What's your take on rent prices in Hua Hin and Pattaya?

[HappyFive]

In Hua Hin, a good size, new, detached house with parking is going for 5,500 baht/ month. Bargain .. would you live in Hua Hin?

 

My other question is about rent in chon buri (eg. Pattaya), examples please...

 

[Surelynot]

5,500 pm yes......I would live there for sure......AQI is horrendous in the burning months, but then it is almost everywhere.

 

Rents have to getting near rock bottom everywhere.

Seems very cheap. Do you have a link?

 

In the Pattaya rea you can get an okay house with parking etc. for around 10k. A nicer house with a private pool will be 20-40k.

 

Location will play a big part.

I don't mind location as long as quiet, near a supermarket.

Generally there is a reason why somethings are cheaper and somethings not. Rarely you will find something which is wildly under-priced for what it is.

        Hold your horses mate , for at least one year.

          Rents, property values , are going in one direction .

          Down , and down ..

It does exist that units are under-priced, maybe not wildly but 30-40% but you rarely see it because those units are rented quickly..

i live in hua hin and there are lots of bargains to be had on the rental market, due no doubt to the low number of tourists here

[YorkshireTyke]

OP, you really need to say the location. I've seen a few small houses advertised on FB for around 8k and condos 5-6 k in HH but one that cheap is probably in the middle of nowhere. Ok if you don't mind a 10-15 minutes drive every time you want to go to a 7/11 for beer, milk, bread etc

The pain will be felt for many years to come. I anticipate condo prices to drop by half.

 

A friend of mine recently moved to Pattaya. He looked at condos in Jomtien. He walked into one of the nicest towers, the Riviera, and looked at a 36th floor unit with panoramic views, and when he was quoted 28,000 a month, he offered 10,000. They settled on 13,000. He said the agent more or less admitted the building was nearly empty, and they could not rent to sell anything, at this time.

 

On Samui, a friend of mine recently rented a private pool villa with a seaview, for 20,000 a month! Hundreds upon hundreds of villas are sitting empty right now. Entire subdivisions have been abandoned. 

 

I predict this economic crash here will be worse than 1997, and will be felt for many years to come.

I do not know for sure. I think it was a one bedroom unit. So likely around 60 meters.

that's not too bad.

 

I thought most of the units there were the size of a match box like many of the new builds
