Recommendations On Where To Live?

[ForumUsername]

Hey all,

I'm looking to find a nice apartment near Nimmanhaemin / Huay Kauw area as I will be needing to go here twice a week. I've just read another thread about bad experiences in the HK area so would appreciate any advice.

Requirements:

- Modern

- Two bedrooms (one for an office)

- Can get good internet

My budget is unlimited, but I don't want to pay more than I have to. Let's say 30K is my top budget.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Huge bonus if there's a gym (just need weights, not running machines) on site too. That would be perfect.

18k per month for new 2 bedroom FF top floor condo sound ok?

Western kitchen, 10 mins walk to NH, no gym but all new and clean, mainly farang tenants.

{ I live here, no financial interest.}

Hi Rob,

Sounds perfect. Where do I have to go?

Wow! I've spent all my LIFE looking for someone with an unlimited budget. If i give you info here for free, how about we start our lonnnng relationship with dinner at Le Coq d'Or? Jai Bin, of course!

Hillside Condo has a gym but is dark, has tiny lifts which break down all the time, and on the windward side has rain blowing in through the window frames.

And any closer to the University than that and you'll be surrounded by loud student parties on a regular basis.

And the traffic is appalling, so you'd better cycle or jog everywhere. At 98 deg in the shade.

Nope.

Try Changklan, but be sure to have your rowing boat ready for the annual floods.

Sooooo, welcome to condoland, Chiang Mai!

I am still waiting for a answer from kaptainrob.

I wonder what the square footage is there also. I myself like a large general room.

Replied via PM to the OP.

2 bed apartment is on top floor in our 6 storey new condo near Wat Suan Dok. 63m2. Western kitchen, balcony, FF and serviced. 18k/month dealing direct with building owner or 20k via REAgency.

The living area/kitchen is all in one, and approx 30m2. NB: I have no financial interest, just passing on info in same way as we found this place. Been here a month and it's central, clean and quiet - surprising since so close to CNX, yet aircraft noise is almost non -existant except for Military jets.

I live at Nam Phrae, Hang Dong and previously at a village called Darawade behind Big C, Hang Dong,. right on the inner marker of the CNX runway.

Although I acknowledge that after working for an international airline for 30 years and clocking up more that 4 million miles, I maybe a little less sensitiive - I am disturbed as many are by aircraft noise - but CNX is nothing compared to living on the threshold of LHR Heathrow. The worst that I can think of at CNX was China airways taking off with a full payload a 0200.

Oh well

music to my ears!

music to my ears!

I was surprised by lack of noise when told about the location by an expat already residing here. CNX has ~ 60 aircraft movements per day and with 90% southerly departures we only hear the odd full pay-load spooling up down this end. I imagine you get more T/O noise down Hang Dong way.

LHR is tad busier, no? ;)
