Tigerbythetail Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yea I was just there a week. And did look around areas but takes time to find apartments. I've had best luck finding apartments online. Any websites I should check out for rental hunting in pattaya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JESSVANPELT Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I pay less then 10k for a nice studio with a pool and its 10 minutes from walking street, and there are 5 americans in the complex of 45 apartments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seizetheday Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I would suggest you consider Jomtien and get a Baht bus to Pattaya. VT 2 or 5 are quite good value for money and you would probably pick up a studio for around 10k to 12k a month. Anything you see online, you will more than likely get cheaper if you just front up to the condo itself and ask to see what is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonseeker Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Check Meow at diana-oasis.com On that site you can find link to some cheaper private rentals she has, too. She might be full, at they ared often booked very early. But perfect location near LK Metro and Bath-Bus in both directions in front of their gates. Another good area is the North Pattaya Soi 1-4 area, but a bit far to get all the way to W.Str. or Central. Good luck. MS> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightRider70 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 For that kind of money you can stay at http://www.citygardenpattaya.com/ google map Walking distance to WS and LK Metro. Quiet at night. Very close to Villa Market, American style super market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiu-Jitsu Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Why would anyone considering staying near WS ? You will only find short time rooms there.... At least try closer to 2nd or 3rd road. Nonsense. Take your blinkers off. I sometimes stay in a 150 square metre apartment next to Walking Street. Private entrance and elevator for just two apartments. Even though most certainly outside the OPs budget, it is nonsense to suggest there are only short time rooms. There are even fully equipped apartments on Walking Street. Picture of the balcony and view: Edited February 25, 2016 by Jiu-Jitsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link in your inbox It's not cheap.... You might get the 80 sq. m plus Studio apartment(actually has four rooms and a seafront balcony) for 45k per month inclusive.. They'll take short term bookings, but the price will reflect it. Kitchen from 'Studio' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerbythetail Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Thanks for all the great info. This gives me a nice jump on my search. I would be happy anywhere in vicinity of "pattaya city area 3" in this map. Of course closer I can get to walking street around 70 m^2 the better. My uncle has place near the "al" in centr"al" pattaya Rd. on that map for like 6000. Tho he's lived there 10+ years and not sure how big it is. Thanks all!

You can try to do a deal at Yensabai Condo. They have 78 sq. m. at 25k short term. Monaco Residence 80 sq. m. 30 k short term. So they might deal for long term. They are a bit far from the water for me, but might be ok for you. Oh...not above second floor might be a problem for that size of apartment in that location. Perhaps 55 sq. m is possible for around 17k. But then no elevator. Swings and roundabouts. Ok, now you've added the map, that's spread the search much further. I haven't looked that far back, so perhaps others will have ideas. Edited February 25, 2016 by Jiu-Jitsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerbythetail Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Hey. i have a scooter so I am flexible with location (within map area preferably) and considering my budget I'm open minded with size too. If I can save money in rent that's more money I can spend on fun. Just exploring options since I've only spent a week in pattaya and 3 months in cm and that's the extent of my time in Thailand. thanks again. Sea view or street view is cool by me. Just so long as it's not a brick wall view. ? And I prefer No high rise buildings. I want 1st or second floor. 3rd floor max.

I specifically don't want to be in Pattaya surrounded by hookers all the time.

Tigerbythetail Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) is ridiculous people keeping deposits. I lost my deposit twice in Philippines. I still want to hurt those jerkoffs. I Wont rent from Chinese or a half Mexican Muslim again. I prolly won't live in Philippines again either. The rentals are pretty bad quality for the money. you can sometimes tell if they will give deposit back or not and act accordingly before moving out. hard to find place that rents without deposit. Might be hard to find as nice a place in patty as I have in cm for equal price. I pay 22k for a nice 80 ft^2 place in serene area with swimming pool. With private Huge 25 ft^2 patio first floor with scenic tranquil view. 4+ star. two story building, cctv. 30 unit complex. I only have one neighbor above cool English lady. All other units are in seperate buildings. So good privacy. But the cm night life drags and isn't as sexy a city (my opinion) as patty. So I'm willing to sacrifice luxuries for fun. Lol.

All other units are in seperate buildings. So good privacy. Your message deserved a reply as it comes across as a Philippines bashing comment, suggesting that you cannot get bonds back there. I was lucky to always get my deposits back in the Philippines. It all depends on luck and who you rent from - same as over here. I don't think the risk is any different in either country. The bottom line, and a point worth considering when you pay it, is that if a landlord gives you the finger when you ask for your bond back there's nothing you can do. You can't sue for it because you'll spend a lot more on legal fees and court and you probably won't have time for a legal process anyway. The landlord can just lie and say you owe him for this and for that etc etc so even if you do sue, you'll probably lose anyway and pay the landlord's legal fees as well. Kiss your bond goodbye. My current feelings on the subject, as I'm facing the dilemma right now regarding having to pay a security deposit and trying to get one back..... Assume, before it is paid, that it is money down the drain and you're lost it... therefore, don't pay 2 months as is required by all real estate agents. Look for a rental directly from a landlord who only asks for one month, limiting your loss in the event it is withheld when you leave. Hedge your bet (it is a gamble) by assessing the landlord as closely as possible. I have been lucky so far in Thailand, but it has been luck.
