Moo9 exactly my idea.rent a motorbike,look for buildings that look like condos and check the lobby.still it doesnt hurt to have a few contacts upfront.a few people already contacted me.i am looking forward to this info trip. even if i find out that i dont want to relocate at least later on i will know what barthers me not knowing now.thanx for your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusyBee123 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 rent and invest your cash, far better returns and you can take you returns anytime you like unlike trying to sell a condo that will never sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgodber Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 RENT FIRST! Thailand is a wonderful and diverse country there is far more to it than just Patteya…… You would be well advised to first rent and have a look around. As mentioned before, once you buy you could find it VERY hard to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siamamerican Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Strange post. Assume you vacationed in Pattaya and fell in love with the pristine beaches and other attractions. Now in your euphoric state, you want to jump on a plane in live happily ever after in Pataya. Slow down – no reason to rush into things. I wasn't aware that condos were so cheap in Pattaya. Regardless, you could rent a studio for the next 10 years and it would cost less than 1.2 mil bt. You wouldn't own it, but the chances of becoming a sucker would be minimized.

sucher Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 hi again.arrived yesterday and must say for the little i have seen so far its way better than i thought.by the way,i come from phuket where i live for the last 3 years.i was shopping for a freehold studio condo there [ in patong ] and there was nothing under 2,4 mill baht.rented a motorbike yesterday and drove around all day so i know a little bit more now.today i looked at 8 studios and tomorrow 6 to 8 more.prices between half and one and a half mil.baht.i can not see a big risk to invest in that range.i have been way more foolish on the stock market.if i decide to move here i would like my own flat.but the judgement is still out.i keep you updated.thanks for your opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madame Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Do not forget to check the enviroment around your condo. Is there any place where somebody can build a shophouse/condo/hotel/plaza/Tesco/entertaiment centre? If there is a tiny green mark around, you can be sure that the next ten years it will be built. Also be aware: at daytime there is condo reparation. At night time you can expect all kind of noise,such as the neighbour calls EU at midnight or a deaf who watches the TV without earphones. Not to mention neighbours who cook on the balcony or smoking cigars there.The worst is a drunken neighbour with a company of a bargirl. Good luck!

sotsira Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 If you buy a condo in your name and it's in a good location, not noisy and has easy access to a main road with baht taxi routes you won't have a problem selling in the future. Remember location location location! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the house. I am the owner (Swiss), we can talk about the price. Edited August 6, 2008 by Dario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LtCol Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 What advice for an Aussie Couple retiring to Pattaya . We are all for buying a decent sized house , probably in East Pattaya , should we rent first.?? We have been visiting Pattaya for over 20 years & are fairly aware of most things there.

Yes, renting first is a very good idea. East Pattaya is a "New Territory" and if you want to buy house there I would recommend to rent first to see if you like the area. Then to live there all the time is not the same as being there for - lets say - 3-4 weeks or two month per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
