Well, I'm only talking about Grand Avenue Residence!

Also, at the Grand Avenue Residence's balcony, if you can find a water faucet and electrical outlet let me know!

Do they have communal washers?

Hello,

I don't know! I told my realestate agents, "tell the perspective owners, I'll pay half for installation and new washing machine!"

Afterwards, eventually when I move, you can keep the washing machine for next tenant! No way, I'm going to lease a new condo without washing machine!

Thats very generous!

I prefer washing clothes by hand when i'm in thailand. But you need a machine for towels and bedding. 

Good luck.

There are only 50 Laundry places nearby ...I get wanting your own machine though.....I prefer dryers though to line drying...but mayve I could get used to it.

If someone made me that offer I would accept it...are you finding that is not the case?

Find a good Thai woman, give her 10k and she'll wash your clothes [emoji23]

Major Problem,

Majority of the units at the Grand Avenue Residence doesn't have built in washer and dryer! The owner have to pay additional 10,000 bhat to put a line for washing machine! Lots of owners are hesitant to put an additional line for washing machine! I'm not going to sign a longterm lease without a washing machine!  Living in a condo without washer and dryer will be too troublesome and humbug!

yes most just stick one in the bathroom and it take up room  in there

i think your a time waster i showed you one with everything long time ago.

Great ....but your clothes are not my clothes. After a variety of these places tag them and leave a hole, that option will never be used.

That would eb about 3 pairs of underpants. The best laundry I found on Soi 15 was a place right by the  Urban behind a bar. I normally pay 200 to 300 for a load of laundry. Prices for laundry in Pattaya are about 3 times what they are in Angeles City (35 php a kilo). It's about 50 baht per kilo in Pattaya in most places.

I tried a laundry in the soi near Boomerang because they were cheaper and they lost half my stuff.

Apologies. Self service machines ....yes, 40b. Bit of a pain when they are not in your condo block. I prefer a small amount of hand washing each day.

Your name should be on the fourth column of the last row. (See sample below)

If not, what is written in the second column ?

 

There is nothing written on the back side of the chanote. They let me fill in papers for send to inform the goverment. After 2 or 3 months, when it's done, i have to go back to the office to fill in my name on the chanote.

Greetings,

Would you lease a condo on the ground floor facing the pool? Yes or no, and why?

I wouldn't.  Ground floor units have no privacy at all.  Everyone at the pool can see everything that you're doing, so you have to keep your shades drawn (Unless you like the added attention)  There's also lots of extra noise from the pool.  There's a reason that higher floors command a premium.

I have never seen washing machine in the bathroom in Thailand. Maybe that is the option in the houses with multiple bathrooms, but what I have seen in the condos, it's always in the balcony. Also all the houses I have been visited, the washing machine has been outside.

In my latest 1 BR condo it was in the balcony and I think that is the best place for it. Most of the sensible condos, there is a water and electricity outlets in the balcony. If there is no outlets and you really need a washing machine, just skip those condo blocks.

Can somebody please describe the status of Grand Avenue right now ? And "Grand Avenue" IS the "Golden Tulip", yes ?

Looking a google street view from Soi Buakhow 15 it still looks like a construction site. Is that where the entrance to the condos is ?

Buit the main section of condo buildings around the large pool appears to be fully built ? 90% built ?

Also, any construction noises around to bother the tenants or is it mainly quiet ?

TIA

the condo entrance is next to Korandos bar in Soi 15. 

as i only pass by i cannot comment on any noise issues involved in finishing the interior of the project

the outside fronting Soi 15 does still look a total mess. a hotel was planned, but nothing has been started and i don't know if it ever will be.

[talung66]

from what i just came across https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=grand avenue pattaya&epa=SEARCH_BOX 

Are the usual average  studio size condos that centara has  averaging from 33 to 37 sqm  1 bedroom like the bases 29 sqm ones in grand avenue

I prefer to live in one large room instead of 2 small ones .

and it seems rental prices are coming down some seem  reasonable for start  asking price for band new sure lower can and will be negotiated for 1 year rental the way thing are ATM 

i am sure this one will take 19 k unless a thai owner saving face.

Greetings,

I noticed that the Condo has a decent size steam and dry saunas and the temperature can be manually controlled by users! Their gym is decent for condos but all the equipments are made either from China or Thailand, based on my experience, the equipments will need major overhaul within1.5 years! In regards to my unit, my portion of the cost of new washing machine and the installation charge was approximately 12,000 bhat! (The owner and I decided to split the cost 50/50)

I'm excited to live there for next two years! If you have any questions regarding the Condo, let me know after March 1, 2020!
