In search of a condo rental

[Bruce Mangosteen]

OK, we're now just under a month until relocation to Thailand.  We'll be based in Thailand, returning to the US for a month or so once a year while my mother is still on this side of the veil.

We'll be looking for a condo to lease/rent a full year at a time.  Soliciting suggestions on where to look.

Desired specs:

- Condo/apartment, not a house.
- Location preference 1) Jomtien 2) Pratamnak 3) Pattaya
- One bedroom (not a studio).
- Rent ~12K - 20K/month.  Year's advance OK if the landlord is trustworthy.
- Sea views a big plus.
- 4th floor or higher preferred (wife worried about floods).
- Walk to beach 10 minutes or less if possible.
- On premise gym preferred but not mandatory.  Swimming pool also a plus.
- Shops and bars:  Ground floor of building optimum, short walk preferred.  Prefer nothing requiring transportation.
- Near baht bus route preferred (obviously this is at odds with most of Pratamnak but...).
- Farang ownership a plus, if already acquainted or friend a big plus.

We're in no rush, and have a dedicated place to stay in the Ayutthaya area.  

Please suggest specific buildings and even units if possible.  Contact info for owners/landlords would be appreciated.

Also, please reply if you've used an agency and have gotten a good result.  I realize these will be a bit more expensive but if they're good they cut down on the hassle.

Thanks in advance.  See you soon!

Tudor Court on Pratumnak was the development i was selling at the time. Ticks most of your boxes.

I drove past it earlier this year and it still looks good.

Sorry I don't know the contact now as my old boss sold off all his interests in it a while ago.
