Jomtien Property Investment: Comparing Two Real Listings Side by Side

Why Jomtien Remains Pattaya's Most Consistent Investment Location

Ask experienced Pattaya property investors where they'd put money in 2025 and most will still say Jomtien. The area offers a combination of beachfront proximity, strong expat rental demand, and established juristic management across most major buildings — factors that translate directly into reliable yield and lower vacancy rates.

But Jomtien is not a monolithic market. Prices per square metre vary significantly depending on building age, floor height, view, and unit size. Understanding these variations is the difference between paying fair value and overpaying.

This post compares two real listings currently available in Jomtien, at different size and price points, to help buyers understand the trade-offs.

The Two Listings

Option A: View Talay Residence 4 – 1 Bed, Floor 6 (88 sqm)

The View Talay Residence 4 – 1 Bed, Floor 6 is a larger-format 1-bedroom unit of 88 sqm priced at ฿4,550,000. View Talay Residence 4 is one of the more established developments in the View Talay portfolio, directly positioned in the Jomtien beachfront zone.

Key facts:

Investment case:

The large floor area suits long-term rental tenants — European and Australian expats, in particular, prefer a proper living space over a studio or compact 1-bed. Monthly rent of ฿28,000–฿35,000 is realistic for a well-presented unit of this size, generating a gross yield of approximately **7.4–9.2%** on the asking price. Units in Residence 4 have consistent occupancy records driven by repeat tenant referrals and the building's reputation.

Option B: View Talay 8 – 1 Bed, Floor 11 (48 sqm)

The View Talay 8 – 1 Bed, Floor 11 is a compact 48 sqm 1-bedroom unit on the 11th floor, priced at ฿3,390,000. View Talay 8 is a newer tower with modern finishes and a high-floor position that delivers genuine sea views above the surrounding buildings.

Key facts:

Investment case:

The lower absolute price and high-floor sea view make this a strong short-term rental candidate. During Pattaya's November–April high season, a sea-view unit of this specification in View Talay 8 can achieve ฿25,000–฿35,000/month on the holiday market. Year-round long-term rent is more conservatively ฿18,000–฿22,000/month, giving a gross yield of approximately **6.4–7.8%**. The appeal here is the lower entry cost and the sea view premium that drives short-term demand.

What About Financing?

Both properties are available for cash purchase. The Thai bank mortgage market is largely closed to foreign nationals, but our how it works page explains the seller financing option available on selected Pattaya listings — 20% down payment, 7.5% annual interest rate, and terms of 3, 6, or 10 years. While neither of these specific listings currently offers seller financing, it is worth asking — terms can sometimes be negotiated directly between buyer and seller.

Next Steps

If either of these listings is of interest, the best step is a viewing — either in person or via a video walkthrough if you are currently overseas. Contact us to arrange access to both properties.
