Nice one dude. Good info. My condo is owned by someone in China but managed by a local company. Lowered the price by signing for a year. Absolutely no issues with them. Brand new, fully furnished condo in Pratumnak close to the beach, never lived in for a quarter the price of Vancouver where I'm from. Fantastic.
What's the name of the building if you wouldn't mind sharing? I am living in Phrom Phong at the moment, but my lease is up in October and I want to move around the Jomtien/Pratumnak area. Looking for a new/modern style condo, but whenever I look online most of the stuff I see in those areas is a bit older.
@@steven_bkkSiam Oriental. A number for rent.
I had a glance as I walked past yours Mike - looks great! What’s the square meterage?
Catch you soon 🙏🏻
They're small Sam. 1 bedrooms like ours are 27-41 sm. Studios are 21-25 sm. They also have 2 bedrooms. Although small our place is nicely furnished and has usable balcony. Everything included such as kitchen fully equipped, nice bedding and a very functional layout. Wifi included. 15,000 baht/1 year lease on ours. Nice chatting today with you. Cheers
@@mikeyboy3054 hi , i was wondering , is that inlcuding water / electricity ? is utility contract on the name of the owner or is it normal that you have to set up your own utility contracts in your name ?
Those small buildings that packed together look like those in Tenerife, Spain. I took two weeks vacation and lived with a Spanish family there.
Great vid, mate! lots of good info. I went through Fazwaz when I got in this time because they get paid by the owner of the condo, not you, so i gave them a monthly budget of 40k, 2br, a pool and gym in the general Silom/Sathorn area and she came back a few days later with some listings. I ended up taking the first one I saw and I'm still here 9 months later. even got the 6 month contract and the best view of south east Bangkok, ever. My agent talked to everyone for me, including hooking up the internet and organizing a regular cleaner that speaks English. If you get the budget, I highly recommend.
Absolutely agree on the going for a walk part. I was looking at buying a small studio in Jomtien for under 50k, but I need to actually see and, like you said, smell the area to grasp convenience and what's actually available in the area. I have mobility issues as well, so movement to 7-11 or a good restaurant needs consideration.
Well Done and congrats on the new place!
Sound assessment bro!! Happy to hear you found a satisfactory abode!!
Valuable insights and telling us the criteria for making your decisions. Wish you all the best on your journey.

Good to hear you have a deal. Always a pain to get sorted on arrival but at least you have a network - well, Adam! 🤣
Am in Hua Hin looking for next year - back to Pattaya tomorrow...will carry on the search.
Looks like a nice area, mate. I'm sure you're enjoying yourself. Down in Pattaya at the end of the month.
Awesome video, you have a new fan. I'll be eager to see your new uploads as I fantasize of moving to Thailand while sitting in my cubicle. I found you through Keis, I hope I get to go for a skate with him one day in the future. Cheers guys
Fuck yeah mate!! Cheers 🍻
Book a holiday at the very least :)

Love that ur vids are 8 min... keep it up...’!!!.....
cool mate me & a few south coast boys will be there in August for a month cant wait to get to Pattaya🎉🤙🤔🍻
Good on you champion 🏆 making the move, woo hoo 🎉 if your after a bike or renting one chat with Jason from Good Vibes Pattaya, he's got the low down on all that, best prices 👍
Thanks Dean! I’ll do that next time!
Risky to pay 6 month up front.. Low season now, so many choices. Would not be a problem to find a condo you can pay month by month.
Pay 6 month.. you dont know the condo, you dont know the neighbours, how is the parking going to be, so many varies.. And you not going to get the money back, if you want to move out after lets say 2 months..
But thank you for nice videos, nice places you go, and you and Keis make a good team :)
Good luck mate. I know an expat in Chiang Mai whose digital nomad gig is turning sheets in condos owned by other expats. Basically making sure keeping it squared it away for some expat whose just bought a place and not too concerned with doing the yards. Of course he also offloaded some of those yards off to a local.
Can someone translate this into English?
@@johnnysukhumvit9242I believe HongKong Running was explaining that he knows of expats doing rental management for money. Sounds like the fellow acts as a go-between person between tenants and owners?
It’s likely he outsources some of the management tasks to local Thais also :)
Great you found a place, congratulations!
Thanks!
We need much more followers here! 🙏
China usually 4 floors or less are stairs. …. They get the larger furniture up by rope on the balcony… bought a full size piano by rope up to 10th floor…
Piano by rope!?!? That’s awesome!!!!!
Glad to see you finally made the move. did you find your place before you left or after you arrived?
No no, after arriving. Just walking around, talking and looking :)
@@GoneAdrift good man, I plan on doing the same when I start looking for a place in Pattaya. Have you started the new job yet?
Good Information
I would to see you do a video about a month from now on what is your monthly living expenses in Pattaya .......Lets go .
Haha more than budgeted for, for sure 😏
So, what time is the pool open times? 7pm seems the norm.

Rent Ride Really Go!!!
Pool, quick food and laundry and AC and good internet.
Now we talking ;)
What kind of visa u got bro?
At 5:21in the video...what football jersey is that guy wearing? Where did he buy it?
I believe it came from UK?
@@GoneAdrift Chang Beer sponsors Everton in the EPL. And that's not an Everton jersey.
Hey bro you told us before you were going to work in a bar have you started yet? :)
Not yet…
Had to secure accomodation first.
That’ll be the next task!
I'll tell you how they get furniture in those Thai condos... Over the balcony haha.
Hahaha ahhhh of course!!!!!
Jomtien beach is perfect for retirees to live.
100%!!!
Congratulations - Its not taking you long to settle in.

@@GoneAdrift Wow $250.00 is a steal
Yes nice one
Thanks brother
Only questions I have left , was it a super bargain ???
And any tips on visa ?
Do u have an insider ?😎😂😂
@@JP.Travelz probably a pretty good price for a new westerner with no Thai language. 6k p/m. Had to call in some favours.
Visa stuff is too redhot to talk about. I don’t have much security yet but in the future I hope so :)
@@GoneAdrift dammm gooooood
Did you end up in bang seray?
Only for the ride. Staying South Jomtien, inland now
