160 sq meters for a 1 bedroom is unreal. $1,600 for that is outstanding if compared to US prices. I was skeptical at the beginning but now I’m floored. I’m retired with SS and pension and could afford that. Trust me I’m not rich. I would consider it even at 75,000 bath per month. Mostly because I don’t waste money on BMW’s and Mercedes.

I was just in Pattaya for two nights - can recommend Dusit Thani hotel if you're only staying a few days, it has prime position on the beach. We walked from the hotel all the way to Walking St , for a walk up and down . Having watched many youtuber Pattaya vids, the size and scale of Beach Rd commercial zone was an eye opener that doesn't seem to come across in vids. I 'm late 50s, I'm left with the impression I definitely want to spend more time there in future years.

One drawback with only 25 residents (instead of the 100 max capacity) is that whenever there is a condo special assessment , i.e., storm damage repair, you have fewer people kicking in to share the cost. That being said, I doubt these wealthy residents have to worry about paying their share.

Interesting condo, a ton of space although odd distribution and a lot of awkward spaces IMO. He could use an interior designer, I think it would enhance quality of life a lot, since it came unfurnished and since there's a lot of space and some nooks and crannies. I'm sure a good designer could work with his taste and his hobbies like bikes and cars and make a space that works for him.

He's not paying that much more than I paid for my last unfurnished apartment in the Las Vegas area - in a 25+ year old building w/dated everything - maybe 70 sq mtrs - and definitely not on any body of water. So as much as this place here might sound 'expensive,' it really is only in Thailand terms. In the US, I estimate that this is a $3,000-5,000/month rental in any decent metro area, $5000+ in a 'nicer' area. So this is still a deal if it fits your personal budget imho.

That's one expensive Condo to rent at Western prices. You get what you pay for in Pattaya. Most people can't afford those prices. You have to be wealthy to pay that price. Why can't he admit truthfully the actual cost he is paying? That's why we are looking in to learn from you. It kind of defeats making the video about Condo rentals! I suspect he is paying 70,000THB a month. A smaller, normal 48 sq meter seafront Condo in that area costs about 30,000 to 44,0000 THB a month. This condo is 3 times a normal small one. Some people are paying Western prices now and being conned. Good luck to him. It's certainly a beautiful Condo. Buying this kind of Condo will cost you around 8 million THB I expect.

Where in the “west” are you getting that much space with an ocean view and direct beach access for less than $1600 a month? Not happening.

@@shinobibusiness I looked at one in Miami that was about double the square feet/meters with 2 levels, ocean side sea view for $250k USD to buy but the HOA on it was $2500 USD per month & property tax was like $1.2k USD per year. I looked up the maintenance fee on condos at this place & it's 60TBH per square meter which is $278.40 USD per month for this condo if its 160 square meters & you own it. So the Miami one was kind of on the cheap side to buy but the $2500 HOA per month + $1.2k per year property tax makes it much more expensive to own & live in.
