8 Quick Condo Tours in Bangkok 🇹🇭 Cost of Living Thailand

Рет қаралды 212,357

Жыл бұрын

I'm going house hunting in Bangkok, Thailand. But with a twist. Rapid fire house hunting, where I tour 8 condo rentals and choose one to live in.
That's right, we are ending our nomadic life and it's time to find our new home. And Condo Rentals in Bangkok have changed. So let's see what is out there for $1,000/month, $2,000/month, and $3,000/month and then pick one. Get an idea of Cost of Living in Bangkok and join me for some House Hunters International Action.
Comment below with the one that you'd choose.
And if you are looking to rent or buy and condo in Bangkok, Samui, or Chiang Mai, reach out to RW4U Real Estate at connect@retiredworkingforyou.com and Adam will hook you up with one of our national network of agents here in Thailand.

Well, I wrote emails 2 or 3 times to that address, and nobody ever bothered replying. Not so eager to please, apparently... It seems that RWFY positions itself in the "Sell the Thai Dream abroad" segment of the market. But no issue, there are plenty of serious and professional estate agents keen to work with expats already in Thailand.

I bought a condo in Bangkok in 1998. Best decision I ever made given the discount condos were going for back then due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Very central and within walking distance of 1) a railway station, 2) a BTS station and 3) an Airport Link station. Best thing is that the common area fee, at around THB 2000/month, is a faction of the rent you would pay for a similar condo in the same area.

The 1st 70k a month condo is worth the price with the inside space, wrap around balcony and the amazing view. However, the condo you chose has the dream location so good job Chris ❤

I stayed for a month at Hyde Sukhumwit 11. The units are nice and the 38th floor rooftop pool is the perfect place to watch the sun set over the city. But man, living on soi 11 is a pain. Especially on the weekend or at night, it would take you 30 minutes in a taxi just to get out of the soi, so you have to walk quite a ways away just to save time.

@exalhoa Жыл бұрын

I came here to say this. I spent Dec 2022 there and couldn't wait to leave! Soi 11 is a nice place to visit but not to live imo. I ended up with a year lease in a building right next to Petchaburi MRT, so close enough but out of the mayham

I've been here for 7 months now (language visa) and staying till the end of the year. My plan next time out here is to get a business going but I have to go back to oil and gas for a bit to build that kind of capital for the timeframe I'm looking at. Keep up the videos.

There won’t be any construction to ruin the view unlike other location because there are 2 of the biggest schools located across the canal right opposite this condo. The building is quite new and well kept up and the community is great. facilities are excellent especially, the roof top. Right now, the rent is still fairly inexpensive. highly recommend.
