Intro

Hello all

I’m Lou & a newbie to the forum but have been to LOS a “few” times, 1st time in ’70, R&R from Nam. Stationed on Okinawa for many years so took military hops nearly once a month either to LOS or PI. Bought a Condo in Pattaya while on deployment to Utapao in ’91. Since retiring from the USMC in ’99, I usually spend a month or two during Feb-Apr in Pattaya. Just always been pretty much a loner. Mainly spending time in Muay Thai & the ladies. Too old and decrepit now for kickboxing so looking for other avenues to pursue. Been thinking of renting or selling the Condo because I just don’t use it as much as I thought I would. Anyway, I’m looking for all the new scoop because Pattaya has been rapidly changing more and more each year now. It’s still a great one of a kind place and even though I miss the good old days, I still get that adrenalin rush as I get off the plane and the thick Thai air just smacks my senses.

Depends where you bought & the size. There was one out on the highway that was the cheapest around $15-20k but the Baht rate was much different back then. N Pattaya & Jamtien were the most expensive. I still have some of the original sales brochures on several that I looked at, but will have to look up the exact prices. I bought mine at Center Condo while it was being built, 1 bed/1bath cost around $30K (I'd have to look up the exact amt). I had to put down a certain percent and then had to pay the rest off in 2 years which was interest free but I couldn't use or even enter my unit till it was completely paid for. I was fortunate in that since I was instructing Thai Marines, I had my own Thai Marine interpreter. He came out to town and read all the paperwork so I knew everything was on the up & up.

Interesting.. nice enough prices, I was curious how it would have been before the baht devaluation..

I am not really up on Pattaya values.. I get the impression that becuase of volume theres better deals there than here..

You must have seen some pretty intense change of that period.. My 5 years have seen a lot so 15 must have been loads.. Love to hear your perspectives.. Also any older pics that show the pace of chage tend to be well liked on here..
