Location

Jomtien is the largest rental market we cover and, by median rent, the most affordable of the main Pattaya areas. Right now there are 657 live listings in Jomtien on our books, with a median rent of 16,000 THB per month and a median sale price of 4,200,000 THB. If you are looking for a home here rather than a holiday let, that median is the number to anchor your budget to.

What 16,000 THB a month means in context

The clearest way to read Jomtien's median rent is against the areas either side of it. Across our live stock:

• Jomtien — 657 live listings, median rent 16,000 THB
• Naklua — 77 live listings, median rent 14,500 THB
• Pratumnak — 462 live listings, median rent 20,000 THB
• Central Pattaya — 278 live listings, median rent 20,000 THB
• Wongamat — 227 live listings, median rent 36,000 THB
• Na Jomtien — 228 live listings, median rent 37,000 THB
• East Pattaya — 632 live listings, median rent 55,000 THB
• Huay Yai — 6 live listings, median rent 120,000 THB

So a tenant moving from East Pattaya to Jomtien is looking at a median rent roughly a third of the level — though East Pattaya's stock skews towards houses and pools, while Jomtien's depth is in condos. Na Jomtien, immediately south, sits at more than double Jomtien's median at 37,000 THB with a third of the listing count. Naklua is the only main area on our books cheaper by median, and it has 77 listings against Jomtien's 657.

Jomtien has the most new stock coming through

Of the 47 new listings we took on in the last 30 days, 13 were in Jomtien — the highest of any single area. For a tenant, that matters more than it sounds: in a market this size, the unit that suits you may not be listed on the day you first look. If nothing in the current 657 fits, it is worth telling us what you need and letting us come back to you as new stock lands rather than compromising on the first available unit.

Stock mix across our live inventory

Across all areas we hold 2,582 live listings — 1,073 available to rent and 1,466 for sale (a property can be listed as both). By type, condos dominate at 1,692, followed by 802 houses, 62 land plots, 24 commercial units and 2 townhouses. By bedroom count the largest bands are 1 bed (735), 2 bed (502), 3 bed (454) and studio (385), with 231 four-bed properties and 83 five-bed. Those type and bedroom figures cover our whole coverage area, not Jomtien alone — for the Jomtien-only breakdown by bedroom, ask the rentals team and we will pull the current filter for you.

A worked example from Jomtien stock

One live Jomtien listing that shows how far the budget stretches at the lower end: Beach Mountain 2, a 2-bedroom condo listed at 10,000 THB per month to rent (and 2,600,000 THB to buy). That is 6,000 THB below the Jomtien median for two bedrooms. We are not claiming it is free on any particular date — availability moves, so check current availability with us before you plan around it.

For comparison from neighbouring areas on our books: a 2-bedroom condo at Baan Plai Haad in Wongamat is listed at 45,000 THB per month, a 3-bedroom house at Sirisa 16 in East Pattaya at 45,000 THB, and a 1-bedroom condo at Movenpick White Sand Beach in Na Jomtien at 60,000 THB. Same bedroom counts, very different monthly numbers by area.

Long-stay and seasonal tenants

Jomtien's depth of stock is why it works for both patterns we deal with most: long-stay tenants who want a home for a year or more, and seasonal renters returning for part of the year. Lease terms, deposit handling and what is included differ between the two, and they differ between individual landlords — we will set out the actual terms attached to a specific unit rather than a general rule, because a general rule would be wrong as often as it was right.

Rental enquiries go straight to our rentals team inbox. Tell us your area, bedroom count and monthly ceiling and we will come back with what is genuinely available, not a shortlist of units that were let last month.

If you own a property in Jomtien

The flip side of 657 live listings is competition. If you are letting a unit in Jomtien, the 16,000 THB median is the benchmark your asking rent is being read against by every tenant comparing options — and with 13 new Jomtien listings arriving in the last 30 days alone, a unit priced without reference to that median tends to sit.

We are a rental- and management-first agency rather than a resale desk: our work is placing the right tenant and then handling the day-to-day so you are not fielding the calls. We won't quote you a yield figure or promise a return — nobody honestly can — but we will tell you where your unit sits against live Jomtien stock. If your ownership structure is part of the picture, note that foreigners cannot own land in Thailand freehold, which is why condo stock dominates the rental market here; we will talk through what applies to your specific holding.

One thing worth knowing: East Coast Real Estate runs a genuinely separate listing pool, deliberately excluding properties tagged to Alan Bolton, so what you see under our Jomtien count is our own stock rather than a shared shopfront.

Next step

Check availability on a Jomtien unit before you commit to a date, arrange a viewing if you are already in Pattaya, or ask about management if you own here and want the running of it handed over.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a condo for rent in Jomtien long term?

Across our 657 live Jomtien listings the median rent is 16,000 THB per month. That is the middle of the range, not a floor or a ceiling — at the lower end we have a 2-bedroom condo at Beach Mountain 2 listed at 10,000 THB per month. Long-stay terms, deposit and what is included vary by landlord, so we quote the actual terms on the specific unit rather than a blanket figure.

Where can I find cheap condos for rent in Jomtien?

Jomtien is already the more affordable end of the main Pattaya areas by median rent: 16,000 THB against 20,000 THB in Pratumnak and Central Pattaya, 37,000 THB in Na Jomtien and 55,000 THB in East Pattaya. Only Naklua is lower by median at 14,500 THB, and it holds just 77 live listings versus Jomtien's 657. Tell our rentals team your monthly ceiling and we will filter live stock to it.

Is short-term or seasonal renting possible in Jomtien?

Yes — we deal with both long-stay tenants and seasonal renters. Minimum terms are set by the individual landlord, so they differ unit by unit within the same 657 Jomtien listings. We won't confirm a property for particular dates unless the live availability data backs it, so ask us to check availability on a specific unit before booking travel.

How does Jomtien compare with Na Jomtien for renting?

Jomtien has 657 live listings at a 16,000 THB median rent; Na Jomtien has 228 live listings at a 37,000 THB median rent — more than double, on roughly a third of the stock. As an example of the gap, a 1-bedroom condo at Movenpick White Sand Beach in Na Jomtien is listed at 60,000 THB per month. Both areas are our core territory, so we can show you the two side by side.

What kind of properties make up the rental stock?

Across our full live inventory of 2,582 listings, 1,073 are available to rent and condos are the dominant type at 1,692, ahead of 802 houses, 62 land plots, 24 commercial units and 2 townhouses. By bedroom count the biggest bands are 1 bed (735), 2 bed (502), 3 bed (454) and studio (385). Those totals cover all our areas — ask us for the Jomtien-only filter.

How often does new Jomtien rental stock come in?

In the last 30 days we took on 47 new listings, and 13 of those were in Jomtien — more than any other single area. If nothing in the current 657 fits your brief, it is usually worth registering what you need with the rentals team rather than settling on the first available unit.
