Fat fingers. AGM. Annual General Meeting. Where all tenants join in person or online for a meeting of co-owners, and committee presents financial and other results, then discusses topics that were submitted by co-owners. We had several specific targets similarly ignorant, followed by cops taking away a couple in weeks that followed.

 

Admittedly, that tenant smashed mirror in front of lift... 3 times... attacked someone in lobby, tried to rob 7-11 on premises and beat up the neighbout who tried to stop him.

 

That unit has been listed for sale since arrest but seems owner can't get clearance letter from juristic office...

 

what does someone gettng arrested at your condo have anything to do with the condo I rent out ?

It's managed by same agency, and the owner of the condo unit was as ignorant as you are. So if your tenant causes trouble and ends up on AGM agenda, you could have some unpleasant time ahead as anything your tenant does is your responsibility, being the co-owner and all that.

 

I'm sure owner in this place isn't pleased being unable to rent it, live in it, or sell it. Imagine that was you.

Where I'm at, there are definitely more Russians around beginning in November or so and continuing through April, but they all seem very polite and civilized. No noise, no loud parties, no slamming doors.  Just more people around.  The pool is more crowded than usual, but nothing objectionable. The condo has a guard at the beachside access, a guardhouse at the entrance, and CCTV cameras everywhere that are monitored 24/7.  To get in the door of the buildings, there's facial recognition software, and you can't go anywhere in the elevator without an access card, and even then, you can you go to your floor or to the floors with the gym, sauna, and tennis courts. People don't get in here unless they belong, and in order to register for facial recognition, they need to bring a lease to the Juristic office and provide a picture.  

 

In short, it''s fairly quiet around here, notwithstanding the high season.

I live in a house on the edge of a golf course and because of the new resorts that have gone up around here, it's as noisy as the Jomtien condo where I used to live. I think my next big spend will be on double glazing and noise proofing the attic.

jes, I live in the same moo ban for 17 years. Very quiet until 2 years ago.A Chinese investor bought and knocked down the house next door and built a 5 br Air bnb listed on Booking.com.Every week a new gang shows up and the pool parties start when the bars close. F all we can do about it.It's a proxy ownership via the bitch who manages the moo ban.

I had double glazing with plastic laminate also installed.

All it does is dull the noise slightly.70 k down the drain.

I have an air horn I bought from Lazada that I regularly blast off at 7am for their benefit.Revenge is bitter sweet!

Hello 

In our condo more and more russians each season.. most of them renting for a few weeks. Some of them invite other russian friends during the weekends.. Management doesn't do anything.. food and drinks around the pool which is forbidden.. nobody cares..

At night they gather on terraces, drink and sing.. last year was woken up 2 times around 3 o clock morning by ongoing choirs..

Mid November the russian owner came and spent 15 days in the condo under ours.. guitar, songs, loud conversations and laughs each and every evening.. Limited music knowledge..Yesterday (Beatles) sung 2/3 times per evening .. Complained to the management.. Answer was.. they don't speak English..(as if manager would be fluent English speaker).. when I told her Google translate exists, the answer was "I don't want to make enemies"..

Normally 20 to 25 of them hang around the pool full day with kids, screaming, running and jumping continuously into the pool.. they also put in the pool giant mattresses (last year one 2mx2m with 10 kids on it) or giant plastic ducks or crocodiles, not allowing others to swim or exercise.. and this only gets worse as it is easy to notice more and more are coming holidays after holidays..

Becoming slowly Moscow at the beach like the Ambassador.. Owners complain but still rent out.. so nothing will change or for the worse

Have a good day

 

 

 

log, there are some door slammers (ruskies) in my building also, not as bad as your situation.  I see the odd one in the lift.What a sullen miserable bunch of A holes. A good morning greeting gets a weird look at best so I try my best to ignore them.

Thats why I only sign up for 6 month lease terms. Any crap like you describe and I'm gone.I can't even stand their whiny jibberish.

Forgot to say that last year after nights and nights of songs screams etc.. I wrote a message on the condo line site .. a long time co owner wrote an answer saying he personally got up at 3.30 and went and told them to stop that noise.. he wrote in his message, those people were rednecks etc..

Came to know he is a russian himself ..lol.. but very nice and always saying hello and never making any noise..lol..

If management was doing his job, this wouldn't happen..

Just now a feast going on close to the pool with 2 grown ups dressed in Spiderman and one lady with a red cape and a hord of kids yelling like animals...

We are tenants.. we complained to our farang owner who says management doesn't answer him..

News of the day the russian owner under our condo reached yesterday !! Let's see if musical events begin.

We are tenants but our contract doesn't include a clause allowing to break it before the end.. but we now keep all proves and will go giving a reasonable notice

Have a good day

Ive had the same tenants for 12yrs, not sure why they would now cause trouble.

As a frequent swimmer at Jomtien beach, I’ve always found the Russians there to be perfectly well mannered and decent. Not their fault they have one of the planet’s most evil psychopaths as their president. They probably complain about the dodgy looking Westerners who frequent the place.

Can you tell who the Russians are by just looking at them? Russians are white same as UK, Americans etc.

I am thinking of going away during peak peak season...if i then let property manger run it as an airbnb it would be worth a lot of $$ to me.  Maybe go to vietnam or ? for few months and make enough to cover most of my one year rent.  But i doubt i will do it as only encourages more airbnb takeovers and I have seen enough of how airbnb has evolved to promote illegal rentals all in name of big profits.  They do not give a crap if it is legal as long as the money flows.  The hammer is dropping on many airbnb illegal rentals around the world but thailand with little to no enforcement is perfect for them.

 

Worst for me is the pool which fills up with tons of inconsiderate short timers who smoke, talk non stop loudly on phone and have no clue how to be considerate in a swimming pool...i often wonder if it is their first time in a pool but am sure they have been around lot of water as they have the brain of a tadpole.  And then there are the elevators which really make you wonder if it is first time on elevator for many who try to get on before people get off etc.?

 

 

And this is why it's not good to buy a condo right near the swimming pool 

 

It's great in low season but once high seasons hits.....

I was there the other night, very quiet around 7pm.

 

My girlfriend has a condo there, she stays mostly with me but we had to get some of her belongings, clothes and other stuff. 

 

The place is beautiful. 👍

And you will see the Condos balconies on pool level has no "gate" to their balcony which means my friend had his table removed to the pool by tourists 

There are two Arcadia Beach Condos ,one is continental and the other 

 

What about more expensive condos such as Copacabana do they allow Airbnb ?

Which entrance are you using ?

They have 2 security guards in white shirts sitting out the front.

Opposite is a mom & pop shop style shop with drunk farangs sitting out the front 

There certainly no facial scan 

Anyone can walk in there

Oh, that condo is next door.

 

You are talking about Arcadia Beach Continental 

 

People  can walk around freely. 

Not gated or secured. 

 

 

Yes Arcadia complex 

Full of backpackers , Russian families etc 

They want 1.5 million for a small studio , but it's too busy with Airbnb

That is a fair question. I think I can recognise the Russian language when spoken, although of course they could be speaking a closely related language such as Ukrainian or another Slavic language. I’ve spent enough time in Croatia to know they’re definitely not speaking Serbo-Croatian. Maybe I should see if I can find some yellow and blue board shorts to see their reaction. 

Surrounded by russia.

Rooting above.

Kids running and screaming through corridor with dad yelling everyday. 

Russia next door sleep all day, wake up at 8pm yell at eachother all night then sleep and repeat the next day.

Was same in low season except now there's just about 5 times more of them around.

 

It does not help that construction here is single wall, not double wall with a cavity filled with sound insulation as found where most of us Farang come from. Yet the Thais want ever escalating sums for these poorly constructed buildings. It pisses me off that we are not considered worthy of being allowed to own land on which to have a private house and some peace and quiet. Yep, they only want our money, they don't want us.

OK, now I understand why you are confused. 

 

There are 2 condominiums close together with similar names. 

 

1. Arcadia Beach Resort 

2. Arcadia Beach Continental 

 

Arcadia Beach Resort is the perfect project, facial scan to enter from street and to access each building. I went there again yesterday, quiet, peaceful, beautiful. 

 

I rode past the other, Arcadia Beach Continental, the one that you have been describing in your comments. 

 

I saw a few foreigners sitting in the little shop out front getting drunk, there are no entry gates, just free to roam in and out of the complex.

Reason #28365533 to never buy a condo here (I'm a 2-time idiot in that respect). 

 

The condo management can put up all the "Rentals under 30 days are illegal" signs they want, nothing is ever (or very rarely) enforced when push comes to shove, or it is dealt with super late.

 

 

 

 

So true!!!

I think a fool if any person buys or even rents a unit on the ground level facing the pool.

Of course, they will have noise most everyday and evening.

I live at the very end of my building facing the ocean no noise at all the pool is infinity on the top floor.  Not busy as ABNB not allowed.

 

Your unit is more exposed to weather damage. The winds off the ocean during a storm can be intense. Nothing says fun like debris crashing into the  windows.
