rak sa_ngop Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Decide on which area you might like to live in (based on traffic, transport, shops, bars, parks and other amenities) and walk around, and up and down all the sois. With 5 million for 50 sq.m. pretty much all of Bangkok is in your price range, however many condos will not have the unit size you are after. When you get a feel for an suitable area walk into the condo management offices and ask if they have units for sale. Usually the keys will be with the office and you can view straight away. In my condo there are quite a few units which are for sale/rent which are not advertised or with an agent. The condo mangement sells the unit for the owner (getting a cut from the seller NOT the buyer). Agents are a waste of time (in my opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j0hnga1t Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I'm off to Bangkok on Dec 23rd to close on a condo. 1 bedroom 41 sq meter. five min walk to Sanam Bao skytrain station Near an outdoor market and shopping. Last October I heard that had one more one bedroom available for about 3.2million baht. Brand new project, just finished last month. They are in the process of transferring titles now. http://www.silkcondominium.com/index.aspx?...081022163215663 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauiguy90 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Check out the Sukhumvit 38 and the surrounding area. There are a number of developments there and most within a short distance from the Thonglo BTS. If you are familiar with Sukhumvit 38, there is a very good outdoor food market that opens daily, especially at night. There are also a couple of nice restaurants closeby(including Face Restaurant and a popular Issan restaurant in 36) and of course those in Thonglo as well. There's even a Christian church there! Best of all, there is limited traffic within the soi and for the time being, most of the new developments are near completion. Makes it a nice and quiet neighborhood with close access to many resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogers Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 And your reason for the acquisition: self-occupy or for leasing? If former, then you probably have some preferred area to live in. If latter, then you need to seek advice on market demand and rental value of the many locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauiguy90 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) There's a nice condo called Plus 38, located in Sukhumvit 38. A one bedroom will be in your price range, although they are difficult to come by. Here's one I found while I was browsing this morning: http://www.condothai.com/showdetail.asp?ID=1&pro=7773 Its listed by Sun Property agency: http://www.condothai.com/index.asp fyi, I have no connection with the agency or property. Just enjoy looking at real estate listings....now if I only had money!!! Have fun hunting around! Edited December 16, 2009 by mauiguy90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhgz Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 You should check with a larger real estate broker (for example: CBRE). They have listings by age, cost, size, location...so, you could specify "I'm looking for a new condo, located within 200M of a BTS or MRT station for no more than 70000THB/sqm"...
