About Pattaya

Pattaya is a popular beach resort on the Gulf of Thailand, just 150 km southeast of Bangkok –a mere two-hour drive. Pattaya’s pulsating nightlife is well known, but local authorities have, in recent years, improved the quality of the beaches and reinvented the resort as a more family-friendly destination.

Today, hundreds of thousands of visitors are drawn each year to Pattaya to windsurf, water ski, swim, sunbathe, snorkel, sail, or take trips to nearby islands. Other activities include Bungee jumping, cycling, skydiving, go-Karting, Muay Thai (Thai boxing), and Paintball. Golfers, both novice and expert, are well catered to as well, with a wide selection of golf courses around Pattaya. Another major draw for visitors to Pattaya is the wide selection of restaurants serving some of Thailand’s freshest seafood. Due to the high number of expatriate foreigners in Pattaya, there is also an excellent selection of authentic foreign eateries serving French, Italian, Swiss, German, Hungarian, Scandinavian, English, Indian, Arabic, Japanese, and Chinese cuisine.

Khao Chee Chan Buddha Mountain opens 06:00 – 18:00 hrs. Dress modestly and please follow exactly as the rules state. Plus, you shouldn’t get too close to the Buddha because it may cause an accident.

If you want to visit Koh Lan, you can do it on a one-day trip. On the island, there are minibuses and motorbike taxis in services. But if you are feeling adventurous, you can rent a motorbike to ride for yourself.

During the night time, all the way down Pattaya road is full of various entertainment options. Here you can always find something to eat, drink, and just somewhere to chill out.

The website design looks great—clean, user-friendly, and visually appealing! It definitely has the potential to attract more visitors. Maybe adding even more engaging content (like interactive posts, videos, or expert insights) could take it to the next level. Keep up the good work!

The data on condo purchases by foreigners in Thailand is quite fascinating, especially the breakdown by nationality and price segments. It’s interesting to see that Chinese buyers dominate the market, accounting for nearly 40% of foreign purchases. The preference for second-hand condos also raises questions about the motivations behind these investments—are they for personal use, rental income, or resale? Bangkok and Chonburi being the top locations makes sense, given their appeal to expats and tourists, but I’m curious about the relatively low numbers in Chiang Mai. The average purchase size and value by nationality also reveal some intriguing patterns, like Indian buyers opting for larger and more expensive units. What do you think drives these specific preferences among different nationalities?

It’s fascinating to see such detailed statistics on condo purchases in Thailand. The fact that foreigners account for 13.5% of units but nearly 25% of the purchase value shows they’re investing in higher-value properties. I’m curious why Bangkok dominates so heavily in purchase value compared to other provinces—does it indicate better infrastructure or just a preference for urban living? Also, why are second-hand condos so popular among foreigners? Is it affordability, specific locations, or something else? The data on nationalities is intriguing too, especially the high numbers from China and Myanmar. What do you think drives this trend? Lastly, do you believe this foreign investment benefits the local economy, or could it lead to challenges like rising property prices? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Interesting data on condo purchases in Thailand! It’s fascinating to see that foreigners account for 13.5% of units but 24.37% of the purchase value, suggesting they’re buying higher-end properties. Bangkok and Chonburi dominate the market, which isn’t surprising given their popularity. The fact that 44% of foreign purchases are second-hand condos is also noteworthy—does this indicate a preference for established properties? I’m curious why the purchase value by foreigners decreased by 1.5% despite the increase in units bought. Also, why do Indian buyers spend the most on average? Would love to hear more about the factors driving these trends!

It’s interesting to see how the condo market in Thailand is evolving with such a significant foreign influence. I’m surprised that foreigners account for 24.37% of the purchase value despite buying fewer units—does this mean they’re investing in higher-value properties? The fact that Bangkok dominates both in terms of units and value isn’t shocking, but Chonburi’s 36% share is notable. Also, the data on second-hand condos being 44% of foreign purchases makes me wonder if these are primarily for personal use or investment. The nationalities breakdown is fascinating, especially China’s dominance at 39.7%. What do you think drives such a high percentage of Chinese buyers? Is it purely investment, or are there other factors at play?

The data on condo purchases by foreigners in Thailand is quite fascinating. It’s interesting to see that while foreigners account for only 13.5% of the total units purchased, their purchase value makes up nearly 24.37% of the total. This suggests that foreigners are buying more expensive properties compared to locals. The fact that 44% of these purchases are second-hand condos also raises questions about the preferences and motivations of foreign buyers. Why do you think Bangkok and Chonburi are the most popular provinces for these purchases? Additionally, the dominance of Chinese buyers at 39.7% is striking—do you think this trend will continue or shift in the coming years? It would be great to hear your thoughts on how this impacts the local real estate market and economy.

It’s interesting to see the detailed breakdown of condo purchases by foreigners and Thais in Thailand. I’m curious why foreigners account for a higher percentage of the purchase value (24.37%) compared to the number of units (13.5%). Does this mean foreigners are buying more expensive properties? Also, it’s noteworthy that 44% of the condos bought by foreigners are second-hand—what’s driving this preference? Bangkok and Chonburi seem to dominate in terms of location, but I wonder what makes Phuket and Chiang Mai less popular? The data on nationalities is fascinating too, with China leading by a huge margin. Do you think this trend will continue, or are there factors that might shift it? Overall, this gives a clear picture of Thailand’s real estate dynamics, but I’d love to know more about the long-term implications.

The data on condo purchases by foreigners and Thais is quite revealing.

This suggests that foreigners are buying more expensive units compared to Thai buyers. The fact that 44% of foreign purchases are second-hand condos also adds another layer to the market dynamics, possibly indicating a preference for established properties over new developments. Bangkok and Chonburi dominate as the preferred locations, which isn’t surprising given their popularity and infrastructure. The segmentation by nationality and purchase value provides insights into the different investment behaviors across countries. How do you think the Thai government could further attract foreign investment in the condo market without compromising affordability for locals?

It’s interesting to see how foreigners are increasingly investing in condos in Thailand, especially in cities like Bangkok and Pattaya. The fact that 44% of the condos bought by foreigners are second-hand units is quite surprising—does this indicate a preference for established properties? I also noticed that Chinese buyers dominate the market, but why is there such a significant difference in the average purchase value and size across nationalities? For example, Indian buyers seem to invest in larger properties compared to others. Do you think this trend will continue, or will we see a shift in the coming years? It’s fascinating how the real estate market reflects broader economic and cultural dynamics. What’s your take on the potential impact of these foreign investments on local housing affordability?
