Places to live near Kaewnawarat Road


Recommended Posts

Just looking for some suggestions on places to live near Kaewnawarat Road budget up to about THB 10,000 per month but happy to go with something for THB 5,000 if reasonable. Can any members give me an indication of the sort of place I could get for this price range please? Any names of places, etc would be most helpful. I was thinking of the area on the right-hand side of the road as you go towards the bus station. Would prefer somewhere before you get to the hospital. and Dara school.

Many thanks

Consider BaanSongJum for a medium-term option. It's a delightful homestay down a quiet soi, exactly opposite Rimping Condo. While not exactly on Kaew Nawarat Road, it's probably near enough for your needs. There are 4 fan rooms (450B/day) and 4 a/c rooms (550B) on either side of a charming teak house. I believe the owner will negotiate medium- to long-term monthly rates which are within your budget. That includes utilities so once you agree a rate, you don't worry about any other house costs.

When I was last there 1/2 year ago, a young American couple were renting the little house at the back of the garden. They teach in different schools and there's plenty of space for scooters. If they're no longer there. that would be a nice private corner in a very large property.

Lovely hangout area under the house. Very strong WIFI. No private kitchen for you, but the landlady is flexible with you cooking in the main kitchen. She's a friendly, generous landlady which is why I stay there on my visits to Chiang Mai.

Stay around the area for a few days before you decide to rent long-term. I think you will be disappointed. Every day, twice a day there is a bottle neck from traffic, horrible exhaust from all the songtaews sitting in traffic, children crossing the street, people cutting each other off as they turn into the bus station, etc. About a week ago I rode a songtaew from near Prince Royal to the Super Highway and it took 25 minutes! I also felt dizzy and nauseous from the exhaust.

Thanks all for replies. I know the area well just not from a house/apartment rental point of view. Now being in England at present I can't go round there and look about hence my post here.
