Best Digs For Around 10K Niman. Road ?

[freedomnow]

Can anyone suggest best digs for around 10k Baht per month Niman. Road area please ?

1-bed or big studio I guess. I like low-rise about 5 floors...cosier.

Is it too noisy there ? Best to be 1 KM away etc ?

I live in the neighborhood now, and don't really find it to be all that noisy, except on Friday night. You can live in PK Mansion for 6K a month, and never even hear a gecko. If you try, you can site yourself near an after-hours bar, but why bother? There are a lot of decent facilities available in Nimman, all at good prices, and many well-insulated from the night life.

Think I'll just foot soldier around there when I arrive.Staying 3KM away first month.Best just to see in person.

6k a month? That is great .Must be a year or 6-month lease and less that 45m2 ?

Like a veranda myself, wifi a must and a bit bigger.......wooden floors always a bonus but it seems it is ceramic mortuary tiles all the way in LOS....and no cooking facilities in studios. What's that about ? Yes, food is cheap but it is always nice to slap up some of your own recipes now and again!

You can buy a small rice cooker, slow cooker and electric frying pan, with steamer, put them on a table or something by the window. Combine with a microwave and juicer and you'll be amazed at what you can cook up..

Let's summarize. The OP wants a relatively large apartment with a balcony, wifi, and a kitchen. It has to be quiet and preferably with wooden floors. All for 10k baht.

That's a lot of requirements in the most expense part of the city. Some compromise is going to be necessary.

Good luck.

Probably more a case of not having gas for safety. The more expensive places may have electric hobs.

It's certainly the most pretentious area.
