Dumsoda Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 How long is your ...long term stay?? Would recommend looking at renting a condo, rather than an Hotel. 12 -15k rents a nice place....add 3 or 4 for power, water & I/net and its not much more than a 500Bt/day Guest House Chalk & Cheese Chrs DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horneytorney Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 close to the action but not too close? you mean in walking distance or not? what is your budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Patts has so much accommodation, at every conceivable price point, that its scary. Throw in low season and you, my friend, are laughing. ' I have, however, seen a better deal. Sure, its a thousand km north of Walking St, but when was the last time anyone rented a townhouse for 60k baht. A year. Gotta be a typo - Nong Khai might not be upper Suk, but 5000 baht a month for something with an upstairs AND a downstairs ? WTF ? My link You DID mention in another thread that you wanted to see Laos ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Aaah, yeah - just remembered what living next to a very large body of water entails - you might be happier sticking to the Gulf of Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexi Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I have stayed at Central Place Apartment just off soi 16 Pttya Glahng.Average size rooms no balcony or view but only 5-7 k bt/month.There are several similar places in the area. Convenient for the fruit and veg.market ( also wide range of food available at night )and Tops supermarket on the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allatsea2000 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 thanks for the replies guys, and oh no i dont want a river view thanks lol. Condo doah never even thought about that great suggestion, as for budget i dont have one really, i just know ill be there for at least a year, 48 going on 49, if i go soon, and stay for just a tick over a year then i hit the magic 50 and can apply for the retirement visa, so in short at least a year, sprinkled with short trips here and there, maybe incorporating them with the visa runs ill have to do i suppose.

SirHalberd Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 thanks for the replies guys, and oh no i dont want a river view thanks lol.

If it is a year then why not get an apartment? Since money is no object get a place, even a serviced apartment, where you can do some cooking. Why eat out all the time when you can fry a steak when you want or something more elaborate. If you do not have a budget in mind then spend the same amount you spend at home. That way your income/expense will be more neutral. I prefer the area roughly between Central Pattaya Road and maybe Soi Diana/Soi Lengkee. Perhaps Soi Buakhow to Third Road. Close enough to cheap transportation, or walk to malls, restaurants, nightlife, etc. Choose a place that is not anywhere near a karaoke place. You get a lot of young Thai males in those places and they are open late with loud music. Perhaps for a short while you could use one of the LK places, like LK Mansion, or R-Con Residence off Soi Buakhaow. When you are living in Pattaya for a while you usually buy at least a microwave, maybe an electric oven if the apartment has no stove. If you have a girlfriend with you you will need a rice cooker and you should have a hot water boiler/coffee pot. http://www.thaiwaysmagazine.com/pattaya_map/pattaya_map_pattaya.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseafan Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 If its a basic hotel you want, then inntown holiday on Soi Honey (11) is pretty good at 650baht a night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I have just booked a Deluxe One Bedroom Suite at Nova Park for 19,000++ / Month. I stayed there previously for 3 years and have no problems using the place again especially since the rooms have recently all been renovated and the place is like new again.
