As long as I have a balcony ,air conditioning,and a good TV I would be happy . I guess you would get used to seeing the old drunk farangs around as you walk to the supermarket etc . The only thing I wouldn't like is if the neighbours are coughing everynight from smoking or music karaoke playing in the hallways outside your door or drunk farangs shouting etc. Whatever the case it probably would be far far better to live in the Nirun than say the government housing of Birmingham or Sydney's Mount Druitt I like Soi Arunothai, same soi as Nirun, so i checked out Pattaya Pad, another cheap place, no pool which was a positive at the time, one of the things that put me off was an elderly American with dementia or something shouting and making a scene about nothing, you get these types too in last chance saloon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was too downmarket for me, I never bothered checking out the room after I saw the outside. I walked around and there was an overweight burly guy sitting downstairs drinking in a tank top. He just glared at me when I walked by. There’s nowhere to really hangout at these cheap places outside your room so people end up sitting outside, down by the stairs, whatever. Nirun is a step up you have the pool, stores etc so can kind of avoid people you don’t want to interact with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pools are unnecessary really, most people use for a few weeks then never again. I was looking for a condo with no pool, only 2 in Pattaya i could find, one being Pattaya Pad. I live Pratumnak now, so glad i chose that condo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped using it at my last place. Reason was I kept getting bacteria infections in my ear. Itching inside the ear and some pain when pulling in the earlobe. Took me awhile to figure out what was going on. It was from swimming in the pool putting my head under the water. Drops from the pharmacy cleared it up, but I keep my head above water when I use the pool now. You need just the right amount of chemicals and somebody who “knows what they are doing” to keep the water clean. Anyhow, I used the Nirun pool only a couple times. Was always real crowded with lots of kids etc. I don’t like crowded pools and I’m not really in the best shape either, some people look better with their shirts on. In fairness to Nirun I did not get the infections there, it was at another place. Edited August 4, 2023 by JimTripper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Condo block has 3 pools Agree. I love a pool--especially in Thailand with year-round warm weather. I wouldn't buy a condo in a complex without a big pool, or pools. The pools were definitely used in the condo projects I owned at and lived in at Pattaya condos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kinyara Posted August 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2023 I think having a nice pool area to both relax and get a bit of easy exercise in is why it doesn't bother me that Pattaya and Jomtien beaches aren't regarded as up to the standard of other locations in Thailand. It's one of those points I'm willing to accept as a trade-off in weighing up the total package of liveability. An early morning walk along the beach followed by relaxing by the pool is the ideal combination for me. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I wouldn't dream of actually swimming in that water, but I don't have to I have a nice pool, which was my point of best of both worlds for me.

balo Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I remember I looked at a room there once, I needed a 1 month stay, and the location was perfect, close to Big C, but before I even entered the building I had to pass the locals staying there and I got the wrong vibes from this place. I found another place , a bit more expensive but safe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No extrapolation going on just calculate how many people use a condo pool vs number of residents, very low usage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
