When you stay for longer than 1 month in Thailand then perhaps a Pattaya apartment or condos is the right thing for you since you can feel more at home and get more space at a cheaper price. Pattaya apartments can be found in many sizes, qualities and locations depending upon your desires. You can both get private as well as Pattaya serviced apartments where a cleaning lady will come several times a week to clean the serviced apartment.
A Pattaya serviced condo is usually more up-scale than a serviced apartment is but sometimes it is all in the name so you need to see it first. Also, a serviced apartment usually charges double up for electricity than a normal private apartment.
The difference usually is that you pay about 3 baht per kilowatt electricity for a private apartment while for a serviced condo in Pattaya you pay about 7 baht per kilowatt. You should expect to spend about 2.000 baht on electricity per month for a 1 room apartment and perhaps 3.000 baht if it has 2 rooms.
This amount may be a little higher or lower depending upon how much hot water you use and if you cook a lot for very long periods of time. For a serviced apartment you should expect these numbers to be twice as high.
If you want the cleaning lady to clean your clothes then this can often be arranged for a separate fee including ironing.
Usually, apartments are fully furnished with all furniture you could need like TV, bed and more.
You can also rent a house in Pattaya, town house or mansion apartment if desired. Prices range from 5,000 baht/month up to 100,000 baht per month depending upon your desires. Pattaya houses for rent can be found for as little as 10,000 baht a month and up depending upon location, size and quality.
