        This is my very first time to post a thread so please bear with me.  This morning I got an interesting email from one of the Pattaya real estate offices.  It was chock full of information on both the history of Pattaya condo projects and what's in store for the next few years.  I thought I would share some of the highlights with you.

       Pattaya has a staggering 293 condo projects, according to the report.  Just out of curiosity, I checked Reston, Virginia, the small city where I used to live in the US.  Reston has 67 condo projects.  Quite a difference.  293 projects gives lots of choice, both for buyers and renters. 

       Those 293 projects have over 130,000 condo units.  Even if you only count one person per condo, that's 130,000 Pattaya full or part-time residents, just in condos.  Likely many are not counted, along with many of those living in the thousands of houses, when census figures are drawn up.  Pattaya is a big city, and growing.

       The very first condo project, Garden Cliff, was built way back in 1980 and has 51 units.  Spouse and I actually owned at that project (of course you did, some of you are likely saying) and we always suspected that it was the first, or one of the first.  Thailand's prime minister at the time apparently came to the dedication.  Attending condo dedications these days would be a full-time job.  Nice project, right on the ocean. 

       Pattaya has 8 condo projects built in the 1980's and 33 built in the 1990's.  Contrary to the belief expressed by some that condo buildings go crashing to the ground here when they reach the age of 30, I believe all the ones on the list are still standing.  Certainly Garden Cliff is.

       Sticking with Garden Cliff, it is not only the first but one of the smallest condo projects on the list, with just 51 units.  The largest listed is Jomtien Beach Condo, with 3,700 units.  I counted at least 24 built projects with 1,000 units or more.

       Looking to the present and future, Pattaya has a, once again, staggering number of new projects either started this year or scheduled.  From 2025 to 2029, 17 major new projects were listed in the report.  That's a huge number of projects.  14 of the projects have 500 units or more.  To give you some idea of how big 500 units is, Zire Wongamat, a large 2-building project, has 480 units, according to the report.  So, multiply Zire by 14.   8 of the new projects have 1,000 units, or more.  That's 8 more projects the same size, or bigger, of the massive Riviera Jomtien.   Meanwhile, any massive road projects in the works?  Public transportation upgrades?

  3. I'm also interested in the cost per month for you older 60+ guys and whether you use gels or injection....and sources in Thailand..(Chiang Mai would be helpful).

     

    My goal is primarily better results in the gym as i'm not going near hardcore steroids due to all the sides.

     

    I'm trying fenugreek pills at the moment to raises testosterone which of course is at the weakest end of the results scale...

     

    Just commited to hitting gym long-term now.
