Would love to see more condos in Jomtien. Greatly appreciate everything you do to provide us this awesome info for those of us planning to retire there🙏🙏

[@sidecar7714]

Let’s be clear; Thailand is a developing country. This standard of housing is better than many locals enjoy. With the money you save on a place like this, you could pay for a five day membership at the Siam Country Club ( which hosts tour events). Isn’t that the point of the Cheap Charlie lifestyle? Pursuing your life, on limited resources, without financial distress? Seems like a great option to me. Thanks for posting.

[@onedge1176]

You've got it. I'm with you. Siam would be great but heard bad things about their attitude to farang from a golf tour operator. Phoenix would do me.

I'd like to add a 🗨COMMENT that I have had now for a while.📆 These videos💻 are nearly priceless.💲🙂 You walk the selected living quarters with videos showing the arrangements🛋, space🛏, and accoutrements🛀 of each room, especially the kitchenettes. I've noticed that most of the kitchenettes include a 2-burner cook top included in the countertops, a big plus. And, THEN, you add more narrative describing additional facts on what is on the screen at the moment, including the pools.🏊 Plus, those maps are a great addition.👌😀 Btw, your video on the BOLT 🚐taxi service eliminates many problems for first time visitors. Thx. This service would be very costly 💰 without you. Thank you.🙂

Excellent, Good stuff and very interesting, I love this channel. As an experienced Pattaya guy, if you are going there on holiday for a month or two etc then I think that these apartments tend to be a better option that a hotel. Having lived in Pattaya for 2 years previously my plan is to just holiday there now on occasion. *** Warning *** My only concern with apartments and trust me this is a serious concern is the deposit. You may not get it back if it is held by the anonymous owner. I would either pay a 1) Small deposit that you can afford/expect to loose. 2) No deposit but slightly higher rate or 3) The deposit is held by the admin in a safe in the reception. Be careful, most never get the deposit back. They look for tiny or fictitious damage and give a high repair cost to justify keeping it. You will have absolutely zero chance of fighting it.

I think it would be interesting to have a look at the typical apartments that Thai people live in. I assume they do not have swimming pools or fancy gyms. The cost must be much less than 8,000 baht per month. Some budget conscious long term expats could be staying in these as well.

[@roygoad2870]

Checkout the View Talay Condos, all very well maintained and the grounds are bigger with very good security. I’ve stayed in View Talay 2B and 5C and have been ok for me! Some are owned by foreigners with up to date fixtures! I swim in the pool nearly everyday! Average size of the studios are 48sqm and there are one bedrooms that are larger. Price will vary from 8,000 to 12,000 or more depends on the fixture and fittings! These prices could go up once Thailand opens up more, all depends on the market

[@gord8743]

Yep VT2B has a great big pool and most of the expats that live there use the pool daily…used to be a cafe there too. The older condos have bigger rooms unlike the modern shoeboxes they build nowadays!! Plus the annual maintenance fees are much better too.

[@dicky-duck6632]

But both VT2 and 5 are far away from big suppermarket stores like those larger size Big C and Lotus's stores right? From google maps it looks like could take at least 40 mins walk one way to these larger stores, where do you normally do your suppermarket shopping other than those vegetable/fruit/wet markets. Thanks。

[@roygoad2870]

@@dicky-duck6632 There’s a very good Food Mart and a small Tops Daily, also The Pantry, Expat Food and Rompho Market fresh fruit and veg/meat market those are all in walking distance!

[@johntheaccountant5594]

I would be interested to know if these old condos are for sale ( I saw one opposite the 2 bedroom one as you came out seemed to have ForSale on it) and how much the monthly maintenance charge is. It could be worth buying a second hand condo to retire in if you believe you are going to stay there the rest of your life and hedging against inflation and currency exchange. No point buying for renting out as there are too many empty condos in Pattaya and can never see them being filled in the future.

[@johntheaccountant5594]

@Pat B Some very good points you made there. You can see how fast some of the condo complexes fall apart due to lack of maintenance. This is probably due to lack of condo owners paying the service charges. I would not even consider buying anything with more than 7 floors.

[@atlshawn]

I really like the older condos you are visiting (vs the brand new, super tiny places) and the locations seem great as well. My challenge is the ones I have contacted don't have Fiber Internet which is very important to me (working from home - legally). If you happen to run across any that have Fiber Internet if you wouldn't mind mentioning that in your videos that would be great.
