Thailand to Implement 300-Baht Tourism Tax Starting with Air Travel

[bbi1]

View Talay 8, right next to Central - how is this condo for renting between 6 to 9 months? Are there any downsides to living there?

 

How much should I expect to pay per month for a 6 to 9 month contract?

 

Roughly what sizes are these studios, are they around 48 sqm?

 

Are the lifts to the floors with keycard access only, so nobody can go to your floor if they don't live there?

 

What type of facilities does this building have? Big pool, good gym, etc?

Isn´t that View Talay 6?   I do not believe they have 8.

Check it online plenty of information.

Sorry, yes. View Talay 6 right next to Central.

     As mentioned, the project is View Talay 6.  View Talay 8 is in Jomtien.  Advantage to VT6 is the location.  Pool is smallish considering the number of condos in the project.  I'm not sure if there is a gym as part of the condo project; there may be one in the building.  There is covered parking.

     Studio units are mostly 48sqm.  That 48 sqm includes the square meters of the large balconies.  Units on the south side currently have an open view.  Those on the north look at Central Festival Mall.  Higher units facing north on the back end of the building get some noise from the large air con units of the mall.  But, these north units at the back also can see the sea and coast line if they are high enough.

      The website Hipflat can give you some idea regarding rents or you could try Facebook Marketplace and some big realtors such as Coastal, Alan Bolton, Gecko, and Fazwaz.   Good luck.

A friend rented in VT-6 in 2022, 48 S/m studio, middle floor, sliver of an ocean view. B22,000/m, 1 year contract.  He really like the convenience of the location including a lot of shops on the ground level.   Not a fitness/pool guy.  Last year they raised rent to 30,000+.  Nice but not that nice!  He moved.

 

IRRC, they also mark the electricity up but I could be wrong.

How is central Pattaya polluted? I live here and don't see or feel any pollution?

It's in the heart of Central Pattaya.  It's not Wongamat, it's not Pratumnak.  Crowds, traffic, higher prices, noise at all hours are what goes with that location. People pay near double the going rates of quieter locations to be there so they must like it.  What is "polluted" about it?

OP - always rent for a week or less to check out before 12mo.
