I feel like all these new places are kinda the same. Small rooms with everything squeezed in. I'd much rather have an older bigger room with metal security doors and a sea breeze for half the price.
Kings please stop paying $700 for ANY condo. You control the market in Thailand and if you are willing to pay these prices, they will continue to rent them out for that price. Condos that were the most luxury 8 years ago are still in A1 condition and can be rented out for $150 to $200 less. People keeping wanting the newest, but fail to understand you can rent the same quality and amenities in Pattaya or a tad outside the centre for much cheaper. Things are only worth what foreigners are willing to pay.
@@MyChannel-qw3ew You need to learn how to read. No one said you could get a $200 condo. I stated you can get a condo for $150 to $200 less than this one is advertised is. READING IS FUNDAMENTAL.
Great, do you have a name of a place that is very similar in nature but with a larger floor plan and the lower price. I would appreciate the consultation. Thx!
@@huagrapo I agree with you my brotha. It's amazing how many grown men are simply stupid. I'm amazed at the financially child like minds when it comes to retirement or moving abroad.
Random comment: your videos are informative, precise, comprehensive, visually pleasing yet relevant, and the overall delivery is relaxing. Keep up the good work.
My best friend bought 2 condos here and suffers 'buyers regret'. I have visited him there so these are my honest impressions....The buildings are all too close together so the pool that goes all the way around is cold, freezing cold which is why you didn't see anyone swimming in it. I think only 1 of the other pools gets any sun to warm up the water. The rooftop is completely wasted space and no one goes up there. If you don't have a bike the development is very difficult to get to, there is no direct route from 3rd Road instead you have to go almost in a circle to get there, down side roads plagued with Soi dogs. The condos are very small, I think they are 25m2, the 1st one we saw might be 30 because it has a double balcony. I wouldn't buy a condo on the ground floor as most have sun loungers parked outside. The development does look impressive when you 1st see it but it suffers from significant design flaws......
Interestingly the Global Top Group has started building a new development not too far away. It fixes some of the problems. There are only 4 blocks and they appear to be further apart and it has swimming pools on the roof and on all sides!!!!! They are also about 0.5M baht cheaper
There's no changing rooms for the pools, no outside showers and no toilets on the roof. The outside pools have spa areas but they're all broken already....The whole development is very short of communal space and amenities
The units are small with no storage and no power points and the fold down bed is an expensive optional extra (about £1K) - it also doesn't look very sturdy so I don't know how long it will last if you like 'aerobics'. If you don't want the fold down bed, then be aware that the storage surround is fitted......And don't get me started on the stupid slidey doors that don't even close properly....
I used the swimming pool back in november and didn't feel it freezing. I was ok with the temperature even though that wasn't the hottest climate of Thailand To be honest though, I used the pool only once in a 3 months stay, but the only reason is I was skeeping very late and also waking up very late most of the time. And I would work on my computer for a while and by the time I finished working the sun would start going down and didn't feel like using the pool when it goes dark and silent and make noise with each and every sroke with my poor swimming technique 😅 Almost everyday, there was a couple with their kid in the swimming pool and they always seemed to have great fun. The unit I was staying in In Barcelona building was ok sized. I don't know if was 30sqm or less but didn't feel living in a shoe box. Even thouhj, I wish it was bigger, but couldn't complain for a 3 months stay. If I were staying 1year or more, I would want something bigger. You're right there are no showers around the pool. But I think there's a shower in the gym, I'm not sure. As for the storage, I couldn't complain either as I had enough for myself. Maybe for a couple it would be different. There are a few stray dogs but I never saw moee than 3 together on ant single day I was there. Usually I saw only one or two stray dogs every time I left the condo to go do my errands at 7/11. But it's not easy to walk back and forth to 3rd road in that street. Overall, I would stay again and would recommend it as a holiday maker. But I woulldn't buy a unit to live there if I could afford. As an investment, I have zero competency to know what property is good for investment, so I would stay silent.
Pricing is a bit ridiculous. Both the 1 bedroom and the 2 bedroom should be at least 5k cheaper per month. They are asking for an arm and a leg for such small living spaces.
I lived at Olympus for 3 months at the 18,000thb price plus one month security. I had a great time here....and at the end they were very honest with the checkout electric, water and cleaning deductions. Its a good place.
I think having to fold your bed away every morning would become a pain in the chuff very quickly! I imagine these condos will change hands very quickly
The apartments are overpriced especially when they are boxes of rooms when you can find larger rooms and the rental price is hell of a lot cheaper but was impressed with the outdoors and the amenities
The bed would be a palaver every day. The condo would be too small for me. The 42 sq/m one is expensive at 25K. I'd rather have an older, bigger much cheaper place. Nick J
Stayed there multiple times, very convenient location, awesome facilities, security never asks questions which is great when you have visitors over 😂 From the parking lot you go straight up to your floor… in the rooftop is an awesome place to get some tanning, never very busy. Love this place 🤗
Thanks for the video daz , the complex looks very nice , but sadly the rooms are so small , it reminds me of hotel rooms in Hong Kong , so tiny for 100k U.K. pounds, I will look elsewhere, the girls are lovely , so funny
The 1 bed one to buy is a decent price. A bit expensive to rent. A bit on the small side too. Who would want to lift their bed up and down everyday for more space? A bit pushed for space to leave your bed down.
I am not quite sure if these are the same condo units that were offered for sale in 2011. They are still on the planning stage at that time. It has similar concept of long pool with greeneries on the sides. Really a beautiful place.
Positive: reasonably well located. Well priced (IMO) Negative: Murphy bed (what are they thinking?), really small and inadequate gyms. Hmmm! I have decided to move back to Pattaya but have not decided where I will live. Quiet and a really good gym are big issues. Initially, I will stay at the Centara near Soi 6 but will have to find something more permanent, of course.
I would want the 2 bed as a minimum, but at only just over 40m2 at nearly 700 Euro it isn't that cheap, but it is nice enough. I have seen more apartment for THB25,000 p/m. It is still cheap compared to the UK, but not that cheap for Thailand. I would probably follow the comments of others and either look to pay less or get more space with an older place. Thanks for the video though Daz.
With the rental prices going up and the cost of flights etc Thailand is fast becoming not the bargain it used to be and to be quite honest I'm starting to think of Spain or similar as a better option where you can safely swim in the ocean and the beaches aren't full of trash.
Cracker box! Way to small I would go crazy in that place! It is so small it’s only worth 150.00 a month! They should put queen size beds in these small apartments
Thanks for the video, very informative. I have looked at this complex and on FB there are ads for rental (which like others the price has been creeping up). Some are smaller than 30sqm @ 8-11Kpm.
I appreciate you work, very valuable. You do have a list of pertinent questions for management. However, could you add are the condo's pet friendly to your list of questions?
I'm looking for a 30-day condo rental short-term around January to February of 2024 I appreciate your feedback somewhere in between walking Street tree-town close to Beach Road
Hi... you really should finally make a video on the situation and cost of doctors, medicine and hospitals. Anybody can get sick anywhere. It's a very important topic.
I would never buy a condo in Pattaya or Jomtien, way overpriced. I’m coming to Thailand over 20 years now and in my opinion Pattaya is good for a holiday, but not for living
May I ask a question...I am coming there in jan24 to visit to see if this could be my first retirement stop. Would it be proper to ask a real estate agent what would 70-90K bht would get me??? I am retiring in late 2024ish. Would a real estate agent at least be able to show me an online listing if they don't want to cart me around town to see a few rental properties? Thank you for your time!
Daz, I do see foreigners with scootmobiles in Thailand. They must have care facilities or accessible hotels for them. In Pattaya too? What do they cost? There must be a market for less able pensioners, Spain, etc have care hotels with doctors, nurses, fysio, etc. Has Thailand created its own niche yet?
Another Pattaya blogger has done a video on assisted living in Pattaya and Thailand. There are whole condo developments catering to this market for a fraction of the cost in the West
Stack'em and pack'em i call these new condos popping up all over, sorry not in a million years i would Invest in these tiny tiny cells, just my opinion, but the place surrounding are very nice. 2.4 mil Bath you can get a whole house with garden gated community with community pool..
I like the spacious balcony and or patio on the first room shown but the second one is more suitable for my taste. The folding bed room is a good optional for traveling digital nomads. I love the price of both the condos.
The rooms, especially the 2-bedroom suites, are far too claustrophobic for the price. Why two full bathrooms in the 2-bedroom? What a waste of space! The living area is practically non-existent.
V speaks? English? Beautiful building too. Professional host. A lot of walking in wet grass? Doesn't seem right for the price, but then nothing does these days.
This place has even smaller shoebox rooms than lots of others that I’ve seen…far too small & not practical for long term living esp with fold up beds etc…plus not much in the way of views at all as in city centre…surrounded by sois. It’s a def no from me!!🤔🙄🙏🏼
The truth is, you can't buy a house in your name only. Then a condo is the next best option. Or paying rent until you die. Actually Pattaya in 6-8 years will be different in many ways. And I think the new Pattaya will no longer be so attractive to fun-loving farangs.And it won't be cheap to live either.
They have been saying that for years , pattaya is going to change . Who's going to replace the farangs, spending there money . The Chinese , I don't think so
