Tolley Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Guys I have been looking around Pattaya the last couple of days for monthly accommodation and cannot find any with a decent size 1 bedroom that also has UBC satellite. I don't mind paying20-25k but need UBC for sport and also need some space for myself and partner. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loong Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I think all apartments will have Sophon Cable tv, not UBC satellite. If you are staying long term, you could probably agree to have your own dish installed, costs about 14,000 Baht and then 2000 per month for Platininum service that gives you all the channels. Be warned tho, I think UBC will be going over to pay per view for big sporting events soon. They have 1 pay per view channel running now and another ready ( I think ch 71 and 72) If Sophon is OK for you, then I cannot understand your difficulty in that price range. Pick up the Pattaya trader ( Supermarkets specially Friendship on S. Pattaya Road), has a lot of private rentals, more likely to have dish installed. Most places will not want to pay the difference between Sophon and UBC though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnboi Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Check out Fair properties in View Talay 1. When I first arrived I rented an apartment with UBC from them around for around 12000 per month nice to. UBC is optional I think its and extra 1500 but is worth it as Sophon's pretty dire.

Any ideas? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just a suggestion. Find an apartment with sophon only. Not having UBC is a great excuse to tell your partner "I'm just popping out to watch the rugby" or whatever. Not that I would do such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabai dee Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Tolley check this new hotel out the rooms are apparantly top notch http://www.rongraem-pattaya.com/lkmetropole/ good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Seems to be sharply priced, considering the fascilities! Especially the internet access and UBC in the room, hard to find indeed! Only the 7 Baht/unit for the electric seems a bit steep. Is going to add a couple of thousands to the bill if you like your room nicely chilled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 And just found out the Ashes are pay per view on UBC. Unlucky for those who like Cricket (not me luckily ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
