blasteen Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hi, I'll be visiting BK towards the end of next month for two weeks. I am thinking of renting a one bed room apartment with a kitchen around Sukhumvit for the duration of my stay. I am looking online and there are places for 20-30 dollars a night. The pics look nice online, just want to know if these places look the same as their advertisements?. Would the prices of this places go up if I book later? and any recommendations ?

blasteen Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 I would book a hotel for the two week duration but I need to cook for myself so need to have a kitchen. Are the apartments as bad as geriatrickid is mentioning them to be ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 you could investigate 'serviced apartments' that usually have kitchen facilities...but they tend to be a bit pricy...I got a 2 bed once at Centrepoint for a few nights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiwangirl Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I would think that it would be very difficult to find a one bedroom apartment for only two weeks at the prices you have indicated ($20-$30/night). Most places will want a longer stay, or if a short stay, the price will be higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMA_FARANG Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 You can find clean and decent apartments in the 30 to 40 U.S. dollar per night range for a 2 week stay. But going down under 30 dollars, and you may be disapointed with the results. Especially if you insist on lower Sukhumvit road. Which I refer o as the farang Ghetto area. Kitchen facilities are more costy also. Since tour looking on line look for a place called Tanatawy Places at the URL www.tanataweyolaces.com Whlch does not have kitchen facilities but has a restaurant on the 1st floor. Near the Chinese embessy with easy access to the MRT and the Fortune Mall, Many Chinese quests, security, Thai/Chinese food mainly but some international Will allow 1 or 2 week stays and starts at $24 a night Clean and good WIFI acess.(some rooms may be charged for WIFI access weekly or monthly). NOT on Sukhumvit road but easy access to the MRT system by a Tuk Tuk shuttle service free for guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blasteen Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Thanks for the replies. I think I will be needing the kitchen for sure. I guess 30-40 dollars a night should be fine as long as the place is good. I am thinking of staying close to the MRT around Asok/Nana/phloen chit. any recommendations based on these preferences ?
