- Bang Saray Beach condos, located south of Pattaya and Jomtien beaches in Thailand. Some allow pets if they are well-behaved.
Bang Saray Beach is much less busy than Pattaya and Jomtien, making it a peaceful place to live. From the beach, you can see Jomtien and Pattaya in the distance. Clean water, many trees, and quiet.
Sattahip Naval base borders Bang Saray's south side, a beautiful wooded area, giving quick access to other beaches with fewer people and clean water.

Remember prices vary depending on the time of year you view. I live in Jomtein and rent for far less only 8000 per month but if I had rented the same apartment in May the rent would have fallen to 6500. Also don’t be fooled about prices. Drive past any condo you are interested in at night and see how many lights are on. This gives an indication of the occupancy rate. Fewer lights the better deal you can negotiate.
Thanks for the good advice, Michael.
This is the best advice I’ve seen so far, thank you
I love dreaming away while watching apartment tours like these, and as everyone else is saying, you're definitely the best on this subject. You also seem very respectful and likable. Take care!
Thank you very much; I appreciate that.. 🙏🏼
Jake, your condo reviews are easily the best on you tube!
Wow, thank you! 🙏🏼
Always love when you upload!
Awesome, thanks! 👊🏼
Love how you add all the prices in baht/dollar on the screen. Thanks for all of the information
You're welcome. 👊🏼
Nice information, good video Thanks 👍👍
You're welcome and thank you. 🙏🏼
I was in Bangsaray recently and one of the Thai beach vendors tried to attack me and my car with a hammer because he didn’t like how I parked. I’ve been all over Thailand, top to bottom in the past 7 years, and never experienced violence like this from locals. I would suggest avoiding Bangsaray or being very careful when going there, it’s not a safe place.
Wow, that's crazy! Everybody I spoke with in Bang Saray said it's peaceful and quiet. Thank you for sharing your experience.
People say the ocean is dirty there.
@@user-yk4hp2zv7t The water looked clearer at Bang Saray than at Pattaya Beach when I was there.
thanks for the upload
You're welcome, and thank you. 👊🏼
Great video... i will definitely be looking here in this area.... the price difference is amazing. Thanks for following through on my request from your last video
Thanks! I'm happy you liked it. 👊🏼
great finds and great reviews
Thanks! 🙏🏼
That condo ground floor on the beach is amazing. With that huge padio. You can put a BBQ there and a lawn set.
That's precisely what Gig and I were thinking.
perfect job
Thank you! 🙏🏼
I like this quiet town with fewer tourists. Wondering if there are studios there? I'm only 1 person and a minimalist. Thank you for the informative video.
You're very welcome. Studios and 1bed/1bath units are the easiest to find available. It takes more effort finding the available 2 and 3 bedroom units.
Hey Jake, great content. I'm thinking of coming the Thailand for about 3 months. Where do you recommend that I go to find a nice 1 bedroom place that does not require a 1 year lease? With beach access?
Thank you! Pattaya and Jomtien have the highest concentration of places to stay. Pattaya Beach location will put you right in the action. Super busy with tourists but easy access to everything. A person could walk everywhere from Pattaya beach.
Airbnb and small boutique hotels are the best way to stay for only three months. I prefer the nice owner-operated boutique hotels because they are usually less expensive than Airbnb. However, Airbnb is a better option if you need a condo with a kitchen or a luxury condo, and it's easier to find one of these units with a beach view and/or beachfront access. Some larger hotels will also have monthly rates.
When I arrive in a new area, I'll stay at a hotel for a few days while I check out places for a longer-term stay. There are many options.
Anything bigger, 3 bed condo? Do you have any recommendations for house rentals? For family living. Thanks
Yes, there are 3-bedroom condos and houses available to rent. I haven't looked into renting or buying a house so I don't have any specific details or recommendations, unfortunately.
I could live the Bang Saray Condo 1 bedroom. Would order out every day but try to keep it healthy
That's exactly how I would live if I didn't have Gig here cooking for me.
I noticed there was an additional fee or charge for the electric stove in this video. Is this common with all condo rentals?
No, that's not common.
Do you just go to the juristic office at each condo and enquire, or did you use an agent?
I go to the office. I avoid using an agent because I want to save their time. I look at many units before I decide where to rent and which unit to rent.
Really pay attention to the Electric charge fee. I once paid 8baht so my electric was 4 to 6,000 a month.. now I pay the low govt fee and my elec is only 2,500.
Good advice! 👊🏼
Hey Jake, keep up the great videos!
I was wondering something. Maybe you find a cheap place that's perfect. You only need to stay 3 months, but they don't offer month to month. Can you take a 6 month contract if they offer it, pay for everything up front and leave earlier?
Thank you! 🙏🏼 Yes, you could pay everything upfront and leave early but you'd lose your deposit. I think it's best to avoid paying everything upfront. There are many available condos in Thailand that will do a month to month, and some do a three month. I prefer the shorter terms. Unlike in the US the rental terms seem to be negotiable at many units here in Thailand, except for the luxury condos.
Good review. If you need add wifi to a unit that doesn't have , what's the cost and long will it take company to come out and install? Thanks
Thank you. To add AIS high-speed internet/WiFi, it'll cost ฿500 ($14.07) and usually takes 2-3 days to get service installed.
Remember this ... electricity is VERY EXPENSIVE in Thailand and you MUST run your A/C all the time when you are inside your room or you will sit in a puddle of sweat. A 31sqm room is quite small but easy to air-condition. The bigger the apartment, the higher your electric bill and you could be looking at 3000-5000baht a month for electric for a 2-Bd apartment.
Thanks for sharing the information. 👊🏼
Planning a week vacation in Bang Saray at Del Mare.
Did you have a chance to look at Del Mare?
I tried getting into Del Mare twice, and Gig tried once over a couple of months. Each time, I was told there were no vacant units available. It looked like a very nice property from the outside.
Everytime Gig says " like monk bed is hilarious "@@JakeSnowLiveSimple
😂
Everything included but not electric and water. 👍🏼
👊🏼
electric at 7 baht is almost double the government rate which is 4.5 baht
Yeah, that's right.
Where you suggest I live if I do not want to rent a scooter or a car?
I'd stay between Pattaya Beach and Central Pattaya. Everything I would need to live is within a mile, at most 2 miles, radius of these areas. Food, laundry, and entertainment are everywhere, within minutes of walking.
i wanna move so bad to thailand :D
It's inexpensive and delightful here.
How much water and electric per month roughly.
Here are averages based on our experience living in Pattaya.
Water: ฿150 ($4.07) per month per person.
Electric: ฿3,500 ($94.41) - 6,500 ($175)
The location of the unit within a complex is a bigger factor than actual square feet. Top floors on the sun side are much more expensive to cool. Also, March - October will have the highest electric bill due to AC.
Some condos are positioned perfectly to allow a breeze to flow through, making it comfortable to run the AC less. Others are like an inferno.
When I finally move I think Chang Mai is my destination, but I really hope we do cross paths!! I love content!! 🩷
I'd like that very much. 👊🏼
CAN you give the contact to rent a condo in APUS for 2 month. Thank you
Unfortunately, the Apus units were only available with a 6-month or 12-month lease.
Please make a video on VISAs covering everything
Here's the link to my visa video. th-cam.com/video/BcalrIWDJ-I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ivAAN34neuF30_lg
Are there any penalties if you break a 1 year lease early to move to another location?
Yes, a tenant that breaks a lease will lose their deposit money.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple
Do you ever get your deposit back ? I've known places that won't ever give it back
Yes, I've never experienced issues getting my deposits back. So far, every owner or manager I've dealt with has been honest and pleasant to work with.
Thanks for asking about pets!
You're Welcome. 👊🏼
Is it just me or are the prices escalating ?
I still travel to the US often to deal with real estate. In comparison, everything in Thailand is so inexpensive that I haven't noticed rents or property values moving up.
Have you tried out the Peugeot Xp 400 gt?
No, I haven't. I'd love to ride one If I can find one available here in Thailand.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple I have rented Xp 400 gt and the adv 350. The Peugeot have little bit more power and spoked tires. I think Honda is a better bike on all aspect except for this two points. Would like to see what other bikers think.
Good info, thanks for sharing. Where did you rent the XP400 GT?
@@JakeSnowLiveSimpleGermany
I’m glad most places do not allow pets 👌
It seems to be about a 50/50 split between pet owners and non-pet owners.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple I would not like a howling dog next to my unit I’ve lived in the Philippines and that’s all you hear roosters and dogs 😫
I can understand how that would get annoying.
Dicking around with the prices Goobye!
Some folks like negotiating, Gig enjoys it. It's not my preference.
Nobody want s to wait until the end to hear prices.@@JakeSnowLiveSimple
Oh, I see. I'm just sharing my experience how I look at condos. I like to ask questions after I've seen the property to make sure it's worth while to ask questions. I look at many properties that I never put in videos. I save many hours by seeing first, asking questions second. Seeing the property first before getting the details makes more sense to me.
Thank you for your feed back, always appreciated. 🙏🏼
To me the sooner you put the price on the screen, the better. I got tired of waiting and went to the comments, and then fast forwarded to try and find what I'm looking for. Probably cause I'm old but there's just to much blah blah.
Thank you for your feedback, it's always appreciated.
Sea water here is not clean very dirty rubbish left on beach and in water.
The sea water was clean when I was there, but I did notice the public beach area had trash on it. I didn't spend time in that busy area, I only rode by. I was further south on the beach. Thanks for sharing info.
What depressing rooms 🤮
I liked them. Why do you say, depressing?
Condos are too small and too narrow. They are shoeboxes
Anything above 40 sq. meters is a comfortable size for most people. The 29 sq. meters and smaller feels similar to living in an RV.
