Pilotman Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Are there many rental properties around ( but not in) Pattaya, out to about Ban Chang area, say 40km, so a large area? A friend is looking for a 2/3 bed house (not town house) with a reasonably sized garden for a small dog or two. for a long rental period, 12 months plus. Rents seems soft at the moment, but I have no real knowledge of the market to pass on. Any info appreciated, by PM, or on the forum page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Better to put an ad on Facebook Marketplace, you'll get loads of responses, need to specify a price 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condo rents are certainly down, 50% down is not uncommon, I can only presume that carries over to houses. I think the further away from pattaya etc, there will be less of an impact from no tourists. A lot of property around pattaya in this Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/PattayaCondosForSaleOrRent People also post requests in the group Edited December 5, 2020 by Peterw42 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to consider an account, for things like real estate it is most of the marketplace nowadays. Agents dont have webbsites anymore, they have a FB page, they dont advertise/list in traditional media, they list on FB. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just do a search on Ban Chang properties, several agencies come up with various options. To add I just searched BC properties for rent. Many listed in 20,000 b range or under. I will PM you the website. Edited December 5, 2020 by bkk6060 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one bad experience, a FB account, then I was stalked by an ex through a FB friend of a friend. I changed the account and she eventually found it through someone else and it all kicked off again. It took a change of phone number, e mail address, dropping FB and a move to Thailand to solve the problem. Never again. The security settings and firewalls are by no means infallible.

I gave up on FB for pretty much the same reason. Twice. The first time, an otherwise innocent picture of me in Hilary bar in Soi 4 was seen by the 'wrong people' so I bailed.

There are so many positives that a reputable agency can provide before, during, and after the process. Many stories on here how dealing directly with the owner ended up badly. Not returning deposits, lack of repairs, lack of transparency of immediate or surrounding issues, noise, construction, garbage dumps. not filing with immigration, contract issues, language issues, on and on. The agents usually have a reputation to uphold the sellers or renters could care less. Not to mention the potential for fraud. But, up to the individual. Maybe some believe they can get a better deal. I personally have always used an agent and never had any problems with issues I have mentioned or anything else they have always been an excellent conduit.

chilly07 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Just go round the moo bahns and ring the contact nos displayed on the houses. Cut out agents and you will get a better deal.

Popular Post Stevemercer Posted December 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2020 Unfortunately any property advertised on the internet, in English, and by a reputable agency, is likely to be asking farang prices. The best deals always seem to be Thai 'word of mouth'. But lacking such contacts, driving around may show some rental signs or similar contacts in the are of interest. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
