Long term hotel - monthly rates deals?

[Meanies]

I need to stay in Bangkok for about 2 months, down from Chiang Mai. I've found all the usual serviced apartments and looked at AirBNB but prices still seem to be pretty high.

 

I keep hearing that hotels are offering some excellent monthly rate deals at the moment but I don't know how to find them.  Does anyone know of any they could share?  Ideally looking around Phrom Phong area.  Thanks!

You heard wrong. 

 

There was only two hotels and that deal was booked and gone in a day - literally.

Contact them directly and ask, many have not changed their standard web info as most is controlled through third parties who have a vested interest in keeping the rates high.

A number of possibles come up on a google search. As an example, maybe a bit away from your preferred location and possibly budget issue:

Lol, you plaster a confused face and then you post links with 50 thousand baht a month while the OP says he finds airbnb too expensive.

 

Confused face right back at ya

There is a place on sukhumvit road in Thonglor near soi 38 that has nightly rooms for 700 baht and monthly rooms start at 7,000 to 9,000 ..I stayed on a 3 month lease and got my 8500 deposit back..its called Sk Tower ..BTS Thonlor 2 minute walk..have a minimart ,wash clothes and a bar onsite ..many farangs ,,mostly Japanese but nice safe place to stay...check out SK TOWER on google..the rooms also have dozens of good english tv ,,fridge,,balcony for smokers.....

[Meanies]

Thanks all!  I'm hoping to keep it around 20,000 / month, inclusive of water and electricity.  Saw some rooms for less than that but they were extremely small and basic.

 

Really appreciate the replies!  Any other suggestions are very welcome!

I think this is a boots on the ground task. I personally have faith in these on line agents and middle men delivering the goods. Is it worth posting on local forums?

There's a place around Soi 4 at 15 k a month and 6 to 8 k a month around Thonglor. Try a teachers forum. Start phoning hotels directly.

Very good info. Tx

[Meanies]

Again, thanks very much.  I've spent hours browsing aimlessly, so this is very helpful.  I'll start contacting potentials directly.

 

Cheers.

I  qualified my response rather than your initial response which was clearly totally unhelpful and incorrect. As a later poster showed.

Find a place you like on Airbnb and send them a reasonable offer. The prices are negotiable.

No you posted no deals at all and it is your post that is grossly unhelpful. 

 

My first post was 100% correct. 

 

There was 1 hotel that was offering crazy discounts, eastin makkasan which had a dozen or so 72sqm rooms for as low as 10,000 a month. That deal was snapped up within 1 day. 

 

The "deals" you posted from novotel are no deals at all as their daily rate is around 1000 baht, yet you post a "deal" for the same room at 30,000 baht a month. 

 

Perhaps your idea of a "crazy deal" is different than mine.

Cash is king, esp in hard times....Almost any place gives a decent discount for min 3 months..may be cheaper to get a 3 month, even if you only use it for 2...the longer you stay the cheaper is the rule..deposit could be an issue

 

With airbnb you can bail if it sucks and no deposit scams to possibly deal with...all inclusive and insured...

 

Also Ive found listings on airbnb and then found the actual place and worked out a deal, as Ive seen hotels Ive stayed in monthly listed on airbnb for much higher rates and walked in a got a much cheaper deal in person

 

If you know a thai have them call for rates then show up to claim it, works  better if you have them with you...

 

Check facebook as many thais rent places and can find some deals..I just use a FB burner acct I made to search

 

Example my apt in Cm is 3500 a month for 3+ months..if I got the same room for ONE month its 5000......

 

Just takes time to hunt down the right place..maybe a temp airbnb if you need more time to find the right spot

I put Phrom Phong, 19000 ThB maxx, 2 months, in the criteria of Airbnb, and got something like 70+ possibilities.

Some hotels have joined RetHub as monthly "short term" room rentals. I know some in Chiang Mai, check the RentHub out. You shall find something in Bangkok. Good luck.

I have recently stayed at The 4 star Key Premier Hotel on 3 separate occasions and their deals have been very good. Normally 4000tbh for a nice room for 2 people, I stayed the night of the 27th December, the last time for 999tbh.They have a really nice pool on the roof and a well equipped gym, nice staff, great air con and clean rooms. I'm sure they would do a great deal on a long term stay.

I'm sure one of the struggling guest houses could give you a deal, but make sure you

get the government rate for electric bills, some will charge you about double.

Just watch you don't get done with the electric bill, it should be about 4Bt per unit.

Wow, looks great. A few years ago I paid that much for a place on On Nut that was a dump.
