Checked out of View Talay 5:   17 November 2008 

Jason & Mingkwan,

We're back in Macau and back at work, we would like to thank the both of you 
for efficiency provided regarding transportation and prompt reply to any query 
we had. The Condo was just great, clean and secure. We would surely recommend 
your Condo to any of our friends who are interested in visiting Jomtien in the 
future.

It would be great if you have accommodation like this in Patong, Phuket, we 
normally go there at least three times a year.

Once again thank you for the excellent service provided.

Idéalement situé à 50 mètres de la plage de Jomtien, très calme et sécurisé,
c'est une excellente alternative à un séjour hôtelier.
Ma fille Samantha a beaucoup appréciée la proximité de la plage et de
Pattaya Park.  Les couchés de soleil sont magnifique et me laisse des souvenirs mémorables.
Une adresse a retenir pour mes prochains séjours !

We were very satisfied with our stay in your condo in View Talay 5 in march
2008. Everything was all right, including pick-up and return to the airport.
It was easy to arrange extra cleaning and washing service at first floor.
The condo rental was comfortable and a worry-free experience.
Especially we were happy with the drinking water machine and the cell-phone.

We will recommend this condo to everyone. Try this instead of booking a room
at a hotel! 

There is a big balcony with a very good view of the beach and sea.  

We played a lot of golf during the vacation, and it's easy to get transport
to different golf courses. Contact Pattaya Sports Club for information. 
Next time in Thailand we will try to stay in this condo again.

Having just rented a Condo from Jason and Mingkwan for two weeks I must say how impressed I was with the desire of Jason and Mingkwan to help in every way possible to make my stay happy and successful.

I was apprehensive when making the reservation by Internet but this was ill-founded as I found the condo very clean, well stocked with basic needs and nicely furnished, all within the price as stated.

You get everything Jason says on his web page, and his response to request was always prompt when arranging by E-mail.

When returning to Jomtien, which I will. I will always consider Jason and Mingkwan first, for a Condo.

Thanks again for an all too short visit. The condo was again very clean and ready to use.  I liked the addition of the fan, as neither I nor my lady like it too cold and the air con definitely gets too cold for me.  The TV and DVD/CD player worked fine, as did all the remote controls.  LOL, I'm even "learning" to like Thai soap operas.  Your wife was extremely helpful and gracious, as always.  She is very good at making one "feel at home" and so welcome.  The only thing I could fault was the length of my stay, it just wasn't long enough.  I look forward to staying again and again in your condos.

"I stayed in View Talay 1 on the 6th floor.  The condo was spacious and clean.  Jason was there on time to meet me.  I have stayed in many hotels in Pattaya, all in different price ranges, but I don't think you will be able to beat Jason's condos on price and quality anywhere else. There is a pre-pay mobile phone for you to use, plenty of soap and shampoo.  I booked the room for 4 weeks.  I thought I was going to stay in a hotel for the last 3 days of my holiday, but then this plan was scrapped as soon as Mingkwan asked if I would like to stay longer.  I will definitely be using their service again."

"Many thanks to you and your wife for making our stay so enjoyable!  Joe and I had a wonderful time in View Talay 5.  It was very convenient to be able to pay everything in advance with my visa card from the UK and also to know that the water and electricity was included in my rental.  This condo is very clean and well decorated and it was a pleasure to be in.  We particularly liked the spacious shower area. The beach is nearby and you don't have to walk far to get a taxi.  The balcony has terrific views of Jomtien beach and the sea. The welcome by Jason and Mingkwan was terrific - with even cold beer and cool drinking water. We definitely will be returning and highly recommend the condo!!!"

"Jason and his wife Mingkwan have the nicest condos in Pattaya. Jason and Mingkwan are also the nicest people!  We stayed in two different units on separate stays: one on the 6th floor, and the other on the 7th floor of View Talay 1, building B

We received great service. Jason arranged a sedan car to pick us up in the middle of the night from the new airport, where the driver had a prominent, printed sign with my name on it. As my first time to Asia, this was a godsend after being on connecting planes for around 20 hours.

When we arrived, Jason's wife Mingkwan was there to meet us at 3:30 a.m. That kindness really made us feel secure in a new and foreign land.

Cold drinking water was already there for us in the refrigerator, which was great…since the last thing one wants to do at 3:30 am is to stumble around in a foreign land looking for something like that.

I had a nice large, comfortable, king sized bed, which I got all to myself. I also had a friend sleep on one of the floor mattresses that Jason provides.

Air Conditioning (or air-con as locals seem to call it) was so sweet.  I kept it at 68 F, and conveniently the electricity was included in my rent – no worry is right!  When I first arrived, I thought it was warm in Thailand at 3:30 am, but the next day there was strong heat and humidity.  I wasn't used to the tropical heat yet.  After walking around all day sweating, like I was the river Nile, the "air-con" was like heaven on earth when I stepped inside!

Jason and Mingkwan’s attention to detail was simply beyond the usual. For example, there was an ashtray with a lighter on the coffee table. It's clear from the lack of scent in the beautiful condo that no other guests smoked in the room. So we smoked on the balcony, which was no biggie, and really we felt it was the least we could do to be polite and not smell up the place.  There were such nice homey touches throughout.  I loved the DVD player and cable TV, since I could keep up on the news back home.

Jason and Mingkwan try to think of everything so you don’t have to: a new refrigerator, microwave, all the cleaning supplies needed, soap and shampoo, pen and paper, screwdriver, felt tip marker, etc., and all the odd things most people renting condos would never think they need, but those were the things we actually did need and use.

This was our first experience with Jason and Mingkwan’s condos. They didn't have availability for part of the time that we were spending in Jomtien/Pattaya (as it was high season), so Mingkwan found us another dwelling in another serviced apartment, which was twice the price and had no bedding or anything  -- luckily she lent us bedding and bought other supplies, which was great.  We had to pay extra for water and electricity at this other serviced apartment: 400 baht for four days electricity and 25 baht for water. Mingkwan could have let us fend for ourselves and we would probably end up paying thrice the price.  Price was a factor for us. Service with Jason and Mingkwan: exemplar!

We needed one additional day before we moved on to Koh Chang, and Jason had that one day free on his 7th floor condo. That 7^th floor unit matched our experience on the 6th floor condo. The condos are decorated with the use of artificial plants and it looks great with the nice print pattern of the drapes, which was very tastefully blending nicely with the blankets.  The decoration is very pleasing in both!

I heartily recommend Jason and Mingkwan's condos to travelers coming to Jomtien and Pattaya. You will get a great pool with food/beverage facilities poolside and all the amenities you could need (internet, restaurants, laundry, bars, etc all reasonably priced) located either in building B, or building A.  The location makes it easy to get around."

"I stayed at Jason's View Talay Condo in Pattaya, Thailand for a period of three weeks in November 2006. I really enjoyed my stay. The condo is very nice and modern, with enough room for a couple, and more than enough room for a single traveler like myself. It is situated close to Jomtien Beach, and the "downtown" of Pattaya is a short 10-minute jeep ride away.

The location of the condo is perfect because you are away from the very busy and congested part of Pattaya, but still close enough that it's easy to go there should you need the exciting nightlife of the "Walking Street" area. Jomtien Beach is a nicer and cleaner beach than Pattaya Beach itself. The condo grounds are nice and have 24-hour security, a nice and large swimming pool area, and various restaurants, massage parlors, an Internet cafe, and even laundry service!

As far as the condo itself, I stayed in the very roomy and comfortable 7th Floor Condo of View Talay 1 Building B. In the condo unit is a very nice size, new, and quiet refrigerator and a microwave. There's a TV with Cable Access and a DVD player. The cable was great because it allowed me to stay in touch with news back in the USA, as you get both CNN, the Fox News Channel, and BBC News. The bed was a very roomy king-size bed. There's a very efficient and powerful air-conditioning unit that will shelter you from the hot and humidity outside! Staying in a condo beats staying in an impersonal hotel, and you don't have to deal with maids and housekeepers, especially if you like your privacy. This was very important to me as well, since I brought my laptop and other electronics. You can also sign up to get wireless internet for a great price, not from Jason, but directly from the condo management office. They have wireless routers on every floor, so the signal was always great. Jason and his wife provide cleaning supplies and a vacuum, if you're on the neat-freak side of things!

Most of all, Jason was very pleasant and professional, and the fact that you can pay him via PayPal was a great convenience for me, rather than having to cash a large sum of money to pay for the rent. The price of the condo cannot be beat, especially when you take into consideration that all water, electricity, and cable is included. What he advertises on his website is what you truly get - no hidden  or extra fees. I shopped around while here in Pattaya, and I could not find any other properties that included all these in their rental price.

I plan to rent from Jason again when I travel back to Pattaya. I highly recommend this condo or the others that he has in Pattaya. He is very accommodating and will always give you the best and the most fair price."
