Pattaya is one of the most popular resorts in Thailand. This resort town is perfect for tourists from Russia, there are many places where the staff speak Russian. Renting a villa in Pattaya is not so difficult, as there are many proposals for every taste and budget.
Peculiarities of renting villas in Pattaya
Villa in Pattaya is a luxury home located in a separate fenced area. Typically, a villa has a pool, and in itself there are several bedrooms and bathrooms. It often happens that a small garden is laid out near the villa.
The rental price often includes additional services, such as security, house and territory cleaning, parking and the Internet. There are things that you have to pay for separately. As a rule, these are electricity, water and telephone, but sometimes other services are included in this list. Please be aware that the villa needs maintenance. So, the pool needs to be cleaned, and the garden needs to be looked after. It is better to find out in advance which of these you will have to pay. All of these points are best clarified before you start negotiating a lease.
Owners prefer villas to be rented for a period of 6 months or more, although shorter duration options are possible. If you rent a house for a year or more at once, then you can safely count on a good discount. It happens that a deposit in the amount of two months payment of the villa is taken from the tenant in order to guarantee the safety of the property.
Ways to find a villa
To rent a villa, you first need to find it. This can be done in several ways. If you are going to come to Pattaya for just a few months and you have no time to look for a house on your own, and you value, above all, excellent rest and your own time, then it is recommended to find a realtor via the Internet in advance. There is a whole industry of Russian speaking realtors who offer the highest class housing in Pattaya. You just need to study their catalog, choose the house that interests you, and conclude an agreement on the spot. All that remains is to enjoy your vacation. The disadvantage of this method is that you have to pay a commission to the realtor, and this, as a rule, is the cost of one month of rent.
The following method can also be used in advance, but you need to know at least English. The owners of villas in Pattaya noticed that a considerable number of island guests dream of renting their houses and agreeing on this in advance, but do not know how to find them. Therefore, there are many sites on the Internet where the owners of the villas place ads themselves. You need to find a suitable house, contact the owner, evaluate his villa from photographs and agree on the terms of rent. This path is more difficult, but cheaper. You should not be afraid that the Thais will "throw" you with the villa, since for them such a business is an important source of income, and they themselves take it very seriously. However, all voiced conditions should be checked already in place.
The next path is ideal for those who have decided to live in Thailand for a long time, so they have time to leisurely search for the ideal villa option for themselves already in place. Upon arrival on the island, check into a hotel, then take a taxi or some kind of transport for rent and go to your chosen area on your own search. You will see that some of the villas are adorned with signs with telephone numbers. This means they give up. You need to call these numbers and communicate directly with the landlord, who, with luck, speaks English. Sometimes the services of an interpreter can come in handy. It is this method, according to the reviews of vacationers, that allows you to find the best option for the price.
