Garden Apartment Pratumnak Hill | Pool | One-Bedroom Style

‹ ›

1 / 19

Room 3 at Grosvenor House is one of the better apartments for rent in Pattaya if you want more space than a studio without paying penthouse prices. It is a one-bedroom style apartment facing the garden on Pratumnak Hill, 150 metres from Big Buddha and five minutes by car to Walking Street. The room sleeps two, has a fully equipped kitchen, access to an Olympic-size pool on the second floor, and rates starting at ฿3,000 per night or ฿45,000 per month. Tesco Lotus and a 7-Eleven are directly across the road.

What Pratumnak Hill is Actually Like

Pratumnak Hill is the answer most websites do not give when expats ask where to live in Pattaya. It sits on a forested headland between South Pattaya and Jomtien, about a ten-minute drive from either. The hill has Thai Royal Family residences and a naval installation at its southern tip. That history matters: the streets are well maintained, quiet by night, and the area has a consistent, residential character that the rest of Pattaya does not.

People compare it to the Beverly Hills of Pattaya, which is accurate in the sense that it is greener, calmer, and more liveable than the busy hotel strip to the north. There is no nightlife on Pratumnak Road itself. Restaurants and cafes run along the main road and the sois off it, but the evenings are quiet. It attracts long-term expats, couples, and remote workers who want Pattaya accessible without being surrounded by it.

Dongtan Beach, consistently rated one of the cleanest beaches in the Pattaya area, is a 15-minute walk down the hill. Pattaya Beach and Jomtien are both a short ride away. You get the option of the whole city without the noise.

What is in Room 3

Room 3 is a one-bedroom apartment, larger than the studio in Room 1, with a garden terrace and a view of the forested hillside behind the building.

• Queen bed in a separate bedroom
• Garden terrace with garden view
• Fully equipped kitchen with hob, microwave, and fridge
• Smart TV
• Fast Wi-Fi
• Air conditioning throughout
• En-suite bathroom with hot shower
• Complimentary cleaning every three days
• Fresh towels and bedding included
• Pool access, no booking required, no extra charge

The kitchen is fully stocked for day-to-day cooking. Tesco Lotus is directly across the road for groceries. For quick supplies, the 7-Eleven is right there too. The garden terrace is what separates Room 3 from the other rear-facing rooms. It is a proper outdoor space, shaded by the hillside in the afternoon. Maximum two guests.

The Pool

The pool is on the second floor of the building. It is full size, well maintained, and free to use for all guests with no booking required. Most apartments for rent in Pattaya at this price point either do not have pool access or share a small rooftop pool with the entire building. This one is neither small nor crowded. Long-stay guests report having it largely to themselves during weekday mornings.

How Much Does a Pattaya Apartment Cost, and Where Does Room 3 Fit

Pattaya apartment prices vary more than most rental markets. The numbers people quote online are often either inflated for short stays or baseline figures for unfurnished condos with nothing included.

For context: a simple studio in a low-rise building away from the beach starts at around ฿5,500 per month unfurnished. A furnished one-bedroom with a pool in a decent building typically runs ฿25,000 to ฿35,000 per month. The market average for a solid one-bedroom apartment in a good Pratumnak location is around ฿30,000 to ฿40,000 per month, all inclusive.

Room 3 sits at ฿45,000 per month. That rate includes everything: cleaning every three days, fresh towels and bedding, pool access, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and the full kitchen. There is no condo management fee, no security deposit complexity for short stays, and Tesco Lotus is across the road. For a furnished, pool-access one-bedroom on Pratumnak Hill, it is a reasonable rate for what you get.

For shorter stays, the nightly and weekly rates reflect the location and the size of the room relative to comparably priced hotel rooms in the area.

Short Stay or Monthly: Who Room 3 is For

Room 3 works well for both, but it suits longer stays particularly well.

For a week or more: the separate bedroom, the garden terrace, and the full kitchen make it genuinely liveable rather than just comfortable. You can cook, work, and have outdoor space without the apartment feeling cramped. The pool means you do not need to leave the building to get a swim in. The grocery options across the road mean you are not dependent on restaurants for every meal.

For a monthly stay: the ฿45,000 rate is all-inclusive in a way that straight condo rentals usually are not. No electricity bill surprises, no separate Wi-Fi setup, cleaning included. For a remote worker or a couple on an extended trip, the running costs are predictable.

For a short stay: the nightly rate is competitive for a one-bedroom with pool access on Pratumnak Hill. Most comparably positioned hotel rooms nearby are smaller, do not have a kitchen, and charge separately for amenities.

Can Foreigners Rent an Apartment in Thailand

Yes, straightforwardly. Foreign nationals can rent property in Thailand on a tourist visa or any valid visa. There is no Thai resident requirement for renting. A copy of your passport is all that is typically needed for a short or medium-term stay. There are no restrictions on foreigners renting apartments, condos, or houses. The process at Grosvenor House is the same for Thai and international guests.

The Lunch Box Cafe
