What to know before the transaction
View Talay 2A is one of the most recognizable complexes in Jomtien, with high occupancy both in and out of season. During the high season (November–April), the area is filled with tourists, parking in the complex may be crowded, and traffic jams are possible on the roads. The building was constructed in 2002, so during viewing, attention should be paid to the condition of the systems, elevators, and common areas. The CAM fee may be revised by the management company. Before purchasing, it is necessary to verify the availability of the foreign quota at the Land Department, as despite the "Foreign Quota" indication in the listing, the 49% limit may already be exhausted.
