flakes Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi , Would like to rent on Condo/appartment sowhere in Pattaya. My only condition is that i look for some family condo /facilities where atleast is living a couple of other families long term with their children that can easely talk in english. My son is nine years old and he prefers talk english over thai. They may be Russians/Korean/Thai aslong as they go to school in Pattaya either international or bilangual. Does anyone know such a building where couple of these children are living 7-12 year of age. I can not consider renting a condo where there is no friends for my child to hang out with after school that why i am asking. Look forward to some positive feedback..

besth Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 get a bit away from the beach, but no need to go too far. choose based on longer term convenience for your family, not just the immediate kids friends. many options available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabC Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I think you would be better looking at a house on a nice village with communal pool/play area. Condos here do not tend to be very big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we been living in a village for 3 years now...and here also most thai children dont go to an bilangual or an international school so they only talk thai language.

Well we been living in a village for 3 years now...and here also most thai children dont go to an bilangual or an international school so they only talk thai language. OK,in the village I live on the majority of kids go to international or bi lingual schools and have at least one foreign parent, but the language I hear in the street when the kids are playing is Thai. This seems to be the way as its the mothers and hence aunts/uncles etc are all Thai so that's their preferred language. My friends kids play near by and all in Thai, when they see me they swap to English for a quick chat then revert to Thai with their friends.

tontraveller Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Our Chateaudale/Thabali condo, Thappraya rd behind Bruno's , has a few families with children who are being picked up everyday with Vans from international schools.. Send me PM if you want to have a look around, I know some co-owners who rent out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackPuddingBertha Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Does anyone know about Royal hill condotel on thapraya road ..? Hard to imagine anyone wanting to live there who isnt stone deaf. Between the deafening 24/7 traffic noise from the road and the building noise from Grande Caribbean on one side (when they start) and Treetops on the other (when they start) it is one of the last places I would want to be over the next couple of years. Chateau Dale wont be much better soon thanks to Grande C, which is a shame as until now it was quite a nice place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 This is Thailand and no matter where you live most kids will speak Thai and English so that's good for your son anyways. I agree that a house in a gated village is always good with a communal swimming pool and restaurant, Playgrounds etc. Just look in the classifieds here or go to: http://www.bahtsold.com and search "Pattaya and area" and then house, apt's or condos. Kids do fine at that age no matter where they live mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPuddingBertha Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The Grande Caribbean will be low rise near Chateaudale.. (8 floors) The high rise 30 floors will be build on the roadside for seaview That's true, but the construction of a low-rise building makes plenty of noise if you overlook it as will the screams of the ghastly kids in the pool when it's built. And that 30-floor tower will be very evident from Chateau Dale as it's only a couple of hundred yards away. I looked at Chateau Dale a couple of years ago and nearly bought there but was put off by the huge empty plot. I am satisfied with my decision.

Well i hope grande carabean and atlantis will be ready soon as it seems like a nice place for children to live... I now looking into pratunak soi 4 New nordic i heared some russian living there with their children attending bilangual school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been advertising it a lot around town for well over a year but they haven't even dug a hole yet. They are offering a new Cruze car for someone who buys a condo in the Cruze block but i think the car will have rusted away before the condo is finished.

Potosi Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Baan Suan Lalana at the end of Jomtien. They have a couple of pools and a children playground, and on occasion, I heared kids speaking English. Usually families coming for a holdiday, not all year round. Their standard 42sqm rooms are somewhat small for 3 people, the corner condos are about 60 sqm, and two or three standard rooms combined are available as well.

BlackPuddingBertha Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I doubt if the Grande Caribbean will ever get built. It's certainly debatable but I think that it is one of those that will be built (at least in part). The location is too good for it not to be.
