1 month rental in Pattaya: who offers it and at what price

One month rental in Pattaya: 199 listings accept it

On 10 November 2026 at 10:41 (Thailand time), RENT KHA lists 4,595 rentals online in Pattaya and nearby areas, each with at least one photo. 3,267 of them state a minimum lease. 199 accept a one-month lease, or 6%, against 2,772 that ask for 12 months (85%). None goes below one month. These 199 listings were posted between 16 October and 10 November 2026.

Most are condos: 167 listings, or 8% of the 2,185 condos that state a lease. Then come 13 villas (out of 384 that state a lease), 12 apartments, 3 rooms and only 2 houses (out of 430). No townhouse accepts one month, out of 139. 125 of these listings say they are furnished, none unfurnished, and 74 say nothing about furniture. 11 also offer the home for sale.

The same home often comes back under several listings, posted by different advertisers. Grouping the spellings of each building, then listings with the same size and floor, or with the same rent grid, the 199 listings describe 172 homes, 144 of them condos. At View Talay 5, in Jomtien, 5 listings describe the same 48 m² one-bedroom on the 19th floor. A simpler grouping, by type, bedrooms, rent, size, floor and area, removes only 7 and counts 192 homes, because advertisers do not always give the area or the number of bedrooms.

We read the texts of these listings: they say “1 month minimum”, “1-3 months”, “monthly contract” or “สัญญาหนึ่งเดือน” (one-month contract). 5 listings also offer nights or weeks. Renting a home for less than 30 days falls in principle under the hotel law, and many buildings forbid nightly rentals in their rules.

1 month rental price: ฿5,000 more than the yearly rent

83 listings, or 70 homes, give both a rent for one month and a rent for a one-year lease. Home by home, a single month costs a median ฿5,000 more per month, or 24% more. For half of the homes, the gap lies between ฿3,500 and ฿9,250. The most frequent gaps are ฿5,000 (11 homes), ฿2,000 and ฿4,000 (8 homes each). In all 83 listings, the one-month rent is higher than the yearly rent.

The extremes run from ฿500 to ฿22,500 more. At Espana Condo Resort, a 36 m² one-bedroom on the 5th floor rents for ฿10,500 for 6 to 12 months and ฿11,000 for 1 to 3 months. At Beverly Mountain Bay, in Pratumnak, a two-bedroom on the 12th floor goes from ฿45,000 on a yearly lease to ฿67,500 for one month. At The Orient Resort, a one-bedroom on the 7th floor doubles: ฿8,500 on a yearly lease, ฿17,000 for one month. 9 homes cost 50% more, or even more, for one month.

In baht, the gap grows with the rent; in percentage, it weighs more on small rents. For a yearly rent of ฿10,000 or less, one month costs ฿3,500 more (41%, 9 homes). From ฿10,001 to ฿20,000, ฿4,000 more (26%, 25 homes). From ฿20,001 to ฿30,000, ฿5,000 (20%, 19 homes). Above ฿30,000, ฿10,000 (22%, 17 homes).

Worth knowing before you compare: in 82 of these 83 listings, the price RENT KHA shows is the yearly rent, the lowest in the grid. The last one shows the 6-to-11-month rent. A listing that accepts one month therefore almost never shows the price of one month: ask the advertiser for it, in writing.

Studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedrooms: what one month costs

For a condo studio, the median yearly rent is ฿9,000 and one month costs ฿4,000 more (39%, 11 homes). For a 1-bedroom condo, ฿19,000 on a yearly lease and ฿4,000 more for one month (20%, 26 homes). For a 2-bedroom condo, ฿25,500 on a yearly lease and ฿6,000 more (23%, 12 homes). There are only 3 three-bedroom condos and 7 villas and houses: ฿55,000 on a yearly lease and ฿10,000 more in both cases, samples too small to make a rule.

More broadly, 101 listings (84 homes) put a figure on one month, with or without a yearly rent. That median one-month price is ฿14,000 for a condo studio (13 homes), ฿25,000 for a one-bedroom (34 homes) and ฿35,000 for a two-bedroom (13 homes). For reference, condos on a 12-month lease rent for ฿10,000 as studios (293 listings), ฿15,000 with one bedroom (944 rents) and ฿30,000 with two (352 rents). These are not the same homes: the home-by-home comparison remains the one in the previous paragraph.

Condos that accept one month are also pricier on a yearly lease. Their price shown, almost always the one-year rent, has a median of ฿20,000 (163 rents) and ฿511 per m² (137 sizes), against ฿16,000 (1,752 rents) and ฿400 per m² (1,594 sizes) for condos on a 12-month lease. With one bedroom, ฿19,750 (82 rents, ฿538 per m², 36 m²) against ฿15,000 (944 rents, ฿422 per m², 35 m²). At equal size, these are more expensive homes, often in Jomtien and Pratumnak.

Where to find a one month rental: Jomtien and Pratumnak first

Jomtien has the most one-month listings: 67, or 7% of the 926 listings in the area that state a lease. Pratumnak has 38, or 10% of its 367 stated leases, plus 2 listings filed under another spelling of the area. Then come Na Jomtien (12 of 146, 8%), Central Pattaya (8 of 161, 5%), South Pattaya (7 of 147, 5%) and Wongamat (5 of 157, 3%). 47 listings give no area.

A few buildings come up often. Copacabana Beach Jomtien listings, all spellings grouped, number 12 for 10 homes. Beverly Mountain Bay, in Pratumnak, has 11 for 9 homes, 8 of them posted by the same advertiser. Next come The Panora and Espana Condo Resort (7 listings each), then Dusit Grand Park, Grand Florida and Seven Seas Côte d’Azur (6 each). At Grand Florida, the 6 listings describe only 3 homes.

One month costs the same extra in the two best-supplied areas: a median ฿5,000 in Jomtien (28%, 26 homes) as in Pratumnak (23%, 13 homes). The other areas have too few rent grids to be compared.

• Jomtien, lease of 3 months or less
• Pratumnak, lease of 3 months or less

Owner or agent: who offers a one-month lease

Owners accept one month far more often than agents. 30 of the 186 owner listings that state a lease accept it (16%), against 45 of the 1,326 agent listings (3%) and 124 of the 1,755 listings that do not say who posts them (7%). The owner figure is inflated by a single advertiser, who signs 7 of these 30 listings, all at Beverly Mountain Bay; without that advertiser, 23 listings out of 179 (13%). The 199 listings come from 128 different advertisers.

The price gap barely changes with the advertiser: ฿6,000 more for one month with agents (22%, 17 homes), ฿5,000 in listings that do not say (23%, 44 homes) and ฿4,500 with owners (39%, 9 homes, a small sample).

If one month is not enough, also look at 12-month listings: landlords very often accept 6 months, even when the listing says 12. For a single month, the question can also be put to the advertiser of a longer lease, without expecting the same rent.

Deposit, bills and dates: what one-month listings say

The deposit is mentioned in 64 of the 199 summaries. 32 give it in baht, from ฿2,000 to ฿60,000 depending on the home; 10 set it at one month’s rent and 21 at two months, often for the yearly lease and with one month paid in advance. Two listings ask for two months on a one-year lease and a fixed amount for one month. Pay the deposit when you sign, never before the visit.

For bills, 9 listings (6 homes) say electricity and water are included in the one-month rent, and 20 bill them separately, by the meter or at the public rate (“ไฟหลวง”), some with a move-out cleaning fee on top. The others say nothing: ask who pays for electricity, water and internet before you sign.

Many of these homes are free between two tenancies. 17 listings give an end date: free until 1 December, for example, or from 12 November to 16 December. At least two listings raise the price in December: at Copacabana Beach Jomtien, a 29 m² one-bedroom on the 7th floor rents for ฿18,000 on a yearly lease, ฿30,000 for one month and ฿40,000 from December.

On RENT KHA, the lease filter “Lease of 1 month max” shows exactly these listings; “3 months max” adds the two- and three-month leases. The Access plan, at 75 ฿ a month (100 ฿ less 25%), gives the contacts the advertiser published and opens e-mail alerts; the Professional plan, at 150 ฿ (200 ฿ less 25%), adds a Telegram notification as soon as a listing matches your alerts, and the promotion of one property a month for anyone renting out their own.

How to read these figures

The figures come from the RENT KHA database, on 10 November 2026 at 10:41 (Thailand time). A listing counts if it is online: posted or reposted less than 30 days ago, with at least one photo and not removed. The minimum lease is the one the listing states; 1,328 listings give none.

The one-month rent and the yearly rent were read by hand in each listing’s summary, then found again in its original text. The one-month rent is the one the listing gives for one month, for a period starting at one month (“1-3 months”) or for a “monthly contract”. Medians are computed home by home: a home posted several times counts once.

A median is given only from three rents, and small samples are flagged. Rents per m² keep only sizes of at least 15 m². The Market page shows rents and leases by area; it is reserved for the Professional plan.
