codysweet02 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hey all, Me and my friend are looking for a 2 bedroom condo which is close to Thapae gate/Night Bazaar area. Budget is less than 15,000 total and would prefer a place with a kitchen. Need a furnished place. I will be taking language classes, and he teaches east of the river, which is why we are looking at this area. Any leads or recommendations are much appreciated. I've been looking online but coming up a little short so far. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelly Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Google Richard Katze of Chiang Mai Apartment Rental. He has excellent Trip Advisor reviews and he has several different condos all around that area. I have not personally been to the rental I have reserved, yet, but I trust that it'll be exactly what he's selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 His website is appallingly badly designed and I could find no mention of prices. In my experience no prices usually means very high prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of your observations are on the mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience no prices usually means very high prices. I'm told he's very expensive and not that good service 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rented from Richard, he is a nice guy and charged me no deposit but I paid 20k/month for a really nice furnished studio on my first trip to Thailand He is way over priced...I did not even consider his places this trip due to price alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I'd second Doi Ping Mansion (Charoenprathet Rd). They used to have 2 bdr condos (about 100m2) renting for approx. 10k /month. Furniture certainly nothing flash but lots of space, nice balcony. The one I saw was at the back right - nice view over next door neighbours garden).

codysweet02 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks for the info all. I emailed Richard and he had nothing within 15k a month. I wanted to look at a place in Doi Ping, but has been rented. Does anyone know if they have a leasing office? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eutin45 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 You can go to www.century21lanna.com They have a number of listings for condominiums and are very reliable. All their contracts are minimum one year. If you see anything on their website call Johannes 0810214350 and he can meet you at their office near Airport Plaza.

You could try Chiang Mai Properties, you can do advanced search and they have a pretty good website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelly Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) His website (RIchard) is awful but he has excellent reviews on Trip Advisor. Also, we are renting a furnished apartment from him for 13k a month for 2 months. All of the serviced apartments I could find online were double that. I figure it was a good move, as it's within walking distance of our TEFL classes and finding anything else online was a headache.

gaileforce Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hi. I'm currently living in Doi Ping Mansion and loving it. Two days ago, I saw 2 different 2-bedroom apartments available here (both furnished) -- we were considering moving out of our 1-bedroom into a 2-bedroom but have chosen to stay on the 10th floor But maybe they're rented already. One was 15,000 (6th floor back) ... one was 13,000 (4th floor front). Have you stopped by? Are you already in Chiang Mai? The woman who shows the apartments, her name is Jeep. I don't have a phone number for her, but could get it, I'm sure. Gaile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codysweet02 Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hey Gaile, Thanks for the info. I will be sure to check that out. Can I just drop by the leasing office, do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
