To be honest.

I'd like my own condo here.
Trouble is:

1. I don't trust Thai's and Pattaya.

Even with documents, ownership papers etc. I'd still write the money paid for it off. Could never see anything as an investment. Just a loss.


2. Will we even want to be here in 10 years time?

Already. Guys I know bought in Paradise condo's Naklua are pissed off. Russian takeover.
If the P4P scene gets more expensive/worse.

Would you be happy living in a shitty seaside resort when your older surrounded by people that want to rip you off and hate you?

Condo's in Pattaya... I wouldn't touch anything new with a barge pole. These 40sqm boxes 'behind the Avenue' for 75 grand sterling, not in a million years.

Condo's over ten years old that have no bullshit going on with them like View Talay 2 and 5... I don't think you'd go far wrong with one of them.

yep, agree

I sometimes use the Avenues to cut through to soi bukhao.

Noticed a completed condo building, prices from 4 million baht, or £ 80 K.
That for 34 sq. mtr, complete with view of the Avenues car park.

Marvellous, not.


Further along some being constructed, prices from 6.9 and 7.5 million baht ( no idea of size though)

Yet the building or planning for it carries on, some businesses on soi Excite being given notice to vacate as there are plans for new condo blocks to be put up.
