Just a porcelain dental crown costs 20k these days. 35k is not much.

Not pictures of available units. You would need an agent for that. Hipflat etc all have outdated listings that are rarely currently available.

It doesn’t have to be on recommendation alone. I recommend an agent to go over the listings yourself. Everyone’s different, the chances of liking a place that someone else likes are pretty low in my opinion and a waste of time.

My wanting to leave my place has nothing to do with the agent I used or what I wanted to book. It’s just a personal change of heart after being here awhile. It’s much better in fact then the Talay bunk I had before this. Also, it’s about being in Pattaya at all, not the condo. The condo is pretty nice. It just does not do it for me if I don’t like the city much. If anything the Op needs to make sure they really like Pattaya would be my suggestion. For the Op you don’t know what your getting unless you have pictures in front of you to widdle down your choices. You sound picky (beach, noise, etc etc). A picture says a thousand words. Some expert on here thinks a place is great, then you show up and it’s a trash can. Go figure. Your probably going to find it a big waste of time traveling around to different buildings someone mentioned for freak knows what reason, then not liking the rooms they have. Goes double if your walking. Bring lots of water or use grab or bolt taxi. As far as the deposit goes you would need to pay that anyway. The plus of not using an agent would be that the rental price is not bumped up to pay for the agent commission (usually one month), but you could always just negotiate down. Let us know if you find something you like just based on recommendations alone.

So he is mobile, just walking, so wants something central? No problems there. Pretty much my situation as well. I suggest he visit one of the many real estate agents in town or their websites. Go over a bunch of units at once, and they drive you around to view, rather then piddling around town or on Internet forums. I suggest Gekko Properties. They are across from the Big C Pattaya Klang. Good luck. Wastes too much time finding places one by one (unless you just want anything). You get there don’t like it and waste half the day. Go look at some listings and pictures so you don’t waste time.

We are home. Get it?

Inheritance is one thing, paying for it is another. When these places up the rent they like to lean on relatives for payment. They know most residents are on fixed incomes. Some try sneaky tactics to get you to co-sign during initial admission, or later by signing off on treatment plans. It’s also difficult to move out once your in there especially if there are mobility issues.

It still sucks though. He was not Thai so he probably does not want his pictures there. Get it?

I walked by there tonight and the place was freak empty except for the bar staff. Huge place but they don’t seem to get many customers.

Retirement homes are filled with people who thought that. I think it’s about 100%! ????

???? It’s more like $120k USD a year now for a nice/semi luxury place if you need some care. The places get REAL BAD in the USA if you can’t pay much. It’s like living in a hospital. I visited an extended family relative in a cheap one years ago and it was very depressing and I was only there a couple hours! Suicide level stuff if your just stuck there. Ramble over, but something to consider if your going back to the USA.

Bye everyone. I decided to stop posting on the forum because of all the stupid ads. Have a nice one!

The guy in the vid looks out of shape. I’m not sure about the old man and elderly stuff. I’m 54, so it’s just 6 years difference. I don’t think I’d just get knocked down like a bowling pin. Nobody calls me “pops”, but if they did they’d be my boy. ????

Please stop posting here. I’m tired of reading your posts.

One of the reasons why well trained Muay Thai and other fighters can be more restrained then a typical pissed off bloke is that the fighters have years of training being repeatedly hit. When that happens they lose the emotional reaction and anger to being hit. So it’s more like they are just doing a hobby rather then fighting. If they are in the ring you see emotional reactions from the audience vs just calm techniques from the fighters.

What are they supposed to wear, shorts without pockets? A collared shirt? Closed toe shoes? Pattaya is a place we’re people are letting go and having a good time, not going to work. Anyone see the Thai guy laughing at the end of the video and not want to give him a good slap?

You grabbed a young thai guy by the ankle and pulled him toward you and he could not get it up and you were not hard? That’s hilarious, but off topic.

Pops should have given ‘em a good spanking (as long as they didn’t enjoy getting one ????????????‍♂️). Absence of a father figure is a big problem here.

I wonder if they get commission for referring the guy to a particular hospital ????

It’s not really a club foot, just missing 3cm of one leg. Motorbike accident and botched surgery.

You’re just like my dog. He tends to ramble.

Well yes, minus the bargirl factor.

I’m not so sure. The Thai’s do consider certain fights as a “duel between men”. If people interfere who are not involved, no matter the nationality, the combatants and onlookers may turn on those interfering. It becomes a whole new brawl. Those fighting previously are now on the same side. I’m not real clear on what makes it a man on man duel in the Thais view however, still researching it.

My dog bit me once and I just let it go as a man. He never bit me ever again. The dog knew that I manned up on the situation. He knew that I was alpha.

Everyone would have had a great time if they just setup a self serve beer vending machine in the corner and let the foreigners drink among themselves and the place would get far more customers.
