Hello,

I'll arrive in Bkk on end of January.

I'm going to stay several months, so I want to rent a serviced apartment.

A Thai friend just told me I might need to book one in advance, maybe up to 1 month..!

I'm really surprised, as I never read anything like this before.

Is it true just for some residencies, or everywhere ?

Thanks for your help,

Manu

well, all I can say is that it helps to book in advance. why would you not?

I'm sure you can find somewher when you arrive. But would it not be better if you had somewhere to go when you arrive? It would save you the hassle off looking around. Just a thought.

hello,

thanks for your answers

I'm planning to go to a friend's home for a few days (maybe a week) when I arrive, the time to rest from jet lag and to find an apartment.

I'll prefer to avoid to book a place I never saw in real, as I really don't want to spend 1 month in a place I may not like...

Hey Manu,

I'm also arriving in Bangkok for some months in January, and like you, will need to find a serviced apt. or room...I think the best thing you can do to narrow it down a bit is to decide where you want to live--if in the middle of the city or in the old city, etc...if you are going for work, for example, the best option might be to find a place within walking distance from there! That's how I've been approaching it
