I always think it’s important in Thailand to have something that throws a shadow across the pool so you can relax in the water whilst not being burnt alive 🔥
So far my pick is Grand Avenue.. I’ll choose bigger over newer any day.... And usually I’ll go for bigger over (a little better location) Must of the time... Lastly, The convenience factor usually out weights every thing Love watching your journey
Grand Avenue is great location for everything. Good condo with good price. No need for transportation since you're at central location and walk or take baht bus/motorcycle.
Thank u 😊 for nice to in PATTAYA .l' m from bkk. Thai ; but newbiees here for teaching of my yoga therapy classes . U seem to be so familiar to this city and very useful for me. I've chosen Unixx St PATTAYA already.. Thanks!!!!!
0:32 I'm pleased that ''Happy Friends'' bar is still up and running. Last time in Pattaya I stayed at Page 10 and popped across the soi in the evenings (I'm a lazy bugger) to hydrate whilst listening to their super-cool live band. 🎵🎵🍺🍺
I love the first one with the balcony. I think I would live out there!!! But I have to agree with you on those doors they come out of the tracks all the time and the unit was small as you said anyway thanks again we appreciate it. Stay safe. From the US
loved that building. I cheated and looked ahead after the last video and saw an online tour. Such a neat building! I'd love it, but understand where it wouldn't meet your needs. I'm loving this series! good luck on the search!
Great stuff, as always. Thanks! And super thanks for a quick view of my new condo development, Olympus. I pre-purchased a unit there about 4 years ago. Sadly, the project is now finished, but no unit owners can get to Thailand to seal the deal!
I think this is my favorite series of videos you have done so far, so far Grand Ave seems hard to beat, the views aren't as nice but everything else about it seems super solid
About 12 years ago I bought a penthouse 3 bedroom 133 SM unit for about Bt 46,000 per SM, including the kitchen fit out, flooring, curtains, and 4 AC units, now a new BTS station is in front of the complex and value has jumped 3-4 times. Love the space with a big kitchen and storage room, and tempted to sell, but newer condos are so tiny compared to older condos.
I love thailand and i always keep watchin videos of pattaya and bangkok..your videos are just amazing ..awesome camera quality which enhances the beauty of this land ..Totally in love 😍😍
Great info! I've heard you mention the Dark Side a few times. Any reason you're not looking in that area? Assume the prices would be even cheaper? Thanks for the great content!!!
Love all your vids. Watch them soon after they come out. Haven’t seen every video yet.... Subscriber as well. I gotta million questions for you: * Is/was Bangkok too expensive/busy for living in? * Did you end up not liking Bang Sen (sp?) * Does a motorcycle limit daily chores much (shopping etc) since it rains there more often than not? * What made you want to move to Pattaya... mostly cost of living, or a few more things to do (malls, restaurants etc)? * Your thoughts please on: Honda Forza 350 - Burgman 400 Just retired early, always wanted to retire in Thailand. Been there no less than 50 times. Have totally appreciated your Condo tours... just perfect for a guy like me. Thanks again L. Pat (A fellow American)
Ok! Good to see from this perspective, thanks! Was going to ask if there was a folder with all the condo search videos and I now see there is; nice! Good job! Looks like these units might be a bit small for my liking, good to know. Need to see which is the best now for my liking. 🤔🤔 Time to review. I will stay along for the rest of ride. Looking forward to the next installation. Thanks again! C ya when I c ya! 👍🏼🍻
I think for you... The Grand Ave was right next door to all your favorite stomping grounds. I would like to rent a place there for a month. Anything under a "grand" would be a steal for a month vacation. Wanna swim in that pool.
@Rides4Kicks I would recommend you check out Nova Ocean View on Pratummnak Hill. Myself and 3 friend all rented there before, big and nice units. I see online that there is a nice 85sqm 2 bed there for 20,000 baht a month, 43-45sqm studios from 11,000- 16,000 baht a month.
I like that Condo. I would like to have the modern furnishings including that Oven placed in an older hotel Larger Unit. I LOVE the snack bar /restaurant poolside! Thanks for the Tour again.
Good series of videos mate, always nice to see what's available. Agree that older condo's, whilst the amenities may not be as fancy, give better value as they are larger. They will still have pool/gym but not as up to date as some. We had a look at PKCP and you can get a 1 bed 113m2 for 25k and a studio 60m2 at 18k. The rooms are crazy big.
The 1st condo you showed us was very nicely layed out, but so tiny! Having to spend more that an hour with your partner, in such a small space, you would jump at each other's throat. It is definitely made for one person, not two - or then, just for the night.
Out the back of Rompho markets Jomtien, has a lot of New complexs. I rented a Brand new one bedroom unit there for 12,000 Baht a month. It was very handy to everything, however i was renting a scooter too.
I agree, some nice houses around at a reasonable price, even if you didn't want a pool in your garden you might find communal pools in an estate. Only thing with that type of house is they're going to be more on the outskirts rather than the centre of the action.
@@tanyavernon8459 yeah agree and then you have to pay for more utilities in a house and then a Gardener if your not a green thumb and possibly security. Would end up being more than a condo in the end.
@@tanyavernon8459 plenty to do on the dark side.a lot of people including me don't bother going into town anymore.Everything over here.Dont have to have a gardener if the place isn't that big,also plenty of low maintenance places around
Nice building,... But, I dunno, that condo is too claustrophobic for my tastes. It looks like wherever you took a step there was something in your way. Also, were they in the process of making Hadrian's wall out of mailboxes?
i agree with other comments about going to see a house! More room to relax and make it homely. These condos and shared facilities are not going to work out for most people.. Nice videos.
Just checked Airbnb, some very good condo deals from around 6000Baht a month, if you don’t like it just choose another one! The View Talay condo Iam in has agents on the ground floor and sometimes have private offers from individual owners, advertised on the grocery store window, just walk in and have a look on your own, is my advise!
Luke, I totally agree with the previous comment. You should consider looking at a house vice a condo. Fyi, i live in a basic Thai 2 bedroom house, roughly 800 meters from Big C extra, central Pattaya and pay $8000 baht a month rent. Granent it is not luxurios and does not have a pool and gym but you pay city electric and water, can park my car inside, have a living room, dining room and large kitchen. I Think you would be very surprised at what you could afford at $15k baht, expecially in our current situation. Good way to expand on your video series as well☺ Worth a look at alternative living arrangements.
Most houses for rent do not advertise. They mostly post for rent signs on the front of house. Best way to locate a house is to drive through nieborhoods you are interested in and look for rent signs then call for a viewing. Some also advertise on the bulletin boards at Big C and Foodland.
As the subscriber has said below...why don't you look at some housing's estate's located on the darkside. You'll probably find something that's double the sqm for the same price as these condo's. Thanks for the very interesting "Condo search" video...look forward to your next installment 👍
I thought the design of the walls and interior of the apartment seemed open, bright, and classy. Also the lobby looked grand with many amenities on site. Classy place! The construction will hopefully be mostly completed by December 1st. Just wished it had more of an actual garden. So far City Garden has my pick!
Hey L, do you think you would look at houses in a complex. You know with a pool and maybe a gym. I would need a place to bbq. Not allowed on condo balcony. For good reason. I think more room and less money, plus good secure parking. Thanks for all your good work. J.
City Garden Tower also has a hotel section situated on 4th and 5th floor, was staying at 4th floor in June 2019. All was brand new then, I think I was the first one staying in that room, furniture still smelled straight from the factory. The cafe on 3d floor wasn`t even built then, they used is as a storage room for the deck chair matrasses :)
Interesting because that place felt like it was designed for short term rentals rather than long stay people at least to me. My guess is most newer places have that in the back or even the front of their minds when they are designing them.
3rd road saved my life ! Really aggressive soi dog was chasing me, I walked straight into the traffic, dog was too scared to follow. Gave him the bone 🖕 and went merrily on my way ! 🐕😂
Don't understand the attraction of living in those great big tower blocks. The forever waiting for lifts and living so high up would drive me nuts. It's like living in a chicken coop or an anthill. Doesn't seem much floor space and they're using all the developer's tricks to make them seem larger. Very claustrophobic. Can't you find a small house to rent? That would be my choice. Good luck with the search.
I'd be scared of running out of running water, which was what was happening in many Pattaya condos before covid. When Thailand is dry, that's what sometimes happens in those high rise buildings.
There are tons of nice 2-3 bedroom houses and town houses for rent at 15-20 000 Bath a month. But you will not be in the center of Pattaya, but in the outskirt or closer to the outskirt. But still not much more than 15 minutes away in a Bath Bus to the beach anyway.
Yeah some really nice places there.. I've lived in Pattaya for a few years, and i;ve never seen some of the places you've visited. It just goes to show, that Pattaya has some much on offer. It would be interesting to know how much deposit they require and in your experience, how much of it do you normally get back.
Better turn that oven on to see if it actually works. Really nice place but you need a LADDER to get your mail? What if you fall off the ladder and break your neck? Is there a hospital in the condo building too? I would have liked to see a unit in Olympus. Sharp looking building and I think the units might have reflected this as well, albeit smaller than you'd like. Indeed a fruitful trip!
Wow. I had a City Garden room reserved for 2 months@$300 through Agoda for June and July but covid changed those plans. I guess I won't be going through an agency if I have to pay twice the rent for the same place.
Have you considered a house? Just saw a place W private pool on the DS for 20k. BBQ by the pool, bike parking for a couple bikes, etc. Might be nicer than a 40m condo.
@@Rides4Kickz Thank you Loucous, A friend of mine is following this series as he is looking to relocate here from the UK once the borders are open. He is still undecided between Pattaya and Jomtien. Very useful content 👍
That was kind of hilarious you showing us kitchen cabinets seemingly unaware of the deafening construction noise in the background. I'd have been like .." next !!" I think that place would be perfect for a non claustrophobic deaf dwarf.
New prices are higher because many people, especially Thais, do not like second hand property. City Garden fine for a week's holidays; I'd go stir crazy staying there long time.
One thing I've never heard you mention is if cleaning of any sort is included in the price. If not, how much for a once a week vacuum (mop) and dust? Thanks.
RIDES 4 KICKZ - You should view the CITY GARDEN CONDOS on Soi 15 at the back of The Avenue Shopping Mall. There are some great condos in this complex, many of which are very spacious at 60 sqm. A bit further down from City Garden is The Urban Condominium. The condos here are also quite spacious though the actual complex is rather dated.
If you want to live Soi15 you should take a look at Avenue Residence, it`s smaler and older but nice condo`s inside. I had a 55qm Condo for 15,000 for about 9 month.
@@badhabitz69 there are some others, but for me to expencive or too small balkony. A other tip for Soi15 is if you chose an outside room go at night to the condo (3am and later), there are some karaoke bars arround ;)
I saw a 60m condo at View Talay 5 For 8500 Bhat per month on Craigslist. There are some really good deals out there now. I think find by yourself without real-estate person. Go to the complex's.
so can someone tell me, when thailand opens back up, do the tourists start flowing back in? or are to many people hurting economically that tourism will be slow for a while? I've heard people say it will be slow going for a while once they open up. but others have said there is pent up demand and tourism will explode once this virus is contained and people can freely travel around the world as they wish. I'd like to move to thailand (as soon as they open back up) and rent a condo for at least a year. I would love it to be slow going (tourist wise) as I think it will give me a much better price on a condo rental.
I think you already have a good deal where you are, is there a reason you want to move to Pattaya ? how about the outskirts any better? anyhow another very good video thanks for sharing
That's too funny. I just watched a video of a guy who just moved out of that place and his apartment was the same layout and orientation as what you looked at. Imagine if it was the same apartment :) I think he said he was paying 10k bht/month but the standard rate was 15k bht. Don't know what the water and electricity was per month.
I don't know if you've lived in a hi-rise before but I have, and it's not enjoyable. The amount of time you spend simply to get from your apartment to the gate of the property can easily take 10-15 minutes depending on your floor level, elevator speed, etc. Compare it to your place in Bang Saen. You simply walk down one flight of stairs, walk 10 seconds, and you're on your motorcycle. It's a totally different experience living in one of these mega complexes. I wouldn't recommend it. The views look nice but in reality, it can be a chore simply to run a simple errand when living in one of those type of places.
@@badhabitz69 The majority of low rise (3 levels or less) units that are a bit older with a lot more space would be more suitable for easy-in, easy-out access. There are literally hundreds of them. Personally, for a furnished place I'd recommend looking at The Winner Place (search RUclips). No need for a scooter. Amazing rooms. Awesome location. 15 seconds you're out the door & have food, bars, etc at your doorstep. I guess the question you have to ask yourself is do I want views & amenities of a large building or the convenience & location (and lower prices) of small buildings with large floorplans. Since Lucas edits videos for hours a day, I can see the appeal of a nice view, quiet high rise, etc for him. But for most people, I think being closer to the action and not needing a motorcycle or scooter can be a big benefit. If you want quiet & cheap, then look at Jomtien.
From the City Garden Tower balcony i could see the Siwalai City Place where was situated my condo at VCC Condotel. May be you could ring Patrice Simondi , a trusty guy, to know if he can show you a condo. There is a big swimming pool there. Ask me if you want his number.
I have been living in a house on a Soi just off Third road for over 10 years .The in confidence of having to cross Third road is made up by living in a spacious 3 double bedroom house with off road parking for the car and plenty of personal outside space for 12k a month
When you do find a place you like don't forget the golden rule (He who has the gold makes the rules) The number of empty condos is crazy in Pattaya now.....Centric Sea has over 170 condos for rent......My point they WILL accept much lower than the asking price because of the Condo glut........I have not made an offer yet but I have no doubt I could rent a Condo at Centric Sea for 7,000 a month...
I looked at the Hyde Park Condos in Pattaya and they were quite nice and roomy. Rooftop pool and large balconies. I think you may enjoy a look at them. Great videos and I hope somehow you are able to keep the condo series going after you've picked your new place.
I enjoy your "hunting for a new condo series"
I always think it’s important in Thailand to have something that throws a shadow across the pool so you can relax in the water whilst not being burnt alive 🔥
Many options hey Lou! I'm looking forward to seeing the one that you choose. 👍
Me too
So far my pick is Grand Avenue.. I’ll choose bigger over newer any day....
And usually I’ll go for bigger over (a little better location)
Must of the time...
Lastly,
The convenience factor usually out weights every thing
Love watching your journey
Grand Avenue is great location for everything. Good condo with good price. No need for transportation since you're at central location and walk or take baht bus/motorcycle.
Yeah, top of the list
Some nice common areas but the condos themselves although nicely appointed are too small for me personally. An older one as you say will be better 😌 👍

I like having a coffee and food place down stairs. Looks like the older places is the way to go. A lot bigger. Keep looking.

It would be interesting to know how much deposit they require and in your experience, how much of it do you normally get back.
It is often 1 or 2 month deposit and the first moths rent up front, and you almost never get the deposit money back when you move out.
I have passed by many times also, going to Tony’s Gym. Very nice but condo is too small and expensive is not in my budget. Thanks 🙏
you should have a look at CCR. It`s behind 3rd road but also new and the most 35qm condos are around 15,000 per month
Better turn that oven on to see if it actually works.

Seems like people would rather have them sit empty than lower prices substantially. Hope they can afford to receive no rent until 2022.

Take look out Airbnb for monthly condo rates. You be pleasantly surprised at what you can get for well under Baht 10k.
Yes I have looked, biggest plus there is no deposit and no contracts
I like the apartment seems nice!
An oven is good for a Thanksgiving turkey, a Christmas ham and pizza.
Personally, I thought of ccoking a nice big Lasagna in it!
That was kind of hilarious you showing us kitchen cabinets seemingly unaware of the deafening construction noise in the background.
I'd have been like .." next !!"
I think that place would be perfect for a non claustrophobic deaf dwarf.

@@PREPFORIT that seems a tad unecessary mate
Great Vid!
New prices are higher because many people, especially Thais, do not like second hand property. City Garden fine for a week's holidays; I'd go stir crazy staying there long time.
Pattaya is soooooo hot, I don’t think I would use a balcony or other outside areas, except the pool. Units look nice.
Can you please make videos on The Base and Unixx
One thing I've never heard you mention is if cleaning of any sort is included in the price. If not, how much for a once a week vacuum (mop) and dust? Thanks.
250-500 bath depending on Size
You can hire a cleaner 3-500 baht per cleaning depending on the size
If the apartment is only 35 square meters, it is probably better to have one big room, walls take up space and makes the apartment feel smaller.
RIDES 4 KICKZ - You should view the CITY GARDEN CONDOS on Soi 15 at the back of The Avenue Shopping Mall. There are some great condos in this complex, many of which are very spacious at 60 sqm. A bit further down from City Garden is The Urban Condominium. The condos here are also quite spacious though the actual complex is rather dated.
I like that area a lot 👍
I will be looking at The Grand Avenue complex or any of the complexes around soi 15 behind The Avenue. Hoping to get a one bedroom condo for
That`s what i`ll be looking at when I come back to Pattaya as well.
If you want to live Soi15 you should take a look at Avenue Residence, it`s smaler and older but nice condo`s inside. I had a 55qm Condo for 15,000 for about 9 month.
@@thbl73 Will take a look. Thanks! Any other recommendations near by???
@@badhabitz69 there are some others, but for me to expencive or too small balkony. A other tip for Soi15 is if you chose an outside room go at night to the condo (3am and later), there are some karaoke bars arround ;)
please review Olympus city garden
6:15 what’s that banging, does it back onto soi6?
I saw a 60m condo at View Talay 5 For 8500 Bhat per month on Craigslist. There are some really good deals out there now. I think find by yourself without real-estate person. Go to the complex's.
That construction noise will drive you nuts, trust me
It`s equivalent to the slow water drip torture......
I heard of a giant condo project on Traphaset where the standard size is 25 square meters. Way too small for my liking.
i will move to the garden tower first of december.great place and location
Have you been to Majestic condo's Jomtien?
The last time I had a brief look at Pattaya there were over 200,000 empty homes in Pattaya
Corner apartment with 3 side view was cool. If you could have that in a bedroom it would be great. Too small unfortunately.
I liked the condos in the previous video better.
so can someone tell me, when thailand opens back up, do the tourists start flowing back in? or are to many people hurting economically that tourism will be slow for a while? I've heard people say it will be slow going for a while once they open up. but others have said there is pent up demand and tourism will explode once this virus is contained and people can freely travel around the world as they wish. I'd like to move to thailand (as soon as they open back up) and rent a condo for at least a year. I would love it to be slow going (tourist wise) as I think it will give me a much better price on a condo rental.
I saw some Lumphini condos near Jomtien Beach selling for only 1.5 million baht, thought that was pretty good deal 😎🙌
But I bet the size (under 30m2) is too small for a couple
That wet deck is for laying out and cooling off with the water.
The unit in City Garden Condo is small. If you farted in the bedroom, your guest can hear it in the living room.
I live in a house in the states and I still have that problem.
@@ste.ven.87
🤔What kind house is that?
And smell it
I think you already have a good deal where you are, is there a reason you want to move to Pattaya ? how about the outskirts any better? anyhow another very good video thanks for sharing
That's too funny. I just watched a video of a guy who just moved out of that place and his apartment was the same layout and orientation as what you looked at. Imagine if it was the same apartment :) I think he said he was paying 10k bht/month but the standard rate was 15k bht. Don't know what the water and electricity was per month.
I'm in love with Suzanne.

TIREOFPREF@ Ok, I will go back to watching cats.
@@PREPFORIT lighten up frances.
No you cant have her she is mine
@@fforest122 when she says city garden tower, she sounds as if she is saying titty garden tower.
I don't know if you've lived in a hi-rise before but I have, and it's not enjoyable. The amount of time you spend simply to get from your apartment to the gate of the property can easily take 10-15 minutes depending on your floor level, elevator speed, etc. Compare it to your place in Bang Saen. You simply walk down one flight of stairs, walk 10 seconds, and you're on your motorcycle. It's a totally different experience living in one of these mega complexes. I wouldn't recommend it. The views look nice but in reality, it can be a chore simply to run a simple errand when living in one of those type of places.
WHat places would you recommend then???
@@badhabitz69 The majority of low rise (3 levels or less) units that are a bit older with a lot more space would be more suitable for easy-in, easy-out access. There are literally hundreds of them. Personally, for a furnished place I'd recommend looking at The Winner Place (search RUclips). No need for a scooter. Amazing rooms. Awesome location. 15 seconds you're out the door & have food, bars, etc at your doorstep.
I guess the question you have to ask yourself is do I want views & amenities of a large building or the convenience & location (and lower prices) of small buildings with large floorplans. Since Lucas edits videos for hours a day, I can see the appeal of a nice view, quiet high rise, etc for him. But for most people, I think being closer to the action and not needing a motorcycle or scooter can be a big benefit. If you want quiet & cheap, then look at Jomtien.
@@bocamax Thanks for the reply! You're a legend. Very much appreciated.
how about Pattaya dark side, over past the rail line, 10 mins out Pattaya 3 bed house from 16000 p/m, if you want space
From the City Garden Tower balcony i could see the Siwalai City Place where was situated my condo at VCC Condotel. May be you could ring Patrice Simondi , a trusty guy, to know if he can show you a condo. There is a big swimming pool there. Ask me if you want his number.
Living on 3rd road will be a nightmare when the pandemic is over. Non stop tour buses and traffic jam all day long.
I was there last Dec, stayed at City Center Condo, felt like I won the lottery every time I made it across 3rd road without getting hit.
I have been living in a house on a Soi just off Third road for over 10 years .The in confidence of having to cross Third road is made up by living in a spacious 3 double bedroom house with off road parking for the car and plenty of personal outside space for 12k a month
When you do find a place you like don't forget the golden rule (He who has the gold makes the rules) The number of empty condos is crazy in Pattaya now.....Centric Sea has over 170 condos for rent......My point they WILL accept much lower than the asking price because of the Condo glut........I have not made an offer yet but I have no doubt I could rent a Condo at Centric Sea for 7,000 a month...
I looked at the Hyde Park Condos in Pattaya and they were quite nice and roomy. Rooftop pool and large balconies. I think you may enjoy a look at them. Great videos and I hope somehow you are able to keep the condo series going after you've picked your new place.
