Do you have a link for this development Jambo....Sounds like an interesting option.

Shall be interested to read what you have to report Sumbag

You say 10k per month without contract near Pattaya Park I shall be surprised if it is up to much but then again, we all have our standards. Three times I have rented long term in Pat's and in addition I have owned in VT for a brief stint and one thing I have learnt is that, very few bargains exist under market value Probably the best deal I had was in the Jomtien Complex where I was fairly high up in a 55sq mtr studio for 12k per month plus utiliities and the place was nicely furnished but the establishment fell short in other areas although I adored the beach front location. I must give Naklua a try quite soon however, being a Walking Street fan and everyting else which goes with it, the long journey home at 3am could spell danger ahead. In a weeks time I am back in Thailand for another six month stint and this time I have chosen a place in which I trialed for a week in May. I have agreed a studio price of 17k pm + elec & water on the basis I stay six months. I'll stay a month and if I am not happy, we look elsewhere. http://www.lkpattayahotel.com/pavilion/index.html

Although I like Jomtien, I have never been a fan of View Talay especailly VT 1 due to it's many lower classes who happen to exist there. VT 2 is a lot better

I wrote a review on the place http://www.pattayapages.com/reviewpost/sho...=7&cat=4&page=3 Great little hotel especially good for those who enjoy Walking Steet

17k per month is for a studio. Maid service and change of bedding every other day. We never discussed water however, using a shower as opposed to a tub equates to pennies so that does not concern me and it's certainly not a deal breaker. The front desk told me that I should expect to pay 1200-3500 per month for electricity.

I have agreed to stay six months in order to qualify for 17k per month. They also told me 3-6 months=18k per month. As soon as I walked into one of the rooms I was sold I have also heard good reports of this place which is an all together a much lower cost http://www.diamondcitypattaya.com/accommodation.html

With a budget of around 20,000 per month including utilities, I have also been looking in areas of South Pattaya and Jomtien excluding View Talay (which quite frankly I find depressing, and judging by the amount of jumpers so do many others) In the end I have signed up for a studio in LK pavilion which upon inspection, I both liked the accomodation and the staff attitude They ticked all the boxes and we have agreed on a rate of 17k per month+electric at 7Baht a unit. http://www.lkpattayahotel.com/pavilion/index.html

Would tend to go along with that.. I have a few friends both in England and Australia who are in the A/C business and all of them agree that it is not healthy to sleep with it switched on.

Bloody Hell, it seems to me that you gentlemen living in Thailand are spending much more money on keeping cool than many of us are on trying to keep warm in the depths of the UK winter. Are Thai people billed for their electricity at the same rate as Frank the Farang ?

Definitely a 500 baht joiner fee unless the girl registers with you upon check in.

I was checking back in to the Nana ten days ago for another stay of three nights when the reception desk took a call from someone who wanted to make a reservation and the reply I heard was...Sorry, the hotel is fully booked for the month of June It just goes to show, that for everyone who thinks the place is a shit hole, there are three or four of us who are satisfied customers. Clearly the Nana has rooms of different grades and I have to say, now that they recognise me as a frequent customer..I am very satisfied with the accomodation which they provide and in around 30 stays there, I have never seen a bug! One area which never seems to get a mention is the pool...You would have to be highly criticle to knock that :-

Yeah it got me yesterday but Norton got rid of it

Price seems fair enough

70 to the Pound is a great rate and we can't ask for much more than that
