Comparing 9 Condos in Pattaya, Thailand! - Condo Tour Pratumank

You get a lot more for your money in the older condos! Some of those prices were crazy! I’ve just come back from Kuala Lumpur, can get amazing deals, better quality condos and cheaper than Thailand imo!

Hi Pete! 2 things , #1 - A friend and I will be in Pattaya Nov 20 thru Nov 26 and I'd love to meet ya ! #2 - One thing that flipped like a switch for me on the condos in Thailand ...Normally in my mind, the condo / apartment is your 'house' and you kinda want to do all of your things in your own house. But in Thailand, with all the condo videos I've watched, I've switched to the thought process that the whole condo building is the house, with all of the typically (at least in a luxery condo) awesome amenities and really nice public spaces I think I will need to treat the actual condo as just my "bedroom" / private area nad the rest of the condo is the same as public space in an apartment where you just have a LOT more room mates. So for your AD&D table keep that in mind that maybe the table exists in a really nice public area in your condo building :)

Is what you're calling the Riviera Pratumank really called the Riviera Malibu? The location seems right.

Pratumnak is the best part of Pattaya in my opinion.

Thank you for the video. Great content. I am new to your channel. Hope you don't mind a question: 1) why that area? 2) how far are you from Muscle Factory gym? Thank you for your time and consideration.

Have spent a fair bit of time identifying someplace I would like to live from early next year.
When I return having lived in Cosy Beach at Elegance since November last year. Floor 4.
72sqm @ 27K. Lovely peaceful place. Expensive, but we have Been blissfully happy there.
You will certainly get more for your money in Soi 3, 4 or 6. Soi 5 is expensive and availability is sparse. Personally, I’d avoid Soi 7 Pratumnak. Highly recommend, Prestige Properties as an agent. Ask for Autumn, lovely professional lady. Every place has it’s pro’s and con’s, for sure there’s a big element of luck involved with availability. Always rent directly from the building owner if you can, which makes a walk in off the street preferable. But that involves a lot of leg work I know. Things get fixed quicker, and a nicer unit may become available which you can swap into a minimal cost.

Hi Pete, great content. Phratumnak is expensive! But it has a lot to offer! I hope you guys find what you're looking for. I would tell you to consider looking further south. For larger spaces, and you probably already know this, you will want to look in the older buildings.

My requirements are: No bugs, separate bedroom, clean, internet, big TV. Just rented one up on PK 2, B14K. Not as fancy as the ones you are looking for but it meets my needs. I'll try it for 1 month. If I don't like it I'll move on. 😊

Keep looking. No rush 🤘😘

any plans on filming some dnd. i never got into it but would love to see how it works

How do you find DnD players in Thailand?

50k is insane.

I would absolutely never pay those prices to live in those condos.

I would absolutely move out of that area. Problem is people are overpaying for stuff,

Yes rental prices seem to keep going up in newer condos. Even Unixx where I live some of my friends are leaving as "owners" keep raising rates. As the one guy said, try and talk them down. Another idea is to have your girlfriend look at Thai owned condos advertised online. May be cheaper than from an agent. Just an idea, not my forte. Peace and Love Y'all

Hey Pete! Awesome seeing some D&D action in Pattaya. How is the gaming scene there? Is it easy finding games? I'm looking for a retirement destination and want to keep up my favorite hobby.

Sky Residences is hard to beat ..I lived there for a few years and really enjoyed my time there

Go with what you can afford and also no place is perfect so be flexible with compromise , certain things you can add and replace as well as you can make a deal by saying your willing to do certain things if they lower the price , everything can be negotiated.

Pratumnak used to be great but over the past few years has got overrun pushing prices up to a ridiculous level . Jomtien is way cheaper with some great condos .

Keep looking!

Anyone paying more than 12k a month on a longterm contract has more money than sense.
Most of the places you have shown are crazily overpriced

Last one for 26k was best

For me, Pratumnak Hill / Wongamat is not ideal. I lived there in the Andromeda Condo at Kasetsin 11 and for me it is too far from the city center.
Besides, I'm such a shit bunny. I once had a Thai driving license during the pandemic when the streets were still empty, but currently I don't want to drive a motorcycle in Pattaya and there is no public transport in Pratumnak, you need a scooter or a car there. Especially when it rains you can hardly get a Bolt/Grab.
But I liked the Sky Residence best, with a view of the Bali Hai ruins but whatever.
Lower floors are still okay for me, but it shouldn't be a ground floor. I like to open the windows and have a draft and then any thief could get in.
For me it would have to be a condo along the Bahtbus routes.
I don't play AD&D, but I always prefer a condo with a large table because I always have a laptop with me + separate keyboard, sometimes a mobile second screen. You just need some space and good chairs.
And the price of 50k baht for a 2BR condo is way over the top. But okay, maybe they're just used to rich Russians for whom tipping is :)
I'd rather pay a little more, live in the city center and save the rent for the scooter or taxi costs. But my condo, for example, is very loud, I think it's even louder than the last two condos, but I can sleep anywhere and if noises bother me, I put on headphones to sleep or I play "white noise". For example, it helps me to sleep on the plane.

wow, you weren't exaggerating about those prices. I know you generally don't do these types of videos but thanks for the heads up about Pratumank.

Some of those prices are crazy.I have 100sqm right on Jomtien Beach in prime location with a view from Bang Saray to Koh Larn for 18k, ok no washing machine though

Been awhile since I've seen one of your videos. How do you feel about the new visa laws???? Has it affected you in any way?

The Cloud seems really nice,try that

Great video nice and concise. Brings up a lots of points you need to remember when picking a condo, definitely be saving it for later. I've never been to Pratumnak good to make the time to see it. I always get distracted when I'm in Pattaya.

Definitely can find lower cost if expand area a little

You'll never find anything cause you look for faults in everything

thanks 🙏 I'm a new subscriber. I know that area.

Do you have a contact for the Rivieria Pratmunak?

Interested of coming to Pattaya to live, have to be in states 4 months a year so I probably wouldn't buy a car. What area would you recommend for a person that has to walk or take baht bus or bolt. Want to be in an area where there are people and businesses.

Wow, that last condo was stunning!

Over priced expat area, not much there but a nice beach section. Lots of Russians, Chinese ect. Kind of remote and boring .

I like that area. Can’t wait to check it out

I like the last one. I don’t mind noise.

Can you give a link to the last one only jomtien is coming up in my search

Your other place with the ocean view in the living room and the bedroom was so nice.

Damn you weren't kidding very expensive.

Rents way too high and space is too constrained. Better to stay in America or the Philippines. The other problem is the total cost for an immigrant visa. Add it all up and way too expensive.

Does anyone else here think Chris from Family Guy tv show when you hear this guys voice??

i would never live on cozy beach its a nightmare at times getting in and out of the place with traffic

The last room was really nice

Thanks Pete another great video can't wait for the other parts! Are you going to do a video for the Darkside by chance? Do you happen to have any information on pet friendly places im Pattaya? Any information is always greatly appreciated!

great video, thanks.

Why don't you look for a villa.
