Really enjoyed the choices you showed, your commentary was right-on, and loved your slow pans and the fact that, unlike every other UA-camr, you didn't use the ridiculous fish-eye lens, which of course distorts the very fabric of reality. You've earned a subscriber. Keep 'em coming!
Omg.... THANK YOU so much for that! Someone GETS IT! ❤️ Appreciate the subscribe 😊
Triple the price for double the sq. meters. strange. Would prefer something a little bigger, but the prices don't seem right.
Great job with the tours though. Thank you.
What prices didn't seem right? I'm confused by your statement? We are in Pattaya now (high season) and the prices are even higher here for and sqmt! Thanks for watching
Great videos guys!!!! Very informative but not long and drawn out like most people do. Thanks!!!
Thank you for your feedback 😊
This was a great video with great information and tours. It would be a little more helpful if you could leave the prices on the screen for just a little bit longer. Some of us are a little older and a little slower lol!
Hi there! 👋 Awe, okay...... I'll keep that in mind for upcoming videos! Thanks for your feedback! 👍
Great video. I'm thinking of retiring in Thailand. I truly appreciate the info that you provide. Keep up the good work.
Awe, thank you so much! One more condo video coming out next week! I appreciate you feedback! Thank you for watching!
How is transportation in HuaHin, can we live there without a motorcycle?
That's a good question! Yes, you can! There are baht bus and tuk tuks and grab taxi's. If you choose to live central.... everything you need is in walking distance! 👍 great question and thank you for watching! ❤️
❤like it straight on no delay's ❤
Hi there! 👋 Thank you for your feedback! 👍
Any maintenance or other fees? Electric govt rates or condo rates?
Hi there! For a monthly rental, they didn't mention anything about maintenance fees, but almost every condo building was govt rates for utilities 👍great questions, I'll be sure to include those in our upcoming videos! 😊
Condo 88 stayed there long time 41sqm lovely complex and very quiet
Hi Peter! Yes, we really liked it there we thought it had great facilities! 👍 thank you for watching.! ❤️
Big thumbs up ! As i will be travelling solo I like the area of Marvest condo . Im an active swimmer too and that pool looks wonderful though could be very shallow . Any email address of property?
Well done for informative clip .
Hi there! Thank you for your feedback! If you are wanting to do booking before hand, you might be able to line something up through a website called property scout. They have varies places for rent on that site. Hope that helps. 👍 also, look in the description for more info! 😊
You did not give a price on the last Maysa unit.
Hi there! The Maysa was booked on airbnb and it was $550 CAD all inclusive! 👍
@@wattstravelingThank you so much for the condo video!
Interesting choices of condos. All relatively small with minute poorly equipped kitchens.
Coincidentally the same as someone else’s video.
Interestingly the 70+ SqM condo at ฿27,000 is priced higher than our 2 bed, 2 bath 80sqM apartment in Portugal and it’s 220 yds from a 4 mile beach! Granted, we don’t have a gym or pool but we do have a full size kitchen with worktops that can be used! 😊
That's good to know! Sounds like your place is a great price!
Wha Hin ?? Is that in China
Funny, yes..... I know I don't pronounce it like "who-a hin" like the locals. 🙃
Why not?@@wattstraveling
Still getting used to it. Lol
Minute 8 that condo layout was horrible. What's with that triangle shape room?
@@tiborzkarate1 🤣🤣🤣 RIGHT!
we are coming over next January for 3 months to see if we like the area.....have the visas changed now to 60 days and can you extend the them in Hua Hin
Hi there! I've heard that they are changing it to 60 days, yes.... starting June 1 this year but not sure when it will ACTUALLY start. You can renew your visa at the blueport mall, from what I understand! Have a great trip! 👍
Why would they use a Spanish name 😂. Well. Why not. I like the area next to the Hyatt Regency. So quiet
Exactly.... why not! 🤣🤣
Thanks for your viedo i have booked marvest for 5 nights in june for around 960 baht a night through agoda do you have contact details so i could take for a longer period at a cheaper rate thanks Tony
Hi there Tony! Look in the description I might have left a contact number for the Marvest. 👍
Our realtor Nick is only in Pattaya, and the property scout website will get you in contact with an agent....I really like this site. Hope that helps
Looking to visit for the month of January
Oh nice! Have a great trip! Weather is perfect right now 😉
Why was there netting over the balcony? The holes/grid looked too large to keep insects out.
Hi there 👋 birds can often make nests up on the Air-conditioning units making a messy, and also to just keep them off your balcony.... zero birds = zero poop 🤣🤣🤣👍
@7:11 notice the connections (water + drain) for a washing machine on the balcony
Yes! But talay does have insuite laundry 👍
Thanks for sharing your condo shop😊
Hi there Les! 👋 Thank you for coming along! 😊
Would any of these allow my one small cat? 🤔
Hi there.... some buildings allow pets anh some do not.... that's something you'd have to ask when looking.... but you can find lots of buildings that allow pets
Hi , new subscriber here , love your videos , can I ask a couple questions about this video ,.. I was wondering what month it was that you looked at these units ? , ( I’m going to be in Hua Hin this December) and was interested in staying at either La Casita or the 88 condo I was wondering… do you just walk into the complex and go to the office and see if there are units available, or do you have to call ahead, or go through a real estate agency ? Thanks you !
Hi there! We were there in October. We just walked right in and asked at each place. La Casita gave us a contact number and 88 showed us around. The contact number for LA Casita was in the video but I might have also put if it in the description.. thank you for subscribing, enjoy Hua Hin! 😍👍
@@wattstraveling thank you !
@johnmellyn2700 you are welcome
Why don’t you spend more than 2 seconds on the gyms
Hi Rick! Gyms are hard to film, I wanted to respect the people that are working out. 👍 But, point taken for the next one. 👍
Just how much laundry do you have that you need your own machine? Working full time @ 40 plus hours a week
When you live in a hot climate you are CONSTANTLY sweating through clothes.... it's not a question of HOW much laundry we have..... we just like to do our own laundry.
@@wattstraveling I spend my winters in Mexico and for me a clean shower and pool are more important, I pay $6 and drop my dirty cloths off at a laundry service but I get that you want to do it yourself as we all have something that makes us feel comfortable. Cheers !!
@hardrock55 oh yeah, I'm with you on having a pool 👍
I just book 2 months stay in la casita.
Oh AWESOME! you'll have to post back and tell us your experience! Have a great time
I was curious why there was netting off one of the balcony in the video?
What is the netting for? @ 7:15 minutes of the video
Hi there Tony! The netting is for birds, so they don't make nests up in the air conditioning Units or poop on the balconies! 👍
Great question! Thanks for watching
@@wattstraveling Be careful that there aren't gaps at the side of the netting... I live at 88 condo, had a net put up and there were gaps... You'd end up with nesting birds that couldn't fly off when they heard you coming!
Nice video!!
@pg.travels good to know, thanks! Thanks for your feedback, means alot! 😀
I live at the 88 Condo now for 6 months, and I hope to stay here much longer. In short, here is why:
Room size, rent price, clean, security, location, view, pool, gym, maintaining buildings and area, contact with office, cleaning and laundry service.
The only thing I am missing is a restaurant/bar but there are plenty of them in a 5 minutes drive with the motorbike.
Great video. I'm thinking of retiring in Thailand, but have never been to Asia. Have been leaning towards Jomtien because of affordability, baht bus routes, and expat communities. Any chance that you could describe how Hua Hin compares in these attributes? Thanks in advance.
Hi there! We've been to both and what we really like about Jomtien is the beach board walk, we REALLY missed that in Hua Hin. Hua hin is say is quieter then Jomtien, honestly, you can't go wrong with Jomtien for your first place to retire to in Thailand, it has everything you need! ❤️..... baht bus routes are easy and it's still very affordable! Great questions, good in retirement and thank you for watching! 😊
@@wattstraveling Appreciate your response, but still wondering if Hua Hin has baht bus routes and if it has much of an expat community. Also, would I be able to get by okay there without being able to speak Thai?
@KennyT56 👋.... yes you can definitely get by with minimal thai.... but it's always nice to learn some. Hua hin has a big expat community too with lots of organized sports / events like pickle ball, yoga, volleyball and golf. They also have baht bus routes but we never used them because we had a scooter, but many people do! Hope that helps
@@wattstraveling Helps very much. thank you, and best wishes to both of you. Am going to subscribe and watch more of your videos. They are done very well.
@@wattstraveling Might take me awhile before I'm brave enough to drive a scooter in Thailand, so I'm planning on getting around by walking, baht bus, and bolt taxis, and bicycle at the start.
Thanks great videos. How easy is it to get short term (one month ) rental on average. We are retired and can hopefully find places to pause on our trip around the globe. Thanks again 👍
@anyplaceadventures essential all places will rent for 30 days..... it's just at a higher rate than a longer term rent is all. 👍 thanks for your feedback, appreciate your question and taking the time to watch! 👍
@@wattstraveling thanks for the reply, glad we found your channel, great info 👍
@@anyplaceadventures thank you! 😊
I really appreciate how you laid out this video. Clear names of the condos. Not long winded. Great, spot on commentary. Prices well laid out/viewable. Thank you. Liked and Subscribed!
La Casita, the first condo was my favorite
Thank you! There's lots to choose from! 👍
nice.. condo 88 my favourite
Yes, I agree, it was very nice!
I tried to contact the la casita property comp and no one responded.
That's a shame.... yes, when we went there they gave us the information to call. What can I say, it's Thailand and sometimes answering calls or getting back to you can be a longer process then we'd like.
Too small n older style
Yeah, some might think these are small.... but honestly, we don't spend much time in the condo.... there's so much to explore! It will say, older buildings are very well built and quite, unlike the newer builds with paper thin walls! 👍
Wua Hin ? I don't need your advice.
🤣.....I didn't say you needed it?
Why the hate? Be nice
Great info .. in Thailand now and yet to visit Hua Hin .. contender for retirement plan..great helpful videos ..thank you ..iv subscribed :) Philip from UK
Hi Philp from the UK! I appreciate your feedback, thank you! Hua Hin is definitely a place to check out! More videos like this to come from the Pattaya area, stay tuned this Sunday....👍
La Casita
La Casita was beautiful! Great choice! 👍 thank you for watching
Great vid. Very helpful. I’ve watched you guys since last year and might have missed something. But you guys haven’t found a place yet? If so what area did u wind up in and approx how much did u pay. We’re currently in hua him and aren’t that impressed.
Hi there James! We didn't find one long term, I think we find Hua Hin a bit sleepy.....? We are still looking, currently in Pattaya with more condo videos to come...... we are always condo shopping in-between our adventures 🤣
Marvest would be my choice. The pool looks good for swimming, I have seen the gym on other videos and it’s good . I like being next to Soi 80 for the bars and restaurants . There is a good market close .
Hey there Rick! I agree, the Marvest was very nice and easy to get around from there! 👍
Can you rent for a year or more please
You can find many options to tact long term for sure! With long term rentals being more afford than short-term 👍
@@wattstraveling thank you so much for your reply I’m thinking of retiring over in Thailand but go and check it out first thank you Norman
Good plan Norman, it's not for everyone. Have a great time
What are the different features of Pattaya and Hua Hin? What should you consider when choosing between the two cities?
@Letitbe5888 hi there! 👋 I feel the biggest difference with these two locations is the beach front. There is no beach road in Hua Hin and that's something we enjoy. We enjoy walking along the beach with all the vendors and restaurants..... we found Hua Hin to be a little more sleepy which could be a good or bad thing depending on what you want. Pattaya is closer to the airport if that's something you have to consider....? Over all it's a person preference or a feeling once you've experienced them both. 👍
@@wattstraveling thank you very much ^&^
@@Letitbe5888 you are welcome
@@wattstraveling I see you are in Danang these days. I guess you are traveling the world. I hope you have a great time.
@Letitbe5888 yes we are!... still looking for our new home away from home. Off to Albania soon..... we've been in SEA for awhile exploring.... now we are trying something different 👍
Ty for the video .
Huan hin is more expensive than
Bkk 😅 maybe the beach make it so high
BKK is an area I'd like to price condos! 👍
Hi, thanks for the information. I stayed in la Casita last year and I liked it. I find that prices on Airbnb are quite higher than what you show. The one 450$cad was it with the bedroon separate from the living by a glass door?
Hi there! Honestly, airbnb has gone CRAZY!... it's not the same as it used to be when it first came out.... now it seems as tho greed has taken over and what you'd pay in maybe Canada or the USA is the same price in developing countries.... and that's simply not the actual case if you look local!... i find it frustrating! Yes, 450 with a glass door/separation.... we've stayed in many condos like this, even tho they are small it's nice for what little separation you get. Thank you so much for your feedback, means a lot!
Thanks for this, very interested in staying in Hua Hin.
Hi there! You are very welcome!
La casita sounds good for those that don’t have transportation
Yes you are right! It's a great location for sure! 👍
Thanks for all the info guys. Planning to spend longer periods of time in SE with my better half and this definitely helps!
Oh that's good to hear! Thanks for your feedback, means a lot!
Great job! Love the information and enthusiasm.
Thank you! Hoping to do more when we get back in January and explore a different area! 😊
The quieter location of Condo 88 is attractive as a place to live, while a downtown location would appeal to holiday visitors.
Yes, this was exactly our thought too! 👍
Maysa was big enough for what we needed and a good price also! It was out of town, so a little quieter too! 👍
want to move from Buriram...thanks
Hi there! 👋 is definitely a place that had it all and not too crazy busy! 👍than you for watching! 👍
.
..👋
Yes , they do it very nice ! Detailed !
@@peterurban3360 thank you! Much appreciated ❤️
Hello. I wonder of you are still vacationing in Hua Hin. Have Explorer the area south of Hua Hin called Khao Tao?
We came a few days ago, just settling in. We wonder if you know of any “Song Taew” that runs between Hua hin and Khao Tao?
We have a small child so cannot ride scooter with him.
Thanks to anyone who could help answer my question. 😊
Yes, Khao Tao is very nice! We didn't use any "song taew" because we had a scooter, sorry that's one thing we didn't figure out were the routes are. I hope others can answer you
@@wattstravelingthank you so much. We hope to go to cicada and tamarind for some food. I enjoyed watching that video 😊
@@keisun10 thank you.... you'll love the markets! Great Vibes at both
88 condo
Yeah, that's a great place! 👍
@@wattstraveling soi 88 good and popular
What's the price of Maysa?
Hi there! We stayed there 1 month, all inclusive for 550CAD! Thank you so much for asking...... and for watching! 😊
You are the best!!!!
Awe, thank you! 😊
To the point bravo!
Thanks 👍
I can see why you chose Maysa - stylish outside, plain but practical inside. ✌
Yes, it was big enough for what we needed and quiet because it was out of town! 👍
@@wattstraveling but you never gave the price.?
Hi there....I know, silly of me.... but it think because it talked about it on this video I linked below. But 34sqmt 550CAD.....👍
ua-cam.com/video/8-tKUI7s3ak/v-deo.htmlsi=3F5WyM_hXW7aewVs
Where are they located in relation to the foreshore?
As you'll see if you watched the video, the locations are in the video. Also, locations are in the description 👍
@@wattstraveling Chill....
@@bikepacker9850I'm completely chill. I was directing you to where you could find the info if you missed it in the video 👍
Nice video editing btw how much was Maysa?
Hey, thank you, much appreciated. Maysa was 500CAD per month 👍I can't believe I forgot to add it in! 🙄 silly me! Thank you for watching
@@wattstraveling Thanks! Will you be doing something similar for Hanoi? (ie showing places to rent) Appreciate your videos 👍 Slow traveling life round the world? Or base is in one place?
@Zerinth hi there. We didn't do any condo videos for Hanoi, because frankly it's not a place is want to live (great to visit) however, we WILL be heading back to Vietnam, Da Nang.... to price condos. We are looking for a home base, while slow traveling to the countries we think we'd like to live in! 👍
@@wattstraveling thank you very much Da Nang was also on my list! (planning slow travel for end of this year)
@@Zerinth Awesome! Have a great time! We love slow travel! ❤️
Thanks for great condo informations. What Hua Hin hotel do you recommend to stay a couple days when research condo? Thanks so much!
Hi there! If you are only coming to Hua Hin for a few days (I don't know what your budget is, or if you like the beach) but staying central would probably be best..... like around the LA casita area or marvest. They are both close to everything you need. There are so many hotels... there's even a Hilton right on the beach, if that's something you are interested in 👍 Thank you for watching, we appreciate your feedback 😊
@@wattstraveling Thanks for your response. I plan spent a few days in hotel to search for a condo to stay about 1 month. Love to go to night market and seafood. If we really like the area, we might live there when we retire. Casita seems to be a great area. I will check marvest also. This remind me the fun I had while living in Singapore a few years ago.
@@Tuanlauwwhat hotel did you end up staying at and did you find a condo you liked?
@Chris-dw6cu we stayed at The Maysa..... but it's out a little ways from the center... we had a scooter so location farther out wasn't a concern for us. We booked the Maysa for just a couple days initially to see if we liked it, we ended up liking it and luckily it was available so we booked it for the month. 👍
@@wattstraveling thanks for sharing your experience. Have you been asked to pay deposits in your monthly rentals in Thailand? I have been communicating with an agent in huahin about a condo there and she quoted me the price 14k baht but also a deposit of 14k. Is this common and if so is there any way to get them to waive the deposit? For me paying a a deposit that high for a one month rental is pure loss since I'll just have to convert it to USD when I leave and receive less back through the conversion. I guess that's one benefit of Airbnb - you don't need to worry about deposits. But the downside is the inflated prices
Nice video 😊
Thank you for your feedback!
Great video guys...so practical! Subscribed.
Thank you so much for your feedback, means a lot! ❤️
I'm 60 and likely leaving western Canada in a year. Budget will be about 3000 CDN and I'm leaning toward Cambodia but still researching. Thanks again@@wattstraveling
@@humbertsmith8864 two great choices! Good luck and enjoy!
@humbertsmith8864 Me too, 60 Vancouver Island. Been going to Thailand/ Hua Hin for 20 years. I'll be retiring there, Chiang Mai or Jomtien/Pattaya area. probably Hua Hin. You'll love it !
You are welcome! Enjoy the move 👍
hi, is this high season prices??
Hi there, these prices are based on long term (yearly) rental so the high season doesn't apply
@@wattstraveling oh ok and thank you so much
@@wattstravelingcan you do 6 month rental for that price
4
Thanks for watching! Good pick 👍
It's pronounced whoa hin not whar hin there's so many people get this wrong it's irritating even some Thai say wrong as they got used to going along with it enjoy your stay
Many people pronounce things differently..... I'm curious how YOU pronounce Huawei?...... is it
whoa -wei? I speak and pronounce things as they are in English..... we had a great stay thank you 😁
@@wattstraveling not differently correctly it's amazing how people cannot accept there wrong and take some friendly advice,it's Thai not English glad having good time
@garyhind1405 I understand how people can't accept when THEY ARE wrong..... but I don't read or speak Thai only English so when I'm trying to learn how to pronounce things, I sound it out in English and yup.... I'll get them wrong.... like many people do.....traveling is all about learning, and that's exactly what I'm doing. 👍
@@wattstraveling ok that's great glad could help
Overpriced for the region.
Well, if you think these are over priced you might like this week's video! 👍
I'm curious to know what your experience is with rentals in Hua Hin, we traveled all over the region and this seemed to be the range of pricing for 1 bedrooms?
@@wattstravelingyes it definitely seems to depend on how long you want to contract for even directly through the owners. We were walking into condos south and north of Hua Hin and asking the juristic office if they had any long stay. We've bargained our price down by having a six month contract rather than month to month.
Yes, definitely get a better deal if you can stay longer! 👍
Hwa Hin (Hua Hin)
Lol...yes.....I understand it's who"a" hin.....I can't be the only English person who pronounces it as it's spelled 🤣🤣🤣
Hi
I really enjoyed the vid
I’m new to your channel
Any chance of putting Australian prices in too please
Thanks
💐💐
Hi there! Thank you so much for subscribing! Yes, I'll keep that in mind in future videos 👍thanks for the feedback and for watching, means a lot! ❤️
i love your channel so much information's that expat needs.
Awe, thank you for your feedback! We like to explore countries slowly this way it gives us a good idea whether or not we want to live full time! We like to try and capture all our experiences, good and bad.... to give our community the sense of realism. There are too many channels that only show the rainbows... and for us that's not realistic! Thank you so much for watching, means a lot!
