View Talay Pattaya Beach Condominium (project 6) or View Talay 6 Condominium (common name) is a high-rise residential building  located on Pattaya Beach Rd. Was build in 2007.

The design of the project is absolutely the same as another View Talays, maybe with one exception – View Talay 6 have underground parking.

The location is very convenient for somebody who like to be in the center of it all – main road with public transportation is 30 meter far from condominium, as well as central Pattaya beach.  Hundreds of eaters places and variety of entertainment facilities are also near by.

Huge shopping mall “Central Festival” is also close to the building .  From the one hand presence of new plaza is advantage for  co-owners: top-class restaurants with international cuisines and dozens of shops are 5 min far from apartment. From another side: the north part of the building is very close to the plaza and so well to the noisy construction of Hilton Hotel above the plaza. Taking into consideration that the first six floors set aside for the shopping center parking lot, owners on same level  are having now  “parking view”, dust and smoke (distance between two buildings not more than 7 meters).

I know one owner, who bought unit on 4th floor View Talay 6 (north side)  1,5 years ago for the price about 90,000 USD. Now he trying to sell it – the rare offer is  10,000 USD – terrible fact.

The South side of the building is lovely – nice view all around Pattaya till the Phratamnak hill.

Units range:  all units goes from developer as studios (without internal walls) and empty shell with area from 48 to 105 sqm.  Owners, who bought two or more units together, are able to combine it into one large apartment.

Prices for sale start from 2,7 mln Thai baht for 48 sqm studio (if you do not take into account units with “parking view”).   Price for rent a studio is about 20,000 Thai baht per month.

Whole building can be divide to North Side (views to Wongamat beach) and South Side (views to Pattaya beach). For both sides prices are different. Prices per sqm start from 137,500 Thai baht (units on the 1st floor) to 230,000 Thai baht (on highest 16 floor).

The cheapest unit can be purchased at a present time (june 2009) cost 12,6 mln Thai baht for 92 sqm one bedroom apartment on 2nd floor. The most expensive condo cost 130 mln Thai baht for duplex penthouse, with total area 565 sqm.

Siam Penthouse Condominium is high rise beachfront residental building located in North Pattaya, in the end of Soi 16 Naklua Rd. Very quiet location, about 800 meter from main road, but very close to the sea. The beach there is small, closed from both side with corals stones – so it can be cleaner then other part of Wongamat beach.

Condominium is about 30 years old.

The first two Siam Penthouse condos were built in Bangkok and they are the first condominiums in Thailand.

I was not inside the rooms, but ground floor looks totally ok, lounge area is fresh and clean, garden is well-groomed, swimming pool and other facilities are operating well.

The building has outstanding design (for 30 years old) with “steps floors” and majority of units have sea view, the best view is to the North. Views to the South can be closing by neighbor “Silver Beach Condominium” building.

Siam Penthouse III offering for the owners two tennis courts, table tennis, billiard room and gym.

There  is a possibility to get laundry and other services from reception desk, otherwise opposite the road there is another condominium with numbers of different services.

Units range:  there are studio units (about 32 sqm), two bedroom apartment (64-87 sqm) and larger apartment – about 115 sqm.

Studio can be rented out for 18,000 baht per month.

Rachatee condotel is 12 floor building with 205 units, located on Soi 25 Naklua Rd., North Pattaya. It`s about 50 meters far from main road and about 600 meter far from Wongamat Beach.

Main building is 11 years old, and was originally developed as Golden Pattaya Condominium. In 2003  Rachatee Group took over the condominium and made renovation to euro standard.

There are pleasant communal facilities, like big swimming pool, gym, SPA-salon, covered parking etc. Condotel is well manage and popular with rentals, so the owners can get about 8% annual return – that pretty good, especially for somebody who looking for a small investment.

Units range:  there are variety of units size from 25 sqm (studio unit)  to 96 sqm (two bedroom apartment).

The prices for studio start from 790,000 Thai Baht (for small studio with city view). Condos with sea view (a little bit sea view) can be get for 1,2 mln Thai Baht.

Prices for rent start 11,000 Thai Baht per month and I think it`s possible to find even cheaper for long term.

Summary – Rachatee Condotel is  valuable for small money condominium with convenience location and variety amenities.

The first two buildings (A and B) have only studio units, actually they are open-space units with large balcony. Ordinal units are 78 sqm and corner units – 90 and 116 sqm. The owners can build themselves as many bedrooms as they want, but it`s not so easy to create even one bright bedroom, because windows are located directly in front of the entrance of apartment. In this two buildings all condos facing outside from the pool, because they located from only one side of corridor. Apartments in A have view to the Soi 16/1 and apartments in B have view to the empty plot of land near by.

The prices are start from 3,3 mln Thai baht for 78 sqm apartment.. Sales in building B sales were not successful, so foreigner quota from developer are still available.

The designers improve layout for next two buildings C and D. First of all the layout of apartments has become more square (so more useful) and units are located on both sides of corridor, some of them have partly sea view. One bedroom condos with area from 68 to 82 sqm cost from 3,3 mln Thai baht and two bedroom apartments with area 82-123 sqm cost from 4 mln Thai baht.

All units in buildings D and C come from developer with fitted bathroom, build-in kitchen, tile floor and gypsum ceiling – all of materials are not the best quality. Within regular promotions, buyers can get aircon and water heater for free.

New low-rise condominium AD Condominium was finished in the end of 2008. Located on Soi 16/1 Naklua Rd., about 400 meters from the Wongamat beach. To be honest, location is not perfect – in the middle of small soi, about 500 far from main road where mini-mart and restaurants could be find.  The area around is not developed, so nobody can be sure what will be there in future. At the present time opposite main entrance of condo is located temporary houses for workers,there is huge construction of luxury hotel near by, but it should be finished by the end of 2009.
Developer AD Houses Co., Ltd – thai owned company, built cottages village and now doing the construction of high-rise AD Wongamat Condominium.

The quality of construction and finishing in AD Condominium can be called “middle”. All units from developer came with tile floor, painted walls and fitted bathroom. For gypsum ceiling with lights, developer charged extra payment.
Units range: studio 31-38 sqm (prices on pre-sale was about 800,000 Thai baht) – prices from 1,2 mln Thai baht (empty shell); one bedroom apartments – corner units 72-78 sqm -from 2,8 mln Thai baht.
Finished and fully furnishes and decorated apartments cost from 1,5 mln Thai baht for studio and from 4 mln Thai baht for
1-bedroom condo.
There are few amenities in the condo, like swimming pool, covered parking, few offices on the ground floor (maybe in future some offices will become a mini-mart or laundry), security guards (I have no idea how they are qualified) and two elevators.
