  1. Aeras is newer, finished in 2017.
  2. Built in 2014.
  3. It's already a mess on Pattaya Beach Road too much of the time. You're often down to 1 lane as you have delivery trucks stopped in the left lane of the traffic lanes and cars stopped in the right lane waiting for a parking place. Parking needs to be eliminated on the beach side like it was before covid.
  4. Yes, also bad, as is Thepprasit and others.
  5. Next time take your walk on Pattaya Second Road by the Smart Kids School.
  6. Stand by generators for most condo projects usually only power a few things like the elevators and emergency lighting.
  7. Pattaya Beach Road had sand deposits all along it yesterday and a large construction fence had blown over--must have been high winds coming from the west. We lost electric for awhile.
  8. Me, too. I think there are more than a few retirees who have come to your same conclusion. Some tweaking is needed to make it more desirable.
  9. Just a couple of suggestions. Make sure it is listed with as many agencies as possible. Since it has been on the market for awhile, check the agency websites to make sure it is still listed and hasn't been dropped. Sometimes I have to send a listing several times before an agency gets it listed. If you haven't already done so I would list it yourself on Facebook, Craigslist, Hipflat, Bahtsold, etc. Mention in your listings that agents are welcome. I would also send an email reminder to agencies letting them know it is still for sale and include some new photos so they will have it fresh in their minds. Also remind them of the new, reduced asking price so they can adjust their listings with the new price if they have not already done so. When you get a viewing, it's a good idea to check with the agent afterwards to get their feedback on what the client liked and, perhaps, didn't like. If the clients you have had are liking your property but not buying it, try to discover what is the reason--you might be able to work on that. Good luck with your sale.
  10. Air con on all night set at 27. I don't like a fan blowing on me when I am sleeping.
  11. Liked your post. My partner and I have moved about 16 times since we arrived in Thailand 11 years ago--starting with two moves when we lived in Rayong. We've managed to move twice in Bangkok and we don't even live there full-time. Since our arrival, we've been buying a condo, fixing it up, selling it, and moving on to the next one--which explains all our moves. Most of our moves have been in Pattaya--at least a dozen--and we've been about all over the area--from south Jomtien to Wong Amat and about every point in between the two. Now, we are exploring the last frontier for us here--the Darkside. Recently we did our first house, on the Darkside, sold it, and have just started a renovation on a second one. Hopefully, this might be our last move--but we've said that before. Color us restless. Moving can be stressful, no doubt about it. We attempt to make things easier by trying to always avoid having to do a quick move. We don't like the pressure of having to get everything moved in just a day or two so we usually arrange to have several weeks or more. We sell our properties mostly furnished so we are primarily moving some treasured antiques, artwork, decorative items, housewares, linens, and personal items. It's still a lot--but no large items like king beds, sofas, dining sets, etc. Every item we always take with us on our moves can fit into our large SUV--although a move takes numerous trips back and forth. We don't have to rent a moving truck and we do the moves ourselves, taking our time. One of the best things about moving so often is it has kept us from accumulating a lot of useless stuff that we don't really need or use--although some items I consider useless have inexplicably made the cut move after move. When my parents retired from living around the World they bought a retirement house, never moved in over 38 years of retirement, and accumulated a ton of stuff--they never threw away anything on the dubious theory that they 'might need it sometime'. If nothing else, my partner and I are not pack rats. Good luck with your move (s).
  12. All this time and they aren't even 30% finished??? Pathetic. Meanwhile, how about all the other super-slow road work? Week after week, month after month, the giant holes still look like giant holes with no visible progress.
  13. Quality properties priced correctly in excellent locations are still selling.
