Renting Appartment or House

[SneakySnake]

Hi Guys,

Bought my ticket to go back to Thailand to live for at least a year, last time i was in Phuket, now i think i'll go to Pattaya

Now i was looking at the real estate site's for condo's or houses in secured complexes and seems the price, on the internet at least, is pretty steep. i was told in Pattaya everything is cheaper then Patong
last time i stayed in Patong beach and there's lots of good places there for around 10K....

I am looking for a 1 bedroom Condo with kitchen and communal pool, gym, etc.
I'd like to be in Jomtien, should i just go there and then look around, or would you say the price is not that much different at the real estate offices?

any site you recommend?
