Apartments Near Bts Station ?

[OxfordWill]

Hey,

I'm currently renting an apartment on Sukkhumvit soi 49 but am not really happy with it : 6000 Bht/m, loud fridge, a/c doesn't work too well, only 3 thai channels on tv, 4th floor and no elevator, unfriendly staff etc.

So if anyone could suggest me a good apartment not costing more than the current one it'd be great ! It doesn't necessarily have to be on Sukkhumvit Road, but a walking distance of not more than 5-10 mins from any BTS Station would be nice. Thanks for your help, if this topic doesn't belong in the general section, please move and sry

You were getting me all confused then for a minute

[OxfordWill]

Wow! Haha, just saw this..

Which internet cafe were you in? Sorry about that!

I've had a few changs, this thread is confusing me.

You could try a building I lived in for 7 years, PetchSiam Apt. on Petchburi Soi 37. It's about a 10-minute walk, one block down Wittayu Rd. to Ploenchit BTS station. Rent and utils. about 4000, furnished, cable TV, A/C works well, provide your own TV and fridge. Not too bad.

I'll shift this to the Bangkok forum so the topic lives longer.

Try browsing http://bahtsold.com/ You'll find more reasonable ads there as the mainstream english publications assume we're all stinking rich.

@ thailien8 : thanks for the hint, so that means i have to rent/buy my own fridge/tv ? how did you do that, i may stay only one month (if possible) so i don't really want to buy anything.

@cdnvic : will give it a try, cheers !

@Oxfordwil : 7th floor MBK, in the corner, next to all the video games ! Not very likely to happen but here we go

Now THAT's a long shot- OxfordWill forgets to log out of TV (as we all do from time to time on remote pc's) and then Sleir types in ThaVisa at the the very same pc in MBK sometime down the road and unwittingly posts as OxfordWill-

I for one will be making real sure I sign out first, anytime I'm on a remote pc

cdnvic, thx for the mention

Yea, I often log in from there. I sort of knew this might happen one day, I'm just thankful you're a decent guy and didn't wreak any havoc!

[OxfordWill]

Nevermind Bambi, it confused me too!
