That will be your smallest problem to live in Thailand. PS.Bath "busses" go every 3-5 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't count "parks" like Nong Pong which is just a lake with a concrete path around it. My definition of a park includes a few trees and grass.

Is it fair to say they take forever as they are caught in traffic - say from Jomtiem to Pattaya - or is that only at certain times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the day even less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also a fairly new park in Jomtien. There are several 'park' areas around Lake Mabprachan park and bike/jogging trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh you mean the tiny park in Naklua that they just concreted over and in Jomtien you mean Nong Pong? the pond with a concrete ring round it. Yes some nice green areas around Lake Mabprachan if you don't mind a 20 minute drive to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply stated that Pattaya has more than just 1 park, as you have shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyT Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 There's no city parks in Thailand. Thais don't walk.... or hike. Like these; LA; https://www.laparks.org/griffithpark/ NY; https://www.centralparknyc.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GypsyT Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Benjakitti wet land park is the worse disaster.... Ugly concrete, hot sun and no place to sit! https://www.thaipbsworld.com/bangkoks-new-wetlands-give-back-life-to-mother-nature/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want big pool, noise isolated rooms....i dont want paper thin walls any other idea...and I like Jomtien the best the only think that worries me is how many people livein view talay 2a, b ...elevator is full all the time...etc....thousands of people living thre....is the pool crowded all the time? Well, you didn't mention VT1, it's solid construction but the place has no vehicle control. Dead cars, dead motorbikes, parking is becoming difficult. I've seen dead motorbikes under covered parking sitting for over 3 years. But the walls are block! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimTripper Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) If the Op is having doubts about the Vt's, why not try for a Vt Residence? Those looked quite nice with large rooms, in fact I wanted to rent a unit in Vt Residence 1, just down the street from the Vt 2's, but it got sold before I could get in there. Felt much more livable and less units, but bigger and large balconies. It costs more generally, not sure about the Op's budget.

Less units means higher common fees in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
