HalfSquat Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hello, Could anyone tell me how much a small apartment, studio or one bed room would cost to rent in Bangkok, somewhere fairly near a Skytrain station would be good? Interested in modest places but that are clean, safe and secure. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel2003 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hi there I live in Chatujak area. Close to Central Plaza Lad Phrao, shopping mall. Studios and 1 bedroom apartments, fully furnished, with tv, and micro, go for 7-13000 per month. That is within 10-20 minutes walk to Subway and Sky train station near the mall. The places around this area mostly have security and gates. I dont know how well you know Bangkok, and if you know this area. Taxi to Sukhumvit is 90-110 Bt. Outside rush hours, with taxi, via the toll way, takes 13 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is about £123 - £229 which sounds pretty good. I take it there is no pool or gym? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedistillers Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 How cheap can you go: 3000. More realistically: between 5000 and 15 000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geekfreaklover Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) I rent a two bedroom, two bathroom townhouse for 8k not far from the skytrain. I find the best way to find somewhere is to choose the area and then pay a motorbike taxi to look around for a place for you. Helps if you speak the language or know someone that does..

ericthai Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Dude, There are so many options. You can get a place for as cheap as 3000 baht a month. I know a few guys that keep a place that costs this much rented all year round, but only come to Thailand for 2 months at a time 2 or 3 times a year. For 3000 baht you can a decent place, not great but ok. Check around Thong Lor area, near petchburi end of the street on the small soi's there are several places from 3000 baht up to 20000 baht. for studios and one bedrooms, 2+ bedroom are more.

Jimjim Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Cheap as 3000 baht/month? No, people, you can get as cheap as 2000 baht/month for an apartment with no air-con. They either have a fan or your buy your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, you can definitely get places in that price range with a pool and gym, I know many who have apartments for 10,000 baht or less in big tall buildings with a pool and a gym.

ozzieovaseas Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 hi thaibear..yeh high floors can be good but ive found they get a lot hotter and so the need for aircon 24/7 depends how far you want to go away from the BTS..If you dont mind a 40 minute 13bht bus ride to the BTS you can get air con,hire tv,hire fridge,pay tv included,wireless net included add the extras for power and water...works out around 5500 tops a month And if you want to be live like a monk and have no mod cons you can go as low as 3000 im told Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
