- In this episode we look at a comparison between two condo units, one costing $100 per month and one costing $1000 per month which represent both the top and bottom rungs of the Bangsaen, Thailand condo market respectively. There are many more choices available at the lower end of the market but high end units are available for those with the means so come a long for a quick look. The GPS coordinates for both condos compared are below. Enjoy the Ride.
$100 Unit - 13.297272, 100.910854
$1000 Unit - 13.250190, 100.931827

You should represent high end real estate companies. You've got that radio voice: Quiet authority yet reassuring. You'd be great in a crisis center! Not a type of job most of us would aspire to - kind of stressful. But that voice - that's what people need to hear when their life is unraveling.
You'd be surprised with the amenities you can get in a very cheap room. I used to rent a room for 2500 baht with an AC, a small fridge, a balcony, normal toilet, shower and even a bath tub. On top of that it was maybe a 10 minute walk from Jomtien beach. I also had an access to the neighbouring building's pool. I sure got lucky and found this place via some local friends, but my point is, don't pass up on a place just because it is very cheap
Thanks Mate a great comparison , living out in the boondocks or living in the clouds ,I first visited Bangsaen 35 years ago and thought it would be a great place to retire ,it never happened but still visit often . Love your videos
By far the most useful channel on Thailand Ive seen thanks
These are one of the best videos we found on TH-cam. Very informative. Easy to follow. And great videoing. Keep it up. Thank u
Love that u put coordinates! I was in Thailand for 2 weeks and was thinking the entire time that they'd be better off just using coordinates 24/7
Good job Lucas , you put a bit of work into these videos and your presentation is excellent , thanks .
Thanks, I'm just starting to watch but want to thank you for doing this. It's very interesting to me to see the difference.
thank you again, great video. I am right now enduring 8 degrees below zero in Watford City North Dakota, 17 below this morning
Glad I found you, I hit the Bell for notification. Gonna check out your other vlogs. Thanks
Loving your vlogs and vibe brother, it’s all good!
Thanks been a real help,currently looking at condos,houses for long term rental next year
Very informative
I never looked at channel like this.. my first time and I subscribed now... I like a lot,, enjoyed thanks......
As the thai people thank you for do content like this if the covid gone this would be advantage for the economy of this country we need more the long stay tourist
I used to own condos in Maui. Lost em in a divorce. Thought my dream of ever having a beautiful place with an ocean view was lost.
Not now! thank you so much.
I can feel you brother, lost my waterfront house in NY in mine. Kept the condo in South Carolina though. Don’t get me started on the 3K a month she gets with no kids...
Ted Ted my pension is 9K a month. Plus I live in NY state. Married over 20 years. Could have been a lot worse.
@@DWilliam1 3k and no kids ,you got to be joking me ?i'm english btw ..but fs you serious ???
@@genokemp2433 temporary alimony. Will go down a bit...but not a lot. Divorce laws are vicious in NY...wait until you see child support orders.
@@DWilliam1 That's a great pension!
Very cool. Came to Bangsean after spending a few days down in Koh Sichang. So far, this is nice here. Your videos are Very Helpful!! Thank you!!! :-)
Your all videos are Superb, THUMBS UP !
Thanks for all of your hard work - awesome info.!
Great video and comparison!!
I'm glad you popped up on my feed. The expensive option's price is inflated by the lack of supply. You could get that for 20,000 in Chiang Mai which is the second city.
No sea in Chiang Mai
Love how you listed 'colour TV' as a feature of the first room. 😄
It wasn't always a thing back in the day :D
Thank you... without a doubt the most informative...I liked what you said about taking something locally, to seek out further.
nice and informative video ! honestly i like both of condo :) have a nice day...hello from Slovenia
Thanks for posting. Very informative. Cheers mate!
Great info dude well done 👍
Great info just what I needed thanks think I would choose the condo you yourself chose
Cool video 4 Kicks.. I stayed 3 months dark side for 5000 baht, and 3 months Jomtien 9000 baht.. I enjoyed your comparison here.. Thanks. Curt in San Diego, Ca.
Great video and good information I wish you good luck with your chanel my friend I think its going to be huge soon.
Great video. This is a great option for a retired single man who wants to stretch his dollars. I'm scared of heights so I'd want a lower floor which should be cheaper since the view isn't as impressive..
Thanks for showing us around Bangsaen. Honestly, I never heard of this location. A walkable area with vendors is definately a plus. With the current situation, higher living standards and affordability is becoming ubiquitous which is nice. Be greedy when others are fearful. Thailand is a safeland in my book. Everyone can be paranoid about "wet markets" in Thailand, not me.
Great to see comparisons, great for people with a better budget as all vloggers concentrate on the cheapest!!!
No vloggers concentrate on what most can afford, all these pretentious people on chats that say yes that expensive whatever is for them, how many actually buy or pay for said item?
I'm paying 1400 USD per month for a crappy two bedroom in Phoenix, where you can't even go outside for 4 months out of the year because its 110 degrees. I need to figure out how to make money online 🤔
Lol Arizona has the heat that ruins your mood as soon as you go outside lol
Look at the articles on Revolist, they have tons of guides (real stuff). Just google it.
@@pedrotski Thank you, I'm checking it out now.
Make porn movies online.
@@just_another_bot0110 $3150 in L A
Thank you for the video. I really miss Bang Saen and thinking about buying a condo there in the future :)
Thank You Kickz nice overview
Nice vid. New expat youtuber checking out your vids. and enjoying your channel. Subscribed.🙏
Man i miss Thailand! Really want to retire here one day... Lovely video
When you get to TH-cam rockstar status, one of those fancy places might be ok, but most of us would rather live like you do in the $200 range apartment, and have the rest for eats, drink, travel and entertainment. Great video as always.😀
I think as you pay more you get far, far less for every 1,000 baht you spend. The difference between three and four is massive. The difference between five and six is noticeable. Above that, in most places, it's all a bit dubious.
For ฿6000 apartment the Chances are 90% being robbed.
$1000 a month is not exactly lifestyles of the rich and famous
@@xpusostomos People choose lifestyles of the rich and famous as the runner's up prize. What they'd really prefer is an idea of who they are and what it all means. They prefer cars to ideas because cars are easier to drive.
@@craigross341 what about motorcycles, and the art of maintenance?
You seem a very honest guy
Excellent video! Thank you!
Very informative Video Thank you 👍
This was great! Now a subscriber. :) Can you recommend places in Thailand close beautiful nature for hiking away from the big city buzz? Thanks!
that balcony was half the size of that condo! Thanks for sharing that.
That was a beautiful balcony 1 1/2 price would be worth it just for that (depending your taste) and the view!
Good video. Nice that you used a GoPro too. I have been to Thailand. Bangkok mostly. I prefer the bigger cities. More to do and see. But sometimes it’s nice to stay in a location like this one. I lived in the Philippines for eleven years. Manila. Hong Kong is my favorite Asian city but it’s expensive.
Thank you for the video, Thumbs UP👍👍.
Greate channel. quality entertainment. Thank you.
Thanks for the the information bro your living the life
Very nice video, thank you.
Nice video 👍 I subbed.
Thanks so many nice videos...Hello say Harri And Chompoo from finland now.. after PHITSANULOK.
Look forward to meeting you soon. Icecy :)
Great video enjoyed it. But the first condo, yu said it was a quiet street, sounded pretty loud
That information is good information.
It will help me narrow down the choices and remind me of some Must-haves. Thanks !
Good info mate. Thanks
Thanks a lot. Really well done, and really appreciated. Did you film this with your cell phone? Really stable camera, anyway.
I didn’t see any western people when I was there ..that temple was insane. Nice price I would be happy to stay there .
we are having some health issues here in europe, you might have read about it. few cases, nothing big. nice day
great video. very well done.
Great vid. Thanks
Great comparison vid. What camera are you using?
An interesting video to see the price difference of what you can get!
What about using an agent to help you find the property you are looking for ?
A very informative video.
Thank you. I can't drink anymore and this would be perfect for me without temptation next door or below. I would need to rent a motorbike for a month. 30 days is really the most i can do. My working age will be rather high i'm sad to say. I buy lottery tickets now instead of beer etc.
I used to live in Bang Saen. I loved it honestly. Not as busy as bangkok but still alot available.
I love how the more expensive one comes with a sound track.
another fantastic vid.. thanks.. if possible, can you make a long term car rental ( like 3-6 months rental) ? I'm not confident enough to ride motocycle in thailand :)
The first condo looked like a garage space. The second is great except a bit small in the living room and kitchen. Balcony is top notch and the amenities are great.
excellent voice quality!
Wow. I would love to just come stay in that place for a year! To heck with just getting a hotel room for a couple weeks!
If you go check out the price at The Base they are really high, but the rooms are small. So you are basically paying for the location being close to Central Festival and within walking distance to most things. I do like the base and have stayed there a few times with my Thai wife when we are in town. But if you are looking for long term stay to live for your money I don't think it would be worth it. Like I said the rooms are not very big but are furnished well. Security is good too. Nice video.
Was on soi buckhao during that rain shower not even 20 minutes then everything dry like it never rained 10 minutes later gotta love thailand
Hey m8 good info thanks I am on my way searching those coordinates for the room with no kitchen thanks see you there peace god bless
Cool video 👍
Thanks so much for doing this. I saw the previous video and learned much from it too. You are making the move of so many of us to Thailand so much easier and economical. Thanks again.
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 👍🍺
I agree. Very helpful and right up-to-date.
The nicer one comes with background music. Cool.
Great video!
I would easily live in the first place for 6 months for 600$ next to the beach
Great video.
We’d probably want to stay at around $500/month USD
2:51 someone's picking up an English accent! Spending too much time at the top end of Soi 7 me thinks!
This clip was superb from start to finish, thank you. 3500thb would be about 5000thb per month with all bills included do you think?
Also, is this type of low/medium accommodation available in Pattaya or would you have to be in Jomtien or somewhere?
As a simple rule of thumb consider the areas North of Central Pattaya Klang road; South of South Pattaya Nua road (and towards Jomtien); and West of Soi SaiSam/3rd Road... Lots at 3-5,000 B/mon. Worth renting a scooter and looking around... It's a very variable market.
I wasn't even going to watch but as soon as you said you weren't going too waste my time👍👌👏🙏✌
Great video, thanks. One point, I don't think there is a norm on electricity in Pattaya area. Huge number of landlords inflate the electric prices.
Well you've done it again..
You hit the ball right out of the park with that video.
4000 bht a month cheap long term deal..
is OK for a long term stayer..
Who just needs a room to sleep..
The $1,000 space 60 square Mts and up = wow there is so much space.. which I love..
$1,000 Its nothing in London or New York for that $1,000 you wouldn't get a room in a slum area..
Quality of life not just life..
You showed viewers just how to balance quality and price in Thailand..
👍👍👍
All you need is that fancy apartment and a case of mentos and you’d be all set 😂🤣🙏
@@Rides4Kickz 😀😀😀
But this place is not in New York or London. For 1000$ you can have a very good condo in most western towns. I don't know why would you compare small town condo to big overhyped cities like New York. I don't think Thai people consider this price as good deal tbh even the one with decent job there. Sure for western people it is ok deal mainly coz of view.
@@azjatek
In the UK > Leeds Manchester a condo this size two bedroom would be about $2,000 a month
And then property taxes ..plus high insurance + power costs much higher than Thailand.
The point is $1,000 is nothing if you sell a house in America or the UK and move to Thailand..
In the winter I live in Asia.
If I lived in England it would cost me double on housing costs alone.
I'm in Cambodia a packet of cigarettes $1.50
In the UK $9 dollars
A beer in Cambodia $1.50
Same beer in UK $3 dollars
The quality of of life & living in that condo in Pattaya is much much better than any small town in America or England.
So there is a cost and quality of life issue here..
I used London as a point of reference to make the point because everyone knows about London..
Halifax Sheffield or Glasgow nobody outside of tbe UK can compare prices..
Thailand has Sunshine everyday..its cheaper and lots of interesting entertainment on a night. $1,000 you would pay a lot lot more anywhere else like boring south of France.. or boring Miami ..
Peace 😀👍😀😀😀
@@paul_the_merciful I do agree life in Thailand is way better than in US or GB for less $ but most people exaggerate. I just checked and the median home listing price in the US is 200-226k$. People would think to buy a home in US you need to spend fortune but the reality is average price is around 220k$ so I guess in some places you can buy house for like 150k$ or less to compensate the high end condos in NY. Here we are talking about small coast town that I wouldn’t consider as tourist one like Phuket or Samui. We really can't compere prices to western one. In Poland for example you can buy cigarettes for not more than 2$. Beer for 1.5$ is standard price. The perspective we have is based on a place we live in I guess.
Peace and good luck!
My surroundings r very important to me. I think $500-700 would work if i was serious about living there. Good video From Sacramento
Interesting.. Good video.
Just subscribed and started enjoying your channel. Can you tell me what a decent scooter or motorbike would cost?
Can i just ask why this popped up in my recommended? I've never looked into Thailand real estate...
Jonathan Simmel same here lol
Same but now I wanna go and visit
yes, but thailand real estate has now looked into you.....
You'll have to ask the algorithm
But we did click, so the algorithm knows more about us than we do!
Exactly right need good amenities
I would agree about the toilet, but when I was on holiday where they have squat toilets in Morroco I got used to using them and they are actually more healthy to use, it’s just what we are culturally acceptable to I guess.
try using one when your half awake or drunk lol
Love the videos! Was wondering what steps you'd recommend for someone trying to take a summer off to travel to Thailand affordably? Everything would need to be close for the most part since I would not be wanting to deal with getting a scooter and all of that. Thank you again for all you do :)
Start in Bangkok and use the dirt cheap third class trains. Avoid overnight journeys, or pay more to lie down!
@@craigross341 Thank you I was definitely looking to fly into Bangkok and go to ChiangMai from there perhaps, but don't know if I would be able to find something for a 1-2month lease.
@@Rowestah You should be able to. You'll pay a little more. You shouldn't have a problem recovering a deposit. The landlords seem to fear officialdom. I've never had a problem. If you've never been it's a hell of a culture shock, and cheap accommodation's no answer to the question, "What the hell am I going to do all day?" The advantage of a week in Bangkok, a week in Chiang Mai, a week in Udon, a week or two down towards the Malaysian border, is that it gives you something to do, and you see more of the country. I settled down for 5-6 weeks in one place, and it means cheap accommodation, you can get your gym workouts sorted out and routinised, you learn where to eat, but I find the days too long. There's a lot to see and do in Bangkok, and the transport system (MRT and BTS) is exceptional.
@@craigross341 Yeah I think even if I am doing "nothing" I'd still enjoy it. I'll be taking 3-4 of my College courses online for the Summer, but want to get away at the same time. Basic accommodation with a gym and a 7-11 nearby would probably be enough for me haha.
@@Rowestah Well, you've just described where I go, or have gone three times. Udon Thani, near the UD Town area. You've got massive markets, three parks, Your Fitness (plus a couple of other gyms), the massive Central Plaza (with the food courts) and plenty of 3,500 to 5,000 apartments. I just wish I could chill out. SP House was 3,500 in 2018. Even if it was 4,500 for a single month it would be cheap, and it's a walk over a footbridge to Nong Bua park, or over another footbridge (or take your life in your hands with the traffic) to UD Town, night markets and the gym. Every walk down a soi in Thailand reveals another apartment block. It's so cheap and easy, but if you've ants in your pants and get anxiety attacks when you're faced with "What anchors my life?" questions then it doesn't matter where you go. After 2018 I'm actually frightened. I got insomnia, and just couldn't sleep a wink. I crawled onto the overnight train back to Bangkok. I couldn't even get any sleep in Savarnabhumi, nor on the plane, and I had months of insomnia when I got back. Wherever you go you take yourself.
Gidday from Australia. Very interesting, the cost is a bit higher than say Penang Malaysia where most high rise condos, 3 bed, 2 bath with pool, gym, etc is about $500US per month.
@D'RealBoxingFan Gidday, those $500US condos are normally 10000 ft2 or bigger. The quality of life for the cost is the true value. Great medical facilities, good clean air-conditioned public transport, great and inexpensive food. Penang and KL offer this. Booze is dearer than the US but not in the restaurants. Everyone speaks English to some level. It is a 1ST - 2ND world standard, not a 3RD world.
Nice contrast of condos, by the way you didn't run that flashing red did ya?
For clarification as a french, "french toilets" are actually Turkish and by the way "french fries" are... Belgium. That said, very informative video ;)
always one!!
I’ve seen Turkish toilets in France many times.

@@cedricmeloni Merci beacoup, Cedric.
Living up north I'm paying 2000 Baht ($61)/month for a house with 3 rooms (2 with AC), small kitchen and 1 bathroom. It's not fancy, but I can pick mangoes from the front porch and I also have bananas, rose apples, and mulberries growing around the house, and of course (in this age of coronavirus) I have a patch with vegetables growing too.
How is it now? Have prices dropped or higher. Please let us know what the area is called, and if u can walk to a nice beach? Thank you in advance!
I've got a 3 bed 2 bath with half an acre in Tampa FL for $740/month (mortgage) those expensive condos seem outrageously priced to me
Although the 100-200 dollar per month condos are unheard of in Fla.
I can afford the $1,000 unit, but why? I don't have anyone to impress. I'll take a very nice place for $5-600 and use the difference to live well.
500+600$ have super expensive room rent, thats can rent full house whit pool and garage and scooter all month
but then having a nice place is a part of living well, it can even motivate you, boost your spirit and energy
of course we are not talking about living in a nice place and eating dirt cookies :D
I don’t have anyone to impress either. But i’m impressed, and that’s what counts. I’m in!
You believe nice things are only for impressing other people? That’s an interesting, albeit naive, model of the world.
@@mattivirta that's what I'm looking for in October Matti. C
One day hopefully I will be looking at the High end.
Excellent comparisons, Thank you sir!
I have a cheap place but with air con. However I'd still like to see what's cheap there and how they live. I guess they have the big fan thing, which I did for a couple of seasons. It's sweaty. Thanks, Thailand Paul
Nice channel 🙋♂️
Will you do a video on the Pattaya Beach condo apts where Sean lives and your thoughts?
Damn, now would be an amazing time to jump on an apartment.
All the streets look fairly clean.
Can you please make a video explaining how to obtain a long-term visa to stay in Thailand? I'm sure many of your subscribers like myself would appreciate any advice you can share.
