- Today we continue our house hunt in Pattaya and move the price range up to $300 to $500 US Dollars or 10-15k Baht. The House Hunt today will start in the Pattaya Jomtien area and take us far into East Pattaya as we look at 3 houses, each with a different setting and personality. We conclude thinking we have found the right level of house but will start focusing on location for the next round.

Great presentation, Lucus, very well put together. Each place had it's once special touch and it's a matter of weighing up the pros and cons.
I always enjoy watching your videos, thank you for your time and effort
I really don't know why you want to be so close to central Pattaya. I've been renting a house near Theprasit & Soi 3 for 6 months and I really like it. Central Pattaya / walking street is only 8 minutes away via motorbike & Jomtien is about a 6 minute ride. Being between the two best parts of Pattaya gets you a good centralized location and you get a lot of house for the money.
Yeah, that sounds pretty good.
Is there a good website to search for a house or do you recommend going with an agent?
Once you are more than a couple of kilometers out of town, it doesn't make much difference, you are using bike or car to get around .
Another great video mate thank you, I did like the 3rd house. Love these videos as I’m hoping to move there permanently in the next 18/24 months. So it gives me an idea of what I’m looking at. Thanks again mate. Gary
Glad you enjoyed
I think Vee’s favorite is my favorite too! The modern western style kitchen with oven was a real plus. Also the herb garden and waterlilies gave the place a homey feeling.
Great show! Stay cool 😎 kind and generous!
Soi Khao Talo turns into a river when the rains come (see some of the recent videos). You might be able to get some kayaking in. Probably not so bad up the hill where Vee's house is.
You don't need to be in soi kow talo to live in the dark side and still be in a nice quiet secure village with a pool 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
Awesome tour thanks Lucas 🇺🇸🇹🇭🇦🇺🤟🍺
I was paying 18,000 baht for a nice condo in Jomtien, but moved to a house with garden nice country lifestyle for 12,000 No where near Pattaya but there is more to life than Pattaya. I like house hunting.
Look forward to the next step up.
Love the series. Thanks.
House 3 is a winner. Had a good vibe.
It's a very good time to be looking.
Boy was I wrong. This house is really nice. What a deal It looks nice and clean. Love the layout. Kinda like a Condo all on one floor.
I liked the first one as well loucas for the location, but sure get more for your buck the further out you go. Hope you and vee can agree on a place your both happy with! Agree with you now is a good time to be looking as it's a buyer's market. All the best.
Thank you for the video, appreciated. It confirms though I personally prefer my condo with a nice view, common garden with grass and swimming pool.
Getting more interesting by the episode!
I vote for number 3. Thanks for the ride
Good morning from California. It's Saturday I like all the houses you show today Take your time to look for it
👍👍👍
Third on looked nice. Looking forward to more.
nice place and affordable without breaking the bank that first one. .... no stairs is a winner. ... 10,000baht would be a winner
LIked the First House in todays search the Best!!!
Miss Thailand so much !!! In Sha' Allah soon it will be possible to go back !!!!
Great info for someone thinking of relocating there! The dollar does go farther than in the U.S. Thanks...excellent channel.
cool choices, as always! I like the 2nd and 3rd ones too. I liked the woodwork on the 2nd one, but i think I liked the 3rd one a bit more over all. Do you typically have to care for the lawn/exterior? or is that part of rent? I look forward to what you guys have in store for the next video!
Thanks for the episode. I think I could go for one further from city center, with more ground space for a garden. I'm sure that you'll find what you like.
I like the 1st one the best. Thanks for this video it gives me more options/ideas for my retirement accommodations,.
So many options available. 👍👍
I absolutely agree with you about the money, car salesmen, estate agents etc. given a budget figure always ignore your lower figure and take your top as a target to be hit or exceeded rather than trying to find you value for money. I guess you have to keep in mind they aren't working for you they are at best, working for the vendor or worst chasing their best commission payoff.
That last one is really pretty.... But I did like the woodwork in the second.
Another great bid. Cheers mate!!
Thanks 👍
Your voice is meant for podcasting/radio. Great find
Liked the third house. First was nice but not a fan of wallpaper and burglar bars. Loving the search and thanks for sharing.😎
Thanks Eleanor 👍
I rather go with Vee's choice... The third house looks very nice especially the safety box which was attached to the wall... She can keep some of her valuable shrimps over there so it will not be stolen 🤣🤣🤣
Could come in handy 🤣🤣🤣
2nd and third houses were fine and dandy 👍👍
House Hunters International Rides 4 Kickz style. I like it.
👍👍👍
I really enjoy your property videos.
Glad to hear it!
I love Jomtien. Quiet an calm, but only a 10 minute bath bus ride from Pattaya if the need for partying overwhelms you :) (and also smack dab on the bath bus route to Pattaya)
True! You can always take a motorbike taxi home if you overindulge. Central Pattaya is totally overrated. Why live in a condo when you can get a really nice house at the same price?
Yes, good point, should have mentioned that, the baht bus can be very valuable in certain areas.
I hope you can show some houses in central Pattaya in that range. Will be interesting to compare. Great series. Cheers.
👍👍👍
Nice upgradation! Approved! Happy Hunting!
Thanks Mickey.
Very good representation of what you get for 300 to 500 dollars a month. So many options. Thank you Loucous.
My pleasure! Yeah, I think that is pretty close to what you can expect, but there are bargains, just have to see them first and jump on them quick or else they are gone.
I vote number 3... Good show sir...
Thanks James 👍
The great thing about houses in Thailand is most properties are 100% paved. No grass to mow.
I would choose the very 1st one in a heart beep over the other 2's due to the approximity of the beach where I can go jogging anytimes I wanted with fresher air.
yeah, not to mention close to the big market. Just didn't like being surrounded by tall buildings 🤣
Hi loucous and Vee good choices of houses tonight but it's very hard to pick the right one. But I'm sure you will find it soon. Stay safe
Yes, Fingers crossed! Thanks Maureen
Thanks for your videos. Very entertaining and informative. Could you make a video about pool villas and the pros and cons (e.g. location)? How would it be to life in a gated (thai) community, being one of the few foreigners within the village.
The 3rd one 👌🏾
Love the intro music, I was expecting Clint Eastwood to make a cameo appearance..!!
Very nice houses……nice video today!
Thank you!
House much better bang for the buck - definitely more space - can get to anywhere easily by motorbike. Having a complete room as an office is a must for me, can also have a BBQ too. I'd rent the 3rd house and would eventually want to replace the furniture with my own furniture that I'd buy over a period of time. East Pattaya is the area I'd look.
A house suits you guys for sure. Nice looking residential areas in that area. Secure, private parking is a great benefit of having a house. Rent is definitely higher up in your area than here, but 15k is not bad for those homes. Cheers
Very true
I think Vee was spot on with her choice, I really thought this property would be ideal choice, I would keep it in mind, once you tweak it, it would be a great place to stay.
That last house was So busy with tiles and colours , it would do my head in 🤔😱😱
Happy Weekend Loucas,Vee and Folks 🙏👋😎👍
Same to you!
You didn't mention that the first place had a small pool out front. Or will when it rains. Thanks for the video.
Some decent looking houses there.
I've seen a few good looking villa's for rent/sale with private pools in decent locations. Most in the 20-30k range. I imagine I'd get a 50% discount at the moment. I'm more interested in renting than buying but I see some great deals for sale. 👍
Good video Loucas 👍✌️🙏
Yes, there are some deals like that out there.
If ur a foreigner DO NOT BUY!!! Rent.
Yeah, I've no intention of buying. I was just saying there's some great deals out there.
Chicks are extra there big guy! ✝️🍺🎱
I liked both 2 and3 the only problem is location I would also like to be in Central pattaya. Good luck with your house hunting
Just watched the video. Talked to the GF in the past about going to Khao Talo because I’ve seen many nice places. She said too many flooding problems there too.
FLOODING ! Hello guys have you done elevation checks and investigated potential for flood effects on the areas ? Just a suggestion after last weeks hurricanes . Enjoy stay safe !
Yes, just had the biggest flood here in 10 years. No water in any of those properties. Actually makes right now the perfect time to look.
Be careful about renting villas along 1st to 3rd road from the beach as these will get flooded when it rains, those on the Eastern part near nong prue that are on higher ground will not be affected, but u will need to own a car or bike to get around.
One cheap form of transportation is to custom make a bike with sidecar. Can load groceries onto the side car when hitting the supermarkets too
Vee needs to start her own youtube channel. Eat, Pray & Live. Covering Fashion (she always looks cute on your crazy trips and packs great clothes no matter if you are staying in an igloo or 5 Star Condo), Cooking (and Eating of course) and the people of Thailand. It would be great to see Thailand from the viewpoint of a Native Thai person.
nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
first few seconds of your video exemplifies our 'new home' ,the bored employee stabbing away at his phone totally ablivious to all and sundry
Hi Lucas. I kind of like the idea of the community pool. Something you will definitely miss if you don't have it!
Very true!
Koa Talo house is nice surprise me ! wow 15,000 that's not bad for what you get. , better idea than a condo
I vote for #3.
I liked the 1st house too, though if you think you might be doing more at home entertaining (with a bigger place), the 3rd might fit the bill better.
Eenie, meanie, minie, mo. I was nearly stumped. But would've whittled it down to either 1 or 3. The motorcycle parking around the back played a key factor for me.
That tile work in them all is hideous,I can only imagine the craftsmanship of the rest of it.
I have a plane ticket for the Phuket Sandbox on October 31st. I then plan to make Thailand my home base. I will be going to Hue Hin to find a rental. Staying away from Pattaya because of the flooding. I've not heard that Hue Hin has a flooding problem. But with this climate crisis I am sorry to say that could change. Enjoy watching your house hunting vlogs as it does gives me a starting point and what prices I should search in. Sawadee krub
Nice 👍
Go for a house on the east side maybe out by nong mai gen by the elephant village, beautiful houses out there peaceful and quiet if that's what your looking for, have a house there myself, only ten minute drive into city.
Yeah,Vee choice is the best today, the only thing I would change is those pots, stagnant water is a breeding ground for you know what 🦟 The finish and furnishings are really good and of course the location is okay too. 🙏for the video Lucas 👍
Just put in some Colourful Fancy Guppyfish and you will have no problem with mosquitos! ;)
Good point!
@@plahgatsthailand8465 I really didn’t know that.🙏for the tip👍
House number 1 is the best location, plus on the baht bus route and close to beach
Jomtien area full of good sized clean baans ! Stay off the main drag sois for less pollution and traffic noise !
Better to reside by a Wat then a all night beer bar ! Sold my two room View Talay 1 condo in 2005 !
Many new villas and condos built around there since ! Wish my mortgage payments were $500/mn !
Villas and townhomes are also worth looking into ! More southeast you go some nice subdivisions around !
Try Naklua !
I like the first and third house. Anyway, is there security?
As a single guy I gravitate to the high rise condo lifestyle. But I can see the appeal of this series for younger guys with families or guys who are used to single family homes. Not my cup o tea. But well done and good value selections Lucas.
Great tune in tonight. I will unveil Pattaya's newest high rise condo, never before seen.
Some nice places there, personally i liked the third one , 😁👍
Good choice!
We are also currently looking new rates house.. Interesting how much the market is moving at the moment
Yep, these are pretty typical... Heh, I was looking around the foothills, and liked near the polo fields so hopefully 3-4 price range increases to go before you get around to making a vid about them... lol
Can you please add this series into a playlist so as and when you add new videos to the series they're easy to find...thanks
I think there all good and far better value than a condo.
That's a good place for the price. I spend 1000.00 a month for this place, Most people are spending 1200- 14000 hundred for an apartment.The third one is great and my Pick also and I don't think much of Vee pick of any thing. Remember somebody's got to clean the place! and keep it up. The second was to much Maintenance.And cleaning.Thanks for the Video really like this kind of Videos.
Thanks Denny 👍
You haven't mentioned the internet options/speed available at the properties. Any with fiber?
Pool across the street worked for me
Wow those prices are great. You only viewed three, I can imagine the rest of the houses you haven't seen. 👍
That's true!
Me and my mother are about to go to Pattaya next year is there any way you guys can provide us information on the second property it'll be greatly appreciated. Is there any way you could provide me information on the third location also. It will be greatly appreciated as we will be new to the area
Very interesting what you can get for your money. 😎😎
Indeed! 👍
Wow, I am impressed👍 what fantastic homes you can rent for 500$ or less.
We agree!
i pay twice that amount to lease a site at beach front RV Resort here on Padre Island , really happy my Motor Coach and Mercedes are debt free !! Jomtien beach condo , $300 usd , leave me with funds for girls and cocktails , YEA im on board , no POISON VAX for ME , no quarintine for me , soooo when im ready for my next Adventure way more likely looking at Baja , Playas de Tijuana , Rosarito , Ensenada , 65 degrees at nite , 75 day , San Diego minutes away , use my U.S. benefits
Request - If you could do a tour of homes that are in the typical USA range of $1,500 to $2,000 a month and let us see what we could get for a typical rental/mortgage payment in the states these days. That would be very interesting for my wife and me, and I assume others would be interested.
That first house you could put a ping - pong table & home gym there ?
That's how much I'm paying for a studio in Mexico. I forget how great the prices are in Thailand. But in Mexico it is easier to stay and less hassle about the visa.
My thoughts on 1st one, same as u would feel looked upon by condo inhabitants. Great Tip from you, is to ask lower than your budget, be interesting to me, to know if they allow pets.
Yes, I'll be sure to ask that 👍
I wouldn't want a wet bathroom. After a shower, everything in the bathroom would be wet. I'd want a closed in shower or tub. I agree with Vee, the third one was the better of the three. I'd be very concerned with street flooding more than how far it is from the city. You really need a garage to restore that 64 Ford you found.
The first one looks like only one or two min walk to Thappraya road. Where you can get a baht bus to Jomtien or central Pattaya for 10 Baht. For those without a vehicle . Would be my choice.
Thanks for showing this option. Just curious, would you need a car living in that area or is a motorcycle plenty enough? Mostly wondering about buying groceries.
Thanks so much!
Can get by with a bike, you can always get groceries delivered as well. But having a car may make it more convenient.
For me as a single person number one would be right for me, I would need more storage though, but I don't like the location, I think I would be lonely there, Number 2 was a complete no, no, and number 3 just didn't seem to gel and was too far from baht bus routes.
if you get a house , make sure its got a portch out front , a 911 turbo would be good .
👍 I love it, everybody's a comedian.
First, love, LOVE this series! I'm about 6 months out from retirement and housing is such a huge question.
I thought the first home for $450/mo was a great deal! I can see you setting up a little mancave with tools and maybe even a project bike in the back!
I know I have no right to demand or even request you add to your videos, but I'm gonna!😂
Can you please ask about pet policy? I have a German Shepherd and I will not even consider leaving him.
Next, I have a question; The realtor said that this is listed for 20000 bought but believe you can get it for 15000 bought. Is around 5000 bought per month the standard discount one can expect? Knowing this will really help me with my Internet searching.
Last thing... Don't stop! These are so informative!
I will be looking for homes in the $800 to $900 range so I'll be interested to see what that can get me.
Again, THANKS! This is really good stuff!
Yes, I will try and remember to ask about pets, thats a good point. The listing price thing is because the homes have been rentals for years. Some have not lowered their listing prices but will take considerably less right now because the market has changed over the last 2 years.
I've wouldn't even consider the thought of leaving the best dog in the world, I had 2 AKC registered German shepherds, and I'm one year from retirement, and in excellent health due to never being married and most people think that I'm in my forties I was just blessed with great jeans.
With all the flooding around pattaya and the railway tracks, your better off getting a house way out on the east side be quieter as well.
