After living in Bangkok for 5 months I have decided to give Pattaya a try for atleast 3 months - maybe longer. I've done some research and it looks like for a good sized, well equipped studio, I would be looking at around 10-14k baht near Pattaya beach. Does this sound about right, or can they be found cheaper through agencies/landlords when I arrive there?
Given the activity of this board, am I right to assume there is a big expat crowd there? Where do you guys live, and which location do you recommend? My only requirements are to be within around 1km of the beach, and the same distance to a gym.
Any advice would be appreciated.
edit: Sorry, I realised there's a separate expat forum for topics like this.
