samsara Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) I've already done my research around the net and found http://chiangmaiproperties.co.th/ to be the best place to look. But seeing as to how I haven't spent much time in CM previously, I'm wondering if any CM pros could advise as to which condos out there are the best for the money. Here's what I'm looking for: 1) 15-20K/month; 2) Need reliable internet access, as my business is online. Ideally, access to both a landline AND Wifi (as a backup). Also, how well do the aircards work in CM and the surrounding areas?; 3) Fully furnished; 4) Western style kitchen/bathroom; 5) Prefer a higher floor (10+); 6) Location is not a real issue; Basically, I'm just wondering if there is a decidedly superior building/complex out there. Or if there's something better than http://chiangmaiproperties.co.th/ for looking around. Edited October 31, 2011 by samsara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Femme Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) http://www.chiangmai...76-floral-condo Floral Condo, Chiang Moi, is a 10+ floor building. Can you stretch your budget a little bit? (why 10+ floor? Flood nightmares? ) Edited October 31, 2011 by Femme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfokevin Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Either of the above will work as you stated "Location is not a real issue"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Newbies often think the higher the floor, the more prestige and the quieter. Wrong! The electric bills are higher because the sun hits the higher floors of a highrise earlier and remains longer in the day. The noise is actually worse than condos at 4th or 5th floor because the trees/buildings buffer noises for people on those floors, but all the noise travels up and can be really bad at higher levels. Our first condo rental was on the 15th floor. We could hear dogs barking from three blocks away and karaoke from three miles away. People on the lower floors of our building didn't have that problem. Plus, we had to wait longer for the elevator when we lived on the 15th floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heybruce Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Try chiangmai riverside condo Yeah, lots of high-end condos near the river. You don't mind being run out by a 100 year flood every five years, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsara Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 You forgot to mention the number of bed/bathrooms you want. 1 bedroom is all i need. 1-2 bathrooms is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
