Hey Mate, when I was there late February you mentioned you where moving. Looks like you found a great place. Enjoy and keep living the dream. Dying to get back there but in Australia we have travel restrictions. Could you please tell me how much approximately a taxi or the uber equivalent is from Chon Buri to Central festival. Thanks :)
Laugh out loud.. If it's out there you will find it.. Q. Is it worth an extra $1 a day..lol ● YES! ● if I understand it right this joint is $230 a month.. which is fantastic value ..anywhere in Asia.

15 years ago I was $468’000 in debt living in America sold our house and have began living in a motorhome. Most people would have filed for bankruptcy we worked hard made major sacrifices and about a year and a half ago we were debt free. In SoCal it still was costing us $100 a day to survive. We built a house in Thailand at a cost of $100k and moved in one month ago. Have yet to figure out out monthly expenses but I’m going to guess about $100 brother I think we dodged a bullet and got out of there just in time.
Have been married to my lovely Thai wife for 20 years . She must have been crazy to marry me most Thai girls marry for money and to put up with the sacrifices we made I’m a lucky guy and know how blessed I am. She helped me start a successful business that we were able to sell For a nice profit just in time I might add.
@@samueltownsend1569 Glad to here a successful story in life. I will be 61 next month. I've lost everything a few times in life. I'm currently homeless and may lose my job soon because of this virus. I'm just trying to save a little till I get to 65. Then maybe move to Thailand and live off ss. I certainly cant live on ss in America. I've been to Thailand 3x and love the thai people and food and culture. I feel so free from everything over there. Maybe someday.
Your almost here, do your research budget your savings and remember there is light at the end of the tunnel. Keep your Guard up and be careful of scams. I’m not counting on an SSI check but it would be some nice supplemental income.
Looks like you did a super job. Congratulations on your new abode. Well worth the extra dollar a day no doubt about it great video I’m confident you’ll Enjoy your stay
So, if the espresso in the nearby cafe costs ~2$ you're getting a higher standard of living, more energy, better mood and increased productivity for a daily average that can't even buy you a coffee in Thailand? AND a sea view? 😮 Worth every penny! I love your channel and I'm very happy that you're growing, the videos are really good. I'm actually excited when there's a new upload from you. Kudos and keep 'em coming!
At the risk of sounding 'never satisfied' ;-) , do they have Two bedroom units? Would you know their price? And since I am already being a troublemaker, could you ever get a quick walk through of them??? As always, Thank you very much!
7,500 a month is comfortable price but i would pay more for space myself, a completely separate bedroom and living room with large balcony with a view is essential for me, everyone to their own excellent vlog fella.
yeah. I want a better living room and I don't want the bed near the balcony. That just makes for more noise in my opine after 15 trips there. The water view is nice but the street noise and cars and bikes entering and leaving the complex looks like a problem
I stayed at a hotel close by you a few years back, and the do not disturb signs for the doors where hand made bags with sand from the beach in them. Great spot.
@Rides4Kickz I have been thinking of moving to Thailand for the past 4-5 years,and i went on Holiday to Thailand this year in January,as a test run to see if i liked being there,and def. safe to say i absolutely love the place.The last year i have been looking at renting options in Thailand/Pattaya area,I must say that what you have found right there is a steal in my opinion,this is def. a place i would consider when i move. Thanks for the video,they are as usual always enjoyable to watch.
Hello yes I think the view is important for when you are in the condo, it all depends on what you can afford in life but im sure you will be happier here. Great vlog as usual.
Great choice and everything good. The bottom is falling out of the condo rental market right now as there are so many living in hope owners who have not had a renter available for many months. A good allround monthly cost, I imagine you took the opportunity to negotiate the rent down to a sum you were comfortable with as well. Only slight downside for me would be that you say you are the first to rent this particular condo, which on one hand is nice because everything is new but on the other hand you become the guinea pig to find out where the faults are. Would be good if you updated this vlog after a month or so just to comment on if anything untoward reared its head or any unsurprising leaks or equipment failures. Quality vlog again. I have interest because my condo 12 monthly rental expires next month and as such have plenty of opportunities available on whether to move or give my renting owner the chance to halve the monthly cost for another 12 month contract. Its great to have all the options in the renters favour for a change
Excellent choice Will. 7500 baht for that apartment is a steal. Well worth the extra dollar a day. Imagine what a room with that standard and that view would cost in Pattaya. 20.000-25.000 baht a month? Maybe more? You`re very lucky there.
I like it. The only negative for me is that it's too close to street level. I would have chosen a higher floor to reduce the street noise and get a view above the power lines. Does the sun at water or rise?
WOW really nice! The pool alone is worth the dollar a day... the view as well... the location... damn man you got a serious upgrade! How much activity does the pool get? Is it ever crowded? Just... don't parkour up the wall by the pool!
7-11 espresso is 25baht single or 40baht double. Their blend of Lao/Thai Arabica is very nice. Your apartment is lovely for the price you are paying. Really nice shower.
How is the internet speed and consistency in the providence city area. As you can see the wiring on the poles are a “rat nest” There is no standard electricity per providence company like Con Edison or PS&G nor there really aren’t any laws on how the wires should be wrapped. Looking at your neighborhood area wires on the poles are organized. Also how is the electricity - Black out? I like that city and when will you visit North rayong
Love the Get Smart intro! Shoe phones for everyone! Actually I'm guessing the Thais would hate and be insulted by shoe phones, but there you go. Is it worth the extra dollar a day?!? Damn! Let me know when I can move in! Lol. Very nice upgrade. In real estate its location, location, location, and you are living in a much better one. Very nice indeed and definitely worth it.
This place is value for money. A couple of years ago, my wife and I were considering investing in a condo in that building. But the selling price was too high when compared with the expected income from renting it out. Yes, you got a great place!
I'd like to hear your backstory, where you're from, how you ended up where you are at, how old you were when you left your homeland. Is there a video on that? Thanks. And thanks for posting these videos, they are very interesting.
@@Sickillj uhhhh he already said some of that info in a previous video and if you've actually paid attention to any of previous videos you would see his is different than others showing beer bars, nightlife etc...he doesn't even life in pattaya
XLNT condo my good man. I'm in St. Louis, MO which is a reasonably priced place to live stateside and $230 is just my utilities per month. Sooooo. I think your new digs for $1 a day more are phenomenal.
Impressive condo. Nice workstation. Pool is great, and you can't beat easy access to the beach. Those dangling wires are the only drawback, but they are ubiquitous throughout Thailand. They are starting to bury them in parts of Bangkok, however. Enjoyed the video.
I think having a nice view changes the whole living experience. My Hong Kong apartment had a straight on Victoria Harbor View. Always a joy to come home to.
Was looking at retiring in Ecuador in about a year and doing my homework there. I like it mainly because it's on the dollar monetary system and it's a little closer to the US. But, your video's have me doing some thinking. I was stationed in S Korea with the US Army and loved it and Thailand appears to be even cheaper then Ecuador and my money would go even further. I am a single guy and that condo would work perfect for me. thanks for the info.
Nice video. Covered parking is great looks like a good set up. Easy in and out with your motorbike, not pulling out into a four-way intersection. That's worth something too.
Hell yeah its worth it bro...great place...thanks for the tour and fun...I like when you go eat at local places and maybe throw in a disco when they open again....also have you been on top of the State Building at the sky bar Bangcock
Excellent decision and really good value, cannot find anything like that down in Pattaya (where I live half the time). I assume it is what, 32sqm in size? I think you made an excellent choice plus Bangsaen is a great location for Suvarnabhumi.
my wife is Japanese and says you’ve got a nice voice and are easy to understand! We live in Japan now but may retire in Thailand some day. Great videos!
Sweet apartment and in answer your question well worth the extra $USD1 per month. How did you source the apartment? Did you go through a real estate agent? I am considering renting in the region in the future.
Hell Ya . its worth it. Across from the water,has two pools, new unit, eatery its still a good price. I want to see more of your friend. Thanks fir the entertainment
Being able to walk down to the beach is easily worth 30 bucks a month. I was really planning on buying a condo, but you really have me considering renting until I find the killer deal... instead of paying 60k for a decent condo in a nice building i can rent one and move around for about 20 years...
Like the new place. As of today you're lucky you're in Thailand. Things in the states are not good. If you live in a U.S. city, most likely it's closed down. Only shop for groceries and go to Pharmacies. Unemployment at 10% with 30% projected. Financial markets are very uncertain. I have no idea how you get your $$ but I'd keep a close eye to it.
Nice looking condo and amenities. I like the look of Bang Saen as a place to live. I would prefer to live in a house but looking out over the sea is great. Any reason why you chose to live in a condo rather than a house?
generally speaking I dont comment, but enjoy watching, but yes the view & convenience more than make up the dollar a day difference, plus a "BRAND NEW" place is AWESOME! if ever sick, or not feeling well, food is closer to go get. You did good. keep up the videos
A dollar a day for a sea view, you would pay a hell of a lot more for that anywhere else in the world . Living the dream !( Well my dream definitely 👍) .
Please... How is the wall thickness? The newer places tend to have very thin walls. The Japanese joke is... If you want to put a nail in the wall to hang a picture.. Talk with your neighbour so he can buy a picture for the other end of the nail. There are a few new towers in Pattaya and Jomtien that are unlivable. People should know... Facing the sea in Pattaya is the hot side of the building. It gets the afternoon and evening sun. Which adds a hundred $ to the aircon bill a month. The cool side of the building is facing south. Next best is east which gets the morning sun.
Good questions. This faces North, no direct sun any part of the day, that is actually the coolest side. Very rare to find a north facing unit with water view, which was of big interest to me. The walls are thick, I have never heard a noise from above below or from the side in the month I've been here.
I think it is a very good deal .. 7500 Baht a month condo with sea view. Excellent. Could I ask you how far is your condo to Pattaya and how long you will take to reach there?
T G Rides for kicks is a good channel. But I also like 20 seconds Thailand Rob. He’s a little goofy but very fun and a very good channel. I’m over no time to be sad Chuck has lost it as far as I’m concerned and retire cheap in Thailand has gotten way too preachy for me. Enjoy the channel check out Thailand Rob
I liked the other place better . It was on the 24th floor , and had the small patio with the table and 2 chairs . It also had the pool and workout room . I definitely like the SOCAFE right outside your new place though .
How many square meters is this condo? I am blind so I can't see it but it sounds lovely. Does it have air conditioner in the living room and the bedroom, and in the bathroom is the shower enclosed so water doesn't get everywhere? Finally are there chairs and umbrellas you can rent on the beach, or do you have to bring your own. I love watching your videdios :)
In Bangkok this would cost you 17,000+ a month depending on the area and developer. Sometimes you just gotta move after some time because apartments in Thailand deteriorate fast.
What a great place and location👍 The price is unreal. In the dump formerly known as San Francisco, a dirty, rotten room with a shared bathroom/shower is $1200 a month with the added bonus of hundreds of homeless, drug addicts, drug dealers, etc. right outside your door.
Those are nice condos. About 18 months ago, I checked out your condo buildings and I thought they were a great buy. Where is the condo pricing at today? It will only get cheaper......
I would think the bottom of the market for buying a place would be right now in thailand. Why not just buy a place?. Most of the new condo's I look at in 2013 were around 3 million baht in pattaya, but double the size of what you want to rent. I'm still happy I when back to las vegas and got my condo for $82,000. That breaks down to $415.00 a month mortgage with taxes and home owners insurance included. It includes 3 bedrooms,2 1/2 bathrooms, and a one car garage. It's a 1,224 square foot. It was also build back in 1999.
Maybe this will push you over the edge is a bad choice of words when looking over the balcony ,.! but that looks like a nice condo and area, spent a night in bansen few years ago,but didnt explore it, it looks clean and quiet weekdays, i bet weekends are busy, plus the street race would be good to see also,. cheers R4K,.
The So cafe was my free internet cafe for a month, love that end of bangseagn, fave fish resturant is the blue roof one. Have you been to monkey mountain yet?, good cut through to the main road. Was offered an app in the ship building in 2008 for 15k uk, so should have gone for it. ps toilets were a bit stinky down the side there at the cafe. btw you can get petrol right next to the cafe over the roundabout, the app is nice and enough well done.
Can I play devil's advocate and say I preferred the other apartment? 😂 Only kidding. You've landed yourself an absolute gemstone of an abode there, seaview to boot as well. I too didn't shriek delight at the token gesture on site cafe/ restaurant.
Can you pin the location please ?

I definitely think it's worth the extra $1 more a day. I would love to see more of the area around the condo.
When you have a view like that every morning that's got to be worth the extra dollar no problem at all
Looks like you did a super job. Congratulations on your new abode. Well worth the extra dollar a day no doubt about it great video I’m confident you’ll Enjoy your stay

The sun sets over the water in Pattaya.
Higher floor=higher price, everywhere in the world.
High floor more fire risk .

Well worth it, a really nice comfortable condo in a good location. Thanks for sharing

I like both condos. This one seems to be more centrally located and definitely has a better view. The So Cafe is also worth the rent increase.

I am an American living in Trang. For me, the cafe at the condo is worth the $1.00 a day most definitely. Take care of yourself.
Like the new place.
As of today you're lucky you're in Thailand. Things in the states are not good.
If you live in a U.S. city, most likely it's closed down. Only shop for groceries and go to Pharmacies. Unemployment at 10% with 30% projected. Financial markets are very uncertain. I have no idea how you get your $$ but I'd keep a close eye to it.
'Mr Happy' there
Exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you for the tour.
Thanks for showing us your life awesome for the price nice breeze from the ocean
Excellent ...massive difference ..well done. It’s so cheap to live there ..wow. Think it’s worth 50% more than the other one.
Keep the good job and you’ll hit 50K subs in a nutshell. Well done
Great upgrade! Totally worth it in my opinion.
Just found you..I like that you explain prices. How expensive are groceries? Jar of coffee, milk, bread etc to buy?
no brainer, thats 100% worth it as it looks perfect for what you need.
Great position.....super clean modern building...........got to be worth the money.....keep well :)
Nice looking condo and amenities. I like the look of Bang Saen as a place to live. I would prefer to live in a house but looking out over the sea is great. Any reason why you chose to live in a condo rather than a house?
yes its worth it as long you are happy there thats all you need .as i am looking to also move to thailand but my wife live in kanchanaburi
generally speaking I dont comment, but enjoy watching, but yes the view & convenience more than make up the dollar a day difference, plus a "BRAND NEW" place is AWESOME! if ever sick, or not feeling well, food is closer to go get. You did good. keep up the videos
Very nice! Love the beachfront location. A word from the wise, it's cheaper to rent than own!
A dollar a day for a sea view, you would pay a hell of a lot more for that anywhere else in the world . Living the dream !( Well my dream definitely 👍) .
Please... How is the wall thickness? The newer places tend to have very thin walls. The Japanese joke is... If you want to put a nail in the wall to hang a picture.. Talk with your neighbour so he can buy a picture for the other end of the nail.
There are a few new towers in Pattaya and Jomtien that are unlivable.
People should know... Facing the sea in Pattaya is the hot side of the building. It gets the afternoon and evening sun. Which adds a hundred $ to the aircon bill a month. The cool side of the building is facing south. Next best is east which gets the morning sun.
Good questions. This faces North, no direct sun any part of the day, that is actually the coolest side. Very rare to find a north facing unit with water view, which was of big interest to me. The walls are thick, I have never heard a noise from above below or from the side in the month I've been here.
Much nicer for sure.. better layout everything new.. better location. For 1 dollar a day well worth it
I think it is a very good deal .. 7500 Baht a month condo with sea view. Excellent. Could I ask you how far is your condo to Pattaya and how long you will take to reach there?
Great value condo
Quality of youre videos is excellent
The View is well worth the price. Great condo location.
great value for the price. is it cheaper if you sign a one year lease compare to month to month? and do they have anything for sale.
Will you ever do a live stream for Q&A? Your'e the best vloger in Thailand. Thanks for sharing your life!
T G Rides for kicks is a good channel. But I also like 20 seconds Thailand Rob. He’s a little goofy but very fun and a very good channel. I’m over no time to be sad Chuck has lost it as far as I’m concerned and retire cheap in Thailand has gotten way too preachy for me. Enjoy the channel check out Thailand Rob
Hey man, with that soothing voice you can do hypnosis videos ; )
Like a late night jazz DJ.
He definitely has a potential second career as a radio announcer!
I liked the other place better . It was on the 24th floor , and had the small patio with the table and 2 chairs . It also had the pool and workout room . I definitely like the SOCAFE right outside your new place though .
best opening EVER! well worth that extra buck
How many square meters is this condo? I am blind so I can't see it but it sounds lovely. Does it have air conditioner in the living room and the bedroom, and in the bathroom is the shower enclosed so water doesn't get everywhere? Finally are there chairs and umbrellas you can rent on the beach, or do you have to bring your own. I love watching your videdios :)
Absolutely worth the extra $1 a day , i plan on a 2 year break in thailand next year , that would be ideal for me .
R4K, wonderful video! How far is your new home from central Pattaya? Thank you!
Excellent choice. Where do you laundry ? Is there a laundry service nearby?
Hello from Austria. I watched your new video before I started watching the new season of Money Heist on Netflix. Enough said...
In Bangkok this would cost you 17,000+ a month depending on the area and developer. Sometimes you just gotta move after some time because apartments in Thailand deteriorate fast.
100% much better than the previous place. Sea view justifies the extra $1 per day. Let alone it's brand new.
Thanks for this video. Nice Condo and Cafe, also affordable.
Hell yeah, it’s worth way more. Great information
What a great place and location👍 The price is unreal. In the dump formerly known as San Francisco, a dirty, rotten room with a shared bathroom/shower is $1200 a month with the added bonus of hundreds of homeless, drug addicts, drug dealers, etc. right outside your door.
Those are nice condos. About 18 months ago, I checked out your condo buildings and I thought they were a great buy. Where is the condo pricing at today? It will only get cheaper......
I would think the bottom of the market for buying a place would be right now in thailand. Why not just buy a place?. Most of the new condo's I look at in 2013 were around 3 million baht in pattaya, but double the size of what you want to rent. I'm still happy I when back to las vegas and got my condo for $82,000. That breaks down to $415.00 a month mortgage with taxes and home owners insurance included. It includes 3 bedrooms,2 1/2 bathrooms, and a one car garage. It's a 1,224 square foot. It was also build back in 1999.
Maybe this will push you over the edge is a bad choice of words when looking over the balcony ,.! but that looks like a nice condo and area, spent a night in bansen few years ago,but didnt explore it, it looks clean and quiet weekdays, i bet weekends are busy, plus the street race would be good to see also,. cheers R4K,.
The So cafe was my free internet cafe for a month, love that end of bangseagn, fave fish resturant is the blue roof one. Have you been to monkey mountain yet?, good cut through to the main road. Was offered an app in the ship building in 2008 for 15k uk, so should have gone for it. ps toilets were a bit stinky down the side there at the cafe. btw you can get petrol right next to the cafe over the roundabout, the app is nice and enough well done.
Can I play devil's advocate and say I preferred the other apartment? 😂 Only kidding. You've landed yourself an absolute gemstone of an abode there, seaview to boot as well. I too didn't shriek delight at the token gesture on site cafe/ restaurant.
