Pattaya Apartments - Are They The Condo Alternative?

[@davidj.7779]

I rented a room on 13/2, nearly opposite to Panowla 3 years ago, for 3 months. This was prior to the Covid shutdowns. A I recall, I paid about B8000/mo The VERY loud music from about a dozen bars was unrelenting every night until 3AM and even after the music stopped, there was almost always yelling and hollering by wandering drunks and drugged up LBs from several of the nearby bars. I can honestly say I never had a decent nights sleep my entire 3 months there. (except for a couple of Buddhist holidays when the bars were closed)

[@stuarthessinger4101]

It was a similar situation for me back in 1995 when I had a 3 month stay in an apartment on Soi Buakhow

[@keithd1219]

I know several people that party all night and drink as soon as they wake up that would love these places. For the rest of us, with some sense of normalcy, it would be horrible

[@johnallright6847]

Used to stay in dianna inn on soi dianna in pool apartments and that was same man music and girls and drunks hollering.... but I loved it and allways knew I was back in pattaya.... didn't go there for peace and quiet

[@Southeastasiantraveler]

Whatever the pluses of this place, it would be almost unlivable with the noise in the evenings

[@keithd1219]

@@Southeastasiantraveler Totally agree but I know people that are up all night and stumbling back to their room at 6 or 7 am. I get those type of party people at every place I've ever stayed in pattaya, whether a hotel or condo airbnb....so for the party all night people its probably a good option. I stay in Jomtien now to avoid any of that wild scene.

[@brettallan7417]

Good idea for when you first arrive. Stay in an apartment for 2 - 3 months while you look for a permanent place to live. Much cheaper than a hotel and takes away the pressure to make a hasty decision. Great video.

[@greyhound1957]

My exact thought, when you have a decent place to sleep and shower for the first period, it gives you al the time of the world looking for something different. And moneywhise: you have little bit more left to spend some more for hanging around in the beginning, celebrating retirement probably wich means freedom at last!!!

You need to be aware that at 8 baht per kilowatt hour, running your air con alot of the time can incur a bill of 1500-3000 baht per month..The first month I stayed in one of these low end rooms my electric bill was 3000 baht..( I was on holiday with a good budget so it was no problem) But an overhead fan is a big plus for this style of room to keep costs down if your on a tight budget..

[@RustyLid]

Thanks for shining a light on these small businesses that are struggling and don't have deep pockets like the larger options.

Jojo is a pretty lady. I might actually go stay in a place like that my first month over there when I retire. Spend almost nothing and let my investments and social security grow one more month. Then the second month, upgrade to something else. All the time keeping an eye on what I really liked or did not like, my actual cash outlay, etc. I know what I can afford, but still, it is good sometimes to go low, before going higher. It may make you appreciate your next choice more. You can walk to many hotels and pay each day something such as 60 bath to use their pool.

I rent a condo in Bangkok, on the 22nd. floor 48sqm. I have a million dollar river view with unobstructed sky line. 1.4 km to a skytrain station. I pay government rate for electricity ( about 500/month) pay for my own internet ( 300/ month) water is less than 100/ month. The building has a lounge floor with swimming pool, fitness, sauna, golf, ping pong, snooker and yoga room. Great "main street" feel to my area. Trees, shops, markets, friendly locals and more restaurants you could eat at in six months. All in for lodging is 8,000. True. Point being, always rent a condo.

Basically these places have different levels of basic accommodation like nothing other than a bed and shower with small wardrobe, plus safe or plus microwave but no kettle or daily clean. I don't go on holiday to have to scrimp and save and make my own bed or sweep and clean so I think something more like D Apartments with kettle, safe and drinks with water, even though more expensive is as low as I want to go and no additional charges for electric and water, so I am glad you showed this video as it shows what I am not missing. That middle place, an OYO group, has many places all over Pattaya, just put OYO rooms pattaya into your address bar for a full list, from £280 for 28 days in normal times, not sure about now. Great information every time Loucous.

[@LibertyLover5103]

Lucas this was a fantastic idea . It is a good alternative to a condo or a Hotel stay.. Good place to start out in so you have time to learn more about where you finally want to stay. Plus that second venue called " OYO" is a small Motel chain here on the Philippines. ( same sign and same little red pillows ). I really like this idea. No need for a kitchen with all the food stalls.

Both are centrally located in Bkk. I only need a small portabet stove, a kettle, a microwave and a rice cooker, those things do not cost much in Thailand and are easy to bring in a Taxi if I change apartments.

Did you know Lucas, when I came to Pattaya 25 years ago , before I moved to Korat, I rented an apartment of 3rd road near Central road and paid 3,000 baht per month. It hasn't changed much has it. And I used to walk everywhere from my apartment.

Go stay in a decent small hotel for 400 baht a night and take a taxi to the beach for a few baht. Living near the beach is not important. Public transportation will get you there in 10 minutes. Go upscale a bit and save yourself a lot of aggravation if you aren't gonna stay more than a couple weeks. If you are willing to pay 500 baht plus for a meal in a decent restaurant and spend 2000 on bar and girl fees, why are you worried about the price of a tiny room in an old building? The first night you can't sleep because of the noise will convince you to change your priorities.

[@gkprivate433]

warning: do NOT take a bathroom that does not have a separated shower. I mean don't take one where like that second apartment the shower water just goes on the floor. The reason is, after you take the shower, the floor is wet al day long and it is icky to go in and use the toilet or the sink with the floor wet. Bring an extra cheap towel or two to mop up the floor after your shower. I don't mind a one use all bathroom, but yech. And of course some of those side streets are awfully noisy until late at night

I can see where these would be ideal for a long holiday. Cheaper than nightly hotel rates. Maybe stay in one a few months when you first move while you look at condos.

[@ostevoostevo1592]

Great video showing really cheap options. I think they’re not really apartments,but furnished rooms. I’d like to see a video on something between these rooms and condos. I imagine there are nice one or two bedroom apartments with a kitchen for around the 6 to 9000 baht per month, maybe in the suburbs or even downtown.Personally I’d much rather live a bit away from the center and sleep at night ! These rooms must be really noisy with all the partying going on downstairs ! Better to live a bit away from all the bars and take taxis !

[@jameskeyes1131]

Covid has made really nice rooms in modern condo buildings very affordable. 8000 baht rooms are now 5500 to 6000. I watch the real estate ads in Pattaya all the time and prices are way down. Desperation. Thousands of rooms empty. The Chinese and Russians invested a lot of money here in the past 5-6 years and they are getting no return. 3 month leases and good deals on longer terms are easy to find. Why stay in an old building on a noisy busy narrow street when you can stay in a decent hotel or condo for only a couple thousand more a month and have better neighbors, a pool and a gym? Not to degrade what this video shows. Some people are willing to stay in a small room for short periods just to come and party on holiday. Up to them.

[@gkprivate433]

I once rented a monthly apartment up off soi Yumai, not far from the now Big C (previsously Carre 4), near the Pink Rattakit. 7,000 baht a month. Water and electric were very little. The unit did not get direct sun as the balcony faced North. For the price, these are the ways to go. No pool but I could walk down the street and pay by the day to use the pool elsewhere.
