Investing in Pattaya Condos

As you all know, Thailand is a country with wonderful beaches that are visited by people not only for sunbathing but they are used for diving as well. Besides in Thailand you can see gorgeous girls dancing traditional Thai dances, wearing colorful costumes and moving their hands and fingers in a fascinating way. Moreover, Thailand is the paradise of tropical fruit and the home of a multitude of mysteries related to the invisible world of the spirits. But nowadays, Thailand in general and Pattaya especially is an opportunity for those who want to purchase a condo. This is a great opportunity especially for foreigners who come to live in Pattaya, because one of the local laws concerning foreigners restricts the right for them to own a land in the area. On the other hand it is beneficial for local people too, to get a condo, because Pattaya is situated not far from Bangkok and people living in the capital can afford to purchase a condo in Pattaya as a weekend or holiday destination.

Pattaya condos are in general located on the beach, which is a great attraction for any solar human being who can imagine that in the morning instead of having a shower in the bathroom rushes into the sea and lets his or her body caressed by friendly or rough waves. Besides Pattaya beach condos are the dream of every surf addict who must not spend a lot of time in order to reach his or her hobby destination. To continue with, luxury condos in Pattaya are destined to people who spend a lot of time in the crowd and pollution of big cities, whom are businessmen, artists or politicians and who want to relax for a weekend far from the crowd. And what can be more comforting for any tired person than to watch the sea and to daydream of its colors and mysteries, listening to the waves' music and getting rid of stress.

Best Budget Pattaya Hotels Close to Pattaya's Nightlife

Pattaya is the closest beach resort to Bangkok. And just like its sister city - Pattaya has some of the most affordable low budget hotels found in Thailand. And most of them are situated near Pattaya's Beach and close to the raunchy red light district that has infamously put Pattaya on the map.

Pattaya is a city though not large one. So it's best to stay in a hotel close to the center of the city. Fortunately most of the budget hotels are found there. And there are many with some being better then others. Just remember though if you find a room rate with unbelievably low rates it's probably because there is no air conditioning.

Pattaya Beach

Pattaya can get quite hot. So for most tourist air conditioning is an absolute essential.

To start off one of the best budget hotels in Pattaya is called Sunshine Hotel and Residence. Located on Soi 8 on the popular Beach Road (which is close to the red light district), Sunshine offers incredibly low room rates and equally incredible value. For 900THB you get a decent room and the use of 2 swimming pools. And their room rates normally include a free breakfast.

Another fine budget establishment is the Eastiny Hotel that is near the Sunshine Hotel and close to the beaches and bars as well. Eastiny cost a bit more and the rooms are slightly smaller. But it is a good alternative choice if Sunshine is fully booked.

Though one of my favorite budget hotel has to be the Sabai Lodge. It's not the closest to the beach or the red light districts it certainly is not far either. And since there is a Baht bus stop right outside the hotel you have easy access to all of the tourist hot spots. Rooms at the Sabai are clean and well appointed. And there are 4 swimming pools which can easily accommodate guests staying in this hotel.

Now if you're the type who can live comfortably with a fan only in a spartan room then you might want to consider the Sawasdee Sea View Hotel. It's extremely close to the beach and most rooms get a view of it. Best of all by paying 500THB you will get a decent room though it won't be the best shape or condition.

Finally, to land yourself better room rates and deals it is best to book a room through a hotel reservation agency that is based in Thailand. When booking directly through a hotel's website you will often be charged a bit more. Hotel reservation agencies are provided with wholesale rates which are significantly reduced - so a part of the savings are passed on to you.

Holiday Rental in View Talay 3 - Jomtien Pattaya Thailand

View Talay 3 is located in Pratanack and sits on the beach front near Dongtan Jomtien. It is the only View Talay that can be called truly beach front location. From the condo you can stroll down to the beach front through gated entrance. The location of VT3 is quite and peaceful and is approximately 1 ½ Km from Thrappraya road which is the main road into Jomtien and Pattaya. The standard room size is 48sqm but some owners have joined two or more units together. All the apartments have large spacious balconies to sit out on and enjoy a drink with out feeling cramped.

Normally the choice would be to rent on the Pattaya side as it does not get to hot but the views are not so good so most people prefer the Jomtien side where you have good views of the beach and islands. The pool is located close to the beach which means you can have a swim and still hear the sound of the waves. The pool area also has a restaurant serving both Thai and western food. The restaurant is open plan and has breeze from the beach. Very relaxing.

Pattaya Beach

Inside View Talay 3A is a mini mart with all the basic things you require for a holiday but if you require more then the food mart in Jomtien is not far away. As a beach side holiday rental View Talay 3 is perfect but a point worth considering is. If you want to go into town a lot then transportation is not as readily available here as say View Talay 1, 2, 5, 6 or 7 Unless you don't mind hopping on the back of a motor bike taxi.

The average cost of a 48sqm rental is between 19000 and 23000Baht and if your thinking about buying. Between 2.5 and 3.5 Million Baht. So View Talay 3 is a great beach side location but if you want easy access into Pattaya and Jomtien then please consider the transportation. This is a great location for the beach lover who doesn't want long walks or roads to cross to get to the beach.

Pattaya Nightlife - Hedonism, Dreams and Illusions

Pattaya is Thailand's biggest beach destination. Located just two hours from Bangkok, this city by the Gulf of Thailand continues to attract thousands every month from all over the world. What's not to like? Beach, sun and sand. Great entertainment, great food and great nightlife. It's the latter that is the biggest draw for both hopeful foreign men and Thai girls alike.

Pattaya's nightlife is like no other. The city has been referred to as Sin City, but dig a little deeper, and you will find Pattaya has a lot more to offer than outdoor bars and gogo's.

Pattaya Beach

It's always going to be about sex, love and lust though. Pattaya girls are rightly famous around the world for their ability to make men feel like kings, strong, young, desired.

I have travelled much of the world, but there is nowhere like Pattaya. The number of attractive - and single - women in one location is just mind blowing. Walk down a street at night in Pattaya - any random street - and you will know what I mean.

Pattaya is a place of opportunity, of fresh starts in life. You never know what may happen when you leave your room here. Go outside smile at a girl, make small talk, and take it from there. It may come to nothing or it may end up in nights with the best sex you ever had. You may have met your future wife, but you don't know it yet. Whatever you are looking for in Pattaya, there is a good chance you will find it.

Pattaya can seem like an adult playground. Both the guys and the girls seem most interested in the pursuit of instant pleasure and gratification, but there are many who have other dreams in Pattaya. Many foreign men would like to meet a girlfriend or wife and so do many Thai women. The girls dream of their Prince to carry them away to far away countries, or at least a trip in Thailand! I've seen many happy couples over the years who met in Pattaya. I've also seen many bad relationships.

It's easy to live an illusion here and new guys seem most susceptible to getting involved with the wrong kind of girl.

The Best Romantic Vacations

The best romantic vacations are those that bring a couple together. This can mean spending time alone, without friends or family around. It can also mean an opportunity to do things together. Here are five of the best romantic vacations.

Beach Vacations

Pattaya Beach

Beaches are romantic. The sun, sand, and the sound of the waves relax you and take away the stress and worry of "everyday life." Relaxation and escaping stress is always better for romance. Find a place that is ON the beach, not a hotel miles from the beach. Dealing with traffic, packing and unpacking the car is not romantic.

If you are on a budget, you can do like we did in northern Florida. We stayed in our conversion van at a campground on the beach. We collected shells together, flew a kite in the breeze and took our chairs down by the water to watch the sunset. The beaches of the great lakes are another great place to check out, and are much more affordable.

Cruises

Cruises may be the ultimate romantic vacation. You escape it all - even the sight of land. Being isolated together, especially in the comfort of a cruise ship, can be great for a couple. Just be sure that both of you like the idea, and budget enough so money worries don't steal the romance. (Cruise ship bars are notoriously expensive.)

Talk about your options. Perhaps you'll discover that both of you were assuming the other wanted a traditional sunny carribean cruise, when in reality, you both would love to watch whales and glaciers on an Alaskan cruise. There are many different styles and destinations for cruises. See if the cruise has activities that you'll enjoy participating in together.

Trains

In Ecuador, my wife and I took a train from Riobamba to Alausi. It was scenic, romantic and adventurous. I rode on the roof for part of the trip, then we snuggled to keep warm as it went high into the Andes Mountains. The final destination is a valley where you get a view of a rock formation high above, called "La Nariz Del Diablo," or "The Devil's Nose."

There are scenic and romantic train rides all over the world. Some of Amtrak's more scenic stretches take days and can be a vacation in themselves. Otherwise, you can plan a vacation around one or more "dinner trains" or scenic rides like the one we took from Silverton to Durango Colorado (beautiful mountains).

Skiing Vacations

These are only romantic if you both love to ski, of course. To be together in a dramatic setting, sharing something that you both enjoy - that is one of the best romantic vacations imaginable. Don't forget to sit together by the fireplace at least once while you're there.

Small Towns

We have found that some of our most romantic times are when we stay in small towns. This is especially true if the tourist season is mostly over, or hasn't yet begun. Silverton Colorado in September was one of our favorites. No crowds, fantastic views of the surrounding mountains, local music and dancing in the bars at night - it was very romantic.

Location isn't the most important part of the romance. Find a place you both want to go to, by all means, but also remember to find things you can do together. Trips where you can share common interests are the best romantic vacations.
