81 rentals at half the typical rent in October 2026
From October 14 to 31, 2026, RENT KHA read 2,237 rental listings in Pattaya and around, posted in local groups and classifieds: 2,052 of them are condos or houses that give their number of bedrooms. For each one, we compared the rent with the typical rent of the month, the median rent of the same kind of home with the same number of bedrooms. 81 asked half that typical rent or less: 33 condos and 48 houses, townhouses or villas. That is 3.9% of the listings, about one in 25: 2.7% of the condos (33 of 1,228) and 5.8% of the houses (48 of 824).
The typical rents of October give the scale. Condos: a studio ฿11,000 a month (median of 234 listings), a one-bedroom ฿16,000 (693), a two-bedroom ฿30,000 (282), a three-bedroom ฿66,000 (only 19 listings, a small sample). Houses, townhouses and villas: two bedrooms ฿20,000 (193), three ฿35,000 (375), four ฿75,000 (144), five ฿95,000 (72). A one-bedroom condo at half price therefore asks ฿8,000 or less, a two-bedroom ฿15,000 or less.
To find them, RENT KHA read 12,117 posts in 12 days, from October 19 to 31: 5,938 of them (49%) are partly or fully in Thai, and 4,192 were reposts of places already listed, each merged into a single listing. The video at the top of this page shows four of the 81. On October 31 at 8 a.m. (Thailand time), 57 of them were still online on RENT KHA.
Method: a listing posted again counts once; duplicates found later and listings removed by hand are left out; rents are the ones the posters wrote, from ฿3,000 to ฿1,000,000 a month (below that, a nightly price or a typo; above, a sale price). The median is the middle rent: half the listings ask less, half ask more. Half the median is a comparison, not a verdict on the place: the next sections say what the cheapest listings have in common.
| Home | Listings | Typical rent | At half price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio condo | 234 | ฿11,000 | 1 |
| One-bed condo | 693 | ฿16,000 | 24 |
| Two-bed condo | 282 | ฿30,000 | 6 |
| Three-bed condo | 19 | ฿66,000 | 2 |
| Two-bed house | 193 | ฿20,000 | 7 |
| Three-bed house | 375 | ฿35,000 | 10 |
| Four-bed house | 144 | ฿75,000 | 24 |
| Five-bed house | 72 | ฿95,000 | 6 |
Where the half-price rentals are
Half-price condos are mostly in Jomtien: 8 of the 33, ahead of North Pattaya (3), Wongamat (3), Na Kluea and Central Pattaya (2 each). Half-price houses are mostly in Na Kluea (7), Khao Talo (6), Noen Plub Wan (5), East Pattaya (4) and Huay Yai (3).
All types together: Jomtien 10 listings, Na Kluea 9, Khao Talo 7, North Pattaya, Noen Plub Wan and East Pattaya 5 each, Huay Yai and Central Pattaya 4 each, Wongamat, Khao Noi and Nong Prue 3 each. 12 listings give no neighbourhood, and the other 11 are spread over smaller ones. Na Kluea and Naklua are two spellings of the same area.
Cheaper does not mean far from everything: Jomtien, the neighbourhood with the most listings on RENT KHA, also has the most half-price condos. But a cheap condo is often a small one, as the next section shows.

Why a rent can be half the typical one
The 33 condos are 24 one-bedrooms, 6 two-bedrooms, 2 three-bedrooms and 1 studio. The 24 one-bedrooms ask from ฿6,500 to ฿8,000 a month, ฿8,000 in the middle. They are small: 26 m² in the middle (21 give their size), against 36 m² for all one-bedroom condos of the month (644 sizes). 11 of the 24 are in Lumpini residences. Part of the gap is the size, not a discount.
The language of the post counts too. 39 of the 81 half-price listings were written mostly in Thai (48%), against 405 of the other 1,971 listings (21%). A tenant who only reads listings in English misses almost half of them. The page on Thai price condos compares these two kinds of listings every day.
For houses, the kind of home weighs more than the price. The 48 houses are 24 with four bedrooms, 10 with three, 7 with two, 6 with five and 1 with seven. The 24 four-bedroom homes at half price are 13 townhouses, from ฿22,000 to ฿35,000, and 11 houses, from ฿18,000 to ฿36,000. Among the 144 four-bedroom homes of the month, 87 are villas, with a median of ฿98,000: they pull the typical four-bedroom rent up to ฿75,000. A townhouse at ฿25,000 is half that typical rent without being a villa at half price.
The cheapest also ask for commitment. 48 of the 51 half-price listings that give a minimum lease ask for 12 months or more (94%), against 84% of the others (1,222 of 1,451). And 7 of the 81 say the place is unfurnished, against 15 of the other 1,971 listings: among the 7 two-bedroom houses at half price, from ฿9,500 to ฿10,000, 5 are unfurnished.
A rent far below the others can also be bait. Before any transfer, visit the place, check that the person you talk to can rent it, and never pay a deposit for a home you have not seen: the article on rental scams lists the signs.
Four of the 81, from the video
The video at the top of this page shows four of these listings, with their photos. A five-bedroom pool villa, posted on October 27: ฿45,000 a month, against ฿95,000 for a typical five-bedroom house (72 listings), or 53% less. It has a private pool, a snooker table and 6 bathrooms, and it is furnished.
A three-bedroom condo of 100 m² at Dusit Grand Park 2, in Jomtien, posted on October 30: ฿33,000 a month on a 12-month lease, against ฿66,000 for a typical three-bedroom condo (19 listings, a small sample), or 50% less.
Two two-bedroom condos, compared with the ฿30,000 of a typical two-bedroom (282 listings): 47 m² at D-Eco Wellness, North Pattaya, posted on October 22 at ฿13,000 (57% less; the listing says the rent went down from ฿17,000 to ฿13,000), and 65 m² at Keha Thepprasit, Thepprasit, posted on October 29 at ฿14,000 on a 12-month lease (53% less).
By the time you read this, some of them will be rented. Their pages stay on RENT KHA with the rent they were listed at, and new ones arrive every day: these four were posted between October 22 and 30.

How to see them before they are rented
A half-price listing does not wait. On RENT KHA, the Listings page sorts by date posted, and the filters (type, bedrooms, maximum rent, neighbourhood) keep only the homes you are after; any filtered search can be saved as an alert.
All 24 one-bedroom condos at half price ask between ฿6,500 and ฿8,000: on RENT KHA, rentals under ฿10,000 are reserved for subscribers, because of high demand. Access, at ฿75 a month instead of ฿100, shows them, lets you write to the poster directly and shows the contacts they published, with email alerts. Professional, at ฿150 instead of ฿200, also sends each new matching listing to Telegram as soon as RENT KHA reads it.
To know what a normal rent is in each neighbourhood before you visit, the Market page (Professional plan) and the article on rents by area give the medians, neighbourhood by neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions
Are there really condos at half the price in Pattaya?
Yes, but few. From October 14 to 31, 2026, 33 of the 1,228 condos that give their number of bedrooms asked half the typical rent or less (2.7%). Most are one-bedroom condos of about 26 m², at ฿6,500 to ฿8,000 a month.
What does “half the typical rent” mean?
The typical rent is the median rent of the month for the same kind of home with the same number of bedrooms: ฿16,000 for a one-bedroom condo, ฿30,000 for a two-bedroom. A listing at half price asks half that median, or less.
Why are so many cheap listings in Thai?
48% of the half-price listings were written mostly in Thai, against 21% of the others. RENT KHA reads Thai posts and summarises every listing in six languages, so they show up in your search like the others.
How do I hear about a half-price listing before it is gone?
Save a filtered search as an alert on RENT KHA: email alerts come with Access (฿75 a month instead of ฿100), and Professional (฿150 instead of ฿200) adds a Telegram notification for each new matching listing.
