After helping many foreign buyers purchase condos in Jomtien, one common mistake is choosing a project based only on photos or facilities.
What matters more for long-term satisfaction is:

- Orientation and natural light

- Facilities Crowd
- Elevator Speed
These details rarely show in listings but make a huge difference once you live there.
