Brand new Pattaya condo for sale.

Absolute bargain at 32,500 baht sqm

TW Pattaya Klang condo – Just behind Carrefour on Pattaya 3rd Road

48 sqm studio on the 14th Floor available in foreigner name.

Price 1,560,000 baht

The developer is selling the same units at around 2.7 million. Their web sites here:

http://www.ratanakorn.com/pattaya_klang/condo1.php

I goggled the condo and went through estate agents web sites. The cheapest I could find anything similar was 1.8 million, and I don’t think that was available in foreigner name.

32,500 sqm is an off plan price from 3 years ago before construction started.

I’m in Pattaya for the next week and feel I have priced it to sell quickly.

I have also asked the people working in the condo to look for customers, telling them that if they can find anybody who can complete in the next week they can keep anything on top of the 1,560,000.

If you decide to look at the condo building before contacting me, please be explicit to anyone in the condo building that asks that you, that you saw the sellers internet advert for the quick sale 14th floor unit. I am keeping one unit on the 16th floor and don’t want the aggravation of the condo people thinking I “stole” their customer.

I see the developer gets 200,000 baht for a foreign name. Is the unit already in your name? or is the price 1,560,000 + 200,000???
pattaya1234

The condo is already in my name. The price is 1,560,000 including registering in a foreign name, an extra 200,000 does not have to paid to the developer

Looks like there's no kitchen?

Just a shower room with a toilet in it and one room with balcony?

Floor looks nice, maybe the price is nice as well.

I think I could get the same cheaper if I wait.

I'd be interested in knowing if this place sells at or above the asking price. The location is nowhere near the beach, right?

My estimate: 800,000 baht.

The location is just behind carrefour on 3rd Road. Google maps puts it about 900m from the sea

The photo shows the condo has a partial see view.

800,000 baht estimate is 16,600 sqm. Can you list any new build selling for that price? Or any condo at all?

Any information on annual / monthly maintenance fees ?

By the way: when will the building be finished ?

I'm just giving you a hard time. Pay no attention. In British Pounds, the price may be good. But in US dollars, that's a lot of money for a condo in a politically unstable country. I could go to Florida and buy a repo for that, and I wouldn't have to worry about someone taking it away from me at some point. So, at 1.5 million baht, no thanks. At 800,000? I might take a look. Let's come back to this thread in a year, shall we?

I rode past this place today. The area seems ok, but more businesses need to move into the nearby shop houses to give it more of a lively feeling.

One thing I really dislike about a lot of the smaller condos is the lack of a kitchen. I know, I know, people will say that there is plenty of food to be purchased, but sometimes I enjoy cooking for myself.

I highly doubt that will ever happen!
sinbinjack
I don't think it has sold as I believe the OP would tell us just to prove his price was a good one.I like many on here don't think that was a good price then and its even less good now.

Brand new studios available Soi Khaotalo for 720,000 Baht I certainly would not pay double to be 200 metres closer to the 'action'

Got any more info on these?

At that price it probably is just a shell. Finishing could bring the price up quite a bit, especially for the location.

Be careful.

I noticed that no one talked about the size of the unit. 48 square meters is a livable condo. Some guys buy tiny shoebox size units. I'm talking about 28 square meters and brag about how little they paid. Any price under 35,000 baht per square meter is a pretty good price. People paying 100,000 and up per square meter have more money than sense.

www.eakmongkol.com the Mountain development

Eakmongkol are an established pattaya builder and in fact we live on one of their developments.

There is no furniture but the Kitchen units and bathroom is included in that price and they are about 30 sqm

The development is opposite the Diamond factory on Soi Khaotalo so I think the long term lets from the Thai's there would be pretty good.

Under about 60sqm you are going to either be in a studio or having a very small bedroom and a consequently reduced living space. 48sqm for a studio is a nice size

And how many rooms do you need ? My guess is a living room come kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom with just about everything over that being superfluous unless you have somehow grown another arse and can crap on more than one toilet at a time.

I have a one bedroom 60 square meter corner unit. The bedroom is bigger than the living room. I have my computer in the bedroom along with a big TV. The bedroom has an efficient air conditioner. Since I spent most of my time in the bedroom, my electric bills were very reasonable. The air conditioner for the living room and kitchen was seldom used. More space would actually be a waste. I'd say 60 square meters is ideal for full time living.

ADDED - My girlfriend at that time didn't like air conditioning and much preferred Thai TV. I had my cable TV in the bedroom and the living room had Thai TV. That in itself is a great reason for a separate bedroom.

Depends on whether it will be occasional use or living there full time?
A condo of your own beats a hotel room, but after 25 years of mostly living in hotel rooms a single condo of under 40 m2 wouldn't appeal to me as a home..... perhaps make a good ST backup. biggrin.gif

I find having a spare shitter useful when she gets in one of them!

The biggest studio I've got is 46 sqm and that is just about big enough to create a break in area between the bed and a daytime area with sofas and table etc. though as a studio, it is all in one. I cannot imagine a mere 14 sqm more with a separated bedroom and were I designing it from scratch, I'd make the bathroom larger.

Different shapes do work differently I confess and perhaps a longer, thinner condo would lend itself to a bedroom more than a rectangular or square unit.

After living in condos and then houses, I am not sure I could easily go back to living in a condo again.
