@MansMan918 Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! A few saying the same lately, no notifications. Not sure wassup

@Ricardo Celli Thanks Ricardo. As I know you're from my home, can you imagine what this would cost in a similar building in Vancouver??? Yikes!

@@SideTripLife lol..yes that place in Yale town or down by the water 1.5-2 million or more.

Please don’t dude, you are going to drive up the competition XD I am going too

@@mrmills1000 how? Those 2 being your neighbors 🤣

Hi Kate, best google 'renthub Bangkok' site, then search for 'Life Asoke Rama 9'. I see studios on there from 12.500 Baht but mostly 15k. Either way, great value, location, amenities etc. Keep in mind these are likely agents looking for a 1 year contract (as they get 1 month commission from a 12 month rental contract). Other option and recommended is AirBnb to try first. Stay for say a week before committing to see if it suits. You may also find better deals from 'inside'. Good luck! STL

Thanks Phil. Around fl 30-ish if I recall. Can gauge the height better when I briefly looked out the window at the view.

@Expat Explorer No worries EE. Unless you're a seasoned investor in the local real estate market already and know the ropes well, perhaps best hold off. But if you typically buy on launch and know the local market well, then up to you as they say. However, if it's a single purchase to live in, best to rent in your desired condo location for at least a few months first, to see if it measures up and suits your lifestyle. Can usually rent month to month on AirBnB etc, at a higher rent but worth it to 'test sleep' a place. Either way, there's a glut of condos for sale on the market thus, no rush. Also I've a feeling Thailand will start to reduce restrictions then open up more and sooner than later so hopefully you can see in person in the not too distant future.

@@SideTripLife I agree with you 100% and it’s hard to beat renting in Thailand with the prices and when you want to leave you just leave. My brother and Uncle live in Thailand and I’m looking to head there for a long stay ASAP. The only reason I’ve thought about buying is the market/prices and I’m bringing a small dog with me which is harder to find a rental.

Yes they do. Just slightly larger 1BR (add a wall) start at 20,000. The bigger 1BR's start at 25,000 up. The studio shown although small (but typical studio size really) at 15K is prob the nicest and best priced unit in the building.

@Tracey Sullivan Thanks Tracey (your comment gets a thumbs up from me;) Not sure why some thumbs down but my style won't be everyone's cup o' tea and that's ok. Cheers!

Renthub

Direct to EGAT/Utility Guv rates. Floor, around 30ish if I recall. Mini Mart across the street, Tesco/Tops 5 min walk. Rental is the standard Bangkok 12 month contract tho.

@MJ It's a Canuck-ism for too many beers etc eh;)

@shane name 32 sqm 1 Br appear to be asking 20K up, depending on low/high floor and block/unblock view

Not sure, around 28 sqm. The slightly bigger 1BR's start at 25,000 up. The unit shown is typical city studio size and at 15K prob the nicest fitted and best priced unit in the building.

Hi, Usually 12 months minimum is the norm. Could try AirBnB for monthly but will be more of course.

@@SideTripLife how can I find out rent for 2 or 3 bedrooms units?

@@longhorn789000 Look up Hipflat or Thai property

Patrick Palmarella Looking at various units online, it appears the smaller studios start from around 2.8 MB /$93k & smaller 1BR's from 3.2 MB/$106k. And as you point to, floor number & view, plus blocked vs unblocked factor greatly as well. Also how each is fitted out. Looked at a few cheaper ones and they were fitted out poorly. The unit shown in my vid was very well designed with quality furnishings, prob the nicest 25 sqm studio in the building. Pls note, I'm not a sales agent, just showing this one for rent plus the building amenities which are truly amazing.

Total cost to own?

Hi MM, due to many requests will go back soon & film a few other units. Cheers

@@SideTripLife thank you

Yes. But I believe it's rented long ago

Common fee, currently 38 baht per sq/m per month (new buildings always price common fees lower as initial fees are less- best to study older similar quality buildings to gauge future rises). Rent term 12 months lease, not incl WiFi, approx 500 B per month on avg.

Looking at various units online, it appears the smaller studios start from around 2.8 MB /$93k & smaller 1BR's from 3.2 MB/$106k. Floor number & view, blocked vs unblocked factor greatly as well. Also how each is fitted out. Looked at a few cheaper ones and they were fitted out poorly and had poor or blocked views. Condo fee is meaningless in new buildings as it's usually set low to attract buyers. Factor around 50-80 baht/$1.50-$2.50 Sq M per month going fwd. Sinking fund fee is a one-time payment factor 500 Baht Sq m. The fund is to offset any major future reno's/fixes. Last, best to firstly RENT at least a few months in any place before buying to live in, to see if it suits one's lifestyle and to gauge how well it is maintained etc. Hope this info helps.

@@SideTripLife Good advice about renting first to see if u like it.

Prices could rise moderately but all throughout this time construction of new condos has continued at pace all over Bangkok. Thus, there's a huge glut of rental inventory across the market. Best track on PropertyHub Life Asoke - Rama 9.

@@SideTripLife Thank you

@Johnny Siam Hi Johnny. Looking at various units online, seems smaller studios start from approx 2.8 MB /$93k & smaller 1BR's from 3.2 MB/$106k. Floor # & view (blocked vs unblocked) matter as well of course.

Renter pays electric at normal direct to Govt/EGAT rate (factor around $50 month if running daily a/c) water is peanuts around 100 baht/$3, owner pays common fee.

@@SideTripLife There are one bedroom apartments in the same building being rented for $350.

​@@jonathanharker6940 For sure prices have dropped across the city due to the 'thing'. But I can't seem to find any 1 Br listings for 11,000 baht? The 1 Br sizes starts at 32 sqm, the rest are variations of studios. Could you pls post links to these 1 Br's?

@@SideTripLife My mistake, studio apartments in this complex start at $345 / 11,000 baht. One bedroom apartments (32 sqm) start at $405 / 13,000 baht. One bedroom plus (35 sqm) go for $565 / 18,000 baht, and two bedroom apartments currently range from $625 / 20,000 baht - $690 / 22,000 baht. $500 for a studio apartment, albeit a nice one, is pretty steep. This is just not Cricket as we say in England, which loosely translated means, somebody is trying to shaft others in order to turn a healthy profit. You'll do well to remember the 11th commandment; thou shalt not be greedy.

The price stated was the price they were asking at time of filming and in line with others at the time. For prob one of the nicest studios in the bldng, with premium quality furnishings and fittings, plus unblocked, high floor view. Again, prices have dropped at this bldng and across the city due to the ongoing situation (but it appears I should have foreseen and factored this months ago...) Still can't find any lisitings for 11k, a couple for 12.5k but nowhere near as nice. Anyways, will leave it there, thank you for your input.

Sorry, no link. But can look on propertyhub th website and search for Life Asoke Rama 9

Note in the Skytrain and in Malls/Shops etc all must wear a mask to enter. At the time this vid was taken there had been zero cases in months. Now with a recent outbreak all are again masked up 100%, indoors/outdoors all doors!

Can try AirBnb

@Sky Dream Sure! For example have a look here, I reviewed some budget priced Bangkok condos: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNNiqLF0lb-laaM.html

Thanks for the the comment & kind suggestion. Actually I've started talking in vids lately due to many requests like this and although I can't stand my own voice, I can't seem to stop talking now! Please see this vid series for example: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bqmFhsR31r2oZqc.html

@@SideTripLife LOL! Totally understand, I never cared for mine either, but seems to be fine for everyone but me... :D Keep up the good work mate.

Don't worry! I've heard your voice by now and it's quite pleasant. That said, I know how you feel about it. Same here.

Just a heads up, the price was for monthly, 12 month contract. Weekly prices would be much higher, if any can be found on AirBnB (brand new building)

I understand that rentals are 1 month minimum. Do you know how much a studio like that would be to rent for only 1 month?

@@SideTripLife Do you have a link to their AirBnB? Thank u

@Greg Buitendyk Actually looks more and more likely they will, just not from countries or areas with high cases. Still hoping more can return and soon.

Agree. I can’t understand why countries don’t adopt the UAE model - test within a few days of leaving and get tested when you land and install a contact tracing app.

Ironically, as 'Moneypenny' might say, sorry James, cannot. If I were the landlord you could but that's not the case unfortunately. Cheers 007

Sure but not with top quality interior or 3 rooftop pools or 3 world class rooftop gyms, unblocked high floor view, 5 min walk to MRT or Airport Link, 2 top malls etc, etc ;)

@@SideTripLife yes it is a good deal

In Sweden this would at least cost 1000$ without the rooftop and furniture... I´m leaving!

Is that directed here or to Mr Busted? LOL! Just kidding. Will copy n paste my response to a similar comment below: -It won't be for everyone but this is larger than most executive studio hotel rooms and with full kitchen, washing machine, etc etc plus with twice as nice amenities, all for a fraction of the price at $500 month. In my home city a similar building and unit would be $2000 month.

Love Hua Hin! Used to live there. Why? Besides living by the ocean, a top reason was the relatively fantastic long-term rental prices. However, living in a top quality condo in centre of Bangkok (btw, avg size of a Bangkok or Hua Hin studio condo) with full kitchen, all appliances incl washing machine, with 3 rooftop pools, 3 rooftop gyms, 5 mins walk to airport link, malls, mrt & all in the city centre, is still a pretty great deal, relatively (Bangkok prices and real estate market completely different to lovely Hua Hin). Anyways, nice you have a great deal there, enjoy:)

Ok, approx $16 day for a top quality 'hotel room' (actually avg size of a Bangkok studio condo) with full kitchen, all appliances incl washing machine, with 3 rooftop pools, 3 world class gyms, 5 mins walk to airport link, malls, mrt & all in the city centre, is that a terrible deal? lol!

Actually, standard studio size in Bangkok. Or, imagine a posh hotel room with full kitchen, washer, balcony, nice view, 3 rooftop pools + 3 world class gyms, 5 min walk to MRT, airport rail + shopping malls, all for approx $16.50 per night. Some might say that's not too bad...

@@SideTripLife I agree, and you have to consider the LOCATION. Great price for all those amenities.
