NanLaew Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Bangkok isn't like homogenized Singapore where you can live just about anywhere you want regardless of work location. Where you will be working in Bangkok will pretty much dictate where you want to live... and your salary as well of course. Welcome to the Big Mango anyway.

FireMedic Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I would say for your first year to live close to your work while you are getting comfortable with your surroundings. Eventually, you will keep expanding your territory and in no time you will have everything down just fine. Keep your wits about you like anywhere else and it will be ok.

NanLaew Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Your work is on the east side of town, basically north of the airport so lodging on the west side of Lat Krabang but still east of the Highway 9 (ring road) and you could use the Airport Express as a fast-track to and from the city.

Bangkokhatter Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) You have to make the choice, live in town and commute out to Lad Krabang or visa versa. Am not too far from Lad Krabang. I made the decision to stay near work. Unfortunately most of us travel to work more than travel for fun. Its not that far though whatever you decide.
