dMy0wn]

how long are the leasing options usually in Thailand? you mentioned 6 months do they offer shorter times?

What about currency conversion for AUD?

[@williamdahl3318]

Excellent video! Is there a bus route within walking distance? Does the unit include Wifi, or you provide your own internet? Thanks!

[@TravelGlitch]

Unit has WiFi but it's terrible, I got my own router and cable installed (3000 baht and 1k per month for 500/500 upload download through surf internet). There isn't a bus route close by, so taxi is your best option aside from riding yourself

i want to grab this opportunity. I would like to move on June first week. may i get the details? how to book?

[@coreyminors9427]

dope vid! If i'm looking to move at the beginning of next year it's too early to try to find a place yea?

[@TravelGlitch]

Awesome, good luck! Maybe it's a little early but you could time it right where a tenant moves out around that time and you could set up a moving in date. Get some emails sent out and see what you can arrange 👍

[@cowboyvicepisodes1945]

Nice editing intro,good tour m8,nice one and good luck,the one prob i had living in that area was that it is not on a baht bus route,there are other ways but a little more expensive than the cheap baht buses,though that situation may be different now ?

[@TravelGlitch]

Thanks mate! Yeah having a motorbike certainly makes things easier up here

[@DarkoFitCoach]

In pratumnak gotta have a motorbike. 2k or 3k a month and ur golden. Much better then shitty slow bahtbusses. With wheels ur in skygallery in 2mins, muscle factory in 90secs, soi 5 in 2mins, jomtien in 5 and beachroad or buakhao in 7mins. Easy peasy park where u want and enjoy life!

[@hfc6535]

Thank you for that. Nice place . I'm moving out there next month for a year at least. I reckon you're right about not trying to save a few quid . I know you said Facebook. But can you recommend any other real estate agent's? . Just subscribed to your channel

[@TravelGlitch]

Hey, thanks for the sub! Good luck when you move here, you'll love it. In terms of real estate agents I only know the Facebook groups. This was advertised on Facebook by the sales office of this condo. The best thing to do is to book a hotel for 3-7 days, and within that time drive around and just walk into any condo asking to look at their rooms and rental prices. You can get a list of places to visit on Facebook and most condos have a sales office similar to this one where they can show you on the day anything that's available 👍

[@btk2234]

Thank you for the info 🙏

[@dps4358]

Damn dude you just made me want to do the same as you! I am free to do so and I happen to have a bit of spare money. How long will you be staying there? I was in Phuket 10 years ago myself and currently im 33 and have been thinking of just going back there myself on longer terms! This is so motivating! And 11500 baht for a month is totally wild! I been doing some google search but I could not find these prices yet

[@Mason_AltF4]

hello glitch, why is there no other people in the condos service areas like the pool, and the leisure area? it looks everyything so empty overall. what does a busy day there look like? thank you

[@TravelGlitch]

I went at a very quiet time to film to avoid getting anyone on camera, typically there's always at least one person in the sauna and a few people around the pool area, this is low season too so from now until May it'll certainly be busier

[@Mason_AltF4]

cool thank you bro, what is the condos name?@@TravelGlitch

[@tonylee7714]

Very detail, thanks

[@peelyo94]

nice apartment it seems very cheap for what you get but how much do you make whilst in thailand is it a lot less than in the UK? and whats the taxes like?

[@intenseninja82]

Wow, the price for that condo is amazing. Can you rent long-term after 6 months or do you have to move to another condo in Pattaya?

[@TravelGlitch]

You can rent for 6 months, 1 year and I assume at the end of this contract I could renew if I wanted

[@bobmathews9072]

what's it like re waiting lists etc , deposits ?

[@danielgareau2836]

Ironic because I know this building (from other videos) and actually considering the very same apartment layout because of the nook that I would set up as my trading space. It was great to get more detailed information about the apartment I'm most interested in. Nicely done video. Maybe you can do another one showing what is nearby (shopping malls, gyms, kart racing, driving ranges, etc). I liked this video so much I'm subscribing to your channel.

[@TravelGlitch]

Thanks for your comment! Pratumnak is about 5 minute drive away from popular spots such as shopping malls, markets etc. There is some shops, restaurants, massage, weed shops and food vendors 1 minute walk away but everything else will require a bike/taxi to get there. Hope that helps!

[@carltonedwards8775]

[@HoshiaHoshia]

Are you paying the cheaper government subsidised (electricity and water) rates or the usually higher rate which the the condo management company is charging you? The invoice is the clue on which one you're paying.

[@TravelGlitch]

This condo is 6 baht per unit so 1 baht above government rate, not too bad as I've seen some condos charging 8 or 9 baht

[@HoshiaHoshia]

Good Stuff! - Good that you're aware of this when condo hunting. @@TravelGlitch

[@GinnoVidal]

Hey, cool video I have a question do they do per month?

[@TravelGlitch]

Unfortunately they do not. Although independent landlords may do listening on airbnb. This is tech ically not allowed to do less than 30 days rent though so 🤫 haha

[@GinnoVidal]

@@TravelGlitch Thank you haha 🙏

[@coscorrodrift]

nice place im ngl. is 10 months later your rent still the same?

[@TravelGlitch]

If you lock into a 6 or 12 month contract, the price will remain the same each month. Because of this, if you can secure a good deal in the low season (around now), that price remains even throughout the high season

[@stevewright6290]

Great deal... Leaves more money for the bar girls.. Probably 3 or 4 of those per week...

[@andrewbrann6231]

I've been to the Philippines and thailand. I'm not big on this bar girl thing. Seem like a lot of foreigners go there for bar girls that seems like an incredibly unwise way to spend money. I stayed an hour from Chiang Rai saw 3 foreigners in 25 days. Loved it. Way cheaper than even Chiang Mai and more traditional I would say

[@s.carter1646-b9c]

How are the prices now ?? Still affordable?

[@DennisLong-iw8ys]

[@4711shaun2]

how late at night can you access the pool area in these condos? one thing that annoys me with hotels in Pattaya is they lock the pool about 7pm. not for swimming, I 'd just like to sit out there with my laptop rather than on the balcony but can't.

[@TravelGlitch]

14th floor pool closes 10pm, rooftop 11pm I believe 👍

[@DarkoFitCoach]

Cosy view. Great condo

[@thekevorlando]

Hey Brother I was not going to ask the name of the condo Community cuz I figured you wouldn't give it if you were still going to be living there but the next video it said that you were staying in England at least for the meantime if you could tell me the name of that complex that's the type of area and the type of amenities I would like and good on you for recognizing the things that you needed to change to keep yourself happy and productive only if more people could do that thank you if you can get me the name of that complex

It's called Cosy Beach View Condominium, they have a contact page on their website, pop that in on Google 👍

[@doingthingsdifferently]

Whats the noise like in the apartment / area good sir? quiet is important to me but also hard to find 😂

The name is Cosy Beach View Condo. Unfortunately pratumnak is up a hill so I don't think the baht buses come this way, I do see them but not sure if they're on some kind of route. Night Market is down the hill so I have a motorbike although there's lots of bolt/taxi drivers around

[@Happ1971]

Is your electric billed by electric company or condo itself?

By the condo itself which is 6 baht in this condo, 1 baht above the government rate

Hello. Please tell me from February 2 to March 11, 2023, is it possible to rent? What is the cost?

For a rental term that short you'll have to seek out airbnb and hope this condo is featured, as minimum contact from the sales office is 6 months 👍

[@TravelGlitch]

Yes the doors are almost safe-like quality, very thick and double lock. The security is 24/7 and they monitor the barrier constantly. You have to have a key card to get in and also a key card to go up any levels, so it's pretty secure 👍

Bangkok is very pricy from what I saw a few months ago, especially if you want a semi good location that isn't a 30 minute BTS ride away from the centre.
