In today's video, we're gonna head from Bangkok down here to Pattaya
Beach Thailand and I'm gonna give you a tour of my new Pattaya condo! So let's go!
What is going on YouTube! Greetings from Bangkok Thailand! It is the 31st of August. Tomorrow,
September 1st the full lockdown ends here in Bangkok and things can start opening back up the
malls open up restaurants open up for dining in the massage parlors open up for feet massages foot
massages but like always my timing usually sucks and this is no different i'm actually jumping into
a cab in another hour or two and headed down to Pattaya beach so it's a little bittersweet i'm
not gonna be in Bangkok for the reopening but it is what it is so let's go back to the hotel get
packed up and head to Pattaya and i'll show you my new condo when i get down there all right so my 27
days here in the hilton has come to an end it's been great it's been nice having made service but
i'm ready to be in a normal condo to be completely honest with you Bangkok has also been great even
though it's been locked down the whole time i've been here i've been able to go out and get fresh
fruits order some amazing Thai food i went into chinatown got some street food with icy if you
haven't watched that video i'll link it somewhere up here make sure you go watch that and subscribe
to her channel we're trying to help her get to 10 000 subscribers by the end of the year
all right so while i'm packing up i'll tell you why i'm going down to Pattaya Beach Thailand so
actually one of the biggest reasons i'm going down to Pattaya beach Thailand is i have retired life
problems i have sandals he wanted me to pick up he's another retired military guy he did i think
22 years in the air force but when he saw it was in hawaii he's like hey there's this specific type
of sandal i like that i know you can get on base there so can you pick them up for me and i said
you know what sure if you haven't watched his channel retired life problems make sure you go
check it out but that's one of the reasons i'm going to patio but to be honest with you it's
not i was going to [ __ ] anyway so i've mentioned that i've been coming to thailand since 1998 and
on my first trip the second place i went to was patia beach and then in the u.s military i came
back to patia many many many many many many many times on navy ships probably i don't know if i
had to guess at least somewhere between 20 and 30 times maybe a little bit more anyway it has this
reputation of being kind of like the sin city of thailand it's kind of like the vegas of thailand
for me it's kind of a lot of nostalgia going there i just have memories of pulling in there
with navy ships hanging out on the beach with my buddies going over to john tien beach which is in
Pattaya but on the other side and it's much more laid back and just running along that beach back
when i was in the navy during my time off so the biggest reason for me that i'm going there is
nostalgia purposes all right let me finish getting all this stuff packed up and then
we'll jump in the cab head down to Pattaya and i'll give you a tour of my new condo down there
all right i think we're ready to uh rock and roll let's get out of here
i've been on the road i've been doing shows now we ain't stake remember sleeping on the
floor we stealing at the gas station when the town's cold in the kitchen hostile trying to
flip it off the stove rocking fake js praying that nobody knows watch them take my dog away
was way too hard to stay composed fight to see the light of day all the blood on my
clothes i was tired every day green light is time to go i don't want to live life faster
you know 100 miles per hour i might crash cause it's a good diet
push it to the limit
so in good traffic the ride from bangkok to Pattaya is a little bit over two hours and
you have a few options you have bolt here on the left grab on the right you'll see you can take a
motorbike i don't know if i would do that all the way down to Pattaya but you can for 33 all the way
up to 163 dollars the difference between bolt and grab is bolt you have to pay cash grab you can pay
over credit card over the app kind of like uber i ended up using a taxi service from the hotel that
was 1400 baht or about 50 bucks it was raining almost the whole trip so there's not a whole lot
of scenery to show so let's just jump into the condo tour so i booked this about four or five
months ago on airbnb and it cost me 448 dollars for 31 days if i would have been more patient
and waited a while i could have got a place in this building much cheaper the pandemic has hit
thailand pretty hard so the price of airbnbs and rental units has went down you could probably get
a place similar to the one i'm in right now for about 300 for the month all right without further
ado let's jump into this so that's the door you would come in let's pan this way got this kind
of kitchen that reminds me of like a new york style brooklyn apartment kitchen you've got the
refrigerator right here built into the cabinetry it's a pretty big refrigerator
for thailand and then you got the ice box down here which is pretty cool
and then you got the kitchen you guys know i don't cook and in thailand there is no reason
to cook because there's good food everywhere but if i wanted to cook there's a little range top
here with two little burners i'll probably use the microwave and it's got a good nice little
ambiance here got a little eat-in kitchen i don't know maybe i'll have a friend over
or something and we'll we'll grab a bite to eat there let's move on to the living room
got a couch here it's like an ikea couch but it's actually kind of comfortable normally airbnb
couches aren't but that one's pretty good got some nice artwork up here i actually really like this
they've got nice little decorations in here they're very simple but i think they add to the
place as you'll see over here so this apartment actually comes with two tvs there's one in here
got some nice little decorations here it is a buddhist country so we've got a couple
buddhas here which i think really add to the ambiance of the place i actually really like that
and then out here is a balcony so the balcony you can access from the bedroom over there or from
the living room which is really cool so i'll be sitting up here having coffee and things like that
if you look over here you'll see the pool it's closed right now because of covid but
guess what tomorrow it opens up there's actually a slide there as you can see
and then on the other side i don't know if you can see it but there's a rock slide over there and
there's this little bridge right here so you can go from one side to the other but that's pretty
cool i'm excited about jumping in the pool the gym also opens tomorrow which i'm really
excited about i'll throw up a picture of the gym pretty nice gym a lot of free weights and um
and treadmills so hopefully i start getting myself into shape like i've been saying every single
video all right on to the bedroom i like this little thing right here and i can put my shoes
over here and then you know place my wallet my sunglasses my mask right there i like that thing
it's the little things this is a big bedroom for me you guys know i normally get studios
so this is huge but a nice bed it's comfortable got a couple of end tables some more artwork
i'm not sure where that's at anybody know where that's at i don't think that's thailand
this is really cool over here i've got this desk here and i've got all of this natural
light so i'll be able to edit videos there and you know soak in the day
like i mentioned before you can access the balcony right here so that's pretty cool
and the big screen tv as i mentioned before let's go check out the closet here
all right i'm already set up got my unbound moreno hanging up
and lastly the bathroom so there's a light flickering in here they're gonna fix it tomorrow
so no big deal oh let me show you this remember my hotel how it had that you know bathroom that
you could see into the bedroom same thing that's just like a thailand thing they do have this you
know thing where i can you know do that with it since i got the window right here and nobody wants
to see that so but let me open it up because it brings a lot of light into the bathroom a lot of
natural light all right so this is my style of bathroom you got a toilet over there obviously
and then we've got the rainfall shower head i don't need a bathtub this is perfect for me i
don't really take baths just showers and then we got a nice little sink area here
say hi blinking light that'll hopefully be fixed tomorrow because it's driving me insane
but yeah that is the 448 dollar for 31 day Pattaya beach thailand airbnb what do you
think did i get a good deal should i wait it and got it for 300 obviously i should have would you
stay here for 448 dollars a month or 300 a month i don't know i think it's pretty cool all right
