View Talay Villas

[Soi_6_Slider]

Hey everyone just curious if anyone has checked these condos out and are they as nice as the pics (duh probably not).

 

They also advertise that they will rent it out for you giving you like 10% a year while you visit for 3 weeks a year. Think this is a ripoff??

Great place - and yes, it looks exactly as nice as on the pics. I go there every time when I'm in Pattaya. With 5,000+ per night not really cheap, but definitely worth the price: everything clean and tasteful, very calm (even the aircon), and each villa with its own kitchen, swimming pool and beautiful plants outside where no neighbours can watch what you are doing   Friendly and discrete staff, no joiner fees, no id check.

...I refer to the Villas; View Talay Condos is a different place I haven't checked out.

Cool yea the Villas was what I meant. So they are nice thats cool the site says they have the second section of lots available for late 2003. Wish I could get one of these babies.

Any posters on here own one of these? I'm curious as to how the renting aspect is working out for them?

 

Those of you lucky bastards in Pattaya right now....ARGH! Lol.

Does anyone know how approriate/inappropriate it would be to rent one of the villas for a few days and have a big party there?  Probably a dozen or so guys coming in and out and an equal number (or more!) of girls.  How private are these places and how much noise can you make without upseting the neighbors?

I've stayed at View Talay on numerous occassions and its fantastic....quiet and secluded with your own swimming pool and no problems bringing a girl back.

I know in the past theyve had swimming pool parties where you can have a barbecue.You can have say two or more farangs with a couple of Thai girls for each of you.....all of you get your kit off and frolic in the pool !

But its split into two parts....some residential,some timeshare.....if you rented in the residential bit you would have to be careful of annoying your neighbours.

It doesnt come cheap though....1 bedroom villa about 6000 baht per night,2 bedroom villa about 12000 baht per night....according to their website.

You can buy a timeshare for a few weeks each year,although that will cost you thousands and you have to pay a yearly maintenance fee.It lasts for 60 years so even the young studs amongst us will have croaked it by then !....you can pass your membership on.

But if you are a timeshare member renting these places for more than your allocation is a lot cheaper....1 bedroom villa maybe 2300 baht per night.

But your probably best going to the office in Jomtien to make enquiries and negotiate a deal.

I agree with the all the above comments, excellent place. The Viewtalay Management have a good reputation. The Villas are out of my price range but I bought a Studio in Viewtalay 2 Condos last year and I am very happy with it. Stayed there over Xmas and its now rented again. There does not seem to be a problem getting good tenants in the Viewtalay Buildings.

    Go slowly, guys.  I recommend that if you are going to buy, you do it to have a place to stay, not as an investment.  Some, as stated, have had good luck in renting them out when they are not in country, but others obviously have not.  Just look in the classified section of the Pattaya Mail, or in the Pattaya Trader.  Both are full of adds by owners trying to sell.  Why, I wonder?

    About a year and a half ago I bought a studio condo, not at View Talay, for my own use.  No regrets.  And if the economy goes belly up, as it did not that long ago, I won't feel that I have lost much.          Roy

Further to my previous post I agee with Iaffnlav. I should clarify that my Condo cost me no more than what a family car costs here in Aus so if I cannot rent it or the economy goes belly up its no big loss. I would be very careful about spending up big on property in Thailand, especially as the current Gov is not very farang friendly. But having it for my own use is very nice.

Sunny,

 

Yea the Talay Residence sounds nice and alot more affordable than the Villas. Sounds like you're going all out on yours. Which design is it of the three?

 

Seems this company is a good one and will continue to build nice projects, lets hope.

Shit_Happens,

 

If you don't mind my asking, how do you go about renting your condo when you are out of the country?

 

Meaning does View Talay assist you in any way? Giving them the keys, payment, etc.

 

I'm just curious as to the complications involved and part View Talay plays.

 

Thanks.

I have a friend who lives there and takes care of it. If he left Thailand there are a couple of honest Agents who I would give it to for them to handle.
