Good Sites To Find An Apartment?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I will be moving to Bangkok from California, USA in the next month, and still have yet to find an apartment. What are some sites that can be used to find an apartment? Anyone have any suggestions in terms of areas?

Thank you!

There are no good sites. They are all riddled with dodgy farang middlemen and their even more dicey "girlfriends" offering places that are at minimum 20% over what you would pay if you rented directly. If its written in English, forget it!

Even if farang are not in the middle, if its written in English you will pay more almost certainly. Online ads give zero reprentation on what is available on flats below 10k, esp 8k.

First, come here. Next find a cheap long stay hotel. Third, start to vet to know the major areas where you might want to live. Finally, return to those areas and simply bang on managers office doors till something turns up.

I also suggest Prakard.com - you can easily choose apartments in the area you want. It's mostly in Thai, but there is an 'expat' forum, there is no fee for people to post there and even if you don't contact people directly from there, you can get a feel for a place and it's merits or problems.
