You’re 110% correct. I live here in Australia and would give anything to settle down in Thailand. Got to be one of the most beautiful countries and people in the world.
I was born and raised in Thailand. Moved to live in the U.S. with a family member to enroll in high school and then college after that. I ended up staying here to work and occasionally go back to Thailand to visit family and friends. As time goes by, I keep wanting to return to Thailand. I had a great opportunity to get an education and employment in the U.S. However, there's no place like home. I will end up going back to Thailand and remain there after retirement.
I was in Pattaya the whole time you were gone and just arrived back in Canada yesterday. I will retire in Pattaya in a few years. Your videos have something for everybody 👍
Nice one Loucous... welcome home. Glad you enjoyed you vac. Thanks for sharing the baloon lady sharing her baloons. Looking forward to the next installment.
Thanks for your review on hotel or places to stay... Most of the places that us that toured there regularly have either closed or gone so it’s nice to get a new update on the accommodations now available in Pattaya....please more more updates🙏🙏 especially for most of us that will be coming this Christmas & new year
Great accommodation for a month or two until you find your feet and get settled in for those moving permanently. Great food and great big balloons, what more does a man need lol. Good show today Loucas, good to see you back in Pattaya. 👍🏻✌🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for the video Lucas, travelling in two weeks & just what I needed - a nice budget hotel near to all action. Good part is that baht bus is at the doorstep however road noise could be bothering…especially the rooms at road side. Cheers !!
Hey Lucas, I think your youtube subscribers would benefit from a quick catch up with Angie Taxi. You made a video a while back and my mate just used her service and it was perfect. I have just booked her for July. Love the video too
Great way to get off a phone call with someone you don’t wanna talk to. “Hey I gotta go there’s a girl across the street who wants to show me her balloons.” 😬
YES! For sure. Couple more years I'll be retired and joining you lads in the "Land of Smiles." Been there 7 or 8 times on holiday and love it. Can't wait to settle down there.
Very reasonable service charge. The truck is still looking very new - you have really looked after it. Pizza and red wine - nice! i was thinking that B19,500 was a bit steep - but when you include the daily maid service - that is real value!
Yeah, but you never know who the maids are. I lived in Las Vegas during the pandemic when rates were like $10 a day and they would try and get in every day to clean the room, and I didn't want strangers in my room. Maybe weekly when I'm there, but I can tidy up myself, plus of course they're looking for tip money out, at least in the US.
Hey got to love those balloons🤣😂🤣. That hotel is a good option, at least until I found My place. Great info Mr R4K. Happy travels and stay safe. God bless You guys👍🏿.
Brilliant Loucas 👏. Just awesome. The street town style food place in Jomtien just looked perfect the food looked great as always 😋. The Mitsubishi service center just looked great wow reminded me of USA style. We don't have that in UK at all 🤷🏼♂️. Sunview Place looked pretty good to me. Btw I watched your Bangkok Motor show video earlier it was great. Beautiful models 😋🇹🇭👍
Thanks for sharing Lucas, that's a nice little food court tucked away, nice enough hotel with pool, and fairly decent sized balloons too 😂😂 regards from England 🍺🍺👍
Good value service and sounded thorough. Good hotel, and it isn't so expensive for a month's holiday, considering it's all-inclusive and the location. Good video, Lucas.
Thanks for this Lucas. I stayed near this place and meant to look into staying there, but never got around to it. I'll definitely look into this place. Thanks again.
I was in Nicky's restaurant, sitting near the door, the day you were in. :D I also stayed In the Sunview Place around 15 years ago, It hasn't changed much.
Hi Lucas, Why don't you show another short stay Condo, there is one very close by at ' The Urban Condominium '; It's a 52 sqm Condo in Excellent Condition and Luxurious and it is managed directly by the Owner ' Claudio '. I was staying there for 45 days it also has cleaning options and no contract, with flexible date options ( minimum 30 days ). At the moment around 750 a night. Many UA-camrs already made videos about Claudio Condo. Might be interesting for your other viewers. Cheers P.S. Let me know if you want his contact details.
what acute dog and finally, I might take you on regarding the longFantastic! Lovely young Thai Student going back to the US, amd I might take you on regarding the long stay Hotel! Lovely!
Thank you very much, as I lived right down Near ACTION street at the Links Golf Bar and then Collins Golf Bar. & so I walked by that hotel oh so many times. Too bad that new Holiday Inn Express just almost next door / same side didn't have the monthly deal? Remember when they had the fire there? thanx again
the problem i find with food is that for dietary reasons I stay around 1800 calories. One pizza and I am done for the day. You stay upbeat which is great. Hotel would be great if I am in my 30s. I probably will stay in the marriott courtyard. I found some nice large units in wongamat right on the beach between 40-50k. They even have tennis courts. I will check it out in a few days. Stay well and thanks for the video.
The Sun View was the place I stayed in on my 1st trip to Pattaya. I enjoyed it although at the time there was a beer complex almost next door and some nights it was a bit annoying but that complex is no longer there so it should be a lot better?
Hey Lucas and Vee, welcome back! Was that Mika that I saw? The young lady who came from the US sounded so educated. All the food looked excellent. Gotta keep that truck at 100%. That snake will probably eat mostly mice I would assume. I thought that the apartment that your friend decided to move into seemed really nice to me. I don't think I could ever live in such a small place. Sorry I'm bouncing all over. Please tell Vee that she's looking as pretty as ever. I'm going to cut this short. Take care and see you soon! ❤
Hi, Lucus & Vee enjoyed your video. I can see why for a stay of a month this would attract guests if you want your room serviced I would much prefer something with a kitchen dining area if I was to stay long term. Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M
Another good vid for sure. Good info as well on the longtime stay accommodations, some thing I will be interested in with all included for sure for a fact finding trip fir 6 months or so, a lot of things already taken care of in a 1 stop place. Lucas if you get a chance some time and not go out off your way to much; is there any good weight lifting gym in the area? I don't mean just a little gym supplied by a hotel but some thing with full weight room with free weights and machines. A ball park price would be nice if it's not to much, I will threat you and the woman to a meal, if ur so choosing. Thx and cheers
sunview place is in awesome location and has nice rooms, very close to lk metro, kinda walking distance to coconut bar and beachroad + baht bus. Sadly when i was there many years ago, they opened up and their wifi sucked.
A very Meagher existence on that and you would really have to watch every baht you spend and know how to stretch that money. Could be done if you are focused on the Muay Thai and don't have any unexpected expenses but over the course of a year that is asking a lot.
Yea, keep the Snakes, cuts down the rat population. Garden looks good., I believe that's a very good deal. Thanks , Lucas for the video and the information.
Pizza is the highest margin restaurant product, apart from our local wine 🍷, which costs 10 baht a half litre wholesale and sells here in a restaurant for 320 baht a half litre 😱🤣🇫🇷. Now, that's what I call a money maker. You can even shake it 👍😁.
We have stayed at the SunView many times over more than 10 years, but we started to loose things from the room... Last time my wife forgot the phone on the bed then we check out, she called after 10 min, - is my phone still there-? No... So never more...!
The long stay looked quite reasonable…..truck all checked out and ready for the next adventure!
Yeah, wonder where that will be 🤔
You’re 110% correct. I live here in Australia and would give anything to settle down in Thailand. Got to be one of the most beautiful countries and people in the world.
Thanks Brad 👍🙏

@@Rides4Kickz how far is that hotel from the old mikes shopping mall on 2nd road?
Lovely little face on the puppy, looks like Yoda from star wars . Good to get back home after traveling. Thanks for the upload.
Haha, that's what they should have named it 🤣😂👍
Good for her. She is smart and ambitious and has already mastered English. Impressive as hell.

Having a laundry right next door is pretty convenient. Pizza looked good to me too.
Great accommodation for a month or two until you find your feet and get settled in for those moving permanently.
Great food and great big balloons, what more does a man need lol.
Good show today Loucas, good to see you back in Pattaya. 👍🏻✌🏻🙏🏻
Exactly Rich, you never want to make a major decision or purchase in a rush 👍🙏
Oh man ...eager to see more about the balloons
All the guys leaving USA UK are into there second part of life as she's just starting .. better herself and return
🎈🎈Thanks for sharing Great video🎈🎈
Thank you very much!
What a great value , Oh balloons are nice as well ! LOL Thanks enjoy ...
Thanks Karl 👍🙏
Great content, thanks. Ive been watching your survival guide videos and have found some of that information very helpful. Thanks.

I have just booked her for July.
Love the video too
Greeting Lucas. Great video as always. That girl sure has some nice balloons. I can see why you want to go say hi to her lol.
Great way to get off a phone call with someone you don’t wanna talk to.
“Hey I gotta go there’s a girl across the street who wants to show me her balloons.” 😬
Haha, works every time 🤣😂👍🙏
Amazingly good value for a service.
Great, smashing,,, super 😎🙏🙏🙏
Vee seems to have excellent green fingers ✌🏡✌
Quite a collection of herbs in your garden 👍
Is our Favourite Herb being natured there 😜
She's done well, everything grown from seeds.
YES! For sure. Couple more years I'll be retired and joining you lads in the "Land of Smiles." Been there 7 or 8 times on holiday and love it. Can't wait to settle down there.
Great show 😊keep them coming

That food is making me hungry! Looks super yummy!
👍👍🙏🙏
That food looked so delectable and the long term hotel was a great deal. great options. Thanks for the update.😎
Quite welcome Eleanor, 👍🙏🙏
Condo was a good deal. Car service was so cheap, here in Australia would cost $400-600aud for a 30k service. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Yes great deal on the hotel accommodations. Good info Thank You ❤👍
Welcome Ugene 👍🙏
Hey got to love those balloons🤣😂🤣. That hotel is a good option, at least until I found My place. Great info Mr R4K. Happy travels and stay safe. God bless You guys👍🏿.

what a lovely pair of balloons.
very nice balloons!!!
Looks great for a single person. The only problem I can see would be the noise from the nearby road. And maybe better placement for the sofa.
Could be, but that section is generally not too noisy.
🖐spidey cab ❤ 🇹🇭 🙏 welcome to pattaya 🏖your trip to the south is 😍 and your reports are purposeful 👍
Thanks for sharing Lucas, that's a nice little food court tucked away, nice enough hotel with pool, and fairly decent sized balloons too 😂😂 regards from England 🍺🍺👍

Good value service and sounded thorough.
Good hotel, and it isn't so expensive for a month's holiday, considering it's all-inclusive and the location.
Good video, Lucas.
Wow Lucas I have not had a Scotch Egg in years !! Mmmmmm. And such nice balloons they were Lucas !!
Haha, yes a staple part of the Ploughman platter 😂👍🙏
Look forward to visit Pattaya next month.
Safe Travels, the town is as busy right now as a normal pre-pandemic June.
Thanks for this Lucas. I stayed near this place and meant to look into staying there, but never got around to it. I'll definitely look into this place.
Thanks again.
Nice, enjoy Brian 👍🙏
I was in Nicky's restaurant, sitting near the door, the day you were in. :D
I also stayed In the Sunview Place around 15 years ago, It hasn't changed much.
I think they keep it up well though Paul. Looked nicely maintained for an older property. 👍
LOL.. Love them balloons.
11:30 19500 baht a month is almost $600/month. At the high end even with the extras especially if you're talking for 6 months plus.
Nice one Mate, cheers Phil
Thanks Phil, see you tomorrow.
I've stayed at the Sunview. It's a convenient location and clean.
Great haircut....✌
Great vid and room at the end!
Thanks!
Hi Lucas,
Why don't you show another short stay Condo, there is one very close by at ' The Urban Condominium ';
It's a 52 sqm Condo in Excellent Condition and Luxurious and it is managed directly by the Owner ' Claudio '.
I was staying there for 45 days it also has cleaning options and no contract, with flexible date options ( minimum 30 days ).
At the moment around 750 a night.
Many UA-camrs already made videos about Claudio Condo.
Might be interesting for your other viewers.

I'd like his contact.

Enjoy Mickey, very convenient arrangement there. 👍🙏
I almost got run over once crossing the road to see some lovely balloons on soi 6 those lovely balloons get everywhere🙏🏼😊
Gotta watch where you walk in Pattaya, dangers are everywhere 🤣
$ 60.00 for all that work is pretty good Service for Your Truck ....
Great Hotel Room and looks as there are plenty of places to eat...
You bet Ray 👍🙏
Thank you very much,
as I lived right down Near ACTION street at the Links Golf Bar and then Collins Golf Bar.
& so I walked by that hotel oh so many times.

Good option for that Miguel, low hassle, decent room 👍🙏
Nice balloon's at that!

Yeah, not much going on over there at the moment.
Wow,. Cheap service check and oil change, that would have been easily $150 or more US. 30 day options. Definitely a good deal. Great episode.
Thanks Robert 👍🙏
Lol, some of us just dont like heights! 🤣 I can feel the building moving by the 3rd or 4th floor, and am having panic attacks by the 5th.

And what lovely looking ballons to 👌😜… 555
Great video. Would you say that the average age of a Pattaya woman as gone up post pandemic?
Haha, no the opposite.
See if you have a cabin filter...it cleans the outside air coming into the cab...no lie...my 2018 gmc has one.
Which Balloons Lucas, The Green OR the Yellow ones 😍😍😍 ... Welcome back to Pattaya 😊😊😊
We'll have to find out next time 🤣👍🙏
The long stay looked good, my only concern was perhaps it might be a bit noisy, other than that, a great location, at a reasonable price.
Yeah, not sure, no real noise makers about except for the road traffic.
Nice insht

Ok Antio 👍🙏
That place is perfect for me as I have the same requirements, but will the price rise in a few months, i.e. is that still pandemic price?
Don't think so Graham, the prices have already risen, during the pandemic, they were doing the cheap rooms for like 5k I believe.
Nice balloons...
Thanks 🏝
👍👍🙏🙏
@@Rides4Kickz clark air base PI
I think that is a bargain for what you get and the location
I suspect plenty of places around to eat
And oh nice balloons 🤭🤭
What is it with Americans and Pizza???
Awesome I missed you 🍺🤟🤟🇦🇺🇹🇭🇺🇸
Rock on! 👍🙏
Thai food is so damn much healthier than what most Americans eat it’s incredible.
sunview place is in awesome location and has nice rooms, very close to lk metro, kinda walking distance to coconut bar and beachroad + baht bus. Sadly when i was there many years ago, they opened up and their wifi sucked.
Nice balloons. lol
Enjoy Mt. Rainer national park. Or, Crater lake. Haven't left the U.S. In several years. How are Thailand's film festivals ?
Hopefully coming back now, the last 2 years not so much.
i have a question how long did it take u to learn the language
start of vlog what name restaurant
Where did you have the welcome home meal, looks great in there,. 🙏
Hops, beach road and soi 13/1
that's a good deal on the room
you always get an almost empty can of some car oil given back to take home ,think it's a conformation of the stuff actually entering your motor
Yeah, got about 1/2 a liter or quart to take home.
I'm coming to pattaya in November for 1 year to learn Muay Thai and get in shape, will £ 500 a month be enough to live on do you think
Nope double or triple that mate.
A very Meagher existence on that and you would really have to watch every baht you spend and know how to stretch that money. Could be done if you are focused on the Muay Thai and don't have any unexpected expenses but over the course of a year that is asking a lot.
Sir Lucas, that is a hell of a deal, he could leave early or find something after his month is up...
You could always leave early but not sure they would issue a refund. But when the month is up you can either renew or move.
2 more years and I will be there to live cannot wait
Nice Andrew 👍🙏
Cheap money saving service. And at a main dealer a bargain. 😎😎
Did he say 500,000 baht deposit?
Jeez the noise from that room!! No way ..... nightmare....
Yea, keep the Snakes, cuts down the rat population. Garden looks good., I believe that's a very good deal. Thanks , Lucas for the video and the information.
You bet Denny, our pleasure 👍🙏
Can we get an episode at the balloon shop
Pizza is the highest margin restaurant product, apart from our local wine 🍷, which costs 10 baht a half litre wholesale and sells here in a restaurant for 320 baht a half litre 😱🤣🇫🇷.
Now, that's what I call a money maker. You can even shake it 👍😁.
Haha, yes Pizza generally a low food cost but very competitive 👍
19,500 Thai Baht per month with all those perks is excellent.
About $200 Aus a week seems like good value for that room 👍
I did a month condo rental once, never again. Just too much hassle for too little saving.
Yes, coming on holiday, things are supposed to be easy, not a hassle. 👍🙏
@@Rides4Kickz Queen Vic is only 800 a night, probably much better rates on two-four week stays.
I've stayed at SunView prior to Covid. Not bad but the front rooms are very noisy all night long both from traffic and nearby bars.
Yeah, can be. He got a room in the back so maybe not so bad.
We have stayed at the SunView many times over more than 10 years, but we started to loose things from the room...
Last time my wife forgot the phone on the bed then we check out, she called after 10 min, - is my phone still there-? No...
