JimTripper Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Do you have experience living in Nirun Grande Ville in Pattaya? Is it livable for longer term, say 6 months to 1 year? It's subjective, so if you do, let me know what your budget or lifestyle is like, and what you consider livable or comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I need is a cheap as possible place that's still livable and safe, but not so cheap that an American would be uncomfortable living there. I don't care how the outside looks and don't care who else lives there as long as they don't bug me. I also don't want to be around any sort of illegal drug activity. I have seen rooms online that look decent, but I never hear of anyone living there and it's extremely cheap and a huge central building, so I wonder why.

You can find condos elsewhere for 5k+ that are more upbeat but check Nirun out and see if you like the vibe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I apologies for saying it but i can't phantom myself living in a place that is ' as cheap as possible', but courses for horses as they say... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauptmannUK Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Some years ago I knew a German guy who live there. He seemed to find it quite OK. I visited only once to deliver some food to him and it seemed fine inside as far as I was concerned. Certainly not squalid or dangerous. Sadly he was later found dead in his room. Suicide apparently.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What defines an American's needs... in Texas and Florida they live in trailers! In The Hampton's it is mansions. Some of these places will let you view vacant properties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pal had bought a couple and sold them easily and for a profit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterw42 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) OP, Nirun has always been a cheap place, back before covid it was very cheap compared to other places. But nowadays, there are lots of new build nicer condos that can be 5k a month. So its less attractive for people on a budjet. I know a couple of guys who lived there, reasonably safe/secure, with no real problems. Its low rent, buy doesn't mean everyone that lives there is low rent.

Lots of newer, full of facilities condos in Jomtien, for 6-8k, not far from the beach. Why consider Nirun, a very old building with questionable tenants? PM me if you want the contact for my agent, who has many wonderful places in Jomtien, cheap. Edited October 31, 2022 by CanadaSam Added last line.

Why consider Nirun, a very old building with questionable tenants? PM me if you want the contact for my agent, who has many wonderful places in Jomtien, cheap. Because Nirun it's central. You can walk to Big C and Buakao. Street food restaurants and necessities are all over. I lived in Jomtein before and the one I was at (Jomtein Condotel) I had to hike in and out for food almost daily which was a pain in the <deleted>. Many Jomtein condo's are not near what I need and driving a motorbike out each time or carrying groceries on a motorbike is not for me. I also don't want to ride the baht bus each time I go out. I want to just walk out the door and have what I need. There's another building in that area named Spanish Place I will consider. It's cheap and looks a bit quieter, not as hectic, but maybe not as grungy as Nirun and not as crowded. I think it was one of the original buildings in the area.

CanadaSam Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Ok, well if it's convenient shopping you need, I suggest you to take a walk around Big C Extra, AND also Big C South Pattaya, because in South, very close to Big C, you will find a newer, modern, all facilities condos, for around 7-8k.

Popular Post Banana7 Posted November 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2022 I have known Americans and Canadians who have lived for long periods of time, in Nirun. They liked it, some even bought a condo on Nirun but all have sold now. It's in a great location walkable to restairants bars, Big C, Foodland. Central festival is about a 20-25 minute walk. Beach is a 25 min. walk. Also consider 9 karat condo. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topthai Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Also consider Pattaya pad condo if you don't need swimming pool, big room for around 5000 and much less noisy as others ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. That's more what I was looking for. Completely anonymous places that attract zero attention, but are still relatively, safe, clean, cheap and central. That area just east of Nirun looks like the area I need. Not sure why I prefer it, people like different things. ????♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Yes, all the old poorly kempt Falang walking from Nurin setting up hunched over on the benches for hours inside Big C. I went with a friend who heard about a 800,000 b condo for sale there. I thought it was one of the worst places I have been in Pattaya. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soi3eddie Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 There was a lengthy thread on Nirun last year. A friend of my GF had a room at Nirun. Big room and it was nice inside. It was just getting to the room. The approach, the lift lobby and then the hallway with all the security grills on the doors. Resembled a prison. People around there were ok but I never walked in at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still relevant today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
