Renting CHEAP HOUSES in THAILAND

HOW to RENT a CHEAP HOUSE in THAILAND!?
Lele and I hit the streets to hunt for a rental property to move to in Jomtien, Pattaya Thailand, once we've vacated our current house!
Today we secured one of the rental properties shown in this video. Can you guess which one!? In close proximity to Jomtien Beach and also Pattaya Beach! If you watch to the end of the video you'll see an update on the Pool Villa renovations which will now be ready for rental for SONGKRAN! Send us an email if you're interested in a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom Pool Villa 10 minutes drive inland from Jomtien Beach, Pattaya Thailand.

The neighbor likes it nice and quiet, he doesn’t want any parties so when he sees the realtor showing the house to a younger couple he makes sure he goes over and points out that there’s no kitchen and any other flaws he can think of,…lol

[@GoneAdrift]

Hahaha fully!!!!!

[@NeilHarrison-xg2vh]

Just stumbled across your channel which is a bummer cause now I am going to have to binge watch everything..thanks mate.....lol

[@GoneAdrift]

Love to hear that mate!!!!

[@calky360]

There is a lot of reasons to rent a house/townhouse vs a condo. For starters, you probably get triple the square meterage for the same price.

[@rastaph]

It looks like Lele's house is almost ready to rent. It looks good. The 2nd house you looked at is probably the better place to rent, even if it is a little more expensive.

[@goodvibespattaya2423]

Great video Sammy, those houses are a really good option rather than a condo 👍

[@jeffholcomb]

I look forward to running into y'all during Songkran or after! I am less than 2 weeks away from being in the land of smiles!!!

[@MattSmith-qn9cv]

Lele house renovation is moving forward rapidly, well done, I can definitely see number 2 house being picked, happy wife, happy life

[@irabankston3390]

Sam pool villa looking real nice😊 Maybe u can do quick video on walking distance around area/grab/restaurants/nightlife/etc. Thanks

[@GoneAdrift]

Great idea!! Will do!!!

[@woodenmonster]

both properties looks nice, I like the 2nd one more.

[@francandsarah]

Dope video Sam and Lele! Thanks for showing the eskimo dollar conversion too, been feeling pretty neglected by other youtubers not including the conversion in their videos. Best of luck and can't wait for songkran! You've reminded us to pick up a waterproof lanyard (thingy) for it! Thanks again!

[@GoneAdrift]

Hehehe.. Thingy!!!!

[@GoneAdrift]

Lazada!

[@indianterry8176]

Great video Sam I will be in Pattaya for some of songkran.. hope to see you

[@lordrossmacca]

Very interesting to see what is available. Good luck choosing. And hope you can rent the pool villa ok

[@steveheidelberg]

Great video. I really like the exposure you give that area. I hit up Pattaya earlier this year and it wasn't for me, but your videos are making me reconsider the surrounding areas more for next time. Anyhow, hope the new rental is great! Good videos....

[@GoneAdrift]

Thanks man

[@paulandrews4767]

nice vid mate. your yt skills and content are getting good

[@GoneAdrift]

🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@FollowingtheJourneyLifeStyle]

Great Info

[@pat_thai]

Best of luck for the rental Sammy & Lile ! ❤

[@GoneAdrift]

Thank you Mr Pat!

[@RickThaisLandofsmiles]

Following this as we will be looking to get out of the condo and finding a house near Jomtien soon, fingers crossed

[@paulv5233]

Hi Sam & Lovely LeLe, there is some great houses with pool in Bang Saray fairly cheap, but I can see we’re you coming from. I will coming back to Thailand early after my unfortunate return home due my beloved sister passing away also my self getting very sick ended up in hospital for 10 days. Hope to catch up with both of you for lunch/dinner. Keep up the great work Cheers Irish Paul

[@marcp108]

Not sure which one you picked. Totally get the idea of a home over a condo. The renovations are coming along well. Yes I’ll be in Hua hin for songkran but will try to avoid the festivities - I don’t really like getting water sprayed in my face.

[@nongen1234]

I am 66 and live in Hua Hin, really fun to see a little bit from Pattaya and what you and your girlfriend are up to. I go to Pattaya 2-3 times per year for tennis tournament at Royal cliff, I never find anything more then where we stay and the tennis courts but maybe I will find more things to do because of you're channel Good luck with everything

[@GoneAdrift]

That’s so lovely to hear my man!

[@X-cript]

just wondering, why remove the tiles when they're still in good condition and nice.

[@GoneAdrift]

Ahh yes I didn’t explain this! So a large portion of the indoor tiles were cracked!! And I mean smasheddddd. Surprise surprise, they weren’t laid right upon initial build and they’d moved and warped. Laid properly this time around :)

[@robertfinlay6635]

Love your vids guys. You're bang on about good insulation. Patio/front of the house should face north for shade all day. Also be sure the air conditioning units are inverter, not single speed. Inverter units, provided they are sized properly for the space give you a constant temperature/set temperature. Single speed units cost a fortune to run, because they cut in and out. Which also gives you uneven space temperature. Condos win in that department as it costs very little to live in comfort as sun exposure is limited to one external wall if you're condo faces north

[@robertfinlay6635]

Meant to say south at the end there. Oops

[@Skenners]

amazing. thats all there is to it.

[@tonyh6846]

Cheers mate 🙂

[@simonfarrow1585]

Like in all of Asia the women do more than their fair share of heavy lifting. Wheel-barrowing concrete, jack-hammering tiles, cutting metal. Respect.

[@GoneAdrift]

She works twice as hard and fast as the men!!

[@andrewmuzzall1635]

I travel a lot so a condo makes sense for me. What ever fits your lifestyle

[@theresafry3514]

Luv u LeLe and Sam 😊

[@keepitrollin3977]

Hi guys.2nd house .eventually empty lot beside that house someone going to buy & build a home noisy. 1st house better.the pool villa looks great.good luck.keep it rollin

[@plasticcandelabra7486]

Give Lele a greenhouse!

[@SoldierTrading]

heading over soon, will be wanting 1 year lease on a condo, your videos are helping mate, if you know anyone who needs a tenant long term for around 10k baht monthly let me know, thanks and great videos

[@GoneAdrift]

Check out - View Talay 1 in Jomtien - View Talay 2 - anything in Soi6, Pratamnak. GoodVibesPattaya does amazing in depth condo reviews around town - look him up too!!

[@ivanomen]

awww man if i wasnt leaving pattaya soon i would take you up on the offer brother

[@freejay3]

Was there last year for songkran in Pattaya .. literally had a blast! Bought the biggest most powerful water gun i could find ...lol Cant make it this year :(

[@frankd2083]

Why not look at some of the older condo buildings. Large in size and thick concrete block walls. I just relocated from a house to an older condo “Pattaya Tai Center Condo”. 12,000 a month. Fully renovated,52 sq M. Ocean view, European style kitchen (oven), hot water in all faucets, pillow top mattress, smart Tv, my 1st electric bill 768 baht, water 160 baht, swimming pool, gym, currently remodeling a new sauna, security. And basically never need to drive my car cuz of the location. I agree the newer 30 sq M condo’s are not worth it. But you can find some gems in the older buildings.

[@GoneAdrift]

Oh mate - that sounds fantasticccccc!!!! Jealous!

[@tobyprice1092]

Your missus speaking pure Isaan to the lady at the second house. Made me laugh because that's the same as my wife.

[@Grimreapervlogs]

Sure will be in town for songkran 😁 actually arrive in BKK next Monday

[@GoneAdrift]

Yewwwwww 🎉🎉🎉 See you soon bros

[@Grimreapervlogs]

@@GoneAdrift looking forward to it brother

[@gum6y1]

Good luck.

[@Bngn_Snkrs]

Gday from down under!

[@scottgeen3062]

Hi can you film bang saray for condo thank you from Scott new Zealand

[@simonyee5524]

For a nomad I think paying 15000 fully furnished is better than 12000 unfurnished. Unless you've got the furnitures fridge tv etc. it's green but U can ask the owner to repaint it if U rent for a year😂. How much is Lily's villa going for a month rental? Is electricity govt rate ? As a foreigner I would prefer fully furnished modern style or mix. The things we can do without I hope we can ask the owner to move it out. Good luck house hunting Sam and Lily.

[@brucedavis6244]

I'll be there on April27

[@nongen1234]

This month 3800 bath for electrical We only use aircondition in the night 2000 bath sounds very cheap

[@GoneAdrift]

I feel that! Back at View Talay I was paying 3800-4000baht a month for a small studio (old aircon) 😳😳🤦🏼‍♂️

[@Darryl_Smith]

Much better than a condo and the exact thing I will be looking out for when I arrive in May. It would be good to catch up with you again at some stage. This time I am there for good. Not a couple of weeks....so a house will be magic. Do you use an agent or go walk about?

[@GoneAdrift]

Tried walkabout but it didn’t bear fruit this time. Lele used Facebook marketplace and found all these listings I couldn’t find in English! Ended up going through an agent via the ad

[@Darryl_Smith]

Magic - thanks mate@@GoneAdrift

[@KimWright-wq8cu]

WHY PULL UP DESCENT FLOOR TILES???🤷‍♀️😊

[@GoneAdrift]

Ahh yes I didn’t explain this! So a large portion of the indoor tiles were cracked!! And I mean smasheddddd. Surprise surprise, they weren’t laid right upon initial build and they’d moved and warped. Laid properly this time around :)

[@KimWright-wq8cu]

@@GoneAdrift cheers , thanku for explaining 🍻

[@roadsofjapan6009]

Sam you need to get on Line again and ask Adam for my contact 😂 I’m awaiting the condos pro and cons but let’s be honest tiny verse big make a massive difference in how you feel and that if your there a lot it makes sense to have a larger places especially as you can host people there too, it’s like double up income really…

[@Alp3124]

One pro I got moving in to a condo was no more mozzies 😂

[@snu04aml]

How would I contact you about the taxi service? BKK --> Patts late April and return leg late May? Is your partner the driver, or you just have a deal with a taxi company?

[@GoneAdrift]

Lele & I have been collecting friends and long time subscribers like yourself for a small fee! I reckon it makes a difference after a 10 hour plane trip 😊 Email me ok? [e-mail]

[@peterward9755]

The rebar on the concrete should of been smaller square's more rebar it will crack

[@GoneAdrift]

1000% But the finish is on par with the price tag 🤣

[@malcolmlewis4278]

Yes unfortunately

[@echoesofnaught576]

👍👍

[@GoneAdrift]

Thanks mate!

[@Rawa1906]

Hi Sam can you tell me the exact location of Lillys house - maybe I am interested

[@GoneAdrift]

Huay Yai!

[@lmapicas3279]

What size Tinny can you fit in the pool mate ?

[@GoneAdrift]

Bahahaha Powerfish says 30 foot

[@lmapicas3279]

Yah gotta get a bigger pool mate@@GoneAdrift

[@terrycuddy713]

Totally agree with renting a house rather than a condo. If your in a condo you may as well be in a budgie cage 😂

[@GoneAdrift]

Haha I love that!!!

[@darrenelliott9531]

Fuck I hope you are still not on drug for your head because you look so happy now different world and it like a happy world well done

[@GoneAdrift]

Cheers homie, doing aight!

[@liveandlearnwithmike]

How are you finding these places? I'm need to look myself...

[@GoneAdrift]

Facebook Marketplace. But a lot were in thai only so don’t seem to pop up in my searches. Lee found this one

[@liveandlearnwithmike]

@@GoneAdrift thank you Sam

[@peterward9755]

Why don't you want to change location only Pattaya

[@GoneAdrift]

It’s cheaper here. Ideally I’d choose Bangkok but not just yet

[@iain_nz.]

always hate nosey neighbours ! the 2nd one looks nicer.

[@patrickdimaggio]

My bro... I will be in Pattaya during Songkran 🙌 We could all have a beer and celebrate 🤙 But already have a condo in Pratumnak beach 😎😋 Great video as always! 🙌

Your rates are way off. 1 english pound is 44 bhat. Your conversion is coming as 55+ bhat

[@GoneAdrift]

I googled the conversion! I want my money back Google! Haha Sorry mate!

[@calvinturner2395]

Can you imagine sam if you weren’t in a relationship? Do you think you would of had to go back to Australia?

[@GoneAdrift]

Without Lele cracking the whip every day - quite possibly bro!!!

You'll get spiders the size of kangaroo's living in there.

[@owencorrigan9033]

Ahhh if I knew you were involved with renting villas, I was looking to rent in June for a month, maybe 6 weeks but couldn't seem to find anything,. I'm flying from Ireland, booked a condo would've loved a villa.

Go for it young fella …. Much better with a good house villa..cheers from kangaroo 🦘 land
