How Much for a Beach Front Condo in Rural Thailand

[@sails3538]

The fist condo is exactly what I bought in Pratamnak for 1.1 MB. Completely new renovation. So nice to be rent free.

[@ronthompson2366]

And as usual, it's another well-done video. 😎👍

[@timothyrill3825]

I learned something new as usual with your video's.

[@frankiesmart1113]

Great video Lucas definitely worth the look if you want a slower pace of life. Older condos are bigger and can be Great value. Thanks as always 👍🫵👍

[@twenisix]

Thanks for the viewings ... Cheers 👍

[@Rides4Kickz]

No problem 👍

[@NYNYRaider]

It may be cheaper but it’s much less exciting and a lot harder to get help with things in the rural areas. I’m glad I own in Bkk and Pattaya

[@billsimpson2392]

Very interesting Lou . Thank you👍

[@bosnianswede]

I was told 20y ago to never buy property in TH, still valid.

[@alanchase7329]

Haven't paid rent for 35 years. Property has paid for itself several times over in saved rent and can still be sold for more than it cost.

[@bosnianswede]

@@alanchase7329 If you planned on living in the same spot for 35 years than you made a good call. I you were an ivestor you´d have to account to 35 years of inflation, 35 years of lost return on stock market if you put that money there and so on. And from what I hear it is a real hassle to find a buyer for an older property. What is your experience?

[@anthonydowling3356]

House no ,Condo maybe .

[@bosnianswede]

@@alanchase7329 If your plan was to live in the same spot for 35 years than you made a good decision. Personally, I wouldn't like the feeling of being stuck with a property that is only getting older and harder to sell. Are you sure there will be buyers when you decide to sell?

[@franksaunders6534]

Thanks, Loucous, for the nice rundown.

[@Robertmacmedia]

Great video Lucas i like the older buildings also cause units always larger have a great day 🙏

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks Robert

[@OceansEleven-sd8wf]

Lukas these condos are beautiful. Well worth the investment. Thank you for sharing this with us 😊😊🇹🇭🇹🇭🙏🙏

[@Rides4Kickz]

My pleasure 😊

[@Sean85Laney]

Could you make a video on condos with big rooms and nice gyms?

[@Roof_Pizza]

So much cheaper when you don't have a real estate agent taking a big, western style bite.

[@Connor-jf7rp]

So avoid realtor types even when renting? Go direct to condo owner if possible? Or building management?

[@jrnumex9286]

western style( US) hits got changed by law earlier this year. big gravy no more

[@VivoVivo-dj4su]

Always enjoy watching your vids Lucus,,, this part of Pattaya is so underrated but is beautiful all the same bit removed from the hussle and bussel of Pattaya Main nice and quiet but bit far from conveniences for myself but still beautiful 🌟🌟🌟🙏🙏 Live love Thailand

[@mosscrowley3115]

Thanks Lucas, good job 👍 👌. How is the water for swimming in that area?.

[@BirdDog.]

Anyone notice all the birds chirping? Nice to hear that. I don’t recall ever hearing that in Pattaya

[@willsmith39]

Plenty of chirping birds in Pattaya - just not the feathered variety 🙄

[@Coconutwater24]

12k is too much for a room with no kitchen in rayong lol. Maybe 6k 7k

[@markholland6657]

bloody hell..nice!! I'm moving over there next yr then!!!

[@samyan3377]

I wish you would tell us where this is !

Hello 👋 Lucas Great footage and great verbiage. Stay safe😊😊

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks Pauline

[@Roger_Rademakers_1971]

Number 204 ( above the reception ) @ Sea Sand Sun Condo in Rayong was 750.000 Baht...3 months ago ;-)

[@F__D__R__]

My first trip to thailand in 2009 was to rayong province, staying between ban phe and mae phim. Loved the slow pace, the prices… SO CHEAP! But sine learned to love places like ao nang, phuket, etc. The pupathara? (Spelling) is really huge, but totaly empty when i came there to visit the final resulta… lota of for rent signs etc. Nice video! And as allways, keep it up

[@Rides4Kickz]

Cool 👍👍🙏

[@GlitteratiLive]

Correct my if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember a new condo building being complemented somewhere between 2 and 4 years ago, in Rayong.

[@trippinout.]

That chicken wire is great if you are a Russian opposed to the war. They have a tendency to fall off balconies.

[@carleto9597]

Very nice Condo's for the price too. Thanks Loucous.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks Carleto

[@RaymondMullen-t9j]

I like the Idea of the Bed Room being separate from the Living Area .. $$375.00 a Month is Very appealing and the amenities .. Is that Chicken wire on the Balcony ? The area Your at now Reminds Me of Brigantine N.J. where We Lived and now Nags Head N.C. Great Tour THANKS ...

[@Rides4Kickz]

it may be like chicken wire but its plastic

[@Connor-jf7rp]

Great content! How do foreigners pay rent in Thailand digitally? Line Pay? Wise App? Some condos require 2-3 months deposit. Thoughts?

[@RichardPowell-es6ym]

Great Video !

[@iandann8788]

interesting Luke ,thank you ,always enjoy your vids

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks 👍

[@shaunwilkinson7720]

Have been watching you for years. We are going to be in Thailand for 3 months. Liked your Grand Avenue apartment. How do you recommend we go about renting for 3months?

[@patmooney6603]

Nice to see Lan

[@PS-gm7vg]

thats helpful!! thanks!!!!

[@SunnynPhilly]

The Sea Sand Sun and VIP both look nice 👍. Saw a couple newer places next to each other in the Saeng Chan Beach area, The Fortune and The Court Yard.

[@senianns9522]

The issues can be they are all 'down wind' of the Map Ta Phut and Rayong Refineries and Industrial estates! Clean air? I don't think so.

[@SunnynPhilly]

⁠@@senianns9522 Yea, good point. Probably better off around Khao Laem or down by the Marriott resort 🏝️

[@kennethlindstrom336]

There is a new high building next to vip condo chain . It's 5 years perhaps it was finished

[@MrEye4get]

There are some interesting semi-official-looking "No Drone Zone" signs. I'm sure the Civil Aviation Authority Thailand (CAAT) doesn't issue or certify those signs.

[@radolphmcmillan]

Rayong when we went in the 80s boat to koh samet we called it squid city ...amazing how things change

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thats right, there would be squid drying out in the sun everywhere, you could smell it from miles away 🤣

[@steingrovdal1]

Nice channel. 🙂

[@Freedom-33]

It would be useful to have the management expense costs included as those older condos are often much cheaper to reflect that

[@Rides4Kickz]

yes, but as a rental that cost is transparent, the owner pays that.

[@jaredlash5002]

The "No drones" sign also seems to lend credence to the reason to prohibit the taller buildings being related to the military base.

[@Rides4Kickz]

👍👍👍

[@bigdavoc1]

First condo at 1.200 THB a month ….. wow what a bargain …..555😊

[@willsmith39]

He obviously misspoke - it's 12000

[@bigdavoc1]

@ yeah he dropped a significant Zero

[@PREPFORIT]

So many options I have No idea where I will live in a few years but this helps. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@henriklaporte-se9kn]

Pratumnak is for me the best area, alot of restaurant. The area growing fast. I like it beacuse of less trafic. Other place like pattaya and jomtien there is so many cars. Some times i go to Mae Rumphueng Beach, Rayong, water are very clean. Best month is january and february.

[@jgb4unme1]

Thanks for sharing! They look like nice places. Dumb question, but does the beach there or close by) have a nice walking path like bang saen?

[@thaimanclark]

No. Sidewalk beside highway 5 metres from water.

[@Rides4Kickz]

there is a sidewalk for most of it, many people walk it in the morning or evenings.

[@lewer003]

Nice video Lucas. I stayed at Sammy Seaside on beach road there a few weeks ago. Sammy is interesting guy, check him out. He has a development near Ban Phe in planning might make for some "where to live" content. The interesting thing he is planning to include an assisted living building which I thought was a good idea.....

[@Rides4Kickz]

Nice 👍

[@mamabear5488]

Awesome! Are there any real big condos?? Ty, always enjoy❤

[@marycrawford9254]

Hi Mama bear. Would you be kind enough to share your advice for a 70s female moving to the area in few months ? Is Cosy beach your favorite area? Ect?

[@mamabear5488]

@marycrawford9254 I live in Atlantic Heights Apts. In Barnegat! Love it! Many others around too! If your in to buy try Barnegat 67! They are also making new ones right down from there ☮️

[@marycrawford9254]

@mamabear5488 thanks. Thanks

[@bill2328]

I knew you'd get punished for leaving the last zero off the price of the first condo but made it up with the $ conversion, those places are great value, and a great area depending on what you're into and where you want to be.

[@trevorbeevers9546]

Rayong looks more attractive each time you post.

[@pauldestocki5176]

A little pricey for Rayong. I am in Cosy Beach 1 block to the ocean for 10k.

[@andrewmorrison5157]

Can you explain that Sea Sand Condo price again Loucas I am a little confused I think you have made a mistake with the cost. Thanks

[@Rides4Kickz]

yeah 12k, sorry for the confusion

[@paulhefner2813]

If you are happy and it meets your needs then fantastic. I take a look at housing in batu kuwan this weekend. more for investment than living.

[@joeuwest489]

Good video ; condo maybe maybe not : it all depends

[@Viva_Thailand]

Nice for one person I think .

[@jefferylord308]

What are the house rental like?

[@rogregen4419]

Damn, that was a tall Thai Woman. The second Condo was really spacious. Shame it doesn't include Wifi. Do any of these units include electric? water? Is there a local market or a night market near by?

[@marycrawford9254]

How far to market? Public transport ?

[@2Rugrats9597]

How far away is this place form everything like grocery stores, bars, gyms , etc. wig living there would u need your own bike or car to get around

[@thaimanclark]

A few kilometres, need transport. 🎉

[@Rides4Kickz]

Yeah, its more rural, a buke would be needed, most goods can be obtained withing a few kilmoters.

[@2Rugrats9597]

@ thank you

[@davidvalez2256]

The first one is one thousand two hundred baht? Now that’s a deal.

[@aligudboy]

What the price for something like that in pattaya

[@anthonysimmins5153]

Why do they call it the yellow restaurant?

[@explorerpro0073]

Hi Lucas, is it really 1200 Baht per month or 12000 Baht per month ? The first condo.

[@Isz2134]

12,000

[@warrpedd]

Selling for the same price as 30 years ago, but what if you account for inflation.😂

[@boogboog8097]

If you compare a similar area population wise in any western countries there is nowhere near the oversupply of empty property as pattaya, im convinced condo building is a huge money laundering op its just not driven by demand and neither are the asking prices, just dreamed up.

[@Gurumregg]

Did you say 1200 b/ months for 1 year contract? First condo

[@Rides4Kickz]

yeah, 12k, sorry for the confusion

[@Gurumregg]

@Rides4Kickz 555 I thought it was a littel bit cheap, almost cheaper than a "thai garage room "

[@BirdDog.]

3x over 30yeara is a horrible investment. You could 5x in the s&p alone over that same period plus no maintenance fees and expenses. Great deal for owner occupied.

[@grahamjohnson4702]

Can you receive parcels in these condos do they have security on 24 hours.

[@Rides4Kickz]

yes, they deliver same as a house, if you are home you can receive directly or if you are out, they may be able to leave them at the front desk.

[@tonyh6846]

I'm thinking on the first condo you meant to say 12,000 per month, but you said 1,200 per month, pretty sure. Anyway no matter cheers mate, 🙂

[@DSbadger10]

Ya that's what I was thinking, but if it's really $35 a month well then I know where I am staying!!

[@jrnumex9286]

what became of pattaya real estate after 2021 china -19 fire sales on everything, people dropping keys and getting out? here a tab too much 'boon dockery" for me esp. prices. thanks, good info.

DONT BUY CONDO THAILAND .A lease will only be 30 years then they will knock it down you loose every thing ,this is why, after 15 to 20 the price has gone down not up

Hi! Lucas are you coming for Jazz festival in Pattaya? If you do,would like to meet you,and your girlfriend for dinner or late snacks,and drinks love your youtube chanel

[@snickerss2995]

Lucas. I'm a long time subscriber to the channel and I really appreciate everything you have shared along your journey. I'm obviously sad for you in losing V. Life is so unpredictable. I take my hat off to you, for carrying on with your life journey since then, and I still love you and your channel content. But the main reason for me communicating with you is because I originally followed the channel because you shared how you lost 80 pounds/ 36 kilograms. You really transformed your physical life. I am a person who speaks with what I see, and I just want to let you know that In your latest video, that it seems that you have gained weight from being, happy and comfortable in your present situation. I'm not here as your subscriber to tell you how to live your life. Just sharing with you that your original journey losing weight and finding happiness in your lifetime has been inspirational to my self. Start finding time for your beach walking again mate. Love your journey and the content you share with us all. Regards, Rick from Darwin 🙏🙏

12,200 bt per month is closer to 350 US than 1,200. I was getting packed and ready to come down there when you said 1,200 😂😂

[@johnspartan4617]

The condos down there and everywhere are too expensive and most Thais couldn't afford to live there. We can't keep comparing them with money earned in the west when most Thais are lucky to ear 15k bt per month. 25k per month way too expensive you can get way cheaper staying at view talay 6 in Pattaya with beach views.
