This Pattaya Condo is The Closest one to The Beach

- There are many different styles of Pattaya Condos, we look at two very different options today. One sits literally right on the beach, it's a low rise with perhaps the longest continuous pool in all of Pattaya. The other is in a stately older building but there are benefits to that which I will explain.

I've spent some time in India, and for me the standout thing about the country is the food. Being a Brit, I thought I knew a thing or two about Indian cuisine but when I first went to Delhi the food just blew my mind! I've never experienced anything before or since. It's at times exhausting right enough, but I recommend to anyone to visit India at least once in their lifetime.
These older condos can be gorgeous. The floors, the decorations, pools, views.... As for that India trip, go for it if you can.
Thanks Charles 👍🙏
You hit the nail on the head regarding older buildings. Bigger units, and often lower per square metre cost. Also, these older buildings had first choice of the prime locations. There are some great deals, but I think your key point was “well maintained”. Despite the nice larger units, a poorly maintained older building can be a slow bleed out as at some point the problems accumulate to a state that can’t be ignored and more money has to be spent by the co-owners to address them. Before you buy, always check to see if the management has adequate money in its operating budget and doesn’t have a significant backlog of delinquent fee payers, and whether they have a decent contingency fund for emergency repairs.
Good point, always check into the management company, could be a make or break. 👍👍
Love Ananya. Stayed there for 3 years when I was working down in Laem Chabang. Nice to see it again, thanks for sharing.
Yeah, that's probably a pretty good area to live if you work in Laem Chabang, not too far,0 but still away from the industrial area a bit. 👍🙏
Beautiful place, would love to wake up in the morning and look out the window at the beach…. Nice video Lucas!
Yes, that would be nice 😂👍🙏
Nice One Loucas 👍. Love that old building have seen it before on TH-cam. It's a beauty I can imagine some of the condos are awesome in there. Classic style
Thanks 👍
Definitely go to India! To have a local tour guide like that will make your trip so much better, so this might very well be a once in a lifetime chance. I went to China some years ago, would probably not want to go there again anytime soon, but at that time I had the great luck that a doctoral candidate of mine, a young chinese woman, was able to show me around, and that made the trip much easier and a lot more enjoyable. So go (and bring back some great videos) ;-)
Thanks Titus, I think you're right, having a guide can make a huge difference. 👍🙏
@@Rides4Kickz To add to that ,he's a retired General , and they still pull a lot of weight around in India, not to mention that you as his guest will have access to a lot of areas and places, experiences and cuisine, which a normal citizen will not otherwise.
14M. I thought it would be around that. The perfect apartment if you have the money. Only four floors. It would be nice and quiet. And what a setting. I like Naklua/Wongamat.
The second condo is a fine place, too. Nicely designed balconies.
If you can go to India, do it, Lucas. I've never been.
More interesting stuff Lucous, thanks. Good to see a variety of condos in Pattaya. INDIA, go for it, IMHO. Sounds like an opportunity to experience a lot. Cheers!
Thanks Jackson 👍👍🙏
Saying in Wongamat. Here for the first time thanks to you and some of your TH-cam buds.
Interesting places; the quietness and out of the way is very appealing for sure. Just wondering about the older condos and life expectancy of the building and any upcoming building maintenance may be a concern. The 1st one, 2 bedroom interesting. Nice if you have friend visiting or a party with a few to many. lol lol
Never seen any reply to last vid and had a look, no post from me I guess I never hit comment, lol do that some times when I get distracted.
Good vid Lucas Thx..
Thanks Antio, yes very quiet part of town and even a more private enclave within that area, so feels peaceful 👍🙏
Thanks for the tour Lucas. Always enjoyable. India? I’ll pass. Too many people.
Thanks Bobby 👍🙏
Have a great day Lucas 🇦🇺🍺🤟🙏
You too Erikh 👍👍🙏
Theodorou? I am from Greece and just found your channel. Amazing work!
I was brought up in Cyprus. Lived in USA half of my life. Evharisto!
@@andrewslifestyle2289 Sounds quite an adventure! Να είσαι καλά my friend.
@@ConstantineFtw you do the same, friend
Definitely prefer the second condo to the first.
Older condos and homes are built beautifully with plenty of space...these ones are no exception!
We agree!
Loucous, I think you should absolutely take him up on his offer. To have someone familiar with the culture and the area you will be visiting is priceless. Going by yourselves you would surely miss half the things he could point out. I've been to Thailand 5 times and I always take the tours for the same reason. Sounds exciting. Don't forget about Deli belly precautions.
Thanks Jeff 👍🙏
Hi,
I enjoy watching your video when I have time.
I appreciated for your time and effort.
Will you be making some video for Phuket?
Thanks
We were just down in Phuket for bike week. Probably won't get back down that way anytime soon. But check out my Southern Thailand Tour playlist if you havn't already. cheers!
There's a two story condo in bang Saray even closer to the beach....near the Thai navy base.
A condo at the beach is indeed very special here, there is always a road in between.this the best investment if you want to buy
be safe Thanks for sharing
אריה למה אתה לא גר בפטייה.
Thank you, I will
from a friend who did visit india they said if you dont like crowds you wont like India. People are everywhere in the cities. It depends a lot on where you go.
second largest population in the world but there food is next level and healthy Currys beats everything.
LUCAS HI.
great beautiful apartments and a great show presentation GREAT BUILDINGS TO LIVE A PEACEFUL LIFE. yes Lucas go to ndia with Vee enjoy life a plenty you looking great and healthy so it's best to enjoy your younger years. you'll have great memories of your beautiful healthy life.
Thanks for the insight Uzi 👍🙏🙏
You could clearly see the neighbors in that very last condo. The teak wood unit was beautiful, and that large paintings (that's not included) was breathtaking. I would venture to guess the shower pressure is stronger in the older buildings?
Loved the look of that Food.
It was lovely 👍🙏
Lovely clean sea.
Great stuff !
Hi, Lucus & Vee enjoyed your video. My preference is the older building. You get more for your money. As you pointed out it's finding one that is well maintained as you have. You get larger living space and bedrooms. I am not a condo fan, I don't think I could completely relax full-time in one. Being high up is a bit scary for me I like my feet on terra firmer. Each to their own. Nothing above 3 floors and has a elevator.
Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M
Another benefit of the older buildings is some of them will allow pets where most of the newer ones do not. Just a higher chance of that in older buildings, but yes, maintenance is everything 👍🙏
I really love that 2nd condo for 750 a month. So perfect for me. Hopefully it is available when I get there in December.
Not sure about having the longest pool at this complex, the one at Olympus City Garden is touted as being more than 400 meters long ....
India is incredible, it’s also an attack on the senses, to have a well respected Indian national take you under their wing is priceless, your experience would be much much easier. Vee & yourself must go. Great video
Excellent video I heard the real estate in Pattaya has increased significantly recently.
In certain area it has risen sharply. Some of this is in anticipation to the high speed rail coming here in 2028. This will in effect allow BKK residents to actually live here and commute on a 20 minute train ride to the the big city. Speculation is up due to that mainly.
So beautiful view 😲😉🤙
👍👍🙏🙏
This building was designed by Is the same architect who designed the State Tower, Bangkok Riverside Residence and the abandoned building Sathorn unique Tower
Now that's Me !
Go Go Go !
Rides 4 Kickz realto lol. Interesting also with the Riviera doing Wongamat and the new one at Na Jomtien. So either side North and South of Pattaya.
Great review mate
very helpful video thanks for that and we will take into consideration south of Pattaya or Nortb which is best ????
I honestly love some of these Older condos great food real Indian food I would take his offer up and go to India great country so much to see bit the Taj Mahal is really spectacular especially at dawn in real
Nicely presented, Lucas. Thank you! I think I prefer the older condo 😜 It has been reduced to 7,350,000! As for India, seeing you have an Indian Tour guide, do it! I’ll take you to Greece and Cyprus, someday.
And Vee, of course!
Cool, very nice 👍
I'd offer them a tour of Indiana, but I really wouldn't wish that on anyone
I enjoy your vlogs, especially the food related ones. I have an unrelated question, do you have any updates on the BKK-Pattaya high speed rail link. No that many related threads on the web.
Thanks
Both beautiful condos. By all means. Go to India to experience it. Especially with your friend helping guide the way. Thanks Loucous. All the best. Mitch 🙏
So nice of you Mitch, Thanks 👍🙏
hi mister Mitch and Dao are you still on the vacation trip with chuck paige and kera maybe some day you and Dao go to India together the people are great the food is next level and healthy is the curry goat or chicken umm.
Wongamat beach per say is not a private beach and has access points for all to use it... i usually go through the pullman hotel but there are many little streets that drop you onto the beach L.A Rob
Love the shirt!😂
Those units are a great size and look so good 😊
I think so too David 👍🙏
That was a Beautiful View, pool, etc at the first condo.
I love how spacious the second place was and yes just how different each unit is.
I think always better when individual people design their condo instead of a cookie cutter builder floor plan 🤣
That would be a great trip.!! Plenty of spices for the tastebuds. India is certainly on my bucket list i would say go for it 🙏🙏🙏🙏✈✈✈✈
Thanks Lee 👍🙏
In the late 90s the interiors were really no expenses spared, marble & teak everything, very nice. The architecture & design of the 2nd building looks identical to the infamous abandoned tower in Bangkok. This OTT greek design is so unique to that period, love it. I love both the condos really interesting cozy homes. I've stayed in India a lot, it's a cliche but it's life altering. You can visit the hill stations like Darjeeling or Shillong. Ride camels in Rajasthan. River boat in Kerela. Having a local show you around is priceless. And you might get a lot of subscribers from India. Thank you for all your videos which are consistently so high quality 😊🙏
Thanks, that all sounds so tempting 👍👍🙏🙏
Nice presentation, thanks. I love the first condo (without the furniture though, would have some nice decoration ideas), but how far is it from say Hilton Pattaya?
India would be Incredible for you and the channel also.
Travelling with a upper class local would be an amazing life experience
Highly recommend India... Unreal experience!!
Great video on older big apts..not to be disrespectful and off topic..but the lady at the end of video..my goodness so beautiful.
Seam like very good buying Lou. Especially when compared to the prices here in OZ 👍
Yeah, probably no comparison to OZ, didn't they have a huge real-estate boom several years back? I've heard it's very expensive there now.
@@Rides4Kickz We sure did... It's only slowing a little as the Fed reserve is raising interest rate to try and get Inflation under control... An average/half decent house in Melbourne or Sydney is about a million bucks here now!
Both opulent condos. Only drawback with second one is that it’s one bedroom but I still love it. That renovated unit is nice too. Thanks for the tours.😎
Thanks Eleanor, our pleasure 👍👍🙏🙏
My first condo in Thailand was Park Beach 28th floor.
Love the first condo...but sea rise will wipe out the front.
It already does the walkway in front. Walked this exact shore for years. 🙏
Nice 👍
Nice units but a bit expensive
Too rich for me 🤣👍🙏
@@Rides4Kickz I liked the private house you and Vee rented with the little swimming pool and vee had her garden set up was a great video done on it by you LUCAS.
Yep the older established condos offer much better value n sizes of rooms compared to the new shoebox condos that have sprung up all over Pattaya n Jomtien. As other guys have said got to check building management n maintenance fees etc…. The last condo that was refurbished is much nicer then previous 2 with nicer beachfront too then Ananya condo.
Only if I had the $$$ !!!! WOW !!
Go. Enjoy. And don't feel like you need to video and "work" the whole time. Love your content. Be well.
Thanks 👍🙏
I'm getting close to retirement and the second one is the type I'd look into renting..
Go for it. Don't miss an opportunity to go to India while you are healthy. I have seen too many people wait too long.
Thanks Mike, that's right you never know what tomorrow brings. 👍🙏
Thanks for another great video Loucous. I’ve been in a smaller unit in the second place, on a high floor. It had 3 big balconies; one city view and 2 ocean views. I have never seen anything that beats theese views.
Yes, great views. 3 balconies sounds awesome 👍🙏
Yes, please go have a look at India, would be a good vid. Cheers, Sth.Australia
My house is bang on the beach,; what they never tell you is the never ending maintenance that the salt and the wind demands.....everything rots or gets hammered.....still worth it for the views though.
Makes sense I guess, 👍🙏
so you live there only 5 years and then sale it for the margin profit as you wish in good thinking.
@@uzistar7 5years, mate it is constant maintenance or you would have nothing left to sell
Both great condos. The India trip would be great, I think you should go for it. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Thanks Robert 👍🙏
Love both buildings., but second one in particular,. Love the distance from the nightlife too. What are the HOA's on them?
Wow
Didn’t know you were a big weed guy until I saw your shirt 😂
😂🤣😂
@@Rides4Kickz your shirt is marijuana leaves right?
Lucas! (Correct name?)
You absolutely positively MUST MUST MUST go to India! This is the quintessential opportunity of a lifetime! My goodness man talk about being shown around in style. You’ll be safe, spoiled, amazed. You’ll see India through eyes very few have experienced. You will probably get the royal treatment right from the airport.
I would say it’s almost a crime if you don’t go! 😆
You cannot pass this up!
Lastly, I think if you decline the offer you may find yourself regretting that decision forever.
Go for it!
The condo is beautiful. The wooden floors are spectacular. Clearly luxury living and not for everyone. With that said for the right person it does seem to be an appealing real estate opportunity.
Many Thanks, Cheers!
great way of expressing it 👍💯🙏🏻
@@uzistar7 Thanks 🙏
Of course go to India, its an amazing country and a must do experience.
Thanks Lance 👍🙏
Enjoy your India trip - enough said!
Back from Our Bermuda Cruise and time to catch up
on Your week that We miss....The only ''' INDIA ''' Food
I'v had has been on Cruises and like it ..... And how to
go over Your pass week .....
Enjoy Ray, I trust you had a nice time on the cruise 👍🙏
We did and will be heading to Alaska in the next
few weeks being Ret, has it's good side ....But I
have talked the Wife into a 3 or 4 Week stay in
Pattaya next Year ...She's has been worried about
the C-- , But now has eased up a lot ...
India here we come !
We as in your TH-cam Fans 😜
Nice, Thanks 👍🙏
That will be on the market a long time
I think if you ever wanted to go to Indian, it would be a great idea to go escorted by someone like your friend. There are many great things to see, but there are also a great many things to navigate past/around and your friend could make your trip much more enjoyable. Maybe this is a once in a life time chance to do something you wouldn't otherwise do on your own? Think about it.
Thanks Jon, I feel the same 👍🙏
Very nice condos Lucas 😍😍😍especially the indian condo...With Vee always seeking food but not gaining any weight 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Nader, I wonder if they have Shrimps in India 🙄🤔
@@Rides4Kickz I'm not sure 🤣🤣🤣
@@Rides4Kickz they should have as Vee super crazy about shrimps be glad it's not beef lolsss
I like the owl
I saw several of them there. Was wondering if they are decoration or really there to scare birds away or discourage nesting.
@@Rides4Kickz yes, they are for scaring away other birds.
Yes, do take us to India, please
Many Thanks 👍🙏
@@Rides4Kickz lolsss LUCAS I second what he said yes take us subs with you in your camera it should be beautiful especially seeing Vee and you eating chicken massala or delicious goat curry ND maybe shrimps curry for Vee.
yes yes yes I second that !!!
Upvote on the trip to India. Having your own tour guide is a no brainer.
Thanks Jim 👍🙏
Beautiful floors
I think so too!
I forgot to mention Luke. Before you travel to India go to a local hospital and get vaccines specific for India. Hepatitis, and stomach related viruses as well. India especially for a foreigner is a smorgasbord of disease cocktails. Check online with the CDC
Good to visit India. Stay a little longer than 1 week to take it all in. For me, 1 trip of that is enough for a lifetime
Good point, I may only get one chance 👍
@@Rides4Kickz Haha....that's just for me...
hmm........didn't think the indian army paid that well.
Due to the offer, & the person that id offering it, I think you would be a fool to not go. I wish you luck what ever your choice.(but it better be the right choice lol) I am sure you would have a wonderful time, and I am also sure you would wish you had gone for longer. Have a great day and I wonderful trip. (if you decide to go)
Thanks Paul 👍🙏
I've been told it's actually illigal to rent any condo for less than a month in Thailand. Well I was told you have to rent for longer than a month to not fall short of the potential 10,000 baht fine and trouble with immigration, which can and will come out to visit you. I was told you can easily get local Thai's informing on you as they get some kind of reward I belive. Can you confirm this for me please as I'm planning on visiting in February and don't want any trouble with immigration of course. Thank you and great video once again
Vee is right you go to India for the food. It is definitely a culture shock for westerners.
👍👍👍
You gotta go to India it's fantastic it's an amazing experience.
Thanks Michael 👍🙏
Schöne Bilder 🤳👍👍👍 Grüße aus Hamburg ⚓😎🥊🍺🕺🎶💃🎸🕺❤️💃🤫
Danke 👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the video. I was interested in some units selling for 9 million in north pattaya. No ocean view but 180 square meters and close to everything. I find that Wongamat is a decent area for the beach, but it is secluded making it necessary to have a car for most condos. I may be wrong but I think prices will be coming down over the next few months. I had so many special requirements that I only found 3 units meeting those requirements. It is essential when you look for real estate in that
I live in Wongamat and I either walk to main road to get a baht bus or bolt charges no more than 75-100 for a ride into the center
Love this quiet area and don’t need to be in the center! Cleaner beaches here
I am renting in Wong Amat for the past year and really like the area.
Why do you think prices will come down the next few months?
Thanks
@MyMotoSai All I know is that prices went up high in July because Thailand was fully reopening. I was there and the businesses are hurting badly as tourism is still quite low. There is worldwide inflation, but Thailand prices live and die on tourism. I saw many places take their rentals up by over 10k. I like Wong Amat as well. A great beach area. Many places available at various condos. At some point either tourism returns or prices start dropping. My guess is that tourism will not return quickly because of inflation, but there will be some moving to se asia to try and save money. Those people are looking for the very low rental prices. Enjoy your life in Wong Amat!
Finding a property that's well maintained with a renovated condo. That is the trick, isn't it? I got tired of looking at condos that hadn't been touched since the owner bought it, or went overboard on decor, too much furniture and tchotchkes clutter. That's why I went with a new unit in my latest rental. It's a smaller, boutique condominium complex you might call it, but, decent price for the square meters and I actually have a "City View," of central Pattya. 👍
We'll have to check it out 😂😉😉
i could live there.
i liked those wood floors, but I kind of liked the latter condo more than the bigger one. But i loved the antiques in the first one. Some of those statues were gorgeous.A trip to India might be neat. The food is my second favorite after Thai food:)
He really has a great collection of paintings and artifacts. 👍👍🙏🙏
I will say one thing.... "you'll never never know, if you never never go" :) you would need 2 weeks minimum though
Very true, Thanks Misty 👍🙏
Hi Loucous, can you elaborate a litle bit on the monthly HOA/maintenance fees for all these unit for the new owner after the close of ecrow? Thanks,
Maintenance fees are assessed by the square meter per month but normally paid usually once per year. Older buildings will generally have a lower per sq. meter cost than newer building which is a bit ironic because older ones require more maintenance. The one building I figured out came to 32 baht per square meter per month. So 32 X 80 = 2560 baht per month or about 30k per year. The buyer may have to pre-pay 6 months of maintenance fees, but every deal could be different and of course if would depend on the where the billing cycle is at the time of purchase.
Beautiful condo. But I always wonder why there is no one ever in these gorgeous pools?
maybe it's the older people and the very warm waters in the pools just my sayings.
Yes, maybe it's busy different times of the day or something? 👍🙏
Go mate! I'd like to see your perspective on India.
Noted! Thanks 👍
You have definitely got to travel to India, if you are thinking zbiut it you will only regret not going. To go with the couple who can show you around well chances like that only come round once in a blue moon. Life is for lliving and exploring just do it mate 👍
I wondered if anyone foreign ever bought in that building, units sitting unsold for many years since completion.
Actually approximately 40% of the condos are owed or rented by foreign residents
@@andrewslifestyle2289 great investment great for the newcomers.
Visiting with THe General will give you Royal visit…
Lucas, you should visit wIth him.
Nice 👍🙏
