Condos with the biggest balconies

[Dave Hedgehog]

As the title says. Which projects have the largest balconies? All areas from Naklua to Jomtien are fine.

It won’t just depend on the building but on the position of the condo within the building. So, a corner unit will have a larger balcony than one in the middle.

Some of the View Talay buildings have larger balconies. A friend rented a 1-bed in VT3 (bottom of Pratumnak Soi 6) and the balcony was huge. VT 7 & 8 have larger balconies than VT 1 & 2. Some of the end condos in Jomtien Complex condo also have large balconies - other units there vary as some have had the balcony incorporated into the condo while others still have the kitchen on the balcony.

I don’t tend to take photos of balconies  but the best I’ve got:

VT7: plenty big enough for a table & chairs with space either side 

 

Old-Style Jomtien Complex:

Corner units at View Talay 4 have largest balconies out of places I've lived at.

 

Generally, you can instantly scratch off all newer developments, since in most of them (Unless you splurge for some "executive suite" 400sqm that takes up quarter of entire floor, and costs 50+M ) you will be lucky if you manage to fit coffee table and two chairs on balcony.

 

Also, if balcony/terrace is something very important to you, you might consider looking into townhouses - many have entire flat roof accessible/possible to adapt into huge terrace.

Good topic.

The balcony attached to a condo can be like a little 'extra room' - which is a nice 'plus', especially if you live in a studio unit.

I lived in View Talay 2B from 2011 - 2012.  I moved out after the 1 year lease finished and one of the reasons why I left there was because the balcony was so small.  There was barely room for a small table and chair.  The balcony was angled too - it was not a rectangle.  It had very limited outside space.

I moved into a condo nearer the beach and have been living there ever since.  The balcony still has an odd shape - (It is not a rectangle.) however the balcony where I live IS bigger than the one I had at View Talay 2B.  I am at Kieng Talay on Soi 6 Pratamnak. 

I had a wooden countertop built that fits over the balcony railing.  I can put several plates, glasses and a laptop computer on it.  I use two elevated bar type chairs so I can sit with a guest and enjoy a drink or meal while taking in the Ocean with Koh Larn and Cozy Beach view.  I also installed an overhead fan and an electric socket with a 'weather door' covering the plugs.  I can have a blender or electric BBQ, possibly a radio outside or plug in the laptop and use WIFI on the countertop.  Mine is made out of teak wood but I would have preferred a granite top instead.

My balcony rail countertop shelf looks something like the one pictured below.  I do have swiveling, padded bar chairs with backs and arm rests, such as those found inside of a 'Go - Go Club' or local bars on my balcony instead of just backless stools.  That is the view off my balcony of the sunset.

The centre units in VT5 have big balconies which have a curve out on them.  Spent 3 weeks in one  of those in February and really enjoyed the great furnitures and  space on the balcony, especially early morning and evening.

I find those of us who come from freezing winter climates put a premium on being able to be  outdoors on a balcony while those from more moderate or temperate climates consider it  less important.

I viewed this place a couple of weeks ago. Between Pratumnak sois 4 and 5. THe balcony was the standoutr feature. Very big balcony which is well furnished and perfect for anyone looking to spend afternoons chilling.

It's a nice place, but I opted for something else - partly disappointed by the pool and lack of gym. Looks like it's still available if anyone is interested https://twoflat.com/Penthouse-2-Bedrooms-at-Siam-Oriental-Garden-on-Pratumnak-Hill_10668 

I used to live at Thabali Chateau Dale. Most rooms there have large balconies, large enough for dinning and sunbathing.

When you look at units in Thailand I have been told that the SQm includes the outdoor balcony space.  I just wish they would break it down to give you actually space outside, as I also like to have a balcony or "outdoor living space"

[usexpat46]

I think the largest at my complex was close to 30 sq meters which was one large balcony off the main room and master bedroom and a another smaller balcony off the smaller bedroom.

Those do not look like  "room/condo" balconies! More like rooftop lounges.

Well mine does Residence Jomtien Beach Condo! 555 It's HUGE pictures don't do it justice!!

Looks good.  Have you considered putting screens on the sliding glass doors?  Being on the 2nd floor mossies and flies will enter your unit when the doors are open.  They shouldn't cost much so maybe the owner would install.

I thought about that when I first saw no screens. And I like having the doors open feeling the breeze, etc. 

 

But, surprisingly with the living room door open quite often day and night no flies and not many mosquitos biting on my delicious chocolate skin! 555

 

Donut says having the sheer curtains closed helps in keeping them out! 

 

When I sit out there early morning and at night sometimes the mosquitos are quite annoying. 

 

If it gets worse and absolutely unbearable I inside I'll look into having screens installed.

At the Urban I was 2nd floor also, there was a screen door there.

Ride 4 Kickz reviewed a penthouse condominium with a 100 square meter balcony.

The condominium is in “The Cliff” building in the Cozy Beach area of Pratumnak Hill.

Ride 4 Kickz is one of the best Pattaya vloggers.

With a 100 sq meter balcony I wonder what the total sq meter is of the unit as the grand total will be what the owner will be paying in CAM fees.

[iLoveit]

The balconies at view talay 6 are a good size. 

   One of the reasons I stay there and it's great location!

Where is VT4? I've never heard of it.  I know 1,2,3,5,6,7 and 8, but haven't seen VT4 mentioned anywhere.

Google can help you with that.

I would think that apartment  is about 275 / 280 square metres

Ride 4 Kickz did a second video about the penthouse in The Cliff.

 

He mentioned that the total size of the penthouse, including the 100 square meter balcony, was 268 square meters.

 

He also demonstrated the Bolt mobile phone app, which enabled him to get a taxi from Cozy Beach to Soi Honey in central Pattaya for 50 baht.

[bangna]

La Royale at Na Jomtien, 3 bed condos are 268 sq m, I looked at 1 unit which had a family sized jacuzzi on the balcony.

Originally 50 million bt to buy, now around 20 - 30 mill, rarely seen for rental.

VT4 is right next to Immigration Office - corner of Jomtien Soi 5 and 2nd Road.
