swissmaninthailand Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 In these old Thai buildings u can have a room for 3500. So why you guys pay 10000 baht when you can have all for 3 times less. There is even a swimming pool, 711 and a Tesco. Watch this video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like that is a photo of the rear of the building. It is on Thepprasit Road few hundred metres from Sukhumvit Road. The weekend market sets up out front there every Friday/Saturday. Can't remember the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homelinkpattaya Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The spelling on the video might not correct, Is it Thepprasit Night Market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Yes the condo is located next to the night market. Some time ago I did have a look at some of the rooms with western standard , and the prices were a bit more, around 5-6000 baht . So it depends what your looking for , just a room and a bed with air-con I guess is possible for 3500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I know a Thai lady who lives in that building with her son. She bought a small unit a couple of years ago and she showed it to me whilst the purchase was going through. Seemed OK for the price though I would not like to navigate through the traffic with a car on market evenings. OK in daytime and on non-market evenings though, and highly convenient on foot for Tesco or the market itself. And BigC is only a short walk. Also handy for buses etc on Sukumvit.

KittenKong Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I see that Supalai Mare on Theprasit now has a sign up promoting rentals from 7000B per month. I dont know the details but that's a brand new building and only walking distance to Thappraya Road. Music noise might be a problem at night.

Orac Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Aren't these the ones built for poor Thai people by the National Housebuilding Authority that were being sold off under a dubious deal by a certain dodgy Pattaya 'entrepreneur' cum 'media magnate' cum 'lawyer' who has now fled Thailand due to an arrest warrant being issued. Seem to remember there was a lot of noize about this a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joepattaya1961 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Officially it's called KEHA Condo and it's a former social housing project which was built approx. 30 years ago. Most of the units have been sold now and are being occupied by foreigners or Bangkokian weekend-dwellers. Yes, a 24-26m2 studio will go for 3,500 baht, but there are a lot more opportunities in Pattaya for that amount.

It was always funny yet sad reading about people getting legal advice from this individual... As for the low end housing available, yes, for sure, in the 3000-4000 Baht a month price range there are many apartments and even condos available. You won't always have water or electricity but I suppose you get used to that and can prepare with a pale of water and a rechargable battery type of fan. Some live in these conditions year round. Others prefer to pay 8000-10,000. Baht and have dependable water, electric, and even WIFI! Cheers and God Bless You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Mega Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Does that cheap room allow my 4 dogs and also have parking for my car, my pickup, my work car and my 2 scooters and CRF250 ? There's a reason why cheap rooms are no good for some people !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon43 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 When I was working in Jomtien for 1 year, about 8 years ago, I stayed in those types of rented rooms. I recall that I paid no more than 4,000 baht per month for a room with basic furnishings, TV with foreign channels, air-con, free wi-fi etc. The price is low because the room is basic, and it is only 1 small room. I think you'd go a bit stir crazy living in that small space for a long time, (although many Thais seem to manage OK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
