Looking For Appartment/hotel For A One-month Stay

[MART]

Hello!

I'll be arriving in BKK in september and would like to find a relatively cheap place (10.000-15.000 THB/month) where to stay for a month until I find a long term rental which suits my needs.

I've been told about Rajah Mansion on soi 4 for example which has rooms for 11.000THB/month and seems to be OK except that it's on soi 4 and I'd rather live somewhere else. I'd like to avoid giving an address on soi 4 to my family and work, even if it's only for short term...

Ratchada area would be nice for example but I'd consider any area as long as it is relatively central.

Apart from A/C, fridge, TV and the usual stuff I'd like to have an in-room internet connection and in-room safe.

Does anyone know of a place that would do?

Thanks in advance!

Most apartments want a minimum 3 months rental. Some places that do monthly deals :

P.A. TOWER , Saphan Mai ( just up from Tescos ) About 5000 a month for standard room. Good restaurants nearby. Nice pool on the roof. On the Pahonyothin road 1 kilometre north of the Laksi monument.

ROMANCE MANSION on Sukhumvit 93 ( I think ) 1 k past the last stop on the BTS

Also about 5000 baht a month.

V.I.P MANSION. Sukhumvit 71. Prefer long stays but can be bargained with, maybe

around the 7000 baht mark

I've never said that I want to live on soi 4. Rajah Mansion just happens to be the only tip I've got until now.

Well I guess they don't but it wouldn't be very difficult to find out what kind of area it is...

Thanks Bangyai! Romance might be a bit too far for my first month. I don't know where Saphan Mai is but I'll do some research.

Premier Inn goes for about 15-16K a month including cable. Its very convenient located at Suk 20, closeby to Soi Cowboy and close to both the BTS and subway(MRT). Not beautiful but lots of guys find it meets their needs. Good luck!
