Another great clip, Heath. The info you lay out about prices and places are a very necessary tool for anyone planning to come, or even for those who may be resident and be unaware. There is NO SUCH THING as TOO MUCH INFORMATION. Good quality, to the point, and without all of the wasted filler that so many other clips throw in that just waste time. Thank you for all of your efforts.
@@fromoneendofthailand if I end up moving permanently to Jomtien I would love to treat you and Lamporn to dinner or something... I would owe you guys at least that much 🤭
Thanks Heath for the helpful tips, you spend a lot of time and energy putting these videos together and its much appreciated by all 👍 and nice to see Lamporn back we've missed her in the last couple of videos ❤🙏
Very interesting I've been here on and off for 20 years now, never heard of the aircon power trick. But it makes sense, gonna try it. I found you through your Brian Jacks, View Dee video. Your standard of presentation has improved as your confidence has grown.....Good Luck.
The 24 to 26 degree range is optimal for all warm climates in the world. Some countries now even restrict the lowest temperature setting as the amount of energy used is very high at the lower end. Also the older the aircon unit the harder it works to achieve your temperature setting, so regular maintenance is important.
A great theme.'The informative series'.........an infinite amount of tips and info to your usual backdrop of entertaining footage and laid back narration.......................don't change anything, jperhaps ust a few surprises and maybe a twist or two.............
Recently discover your channel and thanks for the info. I fly 4 May and stay in Naklua this time but always visit Jomtien because i like it there. Maiby see you there.
Thanks Heath Very informative there was 3 or 4 there that I didn’t know nice to find your channel, you do remind me of Dan in Thailand . Stay safe my friend……sky
Hello From England, I have just subscribed to your channel and find your videos very enjoyable and helpful. I am coming to Jomtien for the first time on the 15th June, and looking forward to my visit. Would be nice to meet up for a drink and some food if you’re free, once again great videos, Paul.
Thanks for the Excellent video, Sir! I recently arrived here in Pattaya, and your videos are definitely a great help to me in getting acclimated to local customs. Thanks again.
All good tips, and a beautifully made video….but 166 Baht Jomtien to Pattaya could be on the high side. A week ago, middle of April, got a Bolt air conditioned taxi for 95 baht, from condo near the Jomtien bus station to Avenue shopping, or Soi 11. Motosai option would have been about 70 baht. But I must know where that street food grill can be found. Thanks much
BOLT app taxi service is not government approved GRAB is but costs more due to taxes. I used bolt extensively on my last trip to Pattaya in March. Mostly no problem and unbelievably cheap however if you get your GPS in a strange spot the ride seems to be getting close but never turns up.
Thanks. I can't remember if I took my passport when I got my sim as it was 6 years ago, but a subscriber mentioned that he had to take his more recently so best to have it with you in case you are asked.
Love your channel from Montreal..Spent 6 weeks last February and will return for 60 days February 2025..Hope to touch base with you..Btw, we often took bolts on those hot days from the Copa to Pattaya for 90 baht..But the Baht Bus for 10B,Can’t beat that..
love watching your videos pal really helpful, could you possibly do any videos of 2 bedroom condos and the rough price of them ? thanks mate keep up the top work 👍🏻
Those are some great pointers! I was wondering, would a Berkey stainless steel gravity water, purifying system work with tapwater in the Philippines? Or maybe a gravity feed set up with a Sawyer Water purifier for like backcountry backpacking. I used a Sawyer mini when I was in Cuba with their tapwater and never had any problem. I just bought a few bottles of purified water and refilled them with my gravity feed Sawyer mini set up. That saved me quite a bit of money, not having to buy bottled water all the time.
Hello Heath, new subscriber enjoyed your video very much, very informative. When you say expensive in the electric bill what is expensive for a monthly bill. Thank you again.
Hi Luigi. Welcome to the channel. My electric bill is normally around 600 - 750 baht per month. However, I rarely use the aircon as I have a constant flow of sea breeze through my condo.
Great Video Mate...! Very informative and entertaining stuff as usual..! I’m Also I really enjoy your early morning walking and footage of your Drone around Jomtien beach. So peaceful and relaxing...! May I ask you please which Camera are you using in your Vlogs ? I find the quality and the resolution of the pictures truly awesome. Enjoy your weekend and thanks again for sharing your lovely Videos.
Thanks for this kind comment. I use an iPhone 12, and edit with Final Cut Pro X. My drone is a DJI Mini Pro 3. Both filmed and edited in 4K and mixed down to 1080p. Used to mix down to 4K but I find 1080 smooths the sharp edges.
@Heath2027 NBTC changed the laws years ago. They had a grace period until July 31, 2017 at which time unregistered Sims could not make outgoing calls and data would not work. It affected Prepaid and Postpaid. I obviously used my passport to get a postpaid account in 2004 as I had a business here, but I still got a message to say bring your current passport to DTAC shop before that date or my service would be affected.
@@fromoneendofthailand one q not related to video please ka , i not sure if you can help. I am In condo tv has no wifi pack , I want some access to uk 🇬🇧 tv , not a lot , just a few channels , so they are nearly completing installation of super optic Ais wifi here. Once it’s done I assume I pay the Jurustic office for it once connected ? It’ll take a few weeks I’d think as are 20 floors here. And yes re the phone package. Last time I used Ais at airport. But this time I got free month sim with dtac on Thai business so carrying on with them. Very good , often have different packages to select even when in current one. I’m paying 900 b for 3 months , very reliable service so far , I saw yesterday 2500 for 12 months .. sorry for long message here 🙏
Hi Heath New subscriber here 🙋 very informative video, thanks. I will be heading to Jomtien in a couple of weeks , if you're free at some point I 'd like to buy you a coffee in person as a thanks for your content
Heath a question about the money transfer service, I understand it's not simple to walk in and open a Thai bank account if say staying in Pattaya for six months of the year, would I be correct in believing certain agents for a fee could make the bank account happen? thanks as always for sharing your videos.
Hello. Yes, an agent would sort this out for a fee. However, best to try yourself before you go paying an agent. I explained that I needed the account so I could apply for my retirement (long-term) visa. That had them thinking I was about to deposit a large amount and they gave me an account. This video may help ruclips.net/video/hZfM7PO4kzE/видео.html
Great info n help to the newbies here so thx Heath. Think if get a regular drinking water vat delivery it’s even cheaper than bottle delivery as noticed delivery guys at the condo often. Might be worth checking out?? Good info re thai SIM cards too. Plenty markets nowadays in Jomtien which is good. However don’t buy the cheap sunglasses as won’t give you good protection against the hot sun there…need proper protection as will damage your eyesight in the long run. Hope you get to 6k subs soon!., 🤔😉😎👍🏻
I get my water from the osmosis drinking water refill stations. Paying 5 baht for 6 liters. I have one next to my building and have not had any issues with it. Use fewer plastic bottles too.
Nice vlog Heath Maybe you know where I can hire out a Lazer dinghy for an hour or two as I'm into sailing, in the Jom tien area preferabely? Hoping to come out for 2/3 months later in the year. Cheers Barry
Good point. You need a network for when you want it to find your pick up location unless you are in a location with WIFI, so yes you will need a Thai network.

thanks Heath and Lamporn😊 good point about aircon, i usually just use a fan unless it's very hot
So do we. Rarely use aircon as we are high up and have a constant air flow through the condo.

Those food carts were on Jomtien Beach Road.
The same distance in Phuket would cost you a minimum of 500 baht so 166 sounded very cheap to me

This Yank says Thanks brother. Going to try the water delivery. Better than hauling it in the sawngtaw...of course they deliver! Duh
Yes. I normally buy 800 baht worth and it lasts the two of us six weeks. I was running low when I made the video, ha ha. 😎
Point 3 additional: if you stay longterm in an apartment,try to clean the filter every 5/6 months,it good for yr health and and money.

If you buy a SIM card you'll need to have your passport on hand.... Thanks for the video... Good quality.
Hi Alain. I only found that if signing up for a package. But you could be right. 😎
If you do not register a sim card with your passport, the law makes them cut the sim card off after 6 months.
@Shannon. I have never heard this?
@Heath2027 NBTC changed the laws years ago. They had a grace period until July 31, 2017 at which time unregistered Sims could not make outgoing calls and data would not work.

Does the water delivery company you show at 8 minutes, 28 seconds deliver in Central Pattaya also?
I am not sure on that but there will be stores that deliver in Pattaya. You can also get it delivered via Grab Food from the 7-Eleven.
Doesn''t BOLT require a Thai SIM card? You did not mention . I don't think it works without a Thai #. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Good point. You need a network for when you want it to find your pick up location unless you are in a location with WIFI, so yes you will need a Thai network.
