Bang Saray Beach Condos near Pattaya & Jomtien Thailand Rent 2024

[@michaelreed5684]

Remember prices vary depending on the time of year you view. I live in Jomtein and rent for far less only 8000 per month but if I had rented the same apartment in May the rent would have fallen to 6500. Also don’t be fooled about prices. Drive past any condo you are interested in at night and see how many lights are on. This gives an indication of the occupancy rate. Fewer lights the better deal you can negotiate.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thanks for the good advice, Michael.

[@pushthetempo3125]

This is the best advice I’ve seen so far, thank you

[@moseslamar8069]

I will come for 7 october and I plan to stay in Pattaya for a month. Where you think I can find a cheap condo? And thank you very much Sir

[@Fissan_Poulsen]

I love dreaming away while watching apartment tours like these, and as everyone else is saying, you're definitely the best on this subject. You also seem very respectful and likable. Take care!

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thank you very much; I appreciate that.. 🙏🏼

I like this quiet town with fewer tourists. Wondering if there are studios there? I'm only 1 person and a minimalist. Thank you for the informative video.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

You're very welcome. Studios and 1bed/1bath units are the easiest to find available. It takes more effort finding the available 2 and 3 bedroom units.

[@hennysnorriaanpeek3710]

Thank you, and thanks for the suggestion. 🙏🏼

[@SunshineFL]

I like the one with the yard that is for Month to month. We can stay a couple months. Only.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I also like the month-to-month units. I like the flexibility of leaving whenever I want.

[@WxM3008WxM]

Anything bigger, 3 bed condo? Do you have any recommendations for house rentals? For family living. Thanks

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Yes, there are 3-bedroom condos and houses available to rent. I haven't looked into renting or buying a house so I don't have any specific details or recommendations, unfortunately.

[@CBMedia404]

I was in Bangsaray recently and one of the Thai beach vendors tried to attack me and my car with a hammer because he didn’t like how I parked. I’ve been all over Thailand, top to bottom in the past 7 years, and never experienced violence like this from locals. I would suggest avoiding Bangsaray or being very careful when going there, it’s not a safe place.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Wow, that's crazy! Everybody I spoke with in Bang Saray said it's peaceful and quiet. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@AndyShortall-b4r]

That condo ground floor on the beach is amazing. With that huge padio. You can put a BBQ there and a lawn set.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

That's precisely what Gig and I were thinking.

[@rougemoonchild9429]

these places are dope for real gonna rent something these when i touch down

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Excellent!

[@TheCasualTraveler]

I noticed there was an additional fee or charge for the electric stove in this video. Is this common with all condo rentals?

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

No, that's not common.

[@stanleykyle]

Really pay attention to the Electric charge fee. I once paid 8baht so my electric was 4 to 6,000 a month.. now I pay the low govt fee and my elec is only 2,500.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Good advice! 👊🏼

[@Kevin-zl1tm]

Planning a week vacation in Bang Saray at Del Mare. Did you have a chance to look at Del Mare?

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I tried getting into Del Mare twice, and Gig tried once over a couple of months. Each time, I was told there were no vacant units available. It looked like a very nice property from the outside.

[@blaklion80-mp1jc]

Everytime Gig says " like monk bed is hilarious "​@@JakeSnowLiveSimple

[@twomp1162]

Good review. If you need add wifi to a unit that doesn't have , what's the cost and long will it take company to come out and install? Thanks

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thank you. To add AIS high-speed internet/WiFi, it'll cost ฿500 ($14.07) and usually takes 2-3 days to get service installed.

Sea zen is easily the best of the two and also the better value- 9,500 baht and gouverment rate electric 4-5 baht a unit sounds good to me. Who do I contact to book !

[@Ian4444four]

Do you just go to the juristic office at each condo and enquire, or did you use an agent?

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I go to the office. I avoid using an agent because I want to save their time. I look at many units before I decide where to rent and which unit to rent.

[@Virenss4]

Hey Jake, keep up the great videos! I was wondering something. Maybe you find a cheap place that's perfect. You only need to stay 3 months, but they don't offer month to month. Can you take a 6 month contract if they offer it, pay for everything up front and leave earlier?

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thank you! 🙏🏼 Yes, you could pay everything upfront and leave early but you'd lose your deposit. I think it's best to avoid paying everything upfront. There are many available condos in Thailand that will do a month to month, and some do a three month. I prefer the shorter terms. Unlike in the US the rental terms seem to be negotiable at many units here in Thailand, except for the luxury condos.

[@toddmirsky1102]

Are there any penalties if you break a 1 year lease early to move to another location?

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Yes, a tenant that breaks a lease will lose their deposit money.

[@scotttracy9333]

​@@JakeSnowLiveSimple Do you ever get your deposit back ? I've known places that won't ever give it back

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Yes, I've never experienced issues getting my deposits back. So far, every owner or manager I've dealt with has been honest and pleasant to work with.

[@Virenss4]

I could live the Bang Saray Condo 1 bedroom. Would order out every day but try to keep it healthy

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

That's exactly how I would live if I didn't have Gig here cooking for me.

[@alexsigala2794]

Hey Jake, great content. I'm thinking of coming the Thailand for about 3 months. Where do you recommend that I go to find a nice 1 bedroom place that does not require a 1 year lease? With beach access?

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thank you! Pattaya and Jomtien have the highest concentration of places to stay. Pattaya Beach location will put you right in the action. Super busy with tourists but easy access to everything. A person could walk everywhere from Pattaya beach. Airbnb and small boutique hotels are the best way to stay for only three months. I prefer the nice owner-operated boutique hotels because they are usually less expensive than Airbnb. However, Airbnb is a better option if you need a condo with a kitchen or a luxury condo, and it's easier to find one of these units with a beach view and/or beachfront access. Some larger hotels will also have monthly rates. When I arrive in a new area, I'll stay at a hotel for a few days while I check out places for a longer-term stay. There are many options.

[@stevepollard2169]

How much water and electric per month roughly.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Here are averages based on our experience living in Pattaya. Water: ฿150 ($4.07) per month per person. Electric: ฿3,500 ($94.41) - 6,500 ($175) The location of the unit within a complex is a bigger factor than actual square feet. Top floors on the sun side are much more expensive to cool. Also, March - October will have the highest electric bill due to AC. Some condos are positioned perfectly to allow a breeze to flow through, making it comfortable to run the AC less. Others are like an inferno.

[@randallmeans9797]

When I finally move I think Chang Mai is my destination, but I really hope we do cross paths!! I love content!! 🩷

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I'd like that very much. 👊🏼

[@captainron7904]

What’s the deal with him asking about the smell do so,e of the units smell bad ? Moldy ?

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Bad smells reveal underlying problems when looking at real estate to buy or rent. The condos and apartments in my videos are units I recommend to friends or family; there are no bad smells. I edited out the properties I would not recommend to friends or family.

[@CamillaCoachHarris]

How often do they come clean the apartment,? Is the $25 a monthly cleaning fee,,?

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

$25 per cleaning on that first condo. That one was higher than usual. It's usually only $14 per cleaning.

[@CamillaCoachHarris]

@@JakeSnowLiveSimple thank you

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

You're welcome.

[@tmb3131]

I've lived in Bang Saray as recent as Jan 2024 , great location for shops, bars and dining but beware, there is NO NOISE LAWS along the beach road in Bang Saray. We had to move from Del Mare because of the constant car stereo partiers along the beach road nearly every night. It's extremely loud and disruptive to an otherwise wonderful location.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thank you for sharing your experience. 👊🏼

[@urbanart7325]

Where you suggest I live if I do not want to rent a scooter or a car?

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I'd stay between Pattaya Beach and Central Pattaya. Everything I would need to live is within a mile, at most 2 miles, radius of these areas. Food, laundry, and entertainment are everywhere, within minutes of walking.

[@gordon.Jacko1055]

[@guymandudely324]

Remember this ... electricity is VERY EXPENSIVE in Thailand and you MUST run your A/C all the time when you are inside your room or you will sit in a puddle of sweat. A 31sqm room is quite small but easy to air-condition. The bigger the apartment, the higher your electric bill and you could be looking at 3000-5000baht a month for electric for a 2-Bd apartment.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thanks for sharing the information. 👊🏼

Electric isn’t expensive everywhere, some condos are gouverment rate - which is cheap. Around 6-8 baht unit is fine

Oh, I see. I'm just sharing my experience how I look at condos. I like to ask questions after I've seen the property to make sure it's worth while to ask questions. I look at many properties that I never put in videos. I save many hours by seeing first, asking questions second. Seeing the property first before getting the details makes more sense to me.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Anything above 40 sq. meters is a comfortable size for most people. The 29 sq. meters and smaller feels similar to living in an RV.
