I happened to run into Tempus TV last night at the Rompho bar complex in Jomtien. Very nice guy. If you see him, don't be afraid to say hello. He's taller than he looks in the videos.
Best place I've found in Thailand after years of visiting jomtien is the best place to live it's beautiful place great vibes arrive in a few weeks time for 6 months can't wait
The beach in Jomtien is way better and it is not even close. It is cleaner, more places to lounge and swim. Pattaya is full of boats everywhere. I agree that the jet skis are a dangerous annoyance. Signage and roping should be better to avoid accidents. Whenever I go, I stay in Jomtien and if I want a night out a cheap Grab taxi takes you to Pattaya.
I really enjoyed how you went through things between both Pattaya and Jomtien. You were very good in every section that you covered. I am in that situation myself. I like both. I am trying to find a middle ground between both, where one starts and the other begins. lol
Probably a first time visitor will enjoy Pattaya and if you’re a long time visitor, digital nomad or retiree you’ll choose Jomtien Beach. But that’s still an individual decision. Jomtien Beach is much cleaner and better for swimming. It’s only a quick baht bus ride between the two. If you’ve never been to either you’ll find both enjoyable.
Start on your visa now. It will take months and many hurdles like finding a bank that will open an account for a foreigner. Expect besides the 850,000 baht a very high costs to get a one year visa and you must report to immigration every 90 days.
Thanks for this video, I am planning my next trip to Thailand and I was wondering how Jontiem is like. I haven’t even able to find a good site where I can see the bath bus routes, is there one you can recommend ?
i traveled to thailand (pattaya) for 11yrs starting in 2009. lived in jomiten/pattaya also once i turned 50 with visa. bottom line jomiten is quieter. i have not been back since 2019. i doubt it has changed with that. in pattaya in the partz zone. my thought day or night. 10min ride bike/taxi and i am in the party zone of pattaya. ride back to tranquilty with my girl. the thai girls like it too. you do not "look" like a tourist even if you are there for say only a month. good video.
If I had to choose between Pattaya and Jomtien, I'd walk or run and let the next investor buy in as I'd be heading south to Hua Hin or other coastal cities south of Bankok as it would be a better area to invest for the long term especially if your own retirement is being considered.
I'm pretty sure it's Soi 4? has a gym. Beach has aparatus for callisthenics. They also play beach volley ball every night. There are even stands for fans to sit on. Pretty cool.
looking to come to pattaya, staying for about 4 weeks, would prefer a studio apartment with cooking possibility. looked at airbnb and agoda but prices seems to be almost 15-20k baht for 4 weeks, and those places doesnt seem very nice for that price. How are guesthouses compared to studios/condos when ur at a budget and want as good as you can get for your limited cash? Also is it better to book a couple nights, then look in person for better deals?
You are right the hotel and condo prices have gone through the roof, I'm going to Vietnam and Cambodia this year instead as pattaya is a expensive destination now
Hey thanks for sharing your videos and just was wondering I'm staying at a place called Nova Suites in Pattaya just wondering if you know anything about that hotel anyways I mean their October 30th maybe see you out there thanks again😊
Tell me this? I’m looking for more facilities, good shops, restaurants, places to stay and I would also like to ask about Thai boxing gyms and if there are many in Pattaya itself rather than around the area
I’d like to see the land marks that show the difference between Jomtien and Pattaya. Where one starts and where one ends. With a quick view of what’s in between. Thanks
My own opinion, where Pattaya ends is at the top of the hill where it begins to go downhill to Jomtien. Its a long and gradual walk to the top and somewhat shorter descent to Jomtien Beach but there are few businesses on either side of the street going up or down although they tend to be bigger and newer businesses as you get closer to the beach in Jomtien. Its not a place I'd stay for much longer than a week as it gets old fast.
even Baht Bus tried to rip me off late at night they know especially if you are with a lady tried to charge me 300 Baht - Taxi maybe 200 Baht but I never been to Jomtien yet
Do the Pattaya to Jomtien Baht Buses run all night or is there a time of the last Baht Bus please? And answer to this question would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi, starting to get hotter. Peak temperatures will be in April but, it will be dry and sunny, make sure you drink plenty of water and enjoy the experience 😉 😊
Great vid bud. It's of course PAAATYA not PUTTAYA. More eccentuation on the A. Might not be important to you, but I personally think it's important to pronounce the name correctly of the city you're living in.
Thanks for the video!!! How long of a visa did you get when you first moved to Thailand? Why did you choose Pattaya? Did you make a friend pretty quickly to help you maneuver through the transition? Thanks!!
What is the correct way to pronounce Pattaya? Because there's the way you say it stressing the middle syllable, and people who say you should stress the first syllable. As in, "I went to the store to shop for some outdoor Pattaya furniture."
I go back and forth between both. But if I've learned anything, it's not matter how you say it, some old angry expat will correct you haha. Never been corrected by any of my Thai friends
You don't. Unless you are doing a job that a Thai person can't do, you can't work in Thailand. If you have a degree + a qualification in teaching English as a foreign language, you can work but other than that, you only visit. If you are wealthy & can create a business then you need legal advice. Check out the visa situation for more information.
If you went to a different bar every night, you might cover Jomtien in about a year. If you tried the same in Pattaya you might make it by your 174th birthday.
Boring, uninformative. Why people create such valueless videos and waste people's time. Never going to watch this video. How can a Farang be an expert in Thailand after living here for only one year?
Jomtien for us, and we're moving there in September. 🇹🇭
@@CraigO..555 how do you like Jomtien now that you're there? How do you choose a place to live to avoid the noisy bikes etc? Thanks

It was nice to meet you my man!
I lived in both now live in Jomtien and love it and the beach is much better here

How much is the Grab? Curious what it come to as a monthly expense based on number of trips back and forth.
@@mrtravispickle you can get the bhatt bus 10 bhatt.
Appreciate the info, man. Heading to Jontain now.

Jomtien is my choice
great perspective! best comparison I've heard to date from any youtuber.. thank you sir
Glad it was helpful!
Finally made it out here! Leaving Bangkok for Phuket tomorrow. Love Thailand 🇹🇭
How are you liking it?
I ❤ Jom tien beach 🏖🌴🌊🌅
Jomtien if want more chilled lifestyle within easy reach of party central Pattaya.
just found your channel dude, really impressed, great job! cool music too! stoked to come to Thailand!
Welcome aboard!
Looking to relocate from the U.S. I prefer the pace and night market of Jomtien, and apartment proximity to the beach

@@rh7163 I checked out hauhin. He's got a long way to go to compare with Jontiem
Thank you mate for the info 👍
Any time!
ST Pattaya, LT Jomtien.
At least for me 😁
Great video. Thank you!
Thanks for the comparison
AP 15400 gang represent!
What is gym situation for working out? Have you noticed any gyms in your travels.
I'm pretty sure it's Soi 4? has a gym. Beach has aparatus for callisthenics. They also play beach volley ball every night. There are even stands for fans to sit on. Pretty cool.

Well, the beach is kind of a side dish and not the main course when you are in Pattaya....
Depends if you’re a sex tourist or not.

You'll be able to find all of that in Pattaya or Jomtien!
@@tempustv thank you much appreciated
Yes I always like a cheaper holiday DVarree is the best bet I know of

you have a night radio voice
How long do the Baht buses run for. If you party in Pattaya, can you get a Baht bus late at night back to Jomtien?
even Baht Bus tried to rip me off late at night they know especially if you are with a lady tried to charge me 300 Baht - Taxi maybe 200 Baht but I never been to Jomtien yet
Do the Pattaya to Jomtien Baht Buses run all night or is there a time of the last Baht Bus please?

Yes run 24hrs
I'm booking a 2 week trip to jomtien for next year. I was thinking early March. Weather wise, I'd March a good time?
Its a good time. Getting a little hotter then dez-feb but still mostly dry.
Hi, starting to get hotter. Peak temperatures will be in April but, it will be dry and sunny, make sure you drink plenty of water and enjoy the experience 😉 😊
Plenty of new accommodation popping up in Jomtien, bro …
best of both worlds and only 15 minutes apart ...woo-hoo
Q; are thre any rooftop bars in Jomtien or south end of pattaya tht has a house music DJ? thanks!
is the beach water clear ?

5k subs congrats
How much do u spent a month?

Hi, is the sea really dirty in Jomtien as people say?
@@zhannaj.a.910 no
Daytime Jomtien
Nighttime Pattaya
It would make it more entertaining and helpful for me if you could answer some of questions in the comment section from subscribers.
Thanks Man
I loved Jomtien!
i prefer jomtien by far

Is Pratumnak good place to stay? Is it part of Jomtiem???
Pratumnak is good yes, it's somewhat in between
I love Thailand hate the Humidity and that was during the cool season. Unless you go to Chiang mai.
Jomtien looks better
The main part of Pattaya is horrible ,I can take Jomtien or north Pattaya.
I like Noklua better than both of them
BOLT taxi's are inexpensive and they are air conditioned - for the ride between Jomtien and Pattaya.
Is it hotter then phoenix Arizona?
Tempus moved to Thailand from Phoenix...
PHX is way hotter in the summer. The high/low temps in Pattaya don't swing as much.
Jomtien is in pattaya lol
I wanna go Thailand to train Muay Thai,but I’m shit scared of the snakes 🤣
Get a grip dude… snakes Are kind
Taxi .33 c
Its more or less the same Shit!
