If
you are a regular visit to sunny Pattaya on the east coast of
Thailand, you may find that you have decided to stay long-term.
People often come for a 2 week holiday and then fall in love with the
place and decide to stay a little longer.
Renting
hotels can become very costly when staying for a long time. Although
most hotels offer discounts for monthly rent, it still works out much
more expensive than renting an apartment or condo. The only added
bonus of a hotel is that you get your room cleaned for you!
Finding
a property for rent in Pattaya is not hard to do as there are
apartments and condo's everywhere you look; however, during the high
seasons, you may find that the availability of these properties
starts to decline. There are many advertisement boards located
throughout the shopping centres in the area, listing properties that
are available for long term rentals. Most landlords want at least a
minimum of a 3 month rental commitment. There are also magazines
located around the vicinity that have classified rentals listed.
The
easiest way to find a property suited to you is to speak to one of
the local property agents. There are many of these agents around
Pattaya, so you should have no trouble finding one. The great thing
about sourcing a property through an agent is that they will usually
take care of everything for you. This means that they will arrange a
viewing of the properties that you are interested in and will also
deal with the landlord on your behalf. They will collect your deposit
and ensure that you get it fully returned to you if you leave.
There
have been many stories of foreigners being denied their deposits when
renting directly with a landlord so it may be a good idea to use an
agent, just for this reason.
If
you decide to rent a condo in Pattaya, you will usually find yourself paying a
minimum of 10,000bht per month. Condo's however, usually come with
stunning views of the resort, or the sea because they are so high up.
You also usually get the use of a communal swimming pool, whilst some
of the higher priced condominiums have fitness centres too.
