Cars are the most stupid way to <deleted> away money, except classics/muscle cars/oldtimers of course. Ill never get people who waste money on cars, except the ones who use them for their work...

Not here out of financial necessity, but why does that matter. I own my own place in Aus. I have built a house in a village in Issaan and visit there often. Some ppl are happy in a 20 sq mtr condo. Others are unhappy in a 100 sq mtr condo. Others still, need a house. Does not matter why I live here, it works for me. I travel for 6 months of the year. When last did you visit Nirun? When did you live here and in which block? It sounds like it has changed a lot since you were last here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like it has changed a lot since you were last here. because its easier to tolerate living in a place like nirun when you know you have two houses as back up that you can run to. sounds like its more of a crash pad for you then a permanent residence.

Under million i guess really small rooms I rented here a few years ago, normal rent was around 7000 baht for 40 sqm studios with balcony. And western kitchen . If any of them are for sale I doubt they go for under 1 million, probably more like 1 to 2 mill. You can also find larger units up to 70 sqm , not sure how much they go for.

Nirun is definitely on the skids. Several friends have just locked up and not coming back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore the idiotic advice off offering 50% off. They wouldn't have a clue as renters what the reality is. Try walking into 10 real estate offices and offer 50% and you will be marched out 10 out of 10 Is the property what your really want and is it in your budget and not overpriced? If so then what you have is a FAIR deal . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joni08 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Near Ban Phe (Rayong) at Mae Ramphueng Beach have 5 to 10 condos for less than 1.000.000 .. Few for less than 700k. At Victory View Condominium (check google maps) you can find a 20 year old condo, 80 meters from the beach, 40sqm full renovated with 2 aircon for 550k baht. At the same building you can find few others 30-32sqm around 400-700k baht. Check all the condos around these area, some look much better than pattaya. However no nightlife and beach quite ok. sweedish and russian communities around Victory View Rayong Condochain And few others that i dont remember the name. Some need big renovation.
