You have the prettiest agents showing you around 😍. Places look great too

Yeah she's really hot.

[@xavierkoolat6926]

In my life, I've noticed that sometimes compromise is the best path. These condos are older, yes, but the cost is fantastic, along with the great space. I want a kitchenette, which these have, with a freezer-fridge, a washing machine, a spacious living-lounge area, and reasonable bedroom and bathroom. So, for me, this seems ideal. The location is actually close to all that I would need. Why? I'm NOT a party animal, NOT a boozer, NOT obsessed with over the top libido pressures (I'm 81 years old), and still close to the beach, massage places, restaurants, plus a large enough pool for swimming laps. The Muscle Gym looks super as well. These are perhaps one of the best all around best condos I've seen you offer so far. (Friday, April 22, 2022) Thanks again Daz for finding the difficult to find best places.

The older buildings are probably better built than the new ones and usually have less than 8 floors making them probably safer.

[@gkprivate433]

My preferred choices all around for sure

[@Wolf-xi4if]

Just a thought, you should set up a business as a referral service for people looking to rent condos. You're getting the city covered and know where everything is and the best deals!!

[@ericg9092]

Wow, just finding this video in August of 2022. This looks like a GREAT option for condos. They are a little bit dated, sure, but the size to spread out and be comfortable is amazing.

Another great video, and the eye candy was bonus points! Thanks

Dang. That first place, big shower with a window which I like to get i fresh air and helps keep things fresh. I like the quiet pool, surrounded by plantss. Reminds one that they are in the tropics and an exotic place. Double Dang.

Great condos - nice and big for a bargain price. Thanks for showing us

[@angelcity8228]

Agree that these older places look great value 80sqm for the price of 35sqm in a new build. Great english on the girl - she could do well as a condo/finder. Des says "the design is old fashioned" like its a bad thing! More of these older places definitely please.

[@ckSport3000]

I like the OLDER condos also. Bigger, cheaper and space for a washing machine. Thanks.

The older buildings offer much better value, plus they have a bit of character. I stayed at the View Telay 2 and loved it.

How do I contact this building? Or the front desk?

[@pubbets7290]

@@anthonydowling3356 yes I stayed for a few months earlier this year and liked the people and local area. It's definitely top of my list. Stayed at 5-6 different condos but a lot of the newer places are VERY cheaply put together. They look nice (for now) but the walls are very thin and many of the fittings etc are cheap. JBC isn't the Hilton but the condo's are big, thick walls, cool throughout the day and close to everything I need.

I'm in the United States and those 2 apartments are a lot better that mine. I'm in a 671 square foot apartment paying a little over $1000 USD a month for just rent and it's the cheapest one. Can't wait to retire and live the good life in Thailand.

Beautiful big condos at very reasonable prices. A very good reminder of condo life, especially if there's renovations going on, when you heard the person hammering away in a room somewhere in the building yet it sounded like they were banging in your head....ugh! That hammering causes instant stress.

But it was due to be finished in 1 week

[@keithd1219]

@@everythingPattaya I understand Daz but to be honest, I was making a generalized comment about condo life with any construction that reverberates through the building, at least any condo ive ever lived in. I think I'm much better suited for a detached home.

[@onedge1176]

@@keithd1219 I think it is one of the possible downs of Condo life. If someone starts a 1 month reno it could be annoying. Need to find a friend to take the mind of it. Sure we'd survive.

[@GerardoTrilobites]

Good value for money. Older condos are always my favourites because they are bigger inside , tall ceiling too. About the building: low rise with character , always mature trees around the swimming pool, And in good and central locations. Cheap community charges , electric and water also. What more we could ask for? Thanks for share another fantastic video with us.

Great value for money.

If that looks like 30 years old, then it's oldskool, I can live with that!. I wonder how the new skool shoeboxes will look in 30 years time?. Little bit of money spent to renovate and you're good for another 30 yrs. You can't compare those units to the edge or base?. Size wise they are 2 units put together. Rather live in oldskool condos any day. Cheaper too !.

[@stephaneghesquiere9526]

Very nice, i prefer old too. I would like to stay there when i retirement. Next 5 years.

30 years old condo not really old as long as the construction of the building still looks good and not showing any structure damage.My son renting a loft two bedroom two bathrooms for $2400 a month plus $400 electric bill. The building was built 1878 in downtown Springfield Missouri. The newer condo half the price. The price of both condo in the video were great 👍. Thank you for all the information.

[@WadersInAlaska]

Splendid video!!🙏🙏 Thank you for all your arduous work! I personally prefer the older condominiums; the newer ones are a bit like staying in a walk-in closet for me. A stay over two weeks becomes too claustrophobic. But that is just me. Each to his/her own I say. Were you able to get back and review that one she said would be renovated in a month or so? I would love to see what they did to the old condo! Cheers!!

[@juanortega1654]

That's really nice I like it the condos not bad either LOL

[@sidecar7714]

Sure, it seems like someone is storing their old furniture in a somewhat clapped out apartment but it seems clean enough and spacious in a nice location. For the price, not a bad option. Nice to see alternatives.

Hi, Daz enjoyed your video it would have to be number one for me. Strange bedroom with the windows out to the hallway but it has no exterior window no natural light but it has one thing that many condo's do not have which is a bathtub that alone would be the reason I would rent number one. If two had a bath it would have been my first choice. The pool area looks nice very quiet no traffic noise. If you're on a budget I think both are good deals and the location is spot on. Plenty of entertainment restaurants and a top-class gym at the end of the street. The beach is ten minutes away. Good find :) Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M
