Mike Teavee Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) Did you mean City Garden in Soi 15 (City Center) or the City Garden Tropicana off of Naklua Soi 16/1? I live in Wongamat & looked at the Sanctuary/Club Royal but found them to be too remote from everything unless you had your own transport & even then it would be a pain to have to drive/ride to do something as simple as go to a 7-11/Family Mart). If you are looking for a unit in the Wongamat area contact Som at Ocean Properties, lovely lady who will find you what you need.

Personally neither would be for me (I don't like to live in City Center but Sanctuary is too remote) but I have heard good things about City Garden & the units/prices at Sanctuary (and even more so Club Royal next door) look very attractive.

Mike Teavee Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) In a nutshell City Garden is right in Pattaya City Center https://goo.gl/maps/BFiJnWFSWw1E5VpP6 So you'll have everything on your doorstep but it's busy, can be noisy, there's a temptation to go out every night & (to me) gets really tiresome after a while. Sanctuary https://goo.gl/maps/9iyX51FwSisZeJNU7 is quite away outside of City Center with nothing around you, as I mentioned when I looked at the Club Royal nearby I couldn't even find a 7/11 or a Family Mart in walking distance, there may be Mom & Pop type stores & local restaurants but from what I could tell a local hotel was your only option for food/drinks & that gets expensive very quickly... But presumably it's a lot more laid back/relaxed there. So it really is hard to compare the 2 as they both appeal to very different tastes/lifestyles, are you the kind of guy that likes to be in the middle of things & eat/go out a lot or do you prefer a more peaceful lifestyle with the occasional trip into town? I wouldn't personally go for either as I don't like living in the City Center but have to have some options nearby that I can easily walk to so I live in Wongamat (which is about 80b from Central Festival in a Bolt Taxi when I feel the need to go into town) but have enough around me to fill my day-2-day needs.... Family Mart outside the Condo, Tops Daily, 2x7-11s, a Mini-Lotus, 2 upmarket coffee shops & 5-6 places to eat within a 5 minutes walk.

Peterw42 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) I presume you are talking about a long term rental/stay, in which case you may want to look at the short term rental situation in both blocks. Some of these blocks (city garden) are Airbnb ghettos, nothing but short term rentals, ie: people party for 2 weeks, monopolize the gym/pool etc Edited October 15, 2022 by Peterw42 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 2 people who live there. One owns and one is a very long time rental. Different blocks. neither have mentioned the issues you raised.

I haven't watched the video yet, but Everything Pattaya has just released a video where he's looking at a condo in City Garden so might be of interest to you in your search...
