tomparis Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 hi all, has anyone managed to find a useful guide to where to live in Bangkok?? My wife and I have just moved here (currently waiting for the stamps in the passport) and are looking around. The issue we have is that roads/sois change in style very quickly between noisey/quiet respectable/other, etc so even looking in certain areas is not simple. NOTE: have found useful: http://www.ssbkk.com/en/stationinfo/15 ==> good descriptions of sois in many areas http://www.kkbkk.com/apartments-condos-rent-bangkok.htm ==> good overview of general areas http://www.soidb.com/en/bangkok/landmark/building/baan_sirirudee.html ==> details on buildings & area facilities But having a really comprehensive guide would be great ! Thanks (hopefully). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) Moved for better exposure, come back to the Accommodation finding when you have decided on a location. Are you working, if so what area? That may help people recommend good areas close by. Edited August 12, 2010 by astral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkup2000 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) I don't have a guide but perhaps we could point you in the right direction if you could tell us some more details and requirements. - What's your budget? - Do you work? You may want to live close by your office. - What are your requirements? Do you need a pool, 4 bedrooms etc?

oldmajor Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I look at the traffic flow in relation to where you work. Get that right andyou are half way there. Always live on the right side of the traffic or close to the expressway on ramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaihome Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 is there an xpat community anywhere in bangkok? Nichada Thani and Panya Village are probably the two best known. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWMcMurray Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 There are many nice places, but your idea of nioce will surely depend how closely uoir condo matches your specific needs... but as others have pointed out... in order to give good advise, a bit more infirmation about your specific family situation and needs would be needed.
