coming from someone who lived in Pattaya for 7 years take this anyway you like....I have owned property there both condos in my name and houses and land in a company, now back in the U.K and have to say I am so relieved to be rid of my assets there for these reasons.
1, it is over run by older northern english folk all with orangutan looking women
2, the government and thai people in general are extremely xenephobic
3, if ever faced with either a dispute or accusation from a local or expat who is involved with the police you are wrong or guilty
4, the government only want high spending tourists/retirees
5, the place is saturated with property both off plan and re-sale
I could go on but these are some of the reasons not to buy there....
If you are really looking to live there, rent for 6 months first and see if you like it as it is great for holidays but a completely different thing when living there full time!
cheers
