Apartments in Pattaya Under 5 Million Baht
With a budget of up to five million baht you have a wide choice in Pattaya. The listings below are all priced up to 5,000,000 baht: studios and one-bedroom condos in most districts, a growing number of two-bedroom apartments, and entry-level units in new developments on installment plans.
This is the range where the area makes the biggest difference. Jomtien and Pratumnak offer the most space for the money, Central Pattaya puts you in the middle of the city, and Wongamat and the newest towers cost noticeably more per square metre. Compare the price per square metre, not just the total, and check the age and facilities of the building.
Decide first whether you want a new build or a resale unit. A new build is sold on a developer installment plan, so you do not pay the full price at once, but it takes 2-3 years to complete. A resale apartment can be occupied or rented out immediately and is often 20-30% cheaper than a new build in the same area, but is normally paid in full up front.
Budget for the costs on top of the price: the registration fee at transfer (about 2% of the registered value), monthly maintenance fees (typically 1,750-2,500 baht for a 50 m² unit in a mid-range building), utilities and furnishing. Foreigners can own the apartment freehold under the building's foreign quota (up to 49% of the unit area), registered in their own name; we check the quota before you pay.
