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.
Thanks. I really appreciate the comment. Glad you liked it. 😎
Keep putting out quality videos like these and you’ll be at 10K subscribers by end of May.
Your friend, Shakin Curtis
Thanks, Shakin. 😁
The view at 4 minutes was fantastic from that balcony ..sky was amazing.
It was. I had to include it. 😎
@@fromoneendofthailand of course....
love the storm scene. cool.
Thanks. 🙏
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 ❤🙏
Thank you, Robert. That's appreciated. 👍
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.
Thanks, Phil. Yes, Brian is a good friend. 👍
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.
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.
That skyline with the clouds from your building... Wow!!
Yes, it was impressive. 😎
Thanks for sharing Heath/Lampom, very informative that and also very interesting, great video and regards from England 🍺🍹👍
Cheers, David. 👍

You're welcome. 👍
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.
Great video, Heath! Lots of good information. Still love the music. And Lamporn is lovely and charming as always. You two are so good for each other.
Cheers, Dan. Did you notice your shout-out?
@@fromoneendofthailand I did thanks...
@@fromoneendofthailand I look forward to mine one day 😊
@Jon Hobson. Shout-outs are normally for subscribers I bump into here in Jomtien. But I might do one for you. 😎
@@fromoneendofthailand ok understand, no worries Heath ka
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
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
Good informative video Heath!
Thank you. 😎
Thankyou for your vid I really enjoyed it
You are very welcome. 👍
Very informative and useful tips Heath
Thanks. 😎
Good info Heath . When are you gone show us where we can rent a bicycle ?. Have a great weekend
I was looking into this. It's coming soon. 👍
You could try Ch.Numchai - he might have something for you to rent. Located on Thepprasit road. He opens at 10am.
I like your videos which have narration like this. The information is very helpful as well as useful. Well done.
Thanks, Michael. 👍
Have a good time in n Jomtien and good 01.Mai. Best wishes Siri and Uwe
Thanks. 👍
Great video Keith. I’m heading to Pattaya next week for 6 months.
Thanks. You'll love it. 😎
Another great vid …I think you are on of the best ..was in Jomtien and Pratumnak for April ..wow thought I was in Russia !
Thanks, Alan. 👍
nice video Heath
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍
Good video Heath 👍😁
Thank you, Dee. 👍
Some cracking tips there, Wise is a very good app. kap ❤
Thanks, Ian. 👍
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!., 🤔😉😎👍🏻
Thanks, Gordon. 😎
@@fromoneendofthailand welcome as mobile SIM cards & internet services for Wi-Fi are important being there as are TV boxes for sports movies etc…
Not a biggy but you WILL need your passport to get a SIM card. The air con should make the lower settings IF it has been sized correctly. Good tips!
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.
Great advice thank you !!! Lovely girlfriend also
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.
Bolt is great. Keep your money away from those motorcycle taxi thieves
What about export shops and Mr DIY? Or Lazada??? Missed loads of stuff mate...
Lazada was mentioned in the following video.
Thanks Heath, good stuff. BTW, what is the name of that market in #2?
Thank you. Not sure on the name of that one but it's the smaller one in Thepprasit Road. 😎
Re your air con running at 25 degrees , Ok if you’re unit is maintained and ( CLEAN) ,
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
Thank you. Yes, if time allows. 👍
@@fromoneendofthailand There should be know problem with that, as I will be there a minimum of 30 days and will look to extend if I can
Hi Heath
In Jomtien now, let me know when you're free for that coffee I promised you ✅

Email me via my website @@pjohns3891
Very interesting.
Good one Heath !
Thanks. 👍
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.
Sounds good. 👍
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.

@@fromoneendofthailand Thank you very much Heath 👍🙂
Love Money Saving Tips 👍🏽
Thanks. 😎
Thanks again for your work and tips in this video ! I will be there in 2 weeks , if I see you around the beer is on me ... Enjoy .
Cheers, Karl. See you soon. 👍
Great tips Heath! Do you know of any gyms in Jomtien where you can get a workout in?
There is one on the Thappraya Road as you come into Jomtien, by the golden (blue) arch. But you will find most condos have gyms.
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.
Yes, good advice. 👍
Nice 👍
Very informative video and you can get water from the machine 1 baht per litre I think or has it gone up now
That's correct and it is still 1 baht. We do use water from the machine for tea or coffee after boiling.
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
Ah, sorry, Barry. This is not something I know about. 😐
@@fromoneendofthailand A shot in the dark, but worth a try as you seem to know most things in the Jom tien area, thanks anyway regards Barry.
Thank you
You're welcome. 🙏
Thanks very helpfull
You're welcome. 👍
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. 😎
Dan, are we talking about the Theprasit night market Jomtien that used to open only on saturday night at 6pm, ? but now is open every day at 5pm ?
Don't top yourself, Heath!
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. 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.
That won't apply to new sim cards. You mention 2004, that's 19 years ago.
Nice music Heath
Thanks. These ones were just from the RUclips library. Not mine. 😐
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.
Yes, the plastic is another thing to consider. 👍
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.
Very helpful, thanks from Toronto Canada
You're welcome. 😎
I've been saving the green bills for the Hop on bus. So I've been paying double for about a month since arriving. So it's 25 cents instead of 50 cents? Maybe I save coins? I won't wait for a quarter change. It feels too cheap to me
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.
Is thailand considering a monorail or train to get around and service the jomtien and pattaya areas?
Not that I know of. There's nowhere to put one here and there's already a bus service.
Is Lampon back? I missed her
Provided your thai sized more available less available in western sizes or plus sizes
You are correct. Still a lot to choose from. 😎
nice
Markets yes very good value & also street food vendors.
Cheers, Jon. 👍
@@fromoneendofthailand my gf not like restaurants much , prefers the street stalls , small set up seat places , as do I.
Yes, most Thai women do. 👍
@@fromoneendofthailand we sometimes go restaurants but she not too keen. Also I eat mainly Thai food so that’s good.
@@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 🙏
What’s your view on health insurance, what is the cheapest option?
Hello, Billy. Does this video help? ruclips.net/video/bF2-GKNNWII/видео.html
The Baht bus charged me 20 baht for a ride from soi 7 jomtien to terminal 21 today. Wtf is with that?
That is the fee for going to the other side of Pattaya from Jomtien. If you go from Jomtien and further than Central Festival you would be expected to pay 20 baht.
@@fromoneendofthailandfirst time for everything. I got the pleasure of inhaling massive amounts of diesel exhaust as well 😂
Hi mate I live across from the Colosseum next to the fresh market But the one you show in your video is different I think is it? Cheers
Hi Charles. I am not sure of what you are referring to? I show 2 markets in this video.
@@fromoneendofthailand the fresh vegetables & meat ?
Small one. Further down the Thepprasit Road.
I show both in this video. 👍
