    Loved this video Daz and Claudio. Daz you’re a star and your content has quickly become an invaluable resource for me. I love the focus you place on prices/cost for relevant expenses and topics and how you present the information. Claudio you clearly know your stuff on the Pattaya condo front (as do I) and you come across very genuine with a create sense of humour. Thank you very much guys :)

    I have utililised Claudio's apartment on my holidays and has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. The condo is centrally located to all the entertainment precincts, yet far away from the blaring music. Making a booking is a hassle free experience and a seamless process. I have found Claudio very pleasant to deal with and very accommodating.
    At the end of the rental period, he does a quick reading of electricity & water and final payment is a breeze. PLUS YOU GET YOUR BOND BACK IMMEDIATELY, NOT 3 MONTHS LATER LIKE OTHER REAL ESTATE AGENTS.
    Would definitely use his services again on the next occasion I decide to visit Pattaya.
    Thanks again Claudio for your assistance and meet up again on my next visit.

    Especially in Pattaya there is a risk if you buy a condo. Pattaya has no zoning and so it can happen that you buy a condo in a very quiet area and soon afterwards bars open next to it. Look at the newer Tree Town area. I know people living close to it. Many years this was an empty and quiet place. Now they hardly can use their condos anymore because of the often extreme bar noise. If you cannot even watch TV anymore and hardly can sleep even with earplugs then you have a problem. Special additional windows and doors inside will not help against deep frequencies. I know a guy there that has 3 balcony doors (European products) in a row and each one has triple glazing. It is not enough. They complained at the city hall and police and even made signature lists. Nothing ever changed. It just got worse. In such a case your investment might end as a total loss. You cannot use it and you cannot sell it. And you have no guarantee that this will not happen to you. 1 noisy bar can be enough already. And mostly there is not much you can do against it. This is my experience after having been living in Pattaya for almost 30 years. I had to move several times because of noise. It is better to rent here...

      If I listened to you ten years ago I would not have several condos that are earning good return. People that have the cash to start a business make calculated risks unlike you that thinks businesses like this is like a casino with so many odds against you.

      ​@@claudiospies1905 I invest in luxury condos that cater to foreign executives with housing allowance. Straightforward formula, count the number of office buildings vs number of luxury condos. In my area there are only three luxury condos vs 10 new office buildings going up and the area is almost fully built up. For future investments, I look for 5 star hotels that are getting built as they have done all the research on the expected growth of a particular area, especially hotels that cater to executives. The way to secure tenants is through the Human Resources manager as they help newly arrived executives find a place to live. Once you get an international firm as a client, they will go with you for a very long time unless you provide really bad service. These firms usually bring in executives on two to four year contracts so you just have to know what type of units they prefer. Two-bed units are the safest to buy as foreigners will most often expect visitors. Dealing directly with HR people also bypasses brokers who will charge you one month's rent for commission.

    I assume Claudio is fluent in Thai. Without a lawyer or Thai partner, how is the average farang supposed to get up to speed in the fine print of ownership, Air BnB, or rental issues? Since Thailand is notoriously mired in paperwork details that shift all the time and since Thailand is notoriously, increasingly unfriendly to expats, isn't the proof of the pudding a successful outcome after a violation or lawsuit is settled in favor of the farang going it alone? I just have the feeling that a lone wolf farang would never be able to defend himself against Thai accusers. And what about Thai shakedown artists, primarily the police and inspectors?

    Buying Pattaya property as a superior alternative to other investments, such as stocks, ETF’s or even holding cash (in a higher interest rate environment) really needs to be thought about seriously. Some people just love property despite the drawbacks of investing in a tourist city which busts and booms with regularity. I guess it gives Claudio something to do as well, but I prefer lower risk investments, which over time, will most likely generate better returns, both growth and income, than Pattaya condo’s.

      Right now... Condo prices are normal with an older condo going for 750k to 900k in town.... Try the Yensabi condo block. The east side overlooking the pool is the side to buy. The west side gets loud music from the bars and the afternoon sun.

      Concern about Pattaya is the very tenuous state of economy, massive oversupply and empty condos. Also local people prefer not to buy "2nd hand". There are easier ways to make money.
