If you type “buy an apartment in Pattaya for 1 million baht” into a search engine, you are most likely looking for a genuine deal — not a comedy of the absurd. Yet YouTube’s algorithms may serve you a video from the channel “TRYING THE WORLD,” in which Vadim and Marina wander through the ageing slums of Pratumnak with the air of seasoned experts.
This article is not simply a review. It is a professional demolition of the incompetence of bloggers who understand absolutely nothing about the real estate market. We will examine why their attempt to buy an apartment for 1 million baht is either a paid-for farce or a sign of profound intellectual deficiency.
1. THE MARKET ILLUSION: WHY “BUY AN APARTMENT FOR 1 MILLION BAHT” IN 2026 IS A MYTH FOR IDIOTS
Let us start with the figures that these “investors” are clearly incapable of grasping. In 2026, the average entry price for a decent, liquid condominium in Pattaya starts at 2.2 – 2.5 million baht. When two incompetent individuals declare that their goal is to buy an apartment for 1 million baht, they are automatically admitting two things:
- They have no command of current market data whatsoever.
- They are hunting for the most illiquid rubbish on the market — the kind that cannot be sold even at half price.
Any rational person understands this: buying an apartment for 1 million baht in a decent location is simply not possible. But our heroes, most likely driven by an advertising contract with an agency, attempt to convince their viewers that bamboo shacks with dead cockroaches represent an excellent investment opportunity.
2. VIDEO ANALYSIS: FOOTAGE WORTHY OF A PSYCHIATRIC WARD
The quality of “TRYING THE WORLD” content deserves its own psychiatric deconstruction.
- Shaky camera: The impression is that the operator is in a state of permanent shock at their own stupidity.
- Incoherent speech: Instead of terms like “ROI,” “Hold period” or “Capital gain,” we are treated to talk of “fancy stuff” and “rich sofas.”
- Logical gaps: At [01:47] they say they are buying to live in, and by [20:16] they are already musing about an easy resale. These people do not grasp that an illiquid apartment for 1 million baht bought under the Thai quota is a dead asset.
3. A TIMELINE OF SHAME: WHERE EXACTLY DO THEY LIE?
Let us walk through the specific moments of incompetence in the video “Buy an Apartment in Pattaya for 1 Million Baht”:
- [03:00] Google Translate as a deal-making tool. Walking into a transaction worth millions without understanding the language is the height of foolishness. They could have been handed a rental contract instead of a title deed and would have nodded along cheerfully.
- [08:05] Rejoicing over a dead cockroach. Marina genuinely evaluates the cleanliness of a development by the absence of live insects. This is the thinking of someone who has never owned property worth more than a bicycle.
- [13:33] “A stunning bathroom.” They describe an old bathroom fitted with cheap plastic as stunning because it is “elevated.” This is not property evaluation — it is the rambling of rank amateurs.
4. HIDDEN ADVERTISING OR PLAIN STUPIDITY?
The entire video has the look of a badly scripted paid promotion. In all likelihood, an agency offered these would-be bloggers a hefty discount or a direct fee to “sell” their unsaleable stock to viewers. But because Vadim and Marina are spectacularly dim, they have instead produced a piece of devastating anti-advertising.
Who in their right mind would want to buy an apartment in Pattaya for 1 million baht after watching these dark, foul-smelling hutches with a view of a concrete wall? Only people every bit as incompetent as the channel’s hosts.
5. LEGAL COLLAPSE: THE THAI QUOTA PROBLEM
The video makes a passing mention of the “Thai quota” at [05:17]. These idiots do not even bother to warn their viewers that purchasing property under a Thai name as a foreigner is a guaranteed path to losing every last penny of their investment. They are prepared to buy an apartment for 1 million baht registered on someone’s word of honour or via a shell company, simply because “they liked the wooden door.”
CONCLUSION: WHY YOU SHOULD NOT LISTEN TO THESE IDIOTS
The Thailand real estate investment market does not forgive mistakes. If your goal is to buy an apartment for 1 million baht, you need to understand that what you will get is a unit in a 30-year-old building with leaking pipes and zero resale value.
Vadim and Marina from “TRYING THE WORLD”:
- Incompetent: They know nothing about prices, laws or the English language.
- Dim: They assess properties by “rich sofas” and “new toilets.”
- For sale: Willing to advertise any rubbish in exchange for views and imaginary discounts.
If you genuinely want to buy an apartment in Pattaya for 1 million baht, stay well clear of that channel. Turn to professionals, read Nngnews.com and study the analytics at goldenhouse.pro. Do not let two intellectually challenged bloggers make decisions about your money. Remember: the penny-wise pay twice, and the foolish pay for life — especially when they take advice from “experts” in dead cockroaches.
Thailand real estate investment is a serious matter. An apartment for 1 million baht is a trap. The bloggers in this video are a disgrace to the industry.
