I don't doubt there are a fair number of Russian owned units at Park Lane, and in theory legally around 50% of the units should be Thai (or under Thai ownership at least), however all the immediate neighbours to my condo there are other Brit's, Australians and plus a very pleasant middle aged Lebanese couple who took me out to dinner in a nice Lebanese restaurant and insisted on paying.

I language I heard mostly round the pool was English, then German. Only heard one Russian couple, they responded politely when I wished them good morning.

My place is let out now at 12K a month, and I am back in the UK. Visiting this month so hopefully it is just as pleasant there as it was when I was last there in November.

Cheers

>>Visiting this month<<

Looks like i will be back down there too this month,as i set it up for another renter .Did you rent out yours yourself or did you use an agent ?

Many are under Thai Company ownership by Farangs .The only Thais i have seen there are the partners of Farang men .

Same condo now they want +200k  . <<

Its B200,000 more than the advertised price with Iguna to buy in a foreign name .That was the case in Park lane ,and i think its the same in Paradise Park .How many units and how many buildings will be in Paradise Park ,do you know ?

No it was foreign ownership included in both prices that was given to me.  

But I think I know the reason why, they gave me the price for 6th floor instead of the 7th floor .  That explains the 200k difference .

Anyway they gave me a discount, have just signed the contract now, they told me Building 3 was almost sold out thanks to the Russians.  

We have agreed on the down payment plan and it should be ready in December 2012 or even earlier according to Iguana.

I advertised online, on bahtsold, here and some of the other Pattaya forums. Current renter I got from bahtsold. Ms Preaw in the office handles the day to day stuff, showlng the tenents, collecting the rent etc.

seems to be working out like that so far.

I am on floor 6 in Park Lane, the highest at the standard price.  I can see the sea OK but not a perfect sea view. I could not see the point of paying more for floor 7 or 8 because as second road gets built up in the future all the units could lose the sea view.

I was originally quoted June 2011 for my unit in building 4 to be completed, but it was actually finished Sept 2010, so don't be surprised if you get yours quicker than you were expecting.
