Always something useful in Ramze videos! Thanks.

Great video and advice as usual. My only difference of opinion is that I would never pay a year up front; massive risk with minimal reward.

Man, you are cranking out the videos. I love it! Can you do a walking tour of the area where you live (or Pattaya in general)? Please....and thank you.

My place in NA Jomtien would easily be $8000 a month in Santa Monica 😂 I pay $1600 for 116 sm but the building and service is amazing, 40th floor super quiet, unobstructed sea view directly across the street from the beach. I ride by Riviera every day, nice looking but too close to noisy traffic.

Good video, accurate 100%, but the 2 months deposit, I never pay it, I have walked away from a few places to avoid that, most of the time you can negotiate 1 months security deposit

Love your videos, thank you for all the information incredibly helpful. I was curious about your Tesla you showed in your incredible house video…. How are the charging stations there? Any problems trying to charge your car?

At home it’s as simple as plugging into any outlet since it’s all 220 here and I never need more than an overnight. There are a lot of electric chargers all over the main roads in major cities and Bangkok and Pattaya have Tesla Superchargers. It’s all one plug here so it doesn’t matter which you use.

you payed 1 yr in advance and the next day a karaoke-bar opens right under your window - pure coincidence of course ... do what you want with your money but I had - more then once - the experience with (not only) Asians that once money changed hands the willingness to provide service dropped. My M O is to pay as most and as often as possible AFTER I got what I want...

Hi Ramze - what about travel options inside Thai cities? Everyone seems to talk about buying and renting motorbikes, but I'm definitely not looking to risk my life (given the high accident rates there, etc.). I wouldn't trust a motorbike taxi either. How are four-wheel options in the city if you don't own a car? Might be a topic for a video.

There are tons of vehicle ride share options here that are cheap and you can easily buy or rent a car if you choose to drive. I bought a car and drive here. I feel perfectly safe...IN A CAR! :)

Worst advice ever to pay an entire year's rent upfront just to save less than $20 bucks a month. ANYTHING can happen. For god's sake, we JUST came out of a pandemic. Apartment could flood causing mold overgrowth, and that is just if an HVAC unit has a condensation line leak, I'm not talking natural disaster flood. You could get sick, injured, have a family emergency back in your home country. A tsunami could hit. Landlord could die and then who owns your apartment? Neighbors from hell could move in above you, below you, next door to you. Never, ever pay a year of rent up front to save such a small amount unless you don't mind losing several month's rent. These things happens, every day (except the tsunami), so don't think it can't happen to you. The longer you are alive, the more you begin to recognize just how often these things happen in the world. I can't even believe someone is suggesting this. ffs Unbelievable. Not at all surprised a landlord is suggesting this. smh

@RamzeTravels 3 ай бұрын

I saved $300 a month doing this. Cost vs risk of those things happening favor savings. I also have a very large and reputable agency in the middle of us. The sky isn’t always falling. 🤣

@Ramzetravels just got to the part of the video where you mentioned renting a house because of the pet policy. Actually we're looking to buy but we have a small shorkie & don't know where exactly to look for homes. Are there any neighborhoods or developments that you know of in the East Pattaya that's nicely developed and conveniently located close to shopping, cafes, bars, restaurants etc.?
