Looking For Room

[siamy cat]

Hello! I am new to Chiang Mai and looking for a room(house, apartment, guesthouse...) where we can also cook, up to 6000 month, short-term, if possible in the old town or not so far. I checked around but it is not easy to find a place where we can cook...

We really appreciate your help!!

Thank you in advance.

Veerachai Court is on Thapae soi 2 and has various rooms available in different blocks. Newest is the best but is 6,500...no cooking. A newer appartment complex with gorgeous pool is just out of town on Thanon Nimmanhemin. It's Baan Thai and is only 4,800 per month and superb views of Doi Suthep if you get on that side. No cooking facilities but you could buy an electric cooker for around 5/600 baht and there are loads of restaurants around there catering for the student population. They both have satellite and obviously tvs, fridges etc. but Baan Thai are talking about doing wireless internet to rooms and they have a better selection of satellite channels. Out of the two, I'd go for Baan Thai as it's really new, in a good location (decent area) and the pool is great. Sawngthaews into the city are 10 baht.

Veerachai Court - 053251047

Baan Thai - 053219000

Month deposit for Veerachai or 650 baht per night for new rooms and unfortunately about 2 months for Baan Thai.

Many other places around town such as Hillside and Lanna 3, but they are expensive for the former and full for the latter. Pretty sure Baan Thai have rooms now.

You may struggle finding a place with cooking facilities. Cooking facilities in an appartment would usually comprise two rooms and be way above your budget, while a house with kitchen would require you to sign a yearly, or 6 months at the least, lease. Vian Ping Mansion not far from Baan Thai may have a room with kitchen but is a bit tatty.

[chownah]

All the people I've know who lived in your price range (both farang and Thai) have set up their own kitchens on the balcony.

Who is we?

would you consider sharing a house?

Jackr (or anyone else who knows) - do you know if Baan Thai have a fax number or e-mail address? Would like to contact them from UK in advance of returning to CM for a June visit.

Thanks in advance

Not the same Baan Thai, I think? It's a very common name for apartments, hotels & restaurants.

[cm das]

A friend of mine lives in a place by the old municipal stadium (Chang Phuek area). He pays less than 4k, has a great view of Doi Suthep & a small cooking area - inside even! If this area might work let me know & I'll get the name of the building.

[sinkorswim]

you could try the lanna 3 building on hueykeaw road (spelling please) it is located just after dunkin donuts on the opposite side i know the have a apartment coming up very soon with a separate kitchen for less than 6000baht and it is very quite in there.i have recently just moved from there, but had no complaints.

minimum term is 3 months though otherwise you lose your deposit.

regards

No, not the same place. The Baan Thai I'm on about is an eight-storey concrete establishment on Thanon Nimanhaemin, further north.

Does look nice mind. Can't beat a bit a Lanna

I want to comment on my recent two month stay at Viangbua Mansion. In short, I was delighted with it in all respects. The Manager and the staff have created a wonderful environment. In particular, you’ve created a safe, comfortable, and elegant facility in Chiang Mai. Thank you so much for taking care of every detail, for your personal involvement, and for keeping me “connected” to the Internet. I wish you, your family, and your staff a very Happy Songkran, and success and joy in the New Year. I look forward to my next stay with you. Until then, thank you for helping make my time in Chiang Mai so pleasant.
