dantilley Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Try the Ari or Rama VI areas. Not completely devoid of farrangs, but not quite so many as you get in areas such as Sukhumvit or Sathorn. Quiet, leafy, green and pleasant area of Bangkok. Not sure about the schools though - there are some around, but not sure of the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel2003 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Around Central Plaza Ladprao - Ratchayothin (Chatujak area). Extremely quiet, but yet all the services one need. 15 min into town by the highway, or sybway/skytrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janj Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Try the Ari or Rama VI areas. Not completely devoid of farrangs, but not quite so many as you get in areas such as Sukhumvit or Sathorn. Quiet, leafy, green and pleasant area of Bangkok. Not sure about the schools though - there are some around, but not sure of the standard. I live in Ari and really love it. It's a great area: BTS station, 2 villa markets within a two block radius, lots of restaurants, food stalls, phaya thai hospital within walking distance, close to weekend market, Big C Also, it is a very green area. It's actually surprising but, since there are so many large, old homes in the neighborhood, there is a lot of foliage decorating the landscape. I know you said you were looking for a house, which may be difficult to find but there are many new apt and condo buildings sprouting up all the time.

dantilley Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I know you said you were looking for a house, which may be difficult to find This is true - what's your expected budget for house rental? Good houses are a rare find in Ari and usually very expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantilley Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 In Ari that would be a struggle, but maybe just about do-able. Any less than that I'd say almost no chance. There was a house on a soi near me going for 30,000 - it was on Soi Ari Samphan 2. Didn't see the quality of the place, but shows they're out there.

drummachine Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 My Thai friends seem to think differently. They say 30,000 should be ample for a good house in a good area in BKK. Is Ari area a hiso area? Thanks for Replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
