My name is Brian but everyone calls me Greeny. I retired in January of 2020 after working 30 years in Law Enforcement. I wanted to retire young enough to be able to do some of the things I always dreamed about! I knew I wanted to travel extensively and retire somewhere warm and exotic I sampled a ton of places in the Caribbean, Panama, Colombia, Turkey but set my sights on Thailand.

Don’t buy trouble with your money… best rent not buy that includes the women right Greeny 😉
I love owning stuff. But you make a valid point
I’ve been to most of the high end condos in Pattaya. I’ve noticed the same pattern of shoddy construction, no ongoing maintenance and not so good management. Better to rent and hop around when things go south.
Definitely a viable option. People do buy them. They are selling
I like that the developers have an awesome pedigree:)
Nothing beats a pedigree!!
Do your own diligence, never listen to the salesman especially a farang 😅 😂 nice condo btw rent it don’t own it just like Thai girls 😅
I like Ben's honesty. "A glorified hotel room" and that is correct. He then goes on to say "as an investment property it makes a lot of sense". That may be so, but who wants to live in a revolving door AirBnB hotel? Not condusive to a peaceful life from what I've seen. 55 Baht Square metre Common Area Fee (service charge) is only an estimate and likely under estimated. My condo started at 39 Baht SqM (in 2009) but it was obvious the Common Area Fee was too low and after first year it increased by more than 30%.
As for "Thai Quota" then good luck with that. You'll be taking a chance buying in a company name. As scrutiny of foreigners using Thai nominees increases (recent news) then you can never be sure of security of your "investment". Not for me thanks. Foreign quota is the only safe option for foreigners.
Hi Eddie. Thanks for the comments. Much appreciated. In Thailand it is illegal to rent units out daily unless the building has a hotel license. That Isn't to say it doesn't happen. Ive worked for developers for many years and you do get a lot of people that use the units part time buying them and folks that are happy with a smaller space. Personally I prefer larger spaces, but as a part time pad these are done well. Ive seen common fees as low as 30 THB. For the building 55 THB is more than adequate, and if you look at the how they are maintained there are no issues there.We just wanted to showcase these units and projects as they are amazing value for what you are getting. I know of quite a few units in the 22 - 27 SQM range that are 10 years old in Thai name in this location asking the 2.2M +. These smaller boutique buildings are great. There is a good sense of community and the facilities are not over-crowded.
25 SQ MTRS the size of a garage in UK . Whats next 5 MTRS 🤣🤣🤣
Get what you pay for. Basically like a hotel room. Most already sold.
May as well be in a hotel room and have freedom of mobility and liquidity.
small garage
I found an 82sqm seaview and I feel like I am living in a mansion compared to these new properties.😂
@@alanharrison694 Yes I can imagine these new projects are a joke.
Make sure your comfortable with Russian...Soi 5-6-7 the new Phuket..
Renting = freedom. Owning = Prison
The penthouse is a gem. Nice one Greeny. Happy travels and stay safe. God bless you👍🏿..
Thanks. That could be a sweet pad
We (my family) own a combined studio apartment property in Bangkok in a full service building near the Bang Sue train station. As an individual unit it feels small but combined feels a lot bigger.
I’d like to get one for myself either in Hua Hin or Pattaya
Nice! I need a place in BKK
I`d have said 35 square meters was average for a Studio flat in Pattaya - not 25. 25 square meters is tiny
He said the new constructions. How old is yours? Many of the new places are tiny
@@GreenyTravels5 yrs they'll be 20sq m will still sell out
Agree. Personally I couldn’t live long term in a place that small but it seems to be the trend. I’m ok in an older place
Snake oil salesman
Great show Greeny! I'll just build a house in Korat when I get there! Stay cool bud! P.S. it's 25 here in Bad Axe and suppose to snow Friday the 22nd! 😮
I’ll come check it out Biff
Nice video
Appreciate it
The metric system is very easy. 60 kmh is as fast as you should drive. 60 kg is upper weight limit for your women and 60 sqm should be the smallest apartment you consider.
Great advice! 😃
That’s a good one but I can’t drive 55….or 60
@@GreenyTravels 5555
In Siam Oriential Dream if you combine units you have to pay for double internet, also Electricity & water is higher than govetnment rate
Some interesting things to explore
I have a combined 82sqm, and I get a separate electric bill for each one, but both at govt rates.
The bedroom is slightly smaller, but we leave the a/c on all night and is slightly costlier than the open living room and kitchen.
Always enjoy your Videos Greeny ...Appreciate the efforts you go to.
Dale (Perth Australia)
Thanks. I enjoy it. What else am I gonna do? 😂
The Sicilian pizza looks great! Don’t see many around in Pattaya.
O. First for me. Was very good and a reasonable price
Good video mal out good to be back greeny
Thank you
Thanks Greeny, have to say the apartments were well finished but seemed compact✌🏿🥰
Not too shabby
Very expensive
Agree. The so called penthouse is way over priced.
Really great information , I am going back to Thailand in July and will lease a condo for 1 year in Pratumnak !! Enjoy ...
Good area.
It not yours if you buy nice area if you are Russia
The First Pizza Spot In Pattaya, That Actually Looks 💣!👍 Thanks!
4 different cheeses on there. Great deal
The agent sounds like a South African
Aussie and USA. But over the years my accent has gone a little haywire.
Man that is TIGHT quarters. Can the washer door Fully open that close to the toilet? I visited a freind in a 32 sq m condo down there and thought that size was a cracker box. But you're selling out so good for you
That’s the sizes. If you want new that’s what you get. I bought an older building. I’ve done many videos about those too
@@GreenyTravels Thanks Greeny, got a modest house upcountry. I do like small and tight but not for living quarters. Good videos you are putting out!
What is distance to beach?
Why didn't you give all prices😢
I actually like the studio better hope you mention price
Email me. Greenytravels@gmail.com.
Nice and beautiful place 😮🤗😊🫰❤️🎉🎊
Great locations
The crash is imminent and incoming durect from Chy-Nahhh therfore ill necer buy and if i did ill pay nothing over 40k for that dog box!
How much is 35 sq meter unit
Was the washing machine installed before the toilet? I think so.
pee & poop splashback on the washer😂 fantastic layout.
Looks like a lady-boy preparing the pizza. You almost burned the hell out of your mouth on that pizza.🤣🤣🤣
Not sure about that first statement
Beautiful properties for sure. I don't think I've ever heard the word "obviously" spoken so many times in my life. 80% of the time he said that word, the information was good and not necessarily obvious. He should try to work on that. 😊
Thank you for the feedback. I should actually do a better job to edit unnecessary words out.
What are condo dues?? It takes 2 seconds to say …. People like to know dues, taxes, etc
For which unit? Shoot me an email and I will get it
I know Siam Oriental Dream will be 55 baht per sqm per month when completed.Council rates are so low its not even a consideration.. a few hundred baht a year.
Steve, what’s usually included? Here in the US assoc dues include water , sewer and trash
Sewer is included.Water use and electric are additional.for me in 72 sqm with a washing machine and 3 ac units with 2 people living here full time water is always less than 400 baht a month and electric less than 1700 baht a month in the hottest part of the year.You get maintainance workers cleaners receptionists insurance for the building trash ...pretty much everything.
Thank you Steve
What are the rules to buying a Condo, for Foreigners?
Most of these are in foreign title so just like buying a property at home you own it. The penthouse is a bit more complicated
@@GreenyTravels Thanks.
How much for the studio and double studio
2 double up to 4.3
What's up skid Marks?
I'd never buy, rent yes.
That’s what’s great about Thailand. Up to you!!
Why do you keep pronouncing Siam as “see-am” and not “sy-am”?
Tomato tomato 🍅
because he's the boss ... that's why
Staliniam Oriental, Akh da!
lol. Funny one
You have to wonder why the land of smiles is being overtaken by people who never smile.@@GreenyTravels
So, live in your bedroom…..not too glitzy….
There are bigger units, they go up to 109 SQM in that project.
a bit expensive for 22sq mt IMHO
25 sqm was the smallest i think
@@GreenyTravels , sorry I got it wrong
82,000 THB / SQM for a brand new unit in this location with these amenities in a foreign name is a steal. Would challenge someone to find a better deal on a brand new build in the same location.
@@roycerealestategroup , glad you think so
@@roycerealestategroupit could be 45,000 THB/SQM in 10 years like the other Siam Oriental projects
Units look great, but pet friendly, not for me 🤔
I didn’t see any but I’m sure they are there
10,000,000 TB ($286,000 U.S. dollars) is cheap for 119 Sq meters (1,280 sq ft) Is a deal with that balcony and view. In Miami you will pay 3-5 million U.S. dollars. You're right the potential is limitless. Very informative.
Yea. A lot of potential with that one
Yes. This is one of the best deals I’ve seen. If you put 30 - 50K USD into it you could create an amazing penthouse style property. That balcony is phenomenal.
Thailand is not Miami, do not make a mistake comparing it as if it were like for like.
The chinese real estate market is collapsing. Mainland Chinese buyers will disappear. It is a 60 trillion dollar collapse. not 60 million nor 60 billion but 60 trillion of blackhole debt that chinese banks are holding. blackhole debt is worse than regular debt because the gov keeps forcing banks to loan to those same people so the collapse does not become evident to the world. Those are non performing loans on over 2 billion empty units. the tsunami that will sweep through se asia will be incredible. Buying as an investment in se asia has lots of risks because they are tied at the hips to china. their currencies will collapse if china devalues the rmb to 11-14. China can pump it, but it looks like they are doing far too little to stop it. Give it two years and the real waves will hit if they continue to do nothing. Good luck investing. At one time I thought American debt at 34 trillion was ridiculous. China just pushed all it gov debt onto banks and local jurisdictions. They are over 100 trillion with an economy half the size of america because 33 percent of their gdp relates to construction.
Good info Paul.
60 trillion? Not possible.
Do the research. It is an internal ponzi scheme to keep growth rates at ridiculous numbers with very little demand.
visit the ghost towns in china and ask where did the money come from to produce housing unit numbers that are 3 times the population. it definitely is not demand driven. where did the money come from to create industries overnight. the sole purpose of the ponzi scheme is to destroy western companies using trade imbalances and fake gdp numbers. china uses their worthless rmb to buy up assets all over the world. it is an actual war that is being waged. sadly, westerners are very naive about what china has been doing but its internal corruption was caught with its developers who are now collapsing. that is only the tip of the iceberg. these 20 million units in china and millions around the world are chump change. Look at forest city and other places all around the globe. china has put a halt on almost all money leaving china by its citizens. I will nit predict the date but at some point the communist ponzi scheme will unravel and the world will be totally screwed.
I wouldn’t think of it as an investment. I’d consider any funds brought to Thailand as gone forever. If you want to lock in your cost and live there 10 years or more, maybe.
Yep there are 10milliondollar homes in China RN that wint amd can't sell, along w units/condos! China is screwed along w food services and hospitality IT WILL come thick n fast to Thailand and over to Australia amd so it goes! It's crashing n burning hard! Its not going to be pretty....
ripp off al this smal rom in thailand,better use your money on something good and nice in life.
Thanks but No thanks, I'll let Greeny buy it for 10 million Baht.
lol. I’d love that place but I’m tapped out.
We need more information about new taxes roules
Me too
In that soi has an horrible abandonated castel condo.
