samtab Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hello, Do you know some condo projects at pattaya darkside ? Price seem similar to pattaya or joomtien cheapest condo ? Better buy good value and reliable viewtalay 1 or view talay 2, or better buy new condo for the same price ? We don't know the future value and maintenance of these new cheap condo, so is it risky ? What do you think? Thank you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinity11 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The market may be flooded. One trick is to buy a unit that will hold its value or even better, appreciate in value. Sorry if i am not much help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about the slick, be wary of the lack of water, electricity, sewage, and most importantly choking traffic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brabo2180 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Would you be happy living on the Darkside? Perhaps try to rent there first. Are you going to live in the condo yourself or do you expect to rent it out in your absence? If you want to rent it out, you will need a condo close to the taxi routes. I personnaly would prefer a condo in an established building like VT1 or VT2 rather than buying off plan. And the 23 m² matchboxes don't appeal to me at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure do, I live there and have seen the result of the overbuilding that is now going on.....just wait for the highway traffic to come to a snails pace when the new water park opens on Suk. Anyway, my post was in answer to the poster that mentioned the Hua yai area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plopmeister Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Yes of course you are correct. I am looking at purchasing in Huayai but only said bang saray as an indicator of the rough area...I want to be within a short distance to the beach but still in a small Thai environment...

bangkokstick Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Places outside Pattaya or Jomtien cost as much as place perfectly located, so why bother ? If you can rent outside Pattaya or Jomtien it means that you will still be able to rent at these main locations ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEDBANDIT Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I've always thought the brand new 2 up 2 down houses are the way to go on the Darkside , there new , cheap (less than a mil ) , big enough for family and seem to go up a little in value . I would not spend a lot of cash on property on the Darkside ...great place but I wouldn't want to live there permanent Sent from my Nexus 7 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 East of Sukhumvit, extends from Nongplalai in the north, through east Pattaya and Jomtien to Huayyai and Bang Saray. It's not dark any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattayadingo Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Khao Talo has a few places recently built and new ones going up. 'The Mountain' condo (Almost opposite Khao Talo 5) s one example. Now there are signs hanging from windows showing many are for rent. There is an office to go visit to ask how much to buy. There are houses (bungalows) a-plenty for sale in the estates off Khao Talo generally in the 1.2 million range. Or rent from 6-9,000 Baht p.m. Personally I have found living here off Khao Talo is more expensive than on the other side of Sukhumvit road. Market prices are higher than their counterparts. The traffic is terrible mornings and afternoons (from 4 p.m. onwards). Flood water rushes down Khao Talo when it rains. It is like driving through rapids. I am not saying ALL the dark side is more expensive, but am talking here off Khao Talo. I'd go and have a good look around and maybe stay there for a while before making any kind of committment.

I noticed that when I was looking at houses further up the hill. The Mountain looks like a nice new-build but all those huge, hand-written 'For sale' and 'For Rent' signs hanging from every second balcony looks shocking. I am surprised the condo sales office allows that; makes it look like a 'I wanna leave here quick' ghetto already. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotsira Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Samtab, If you're gonna buy a condo, then buy one that is already built and established, as near to the beach and amenities as possible. That way, you increase the chance of selling easily with a profit in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheapcharly Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Avoid darkside at all cost. I tell you why. Streets are too small, many accident from rain and Collins. Too far from beach. Then you need to cross sukumvit... Stay between sukumvit and the sea. In jomtien they build a lot. It's really more comfortable than the east side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattayadingo Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Where is the mountain ? Head up Soi Khao Talo, over the railway crossing until you reach Soi 5 (on your left). Less than 100 metres further up on the right you will see a couple of condo buildings. (cannot miss them with one having signs for sale / rent hanging off balconies). That is where you want to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way nice build ? they are build with those concrete prefab panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailandbeachisland Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Happy new year :-) Do you know how much can cost a small land on the dark side to grow some vegetables and put a small wooden bungalow to relax on week end ? Maybe I could just rent somewhere but if it's cheap I prefer to buy anyway to avoid that any owner asks me to leave anytime with my tomatoes and carrots :-) Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
