Sep 20, 2016

  .page-content a{ color: orange !important; } This week we would like to provide you with some construction updates from projects around the Pattaya area.   The first project we would like to update you on is Aurora Pratumnak.   Aurora Pratumnak is an 8-storey project very close to the beach in Pratumnak.   It has an expected completion date of August 8 2017.   Things are moving along quite well and the Skyline Construction Company Limited and SGS (Thailand) Company Limited are working together to ensure the project moves along on schedule.   The image below is from their most recent update to agents around Pattaya and things are looking good.         Whale Marina   The Whale Marina project is moving along at a really good pace. Alex is kind enough to send us regular updates and as of this writing the construction of the fourth floor is underway and Building C has just been opened for sales.         Whale Marina will be a resort style condo development consisting of 3, 8-storey buildings with a total of 364 units. There are 27 unit styles to choose from. The vast majority of the units will have sea views.   The first floor of the buildings will offer parking and the many Whale Marina facilities including the private boat marina. Other facilities at Whale Marina will include a water sport club, fitness center, 3 communal pools, a restaurant and coffee shop, security a rooftop garden and more.     The Point Pratumnak   The Point Pratumnak is new development in Pratumnak between Pattaya and Jomtien It will be a 15-storey mid-rise building of 119 units the smallest being a 22 square meter studio with the majority of the units offering sea views.   Currently they have completed the 5th floor and are working on the next floor.

Client's Experience for The Rental Condo in Jomtien

Aug 15, 2017

  .page-content a{ color: orange !important; }   This week I would like to talk about an experience a client had while looking for a condo for rent in Jomtien.   I think this is a fairly typical experience and I think anyone who has property to rent in Pattaya be it a house or condo can learn from. It certainly des not apply to all of the property owners out there in the rental business but sadly I think these types of experiences happen a lot.   First a bit of background; the prospective tenant and his girlfriend were looking for a long term lease on condo in the Jomtien area priced from 25 to 35,000 Baht with a size of 70 square meters or larger with one or two bedrooms. A high floor with a view would be nice but was not a requirement.    Now I know what you are thinking, but yes there are condo out there like that, especially in some of the buildings built before the developers in Pattaya thought everyone was comfortable living in a 27 square meter (or smaller) one bedroom condo.   They started by looking at our site and those of some of the other well-known agents in Pattaya and perusing the ads on Baht & Sold then made a list of the properties they wanted to view.   As an aside here, they told us that several times they contact advertisers on Baht & Sold they were told the properties had been rented and then found the same properties relisted at the same price a week later. Clearly a bait and switch tactic that no agency in town should be doing but unfortunately it happens.   Once they had the list of what they wanted to see they started looking at the condos to decide which one to take. They looked at some with us and some with other agents and this is where I want to make my point of this article. Most of them were in bad shape.   I am not talking about falling apart and unlivable, although one did have water coming in from the recent rain, they were just dated and there were things clearly in need or repair or replacement.     Repair and Replace Instead of Reducing   My point is, if your house or condo is empty and has been so for a while maybe it is time to spruce it up a bit instead of reducing the rent to try and attract a tenant. I am not talking about a complete renovation but a fresh coat of paint can go a long way.   Take some time and walk through the unit as if you were a prospective tenant and ask yourself if you would want to live there. Are the appliances old and outdated? Is the television as deep as it is wide? If you are answering yes to these questions maybe it is time you invested some money into making your place more appealing.   There are a lot of condos and houses for rent in the Pattaya area and the competition for tenants is stiff making your place look its best can help put you ahead of the competition.   Invest some money in the unit and it will more than pay for itself with happy, long-term tenants.   Clean the curtains and replace blinds that don’t work, service the air conditioners and test the appliances to be sure they work. Doing this ahead of time makes the place look better and will help avoid calls from the tenant letting you know that something does not work after they have moved in.   If your house or condo looks like it has not been well maintained it will not instill confidence in a tenants mind that you will fix something if it goes wrong.     Satisfied Tenant and Owner   Our client ended up taking a 100+ square meter, one bedroom condo at one of the View Talay Residence buildings in Jomtien.   They asked the owner to put in a washing machine and service the air conditioners, which they agreed to do and the deal was finished. The owner even installed a new ceramic cooktop after the second week because the older one took a long time to heat up. Again, everyone is happy, the current tenant has a new cooktop and the unit will be more appealing to the next prospective tenant when and if the current one leaves.     Conclusion   We know there are a lot of owners out there who don’t want to put any money into repairs or maintaining their house or condo, especially if it has been empty for a while, but it can be well worth the expense to make it more appealing.   So do yourself and your future tenants a favor and update your property if it needs it.   It is money well spent.

Whale Marina Update

Aug 15, 2017

Whale Marina Update  There has been a great deal of progress on the Whale Marina condo project in Na Jomtien.The piling for building A was finished on April 11th. Just in time to give everyone a break for Songkran.The progress on Whale Marina will be even faster as the developer has finished construction on Natureza Art and Private Paradise. A workers village is being constructed at the site and things should be moving along quite quickly.A powerful, new generator was installed at the site to supply electricity to the worker's village and to the construction site for power tools and the electric crane. The foundation piles for the crane are in the ground at this time.  The sea wall construction around the perimeter of the site continues and is now 90% completed. The foundation part of construction usually is the slowest and most time consuming part of the project.Overall, the construction progress is going as planned and now that the electricity is connected to the site, work is going to pick up speed.  Whale Marina sales have been brisk and here is a breakdown of the percentage sold in each building.Building A - 103 out of 147 units sold - 70%Building B - 52 out of 126 units sold - 41%Building C - 0 out of 92 units sold - NOT OPEN FOR SALE YETThere are still plenty of great units available and many have sea and pool views.In case you are not familiar with the project Whale Marina is a new condo project in Na Jomtien. The project was launched in 2015 amid much fanfare and progress has continued at a steady pace. Whale Marina has already garnered EIA approval and the project has been authorised by the Thai Marina Department.Whale Marina will be a resort style condo development consisting of 3, 8-storey buildings with a total of 364 units. There are 27 unit styles to choose from. The vast majority of the units will have sea views.The first floor of the buildings will offer parking and the Whale Marina facilities including the private boat marina. Other facilities at Whale Marina will include a water sport club, fitness center, 3 communal pools, a restaurant and coffee shop, security a rooftop garden and more.The Water Sports Club at Whale Marina is designed to offer a choice of water sport activities to its residents by trained and certified professionals. Residents who enjoy water sports, will be able to go deep-sea fishing, diving, jet skiing, water skiing and a myriad of other activities. Trips to nearby islands will also be offered from the private marina.  Whale Marina will share the canal in the Tonhaad Lagoon with other marine themed residences such as View Talay Marina and the Jomtien Yacht Club.To accommodate the larger boats expected at the Whale Marina the Pattaya City Municipality and the Thai Marine Department have been dredging in the lagoon.The developers of Whale Marina chose its location based on several factors including the position it will command on the canal, the project’s proximity to the beach, accessibility of Sukhumvit and other main traffic arteries, restaurants, shopping and entertainment were all very important considerations.The project is also close to many of the tourist attractions in the Pattaya and Jomtien area such as Nong Nooch Gardens, Cartoon Network Water Park, the Pattaya Floating Market, Underwater World Pattaya and the Phoenix Gold Golf Club.  Whale Marina is in close proximity to many fine restaurants such as The Glass House and the Bacco Beach Italian Restaurant, which are only a few hundred meters from the development, in addition to many other smaller, casual restaurants in the area.There are a total of 27 different floor plans available in Whale Marina. The developer is confident that offering many different plans will help the units retain their value and will not compete with a large number of same type units in the same building. This is an exciting change from the usual three floor plans for 800 units in some of the more recent projects in the area.The developer also prides itself on the quality of construction and interior finish of their previous projects and the Whale Marina will be no exception. Each unit will be beautifully crafted with high quality materials and finish.  Unit sizes will start at 29.13 square meters (Building B) and continue up with the largest units being offered in Building A. For a complete list of the available units, pricing and floor plans please contact one of the Coastal Real Estate sales staff.All of the units in Whale Marina come fully furnished including electronics, wallpaper & curtains.There is also an excellent payment plan available with the final payment on receipt of the Chanote, which is expected, in the second quarter of 2018. The time to act is now however as a lot of units have been sold already.If you would like to learn more about Whale Marina please feel free to contact us. Or better yet, stop by our office and meet our staff.

Helpful pattaya info

Apr 27, 2016

  Instead of writing about Pattaya real estate this week we are going to try to provide some helpful information to those who may be new to Pattaya as well as those of you who have lived n the area for a while.Sometimes finding phone numbers or other contact information for businesses and government agencies in Pattaya can be difficult. Many of the websites about Pattaya have not been updated for a while and the information is no longer current. Other times just when you think you have found what you are looking for from Google the link turns out to be a forum where someone asked about the same information three years ago. With that said, we will try to provide some useful information for Pattaya residents and tourists alike. Lets start with some important emergency information, but hopefully you will never have to use it.Pattaya PolicePhoto pattayatoday.netThe Pattaya City Police station is located on Soi 9, Pattaya Beach Road (next to Central Festival). If you have ever gotten a ticket in Pattaya there is a good chance you have been here.Their phone numbers are: 038 424-186, 420-802-5 and 082-799-9111. You can also use the Thailand Police Emergency Hotline: That number is 191.The Pattaya Tourist Police have a station located at the bottom of Pratumnak Hill just south of the overpass on Pratumnak Road.The Tourist Police can be very helpful as they have volunteers from many different countries and speak a lot of languages.They can be reached at 038 414 669, 038 425 937 and 038 429 371. They also have a hotline number, which is 1155. Other helpful police information:Pattaya Highway Police Telephone: 038 425 440Thai Highway Police Emergency Hotline: 1193There is also a large police station in Banglamung and their numbers are 038 221 800 and 038 221 801.It is a good idea to stop by the local police station where you live and pick up their number. You never know when you might need it and having it at hand can be a lifesaver in case of an emergency.There are many small police substations in places like Huay Yai, Jomtien, East Pattaya and other parts of Pattaya so be sure to look for the one that is closest to you.Ambulance Services                                 Photo: Pattaya Memorial HospitalHopefully you will never have to use any of these numbers and honestly if your condition is not too life threatening it might be faster to have someone drive you to a hospital close by as we all know the traffic here does not seem to get out of the way for emergency vehicles. Sawang Boriboon Volunteer Ambulance Service Telephone: 038-488-882Pattaya International Hospital. Telephone: 038 428 374-5Pattaya Memorial Hospital. Telephone: 038 488 777Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. Telephone: 038-259-999. Emergency 1719 You can also of course call the police emergency number 191 or call the Emergency Medical Institute of Thailand hotline number 1669 but you will need to have someone who speaks Thai with you.As with the police it is a good idea to know where the closest hospital or clinic is. You never know when you might have an accident at home or need some emergency medical assistance; valuable time can be lost by trying to find the closest hospital.This can be especially important if your house or condo is in East Pattaya, Huay Yai or other of the more rural areas outside Central Pattaya. Other Emergency ServicesOther important emergency service numbers are:Pattaya Fire Brigade: telephone 038 425 943 or the Hotline number 199.Pattaya Sea Rescue: 038 488 134Please take some time to enter some of these emergency numbers into your phone even if you are here on holiday. You never know when you are going to need them.We hope you find these numbers helpful and again, we hope you never have to use them.At Coastal Real Estate we feel that we are a part of the Pattaya community and not just another agency selling real estate and we are happy to be able to provide you with these numbers.Remember; if you are looking for some advice on buying or selling a house or condo in Pattaya please feel free to contact us. Or better yet, stop by our office and meet our staff. We are always here to help.Coastal Real Estate216/62 Moo 10 (Soi 13) Soi DianaNongprue Banglamung ChonburiPattaya City, 20150Tel./Fax.+66/(0)38 421 580+66 (0) 38-421-580 Office+66 081-269-0742 MobileKevin Mattson (Managing Director)-English  +66 086-571-4737 Mobile
