How Much Do You Pay For Rent?

[monochaser]

I have heard everything from free to 100k baht. I am baffled by the extreme low figures of 2500 and under. I am very curious as to what these places look like. I can't even get my utilities for under that. I will start by saying that I pay 19000 for a 1br on Soi 4

[toastwars]

I pay 1800bt, I live in Muang thong thani. It is a nice large studio room with good size bathroom, no roaches, 24 hour security a good night market everyday, food market with 100 stalls open 5am till 9pm, meals 20bt. I can take a mini bus to victory monument 25bt takes 15mins.

I love it here the locals have really taken to me and my Thai has improved no end.

[monochaser]

would you be able to get by only speaking English?

[toastwars]

would you be able to get by only speaking English?

Yes but it will do you good to learn a bit of Thai, you will find it a lot easier to learn if you just speak a bit each day. Its not that hard ya big Mary!!

Used to rent an apartment near Sathorn/Rama IV, two bedooms (old but OK): 16,500 THB per month ... 8 years ago :-)

My guess would be now ... 20-22,000 THB per month

In the city you can rent a modern brick built 3 bed detached house for 3K

Seven grand in Chiang Mai in a gated and guarded moo bahn just outside the city for a three bedroom, two bathroom, two floor, detached, one-year-old house with landscaped gardens surrounding. Gorgeous house and really quiet but fear someone will buy it soon and we'll be out on our ear.

[Backpack_thailand]

Move out of the city boys!

Before buying my new place, I was paying 2,000 Baht a month for a beautiful detatched 3 bed bungalow here in Kanchanaburi in a lovely estate - tree-lined roads and all that!

It's great here, though Feb/March?april it's the hottest province in the country...Phew!

[chanchao]

5000 baht Chiang Mai (3 bedroom + maid room, 4 bathroom, garden around, etc.)

Speaking of Chiang Mai, does anyone want this one? :

4000 baht: 2 bedrooms, one with aircon, large living room, pretty large kitchen, 2 bathrooms. It's a long a little stream South of town, but still Muang (city) district along the Hand Dong road. Not a gated moo baan, regular house in regular soi.

I've no connection to this place BTW, was just looking for a place to rent for a friend who got the usual real-estate agent runaround with matching prices, i.e. 10K, 15K.. rediculous. So I looked around in the sois and found this as an example. 4K baht.

Cheers,

Chanchao

###### that's nice (consider my heart partially consumed)

The difference between what you can pay to rent and what you pay to buy is unbelievable. But when I suggested to my wife that I just assume rent than build, I got shot down in a heart beat!

[lampard10]

I rent out three houses in Surin

1/ Two bedroom small villa in large garden ฿4,000

2/ Three bedroom,large villa,swimming pool,UBC paid up ฿10,000

3/ Six bed room,unfurnished. ฿6,500

All of them are on long term rent on a fashionable estate just out side town,with large swimming pool and good restaurant ( a plug,because we've just bought the restaurant, FC 2)

[Jai Dee]

In Bangkok (Sukhumvit Soi 6) 3 years ago I was renting an 18th floor 2 bedroom apartment with large (80 sq m) balcony full of garden and jacuzzi for THB 55,000 per month + utilities. (Company paid )

Now, until my house is built, I'm renting a 3 bedroom 3 bathroom house in a quiet estate east of Sukhumvit Road in Pattaya for THB 23,000 per month. (I pay). The estate has full security and a communal swimming pool and gymnasium.

You can get cheaper (and you can get more expensive too) in Pattaya, but I prefer to pay a bit more for quality.
