Condos

A furnished one bedroom or studio condo in a resort style building near Jomtien Beach currently starts around THB 10,000 a month. That normally includes the furniture, air conditioning, and use of the building's pool and gym. Electricity and water are almost always billed on top.

Short stays cost more per month than a long lease. A twelve month contract will usually be priced well below the same unit taken month to month.

Pool villas and houses

Private pool villas in and around Pattaya currently start near THB 45,000 a month for three or four bedrooms, and reach about THB 150,000 for a large luxury villa with extras like a movie room or a salt water pool. These are usually let unfurnished or part furnished on longer contracts.

What you pay on top of rent

Expect a security deposit of two months plus the first month in advance. Electricity is billed per unit and is the biggest variable, since air conditioning dominates the bill in hot season. Water is usually small. In a condo, the building's common area fee is normally the owner's responsibility on a long let, but confirm it in the contract.
