Rent a condominium in Pattaya for a month. Cheapest long term condos in Pattaya

Having moved to Pattaya, we began an active search for housing. Since we arrived at the end of the season, we assumed that all the decent apartments would already be available and one day would be enough to search. We also counted on reasonable prices.

We checked into a hotel for a day, took a shower, changed clothes and went to look for condominiums where we could rent an apartment. Cloudy weather encouraged walking around the city.

Requirements for the desired apartment

• Inexpensive rent within 20 thousand baht
• Minimum deposit amount
• Utility bills at real prices - 4-6 baht per unit of electricity
• Internet availability
• Clean and modern apartment with furniture, so you don’t have to buy anything else
• Availability of a kitchen with a stove
• Swimming pool (necessary because the sea is dirty)
• Location on Jomtien and not in the middle of nowhere

Based on these requirements, we began to walk around Pattaya and look for different housing options in Jomtien. We didn’t contact numerous Russian-language agencies because we didn’t want to overpay. We always rent housing directly from the owners without intermediaries. It is not only cheaper, but also more reliable.

Modern residential complex with swimming pool

Renting an apartment in Pattaya is easier than anywhere else, because every first building in Jomtien is either a condominium or a hotel or a guest house. If you are looking locally, then all you need to do is go to all the condos you like and ask the prices for apartment rentals at the reception.

In order to rent an apartment in Pattaya on your own, you do not need any special knowledge of English. It’s enough to remember the school curriculum and don’t hesitate to ask again if you don’t understand something. Thais, as a rule, know English even worse than you, so you often have to explain yourself almost on your fingers.

What are the main things to ask when renting an apartment in Pattaya

• Price per month. You can always haggle to knock down a couple thousand
• Do I need a deposit and how much? We leave immediately if the amount quoted is more than the cost of 1 month of rent. It would also be a good idea to clarify how it is returned. The only acceptable refund option is cash upon check-out. We do not agree if the refund is made to a card or bank account (this is rare now).
• Find out if you need to pay utility bills. In 90% of cases, when renting from a month, you have to pay for the utilities yourself, then we will find out how much 1 unit of electricity costs. Normally - 4 baht. Tolerable 7-8 baht. Robbery - 10 baht or more.
• Ask about the Internet. It happens that it simply doesn’t exist and you still need to pay extra 300-600 baht per month or do it yourself when renting for a long period
• Find out whether it is possible to conclude an agreement (contract) for a month. We were often offered a contract for 3 months at once. If we want to leave earlier, the deposit is not refundable... However, when concluding a contract for 6 months or more, the rental price will be lower.

If you travel to Thailand on your own, be sure to buy one, medicine here is quite expensive.

What websites are best to look for an apartment on?

We searched based on our requirements (see the beginning of the article) and financial capabilities.

Our housing in 2018

Riviera Wongamat

We lived in Wongamata for the first time. I liked everything, but it’s a long walk to get to the tuk tuks. We rented a one-room apartment overlooking the sea in a luxury complex. Check out the view from the balcony:

AERAS condo

In October we lived in Aeras. This is a new condo in Jomtien with an excellent location. It is located right on the first line, separated from the beach by a street with tuk tuks. We had a small studio overlooking the sea.

Our video review of the Grande Caribbean Resort condominium:

Our housing in 2017

Seven Seas

We also filmed a short video in this condo:

Looking for housing in 2016

In 2016, we came to PTT for the third time and started looking for housing. We visited all the new condominiums. Whenever possible, we will publish reviews of the condos we visited to look at.

Amazon

— a cool new air conditioner with a mini-jungle in the yard and a huge swimming pool. One of the best residential complexes in Jomtien. But there is one drawback - not the best location, almost one and a half kilometers to the sea.

Acqua condo

— condominium in Jomtien near the evening market and a 3-minute walk from the sea. Apartments are slightly more expensive than other options. Apparently due to its good location.

Atlantis

is one of the most popular condominiums in Jomtien. Huge swimming pools throughout the area and a real pirate ship. The best place to relax with children.

Paradise park

— the residential complex is located on Jomtien behind 2nd street. There is an inexpensive market and several 7-eleven minimarkets nearby. It's a 20-minute walk to the sea, part of the way along a road without sidewalks.

Park Lane

- a good housing option in Jomtien with a not very good location, since it is also located behind the second street. There is a market nearby. To the sea and the street with tuk tuks, a 20-minute walk along the road without a sidewalk.

— An excellent option with the best location, located on the first line, Jomtien beach is across the road. There are tuk-tuks on the street for 10 baht. On the ground floor there is a washing machine and water pump. We looked at apartments 1 bedroom for 12 thousand baht. State accounts prices but the apartment turned out to be too small. Scared off the deposit for 3 months.

Laguna beach

— the project turned out not exactly as it was advertised, but the most ordinary one. But in general it is possible to live. Located behind the second street of Jomtien. The beach is a 15 minute walk.

Laguna Bay

— condominium on Pratamnak. 5 minutes walk to the sea. Studios are rented from 11 thousand baht per month in low season, 1 bedroom from 13 thousand baht.

Art on the Hill

- residential building on Pratamnak. Walk to the sea for about 10 minutes. We looked at a studio for 13 thousand baht per month. There is a swimming pool and a gym on the roof. It does not have its own territory.

Water park

- a residential complex on a quiet street in Pratumnak. It's a 15-minute walk to the beach, 7-10 minutes to the tuk-tuk street. There are 2 swimming pools and a gym. In the low season, studios are rented at the reception from 11 thousand baht per month. We rented a one-room apartment here for 5 months for 12 thousand baht after bargaining, this amount was given to us for a long time. When renting from a month in the low season, one-room apartments from 16 thousand baht.

A little later we will add a few more reviews of the new air conditioners in Jomtien that we looked at.

Search for housing in PTT on the spot

How we looked for housing on our first visit in 2014. We walked around a dozen residential complexes, finding out all the rental conditions at the reception. Here are the options we looked at personally:

Our first home in Pattaya. We lived in this condo for almost 4 months. We can confidently recommend it to you for a stay, either for a month or for a long time. Rental cost is about 15 thousand baht per month.

is one of the most famous and inexpensive condos in Jomtien. We were shown 3 different rooms at prices ranging from 15 to 13 thousand baht. After bargaining, they brought it down to 12 thousand, but the owner demanded a contract for 3 months. Also, their Internet is paid separately. Photos of rooms, contacts and all details can be viewed by clicking on the name of the condominium.

View Talay Condominium

A decent spacious apartment with a kitchen and a bedroom, but the European owner gave a clearly inflated price - 18 thousand baht, all bills included.

Katalina Resident

– a good option for housing with a kitchen for 13,000 baht per month, deposit 6,000 baht. There is Internet, bills are separate. The balcony offers stunning views if you rent an apartment on the upper floors.

Jomtienthip condotel

- more of a guest house than a condo. Everything is quite clean and nice. The price is reasonable - 9,500 baht per month, there is internet, a small pool.

BB House Beach Resident

- a small cozy condo 5 minutes from the sea and Jomtien beach. Everything inside is clean and new. They gave us 9,000 baht a month without any negotiation. There is Internet.

Lighthouse-Resident

Decent condominium of 4 buildings. They offered a room for 15 thousand baht. The deposit is the same. But the price for electricity is very indecent - 10 baht per unit.

Neo Condo Pattaya

Another one of the most popular condominiums in Pattaya. In one of the buildings we looked at an apartment for 10 thousand baht per month. It was annoying that the owner demanded a contract for 3 months. I also remembered the negative reviews about this popular condo.

Jomtien Beach Condominium

- an option for unpretentious travelers, since all the apartments that were shown to us were a little shabby and not very clean. We were offered 3 different rooms for 11 thousand baht, 10 and 9. Bills separately (6 baht/unit), internet for an additional fee (750 baht per month)

Jomtien Paradise Condominium

Jomtien Plaza Condotel and similar condos are an option for low-budget tourists, since renting an apartment for a month starts from 30 thousand baht. We didn’t go up to the rooms; we didn’t want to waste time. There were often options for that kind of money, but the price didn’t suit us, so we didn’t even look at them.

Bottom line

As a result of an intense search, we managed to find a decent and still completely new condominium that met all our requirements, in which we now live. We agreed to pay rent for an apartment up to 10 thousand baht per month, and settled in a small studio apartment. We managed to bring the deposit down to 5 thousand. The Internet is free, electricity is 5 baht/unit, water is 30 baht. There is a swimming pool and a rooftop gym. The apartment has everything you need for life, a kitchen with a stove, microwave, toaster, kettle and dishes.

Let's end this article with a joke. This is the ad we saw in one of the air conditioners. Brilliant translation into Russian. Thank you, now everything is clearer!

If you are looking for a rental property with increased privacy, then renting a house in Pattaya is definitely a good option. After all, you will agree that it is not always convenient to huddle in one apartment, no matter how large it is - in any case, you are limited by the walls of the apartment.
By renting a house, you can soak up the sun or cool off in the pool. Although in this case there may be different options. Perhaps there are several main factors that incline one to choose renting a house:

• you don’t want to live in a condominium (some even call residential buildings of this type “anthills” and “dorms,” which is somewhat unreasonable, but still)
• you want to live as a family and you may have a pet, you are, in principle, more attracted to the option of living in a house
• you are not interested, but you are looking for a home to live in

Then the choice is obvious - we rent a house, but which one?
There are three main types of houses in Pattaya:

• (usually one storey) with private pool or community pool in the village

• also with private pool or shared in the village

• townhouse (that is, a block of two or three, rarely four, floors, divided into sections, each of which is a house), which either has a common pool on the territory or not

What factors should you consider when renting a house? Is it a holiday or a long stay, what is your budget, what type of home is most suitable for you.
Next, we’ll figure out how to rent a house correctly, based on the two main options for renting a house: for vacation or long-term stay.

Rent a house in Pattaya for holidays

If you are going to spend your holidays in Pattaya and want to rent a house for these purposes, it is worth considering options within the city and, accordingly, not far from the sea.
You will have all the same infrastructure nearby as when living in a condominium; you can even walk to the sea, and you can get to any point in the city by public transport. There are also options for renting houses far enough from the sea, and these houses are really beautiful, large, well furnished, but perhaps not suitable for everyone for a holiday, as they can hit the wallet.

So you've decided to rent a house. Pattaya is divided into districts, and you need to decide on your desires. In order for everything to be comfortable and on a budget, it is worth considering: renting a house in the north of Pattaya. Next, we will consider two options for renting a house in Pattaya for your holiday.

Rent a house in Pattaya near the sea

A very common request, but from our point of view, it is not always justified. In Pattaya you can rent a private house with direct access to the beach, but there are certain difficulties. The first is related to the number of similar villages. In principle, there are few of them in Pattaya and the main limiting factor in their construction is the cost of land, and in most areas there is a road running parallel to the beach strip. That is, we can no longer talk about direct exit.
On the other hand, since there are few such villages, there are also few houses that can be rented. Difficulties mainly arise during the high season, as such houses are sold like freshly baked pies, despite the high cost.
You need to keep in mind that it always comes at a cost. But if you really want to rent one, we will, of course, help you.
Firstly, it is worth considering Majestic Villas on Pratumnak - it is a nice village, with villas, each of which has its own pool and has its own access to the beach.
Secondly, it is worth considering the villages in the Najomtien or Bang Saray areas - such as Ocean Lane Villas. In general, many villages in these two areas, if they are located on the side of the road closer to the sea, have their own path or path leading to the beach.

Features of renting a house in Pattaya near the sea

• Opportunity to rent a house with direct access to the beach without crossing the roadway
• , you have all the necessary infrastructure within walking distance
• When renting a house in Najomtien or Bang Saree, you will most likely need to rent transport

Rent a house in Pattaya for a short period

So, let's look at other options for renting a house for a short period, without taking into account the fact that we need direct access to the beach.
In principle, in any area of ​​the city you can find a house for short-term rent, with the possible exception of central Pattaya. However, it is worth considering a couple of details: such houses cannot boast of a large living area and land, and otherwise it may not be the cheapest option.
Another thing worth paying attention to is the availability of infrastructure and necessary amenities. That is, the further you are from the beach line and main roads, the smaller the number of different shops, cafes, etc. per sq. km. And this is an important factor. Believe me, you don’t want to rent a house, even if it’s within the city, but within a 15-minute walk to the nearest 7/11.
But there are such options, and they can also be considered - because of the very decoration of the house, both inside and outside, but only if you are ready to rent a vehicle.

Features of renting a house in Pattaya for a short period

• Opportunity to rent a house with a large living area, with its own territory and swimming pool, within the city, close to the sea and within walking distance to all necessary city infrastructure for a short period of time
• Ideal for family holidays
• No annoying neighbors or prying eyes
• If you are traveling with a pet, this is perhaps the only option for accommodation, since pets are not allowed in condominiums, except for rare exceptions

Features of renting a house on Pratumnak for a short period

• A good choice for renting a house for a short period of time, if you are looking for a house near the sea, with good infrastructure
• There are not many villages, so if you want, we recommend paying attention not only to individual houses, but also to renting a townhouse - for a lower cost you get a decent living space and a small number of neighbors

Features of renting a house in Jomtien for a short period

• Also a good option for
• But, from our point of view, to really enjoy your vacation, you should limit yourself to the area along or not far from Jomtien Second road
• Let us immediately note that there are few villages that are suitable for short-term living - in more budget villages, owners prefer to look for long-term tenants

Features of renting a house in North Pattaya for a short period

• From our point of view, this area is the least interesting for renting a house, and for any period of time
• There are several villages in the north, where you can rent a house for short periods
• If your favorite beach is Wong Amat, you plan to visit the Temple of Truth every day, and you like the view of high-rise buildings - then, of course, you need to choose the north

Long-term house rental in Pattaya

Renting a house in Pattaya for long term and short term varies greatly. Let's start with geography. Best of all, from our point of view, for, that is, the entire area beyond the Sukhumvit highway. You might object: it’s so far from the sea. And we will say that if you are going to live in Thailand for a long time, you will in any case come to the understanding that you need to rent at least some kind of transport. And also, based on personal experience, the sea no longer seems such a luxury and a necessary guarantee of a comfortable stay if you plan to stay here for a long time.

The second factor that makes an absolute champion in terms of renting a house for a long time is the price of renting a house itself.
Here you can rent both very budget houses costing about 13 thousand baht per month, and real palaces, the rent of which can reach up to 80,000 baht per month. That is, the choice is wide, and there are options for a wide variety of budgets and preferences, but if we move to the city limits, the price tag can be increased by 30-50% depending on the location.

You may be scared by the lack of infrastructure, but this is in vain - it is developing quite actively. Many people live here, there is a demand for real estate, and behind it the infrastructure is improving. Considering our above-mentioned advice regarding transport, all worries become completely unfounded. We've looked at the main points - let's continue to understand the geography.

House rental in Pattaya and East Pattaya

It so happened historically that it became a part outside the city, where people live in houses located in villages. This is understandable, since Pattaya is a resort city, and, accordingly, its central part is located along the main central beach, and the city itself is limited to Sukhumvit.
We have already discussed the main advantages of this area in terms of budget and infrastructure, now let’s talk about where exactly it is best. After all, the territory is really huge.
Let us immediately note that we will recommend the part of soi Siam Country Club and Lake Mabprachan (although the territory of Lake Mabprachan may seem too far for some), which stands apart in terms of renting good houses from Europeans.
There are a lot of really good villages here, with good houses that are more familiar to Westerners in design and decoration, and it has its own large European community and developed infrastructure.

We move south from the northernmost point where we should look for a house. Soi Khao Talo and soi Khao Noi are two more iconic streets if you are looking for accommodation to rent. This is where you can stay if you want to find a very budget house for rent in which you will be comfortable living.
Many Europeans also live here, so you won’t feel like a “black sheep”.
We move even further south. Soi Chayapreuk, and the beginning of Bang Sarey, which contains a popular Russian village. This part began to actively develop relatively recently, but due to the fact that Utapao Airport now accepts international flights, the construction of a large highway begins, and both infrastructure and demand for housing are being pulled up to it.
The villages here are mainly in the middle price range, the houses in them are good, solid, and not in Thai style (this is a special term that denotes a typical budget house that Thai companies build, focusing specifically on Thais). Houses in the Russian village stand out for their good level of execution, design and furnishings. Living in them is pleasant and comfortable.

Features of renting a house in East Pattaya

• The ability to rent a house of any type, in any style, for reasonable money
• Despite the remoteness from the central part of the city, there is all the necessary infrastructure for a comfortable stay for long periods and new shops and cafes are constantly appearing
• You need to be prepared for the fact that if you are going to live here for a long time, you will need to rent transport

Rent a house in Pattaya for a long time within the city

Renting a house in Pattaya for a long period, in general, from our point of view, is not the most budget option, and even controversial.
Again, a few words about rental pricing - the longer you rent a home, the lower the monthly rent. Of course, there will be a discount, but you should clearly understand why exactly you need to rent a house within the city.
If you are going to work in Pattaya, run a business, and you will need to quickly get to certain points in the city - then this is really justified. The second reason is if you can afford to rent a good house in a good village within the city. This is also a completely reasonable choice.
In principle, as with short-term rentals, in this case we still have the same three champions: , and northern Pattaya.

Features of renting a house in Pattaya for a long time within the city

• Opportunity to rent ideal family housing within the city
• A more expensive option than eastern Pattaya, but has advantages in terms of proximity to the central part of the city

People tied to work plan their vacations in advance. They know exactly how many days or weeks they have to spend on the sea or ocean coast, and they clearly control their expenses. A rare tourist will endure a multi-hour flight, with transfers for which a maximum of an hour is given, not to mention checking things into luggage, in order to end up in a hotel with a rating of less than 3 stars.

Condominium building in Pattaya where you can rent an apartment inexpensively

Today, most tourists, especially those who take children on vacation, try to choose accommodation separate from the hotel. And there are undoubted advantages to this. For example, if instead of a hotel room you rent an apartment in a condominium. This type of housing is becoming increasingly popular due to its space and comfort. Regardless of the number of bedrooms, a family of several people can easily accommodate here.

Renting a condo in Pattaya has both pros and cons. However, it remains unclear what the payment of rent can be attributed to. When paying for housing, for example, for three months, the tenant must pay exactly the same amount as a deposit. It will, of course, be returned upon departure, but what if the initial amount is only enough to pay for those very three months.

Interior of an inexpensive apartment in Pattaya

Basically, the condominium infrastructure requires parking for cars and motorcycles on the territory of the residential complex. By the way, some condominium residents prefer to enter the house through the parking lot. This possibility is provided. Also available to tenants is a laundry room, which is located on the ground floor, and entertainment venues in the form of restaurants, cafes or bars.

A swimming pool, usually located on the roof of the condominium, and a gym. However, the condominium infrastructure can be even more expanded and include not only SPA salons and transport rental (it’s different everywhere), but also much more.


As a rule, it depends on the price category. If you are planning a long-term rental of a condo in Pattaya, for example, overwintering, then it makes sense to take into account all the needs for a comfortable holiday in Thailand. For example, creative people associated with painting or literature, or simply people who value increased comfort, can afford to rent studio apartments or apartments with expensive furnishings. By the way, in the case of a long-term lease, the owner can make concessions by reducing the price by a couple of thousand baht.

The following parameters can also be considered as advantages:
Firstly, this is an opportunity to get to know the local color of the country closely, for relatively little money.

Secondly, this is a budget option for permanent residence of two to three weeks or more, because if the vacation is planned for a week, then it will be more profitable to stay in a hotel.

Thirdly, this is a huge selection of condominiums, since in recent years the rental housing market has only been growing every year. A minimal knowledge of English is enough - local residents themselves have difficulty understanding it, and they often have to explain themselves with gestures. Then, we must not forget that in Pattaya there are both expensive and cheap areas.

Unlike the private sector, there are areas in Pattaya where houses do not exist at all, or they are prohibitively expensive.

Or they may be booked for a long period of time. As practice shows, condominiums are available everywhere, perhaps excluding rare areas of East Pattaya. Thirdly, most condominiums in Pattaya include a kitchen or stove for cooking, and this significantly reduces the cost of going to restaurants or cafes.

Fourthly, the view from the window often opens to the coast, and for some this is of great importance.


If the windows face the other side and the sea is not visible, then you can see vegetation, which is also not bad.

Cons of renting a condo in Pattaya

Perhaps the main disadvantage of renting self-contained housing is the fact that local residents are extremely reluctant to rent out apartments for less than a month. There are exceptions, but you have to try hard for this. The disadvantages, as a rule, are exclusively individual.

For example, if the owners turn out to be harmful, or the building itself is old, or the air conditioner is faulty and this fact was kept silent, or if there are some other minor, but greatly spoiling, nuances.

It is extremely difficult to agree to rent a condo in Pattaya with your beloved pet. It’s difficult, because by law in most condominiums in Thailand it is prohibited to keep cats and dogs, despite the fact that there is a local zoo on the streets, which even includes lizards.

However, if the cat or dog is calm and if charisma prevails, then the owners may allow you to keep a pet in a rented apartment, even if it is something exotic in the form of a lizard or a hamster. But, if the owner has a large dog that vocalizes from time to time and needs to be walked, then he will have to rent a house, which will entail additional expenses.

An additional disadvantage is the neighbors who live in the Pattaya condominium. There are only two options here. Either make friends and relax together, or not be friends and quietly endure them for the period for which they came. Despite all the disadvantages, the view of the sea coast or the local nature is worth it.

Pattaya Condominiums

Atlantis Condo Resort is one of the inexpensive classes of condominiums, where monthly rent will not be as expensive as houses in other expensive areas. In addition, there is a developed internal infrastructure, including bars, restaurants and cafes, interspersed with waterfalls, lagoons and other beautiful things that create comfort and exoticism. The price corresponds to the quality.

Despite the fact that this is not the largest condominium in Pattaya, it is pleasant to be in it. Plus, it gives an idea of ​​what condominium developers will be offering in the future. First of all, it's water. Soon, water paths mixed with bridges and artificial lawns in the form of clearings will be found in almost all condominiums in Pattaya. By the way, Atlantis Condo Resort is not the most expensive condominium. A whole network of similar projects is currently being built in Pattaya.

In this condominium, there is a huge ship inside the courtyard, and it is hoped that soon it will cease to be decor and will serve some useful function. For example, transporting people. By the way, renting an apartment with a separate bedroom and an area of ​​less than 40 square meters starts at 18,000 baht per month, which is about 500 euros per month. If you're lucky, less. As a rule, an apartment is not rented out for less than three months. In addition, upon check-in you must pay an insurance fee equal to three months of rent. This amount is returned back to the bearer after eviction.

By the way, the cleaning service in some condominiums is not included in the price of renting a condo in Pattaya, so you will have to clean it yourself.

Pattaya is one of Thailand's most popular resort cities and tourist destinations in Southeast Asia.
The city is famous for its vibrant life every night, but Pattaya is also great for families.
There are a large number of national parks within an hour's drive of your accommodation, and beach lovers can soak up the turquoise water on the islands of Koh Larn and Samet.
So if you decide to stay in Thailand, an excellent choice - even for a week, even for a year, even for a month - is Pattaya. Renting housing here is very convenient.

Each district of the city offers a large selection of real estate for every taste, budget and preference: expensive villages with private luxury villas border on budget condominiums where you can relax in a cozy and comfortable manner; high-rise buildings with panoramic views of the sea and luxurious furnishings of the rooms are located next to large complexes for which an internal resort infrastructure has been built, which not every hotel can boast of. Renting housing in Pattaya for a month is a great vacation.

There is housing for every situation. Hotels are an excellent solution for those who stay in the city for a week and want service: cleaning, linen change, breakfast, etc., depending on the star rating of the hotel. But when people don’t need this or they plan to stay longer (or stay at all), then they are interested in renting apartments in Pattaya.

Apartments are rented out by owners, this is the same procedure as in Russia. Only here the bonus is a swimming pool and, as a rule, a gym. You can, for example, rent an apartment in Pattaya for a month in a multi-storey building or rent a villa. In the first case, the pool and gym will be common to the whole house, in the second case, only yours.

These multi-story buildings are called condominiums (or simply condos). There are many of them here, each with their own disadvantages and advantages. Very often the walk from the condo to the sea is only 5 minutes. Condo units are being snapped up by Thais and foreigners, who are renting them out. Hence their main difference - such apartments in Pattaya can be rented for a long time and inexpensively. Because it is beneficial for the owners. Almost no one deals with short periods, at least 4 days.

How much does it cost to rent a house in Pattaya for a month?

Prices vary so much that it is very difficult to give any figures. It is also impossible to compare with Russia, because we have the same history. Inexpensive housing in Pattaya is not easy to rent, but renting is easy. But everything is possible :) First, you need to understand the requirements that affect the price, we will talk about them below. Simply put, what should renting a home in Pattaya give you? And secondly, prices for identical apartments can be very different - the market is flexible, many people set it at obscenely high prices in the hope that someone will find it.

What affects the rental price of condominiums?

• season
• rental period
• quadrature (studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom)
• interior
• a district of the city
• distance to sea
• view from the window
• Internet
• washing machine
• plate
• equipment in the apartment

1-bedroom, 2-bedroom – these are the designations for the number of rooms for real estate rentals in Pattaya. 1-bedroom includes one room with a large bed and a living room. The living room can often be a full second room; As a rule, there is a folding sofa there. 2-bedroom – two bedrooms + living room.
A washing machine and the Internet are two problems in Thailand. There are almost no washing machines, and the Internet is bad. If the latter is important to you, look for an apartment with a dedicated Internet line, that is, so that you have a separate cable and router in your apartment. They may tell you that you can connect it for a fee, but you need to be careful here. Sometimes providers require a contract for a year at once and nothing else. And you most likely don't need it. This is how apartments are rented in Pattaya.

Example:
1-bedroom with a luxury interior in the Pratamnak area with a spacious living room with a folding sofa. It's a 5-7 minute walk to the sea. Let it be visible from the roof, and from the window there is a view of the city. The apartment has an internet cable, there is a router and the speed is good. There is no washing machine. There is a stove. The apartment has two plasmas and two air conditioners, a combined bathroom. Let's imagine that the season is now low and you are interested in renting an apartment in Pattaya for a month.
It can cost you from 12,000 to 18,000 baht, plus water and internet meters of about 1,500 to 3,000 baht. This is a touristic, rather expensive area. With a contract for 6 months, the price tag can drop up to 30%.

Pattaya will not surprise those wishing to rent an apartment in Thailand with special rules. If you move into or reserve an apartment, you will need to pay a deposit (deposit). This is your guarantee of compliance with the contract. It will be returned to you if you move out no earlier than agreed and do not damage anything in the apartment. The size of the deposit is determined by the owner; it can be from half the monthly cost to two months. As a rule, the higher the class of the apartment, the larger the deposit. Although there are exceptions.

How to rent housing in Pattaya inexpensively?

The owners are interested in renting out their apartment to someone all the time. Therefore, they contact agencies, condo offices and place advertisements. They don’t care which channel will work, but our task is to contact the owner directly in order to save money. And the savings are considerable. This can only be done by touring the condo. Owners put paper advertisements on stands, and this is the best way to reach them. Our team is already familiar with many owners who are constantly looking for new tenants. On the Internet, a realtor often acts as an owner under the guise of an owner. The client doesn't know anything. And when it comes to moving in, it turns out that the real owner is his acquaintance, friend, uncle... this is a well-known song. Here you already know that you could pay less :)

What types of fraud schemes exist when renting an apartment?

People cheat in Pattaya very rarely. But hope for honesty, and don’t make a mistake yourself.
Unfortunately, most cases of fraud involve dishonest Russian citizens. Sadly, the Russians are deceiving the Russians. There are almost no problems with Thais, but it is difficult to communicate with them. Even English doesn’t really help here, because they don’t know it very well, and the pronunciation is very distorted :)

But in any case, when moving into an apartment, ask for chanoda. This is a document of ownership. It will prove that you are dealing with the owner. Otherwise, it may turn out that you rented an apartment from the same tenant, who took your money and has already disappeared in an unknown direction. He may offer you to rent an apartment very cheaply, but he will ask you to pay money a year or six months in advance. Never agree to this, it smells strongly of danger. Always pay only one month in advance.

Fraudulent owners try not to give a deposit if they know that you will soon have a plane. They say that they are about to give it up, they swear and swear. People don’t dare postpone their flight, they fly away and, of course, get nothing. Again, this is a huge rarity, but out of an abundance of caution, do not share your departure date.

How agencies work in Pattaya

When the owner contacts the agency, he names the price for which he is willing to rent out the property. Such an agency can even be one person, a realtor, and even without an office.
The agency rents you an apartment at a higher price. As expensive as it gets. And then it turns out that every month you overpay money to this agency. You will not be introduced to the owner. Sometimes everything looks as if the owner is some brother, matchmaker, acquaintance of the person with whom you are communicating. And he just helps him, but in fact he is a realtor who will now feed a little from you :)
