Pattaya Thailand Condos, Jomtien Beach 2023

Pattaya Beach front condos at Jomtien Beach. A short scooter ride south of Pattaya Beach and north of Na Jomtien Beach. I visit many condos along the beach. These were my favorite picks of the bunch for different reasons. Low cost to high-end luxury. There is a condo for everybody in this area of Pattaya.

Great video. One thing I can recommend that so many people ask other Thailand youtubers to do, but never gets done is, if/when possible, if you can obtain a wifi password and test the internet speed in the building that would be great. This may be crucial to some people that are looking to move to the area that may work remotely. Just an idea, otherwise great video.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thanks! 😃

[@guymandudely324]

Don't EVER rent on the top floor - the sun beating down on the roof will make it impossible to have a comfortable room even with the air-con running. Check the mattress ... those 'extra firm' mattresses are usually hard foam core mattresses with vinyl covers, and they will make you sweat all night and NOT support your back in any way. If you pull back a sheet and feel a vinyl covered mattress, head for the exit door. Expect 3000 baht MINIMUM electric bill so you can sleep at night in your apartment, so consider that in your budget and add that to your base rent automatically. Water is generally cheap, a fixed rate minimum of 300 baht or so per month.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Good info.

[@gzubeck3]

What you really need is a segment of properties without ocean views. Maybe half that price in other locals.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I posted a video with such properties in the past. I need to make an updated one. Thanks for the advice. 👊🏼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH2QgaSkpLehosU

[@stevenschrift2761]

It always amazes me that kitchens in thailand are so small and inefficient believe me when you live in a condo for more than a month it gets real old if your eating out thai food at small resturaunts every day. Why they don't have large fridgerators with decent freezers is also a challenge. I requested that they put in an oven before I rented my condo in Thailand and the owner obliged by getting my unit an oven.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

That's nice the owner added that. For me, cooking in these kitchens is similar to cooking in my RV in the US.

I live at Lumpini , good job

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thank you. 🙏🏼 Lumpini, in Bangkok? How much is the condo rent compared to Pattaya? That's one of the better areas to live in, correct?

[@amingaz]

I meant Lumpini Jomtien . I bought here building A on the beach 6 months ago and remodelled it to my liking . The common fee is very reasonable. I did own a 2 bedroom Lumpini place in Thapra BKK for 17 years which i sold this year . Excellent administration . If you are going to rent in Jomtien and have a family then its the ideal condo all round with many facilities , head straight to the admin office situated in B building and ask for Jack . To my North are the 2 condos in the video such as Cetus and they offer the same i am sure from what i see walking up the promenade . The real cost of electricity is 5 Baht KW which is what i pay and if you ask for the real bill from PEA it shows the details such as meter reading before and after so i dont understand how would be tenants are accepting to sign contracts with these exorbitant conditions outlined in the video . @@JakeSnowLiveSimple

i'll echo the other comments that you have a great and helpful format for these videos. one thing i would add is maybe keep the prices up in smaller print in the top right for the whole clip. helps people who want to skip through quickly and just see a few seconds of each and the prices.

[@johnmayerislovee]

@Jake Snow - Thanks for the stream. How willing are the better condo complexes willing to negotiate on prices? Thxs !

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

You're welcome. It depends on how many units are vacant in a complex. A higher vacancy rate makes it easier to negotiate a better deal. When I first walk into a complex, I always ask about the vacancy rate to get an idea of how much leverage I have, if any.

I’ve always wanted to go to Thailand. My wife just recently passed away and I’m thinking of going there probably next year for a mental health break I’m looking for a place like the Cetus with a terrace and an ocean view. But I can only stay for a month at the most. What would you recommend?

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Sorry, you had to go through that. 🙏🏼 I have found Thailand to be an excellent place to get away, clear the mind, self-reflect, and find happiness. For a one-month stay in Thailand, I'd recommend staying at a regular or boutique hotel. I have found the condo complexes will only do six months or more. I personally prefer owner-operator boutique hotels if I'm staying in a location for one month. They usually have the best prices and best customer service, and the owners are happy to share very helpful information about the area.

[@sensei1x]

@@JakeSnowLiveSimple I appreciate you responding. But what exactly is a boutique hotel? I’m not familiar with that term.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Small hotels, usually 20 rooms or less. Operated by the owner and, many times, the family. These are the hotels I look for when traveling internationally. Some of these hotels will have "boutique" in their name, but many don't. The description and reviews make it easy to figure out if the hotel is a small boutique hotel.

[@arizonafarang4034]

Have you come across any condos without security at the front door? It would be nice to bring over company without any fuss.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Yes, the less expensive condos sometimes don't have front counter security. The places listed as "Apartments" don't usually have a front desk and function like an Apartment in the US.

$29 USD more per month for a washing machine. Would it be cheaper to pay for laundry service to wash your clothes?

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

It is cheaper to pay for laundry service. However, I enjoy the convenience and time-saving of having a washing machine. It usually costs me ฿150 ($4.36) to pay for laundry service. If I go to a Wash Express g.co/kgs/nKdFTK, I usually spend ฿100 ($2.91). I wash clothes 4x/month, ฿400 ($11.63) - ฿600 ($17.44) /month.

[@b4bmm]

Is there a standard baht/unit for elec in the country. I see so many different rates. 4-5 seems to be the cheapest but its often 8 baht.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

The government rate is ฿4 - ฿5/unit and is usually paid directly to the Utility company/gov. If the condo sets a rate higher than this, it must be paid to the condo complex. 4 -5 baht tells you the condo is not padding your electric bill. 👌🏼

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

😂 Smelly places are about equal to what I find in America. If a place smells bad it doesn't make it into my videos. If it smells unusually good it gets a special mention. Smell can make or break a deal for me.

[@joe.combatsports]

Well yes, nobody wants to live in a place that smells bad, though I bet you’d get anosmic to it over time 😅 Thanks, Jake.

[@jakc4544]

Where do you usually find these condos? Do you just find on google and ask the front desk if they have any available?

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I use Google Maps to find a Condo complex in the area I'm most interested in. From there I ride or walk around that same area to check out other condos. I usually walk in and ask about availability, I only call if it's required. I like to see the condo complex at least from the outside before I inquire further.

Water: Unit = 1,000 liters. Electricity: Unit = 1 Kilowatt-hour To save space on my screen in newer videos, I use KL in place of 1,000L.

Despite very good quality the prices are still very reasonable. I feel that any other city will be either more expensive or less quality standards. Why is that? Will those prices stay or will they go up? Somehow I feel that they could easily raise the prices and still finding enough demand of foreigners that cannot really buy condos without risk.

There is good availability in the area. I have no idea if the prices will go up. It's so easy to quickly travel throughout Pattaya by scooter.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Good to know; I'll go check those out. Thanks!

[@rennes2U]

I would choose the 1 bedroom for 1 baht 🤪

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Right, lol

[@robertculbreth694]

Like lipstick on a pig, it can look good on the surface, but I just gotta wonder about the building material quality. We remember the S. Beach Miami condo with the concrete deteriorating!

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I've noticed building quality in every developing country I've been in is never as good as US quality standards.

[@jeffreycastardi8660]

Finally, after all the videos, I watched someone has the brain to put up USA prices. It makes life easier when you’re looking to move there.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Lol, seemed like a common sense good idea. I'm happy you liked it. 👊🏼

[@jonashh90]

Did you get a buying price for the last big condo ?

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Unfortunately, I didn't get the buy price for that one.

[@ldiablo9921]

It's amazing that the Copacabana is breaking Thai law by charging 7 baht per unit and making you pay to the Juristic office.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Many condos I've been in are charging more than the government rate.

[@mikejohnson2638]

@@JakeSnowLiveSimple Thanks bro, really appreciate it.

[@nikosniko7092]

That’s a steal 233$ insane I just spent that at Costco 🤦‍♂️

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I'm reminded how affordable living costs are in Thailand every time I return to the US for business.

[@morgunz5365]

Bro, 27k per month with a 52k deposit could have the title to a condo with maybe not those veiws or that new of a building but you could have full ownership of you own condo. 3 years of renting would be 1.1 mill. Could get a decent condo for that.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

That's true. I'd set my budget at ฿3.5M for a condo purchase in Pattaya, but I prefer newer construction and a great location if I buy. Renting, I'm all over the place.

[@morgunz5365]

@JakeSnowLiveSimple yeah, that's a solid budget right there. Fully agree. Can get something really nice around pattaya for that.

[@DRichards705]

Wow. Some of those places are so cheap, and look pretty damn nice. In the nearest city near me in Canada, I'd be paying even more than most of those for a single bedroom that would be crappier and have a much worse view and no beach worth mentioning. In a few more years perhaps... Very tempting ha ha.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Low cost of living, delicious food, happy people, and warm/hot weather. It's easy to be happy in Thailand.

[@herranton]

That last building, The Copacabana, has some really cool units, although he didn't show them in this video. They are an 80 sq meter 1 bedroom. (Yes, thats right, 80). They have a giant balcony with a private pool. I mean, an *actual pool* _in your unit,_ on your balcony. Afaik, none are for rent right now, but a few are for sale. The cheapest one is about 12-13 million baht. Yes, it's a lot of money. And obviously, there are the issues with buying in Thailand. However, I think that the uniqueness of these units might eclipse that. Keep in mind, just like any property in Thailand, it is not an investment. Thai property for foreigners is more like gambling. You don't spend any more than you're willing to lose. _And lose you probably will._ But if you have the money to blow (and I mean blow), it's a really cool unit.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Good information. Thank you for sharing. 🙏

[@Saidakine]

I just came back . They have 2 rentals there now. Both 1 bedroom. One of them was 585 a month, I think that was the 29 meter. Still very nice with a good view.

[@herranton]

@@Saidakine I think there are like 30 or 40 units for rent in the building. But none of them are for the unit with the pool. Those will start at _at least_ $1300 a month when/if they come up for rent.

[@DrFuzzyDuck]

I haven't stayed in one of the pool ones, but I have stayed in one with a private balcony jacuzzi in this building. I don't think you really need a private pool. I didn't see anyone using theirs.

[@herranton]

@@DrFuzzyDuck The private pools are going to get used a lot more once the sun goes down, if you get what I'm sayin'. And the Jacuzzi unfortunately only fits two. The pool can fit a few more. Yeah. If I ever get one of those units, you're probably _not_ gunna wanna swim in it. If it were in pretty much any other city it's wouldn'take sense, but in Pattaya, it makes perfect sense.
