Introducing Dennis Martino

As mentioned earlier in the newsletter, Dennis Martino has recently joined the Coastal Real Estate team.

Dennis started his career in real estate in Los Angeles in 1989 and soon developed a reputation as the “Rock & Roll Realtor” often showing houses in Doc Martins and tight black pants, not the typical attire for a real estate agent at the time.

He soon developed a core group of clients consisting of movie producers, directors and other behind the scenes types of people in the film industry.

It was during this time that Dennis developed his approach to working with clients; providing a high-level of service and listening to their needs. According to Dennis “you work for them, you learn all you can about the property you are selling and then give them the best advice possible based on that knowledge.”

Dennis plans to use the same approach here in Pattaya. He takes some time every week to go out and look at properties, often going along with other agents in the office on viewings just so he can learn as much as possible about the Pattaya market.

Although the nuances of the real estate market here are different than in the US Dennis feels that the same approach of being knowledgeable, honest and service oriented will help him succeed here as he did in the U.S.

If you are looking for a property and would like to talk to Dennis or have him come out to see a property you have listed or want to list, please feel free to contact him at dennis@coastalrealestatepattaya.com or call him at +66(0)62-298-2939.

The condo is a spacious 141 square meters with a nice floor plan, large balconies and amazing views of the marina, city and islands.

Final Thoughts

We have talked about infrastructure improvements in Pattaya in past newsletters. We know they can cause a lot of frustration while in progress but in the end, they help make our city a better place to live.

Dongtan Beach is currently undergoing a renovation and while there is a lot of grumbling from some of the vendors and locals it will look much better when completed.

Our advice is to be patient and adopt the “mai pen rai” attitude of the Thais. In other words, “don’t worry it’s okay.”

As always, thank you for reading the newsletter and remember to contact me personally at kevin@coastalrealestatepattaya.com if there is anything I can do for you. Alternatively, stop by our office on Soi Diana next to Megabreak or at our new office in Welcome Town.

How the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) is Shaping Pattaya’s Property Future

Sep 04, 2025

Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) is transforming the eastern seaboard into one of the country’s most dynamic economic hubs, and Pattaya stands to benefit significantly. The EEC, a flagship government initiative, aims to boost infrastructure, industry, and investment in the provinces of Chonburi, Rayong, and Chachoengsao, creating new opportunities for businesses and property investors alike.Infrastructure Development Driving GrowthOne of the biggest factors shaping Pattaya’s property future is infrastructure. The EEC project includes major improvements in transportation, such as the high-speed rail connecting Bangkok to U-Tapao Airport, upgraded expressways, and enhanced ports and logistics facilities. These developments are making Pattaya more accessible for both domestic and international investors, increasing the attractiveness of the city for long-term property investment.Rising Demand for Residential and Commercial PropertiesAs the EEC attracts businesses and skilled professionals to the region, demand for quality housing is increasing. Luxury condos, modern villas, and gated communities in Pattaya are seeing rising interest from both Thai and foreign buyers who want convenient access to the city’s new economic opportunities. At the same time, commercial properties, from offices to retail spaces, are gaining value as companies expand their presence in the area.Boosting Pattaya’s Investment AppealThe EEC is creating a strong environment for property investment. With a growing population of expatriates, professionals, and business travelers, rental yields in Pattaya are expected to rise, especially for properties close to transportation hubs, business districts, and international schools. Long-term capital appreciation is also projected, as limited land availability in prime areas continues to drive demand.Lifestyle and Urban DevelopmentBeyond business, the EEC is contributing to Pattaya’s overall urban development. New leisure, shopping, and cultural facilities are emerging to cater to a growing population. Improved infrastructure not only supports commercial growth but also enhances the lifestyle and convenience for residents, making Pattaya an increasingly desirable location for families, retirees, and luxury property buyers.Strategic Location for the FutureInvestors looking for long-term growth are taking note of Pattaya’s strategic position within the EEC. Situated along the Gulf of Thailand and with easy access to Bangkok, Laem Chabang Port, and U-Tapao Airport, Pattaya offers both lifestyle and investment potential. As the EEC progresses, properties in well-connected neighborhoods and near key infrastructure are expected to see higher demand and better returns.ConclusionThe Eastern Economic Corridor is more than just a government project—it’s reshaping Pattaya’s real estate landscape. With improved infrastructure, increased business activity, and rising demand for quality housing, Pattaya is poised for sustained growth in both property values and rental opportunities. For investors and buyers seeking both lifestyle and financial returns, understanding the impact of the EEC is key to making smart decisions in Pattaya’s evolving property market.

Why Pratumnak Hill Remains a Top Choice for Luxury Buyers

Aug 14, 2025

When it comes to luxury living in Pattaya, few neighborhoods match the prestige, beauty, and exclusivity of Pratumnak Hill. This elevated enclave offers the perfect balance between city convenience and tranquil coastal living — a combination that continues to attract high-end buyers from around the world. Prime Location with Breathtaking ViewsPerched between Pattaya and Jomtien, Pratumnak Hill enjoys one of the most enviable positions on the Eastern Seaboard. Many condos in Pratumnak boast panoramic views of the Gulf of Thailand, stunning sunsets, and the sparkling city skyline. The hill’s elevation not only provides a cooler breeze but also creates a sense of privacy and separation from the busier districts below.Exclusive Property OptionsPratumnak is home to some of the city’s most sought-after residences — from ultra-modern villas with infinity pools to high-rise condominiums with 5-star facilities. Land plots are rare and highly valued, making existing luxury homes especially desirable. Whether buyers are looking for a lavish holiday retreat or a permanent residence, Pratumnak offers properties that meet the highest standards of design and comfort.A Peaceful Yet Connected LifestyleOne of Pratumnak Hill’s greatest strengths is its balance of tranquility and accessibility. Residents can enjoy peaceful, low-traffic streets and lush greenery, yet still be just minutes away from Pattaya’s vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment options. The beaches here are quieter than those in central Pattaya, offering a more relaxed seaside experience.Proximity to Top AmenitiesLuxury buyers appreciate convenience, and Pratumnak delivers. The area is close to international restaurants, boutique cafes, golf courses, marinas, and high-end shopping malls. Quality healthcare is also nearby, with leading hospitals just a short drive away. For families, international schools in Pattaya and surrounding areas are within easy reach.Strong Investment PotentialWhile lifestyle is a major draw, Pratumnak Hill also offers compelling investment opportunities. Limited land availability and high demand from both Thai and foreign buyers help support long-term value appreciation. Rental demand, particularly for short-term stays in high-end villas and condos, remains strong due to the area’s reputation and prime location.The Allure ContinuesIn a market that is always evolving, Pratumnak Hill continues to hold its place as Pattaya’s most prestigious address. Its combination of scenic beauty, exclusive properties, convenient location, and investment stability ensures it remains a top choice for discerning buyers who want the very best the city has to offer.
