Koreans are particularly concerned about neatness and security, which is why they insist on condominiums.
Actually, even a villa of this size is in the upper-middle class.
In some cases, ordinary Thai people live in villas that are even worse than this.
Western men who really save money often live there.
Of course, prices vary depending on the region.
In the case of Pattaya, which is usually loved by Western people,
A reasonably affordable villa with air conditioning costs around 300,000 won per month.
Villas where local people live often cost around 200,000 won per month.
Unlike Korean villas, washing machines and kitchens are not required options.
So, when I don’t have one, I use a nearby coin laundry and always eat out or get delivery.
It’s much cheaper than a condo, has a local smell, and there are many affordable amenities nearby.
Rather, there are quite a lot of Western men who prefer villas.
