How to choose an apartment in Thailand to buy: condo up to 900 thousand baht (less than $29000)
June 15, 2021
In the first part “How to choose an apartment in Thailand to buy: the cheapest condos” we looked at condominiums costing from 600 to 700 thousand baht (approximately 24 thousand dollars).
In the same article, I mentioned that there will be a sequel. I was planning to do a review of apartments for sale in the range of 800,000 – 1,000,000 baht, but there are a lot of proposals in this range, so I split it in two. In this post, we will look at apartments between 800,000 and 900,000 baht.
Unlike the previous article, I will not mention apartments that do not belong to the foreign quota. Those for which the type of ownership is not specified will also not be mentioned.
If you are looking for an inexpensive studio in a condominium, then you should focus on the price of 900-950 thousand baht, since everything that is cheaper, or has a flaw, or is a bargain that quickly disappears from the market and needs to be watched.
Let me remind you that I am looking through the ads for the sale of apartments on this site: https://www.thailand-property.com/condos-for-sale/chonburi/pattaya?sort=min_price
Links to other sites with advertisements for the sale of apartments in Thailand can be found in the article “Where else to look for apartments for purchase and rent in Thailand”.

There are many offers – we continue to search.

Huge area – 44 square meters, apparently due to the huge balcony. The room looks moderately worn. It is necessary to carefully study the nuances associated with the first floor – thieves, insects, the noise of cars, onlookers looking in the windows and so on.
Location – Jomtien.
It is difficult to answer unequivocally – in general, there are big doubts about this room.

Nice room.
Compared to the other rooms discussed above, which, although located in Jomtien, are located quite close to South Pattaya, this room is further from Pattaya, but by the sea!
I liked this apartment. Depending on what turns out to be stronger of the three feelings: the desire to be closer to the sea, the desire to be closer to central Pattaya, the desire to have a room with high-quality repairs and good furniture, this room may well become a candidate for purchase.

A small room on the border of South Pattaya and Jomtien. A sofa on its side evokes a thought brings up the idea that the room is quite cramped. There is something wrong with the photographs – either photographs of two rooms are mixed, or it is one room in different years.
There is no place to put a full-fledged desk for the workplace.
Conclusion
Up to 900 thousand baht, and up to 1 million baht, it is impossible to find a good room near the city center. For this money, you can buy good rooms in Jomtien and worse rooms on Pratumnak Hill (the edge of southern Pattaya towards Jomtien).
