CHEAP Hotels VS Cheap Condos in PATTAYA
Cheap Hotels in Pattaya VS Cheap Condos in Pattaya - a Guided Tour (Part1)
In this video, I took a deep dive into the world of budget accommodations in Pattaya, Thailand, specifically comparing cheap hotels and affordable condominiums. My journey led me to the vibrant Jomtien area, known for its beautiful beaches and lively atmosphere.
I started by exploring several cheap hotels in Pattaya. Each place offered a unique vibe, from cozy guesthouses to more traditional hotel setups. I was pleasantly surprised by the value these hotels provided, considering their proximity to the stunning Jomtien Beach. I shared my experiences regarding the amenities, cleanliness, and overall comfort of each hotel. For anyone looking for a simple stay without breaking the bank, these options were definitely appealing.
Next, I shifted my focus to affordable condominiums in Pattaya. Renting a condo was a different experience altogether. I found several great options in Jomtien that offered spacious living areas, kitchen facilities, and a more home-like feel. I appreciated the extra space and the ability to prepare my meals, which made my stay feel more comfortable. Plus, being in Jomtien allowed me to immerse myself in the local culture, from markets to street food.
Throughout the video, I compared the pros and cons of each accommodation type. I found that while cheap hotels provided convenience and quick access to tourist spots, the condos offered more space and flexibility. I reflected on whether the amenities at the hotels justified the price or if the extra room and comfort of the condos were worth the slight increase in cost.
I also highlighted my adventures in Jomtien itself. I enjoyed leisurely strolls along the beach, indulged in delicious local cuisine, and explored the vibrant markets. Jomtien had so much to offer, making it an ideal base for my Pattaya experience, regardless of where I chose to stay.
So, if you’re considering a trip to Pattaya and are torn between cheap hotels and affordable condos, this video is packed with insights from my journey. I hope my experiences helped you make an informed decision about where to stay in beautiful Jomtien. Don’t forget to like and subscribe for more travel content!

    Let's talk internet. I saw a router at the entrance in the first condo. What is it? Fiber? What's the speed? Is it just wifi or cabled connection? It'd be cool if you could give some info about the internet. Some condos are interesting, but, if internet is not fast (fiber) and reliable, it's useless for most who maybe need it for work. I'm planning to move but it's difficult to have some real info about the internet. I just found out that many fiber providers ask you for a minimum 2y contract. So, not possible for people with tourist visa who maybe need to change condo, leave for a while, border runs and so on... bloody visas!!! Well, if you can tell more about the internet you can have in these condos it'd be nice, thanks.

    If I were to ex pat it in Pattaya, I would be looking for a pool villa on either the dark side or Jomptien side. Budget in the 30,000 to 45,000 baht range on a 1 year lease. You don't have to go out of your way, but if you do more housing options that would be one idea.
