Just need to consider if the price difference for any places closer to the city are worth it. Any chance you are going to upload the video on your cheap scooter rental contact soon? Some info on costs and rules for any damage would be great as I have heard it might be a better option to just buy one and sell it when leaving.- Would be great to get your input. Cheers mate!

Great video look at some reasonable priced condos, another person was showing me their condo at $850 a month, give me a break. Yes, it was nice, but for the money you save you could kit your condo out with the best of everything. I guess if you were going to Chiang Mai for 3 months max. maybe, but still in Pattaya you could do better and the ocean is your play ground. Not that I stay in Pat, but just outside the city.

Thanks for another valuable video. Some questions: 1) Can you rent out bicycles for cheaper than a motorbike? I don't mind the pedaling and it helps get your exercise in for the day without a separate gym workout. 2) I've heard lots of places explicitly say "no actual cooking inside the units." Is that the case w/this one? Is cooking in your "no cooking allowed" apartment kind of a don't-ask-don't-tell thing there? 3) Are there produce markets for cheap healthy fresh fruits and veg withing walking distance? I'm not joining any cults, but been going more raw lately and it seems to work for me.
@brett_dev8 жыл бұрын
Yep you can get a bicycle cheaper, but you'll have a much greater chance of getting knocked off it than you would a moped. I'm not sure about the cooking rules, most of those rules apply to having a huge propane tank in your room. A small gas stove is the way to go, you can buy them for about 500 baht. Or even an electric one. 90% of Thai people cook in their rooms. The area has great community food markets, in a coming video I show you around the local food market here, would take about 5/10 mins to walk there from here.
