bkk6060 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Unixx is a huge ST hotel stay spot for Chinese and Indians. 100's everyday. If that does not bother you, then go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need good internet In the past, to have your own fast internet generally you need a one year contract and it requires the owner's permission to have it.

E020 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Thanks guys for all your information. I am going to rent for one month. Has anybody experience with the View Cosy Beach ? How is the transportation to there? Are there enough things to do around? I will rent for 1 month first so I can check around other places for after that month for a more long term deal.

fhickson Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 pratumnak is nice and the condos are nice with a good price, the problem is that there are not a lot of different food options for a long term stay. your also walking all the time to the main road to get at anything if your not renting transpo. im all about renting closer to the main area for longer term stays, if going out on the town is your thing and you do t want to just hole up somewhere. forget wired internet in thailand, its all about wifi and mobile data.

Thank you so much for this information. I will defenitely rent a motorbike, but its good to see that you confirm this. Where do you personally recommend to have a laid back vibe, away from the crazyness in central, but close to central? I personally think about Unixx, Cosy(purely because of the view...) or Jomtien. Thing is I have never been to Jomtien. Thats why I will rent a condo for one month, explore the area, and make a decision after this month. I think I will be staying mostly in Pattaya in the beginning. Ive never been there longer then a few days, so theres a lot to explore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at other options like Tara Court, Axis, Treetops. Good hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E020 Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Thanks guys. Found a great deal at airbnb for the first month.

Its unixxx for the first month I will have money on it you won't stay there a second month unless you like sitting on the sofa in a box in the sky and being able to touch the walls around you. You speak Chinese? You will be fluent by the time you leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shdmn Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I don't know any Farangs who like to stay in Unixx. Anyone I know on that side of Walking street is usually up on Pratamnuk hill or in Jomtien in one of the ViewTalay condos. You pretty much need a bike or car on Pratmnuk hill but can easily just use Baht buses if staying in ViewTalay condos in Jomtien. I think there are lots of Russians staying in Unixx and it is close to walking street but that's about the only good thing about it as far as I can tell. You are not going to be spending all your time on Walking Street, especially during the day and it's a ways from any decent beaches and variety of restaurants/grocery stores from there. Wouldn't be my first choice but up to you. For me, I would prefer to be in "Center Condo" or "The Base" or in those general areas if I wanted to be close to walking street and the beach as well as easy walking distance to daytime places like the malls and restaurants and next to baht bus routes. The ultimate convenience would probably be ViewTalay 6 right next to Center Festival mall and the beach and about a 15 minute walk to walking street but that's probably going to be above your budget. I need good internet too. That's not really a problem anymore with 4G mobile data which has good coverage and signal all over Pattaya now. So as long as you can get good 4G signal in your room that is a good option or backup if the room wifi is not so great or not so realiable for whatever reason.

fhickson Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 if you want to go low rent but still be farang friendly theres nirun condos which is pretty close to the action. monthly starts at 5k-10k. not the same scene as unixx or view talay though. theres also maxx city and maxx central, newer but in a low rent area, starts around 13-15k. go where your comfortable, not just based on price alone.

Henryford Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 You have to be pretty desperate to even consider Nirun. Something like VT1 or VT2 near Jomtien is so much better for a little more cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
