Renting an Affordable Apartment in Bangkok

When looking for a low cost apartment to rent in Bangkok, bear in mind that basic accommodation in the city consists of a single studio room apartment with no kitchen. On the plus side, you get an en-suite bedroom and balcony so you can enjoy the wonderful view of the city. Two bedroom apartments on the other hand will normally have a kitchen and even the cheapest apartments in Bangkok will be in clean buildings with secure key card doors and a security guard.

Areas to Rent Apartments in Bangkok

When you look for a Bangkok apartment to rent, location is of paramount importance but don’t be too

obsessed with the centre of the city. The BTS skytrain and MRT underground transport systems mean that you can find a cheap apartment away from the city and still have easy access to all the facilities and amenities. Here’s a look at some well-known neighbourhoods to consider:

·         Ari: This area is very popular with expats from the west and it is in close proximity to the local sky train station and is also within 10 minutes of downtown Bangkok. It is filled with trendy shops, cafes and restaurants and also features branches of every Thai bank. It is possible to get a good deal here since apartments in Ari are usually priced between downtown and north Bangkok levels.

·         Lat Phrao: This area is just minutes from downtown Bangkok and houses/apartments can be half the price of what you would pay in uptown Bangkok. Again, you are only minutes from a sky train station and close to various facilities such as a Cineplex, large supermarkets and a seemingly infinite amount of restaurants.

·         On Nut: This area is close to the Bearing sky train system while there are also motorcycle taxi ranks

near apartments in On Nut. Living here also places you near Paradise Park, a school, hospital and various restaurants serving delicious local food.

Remember, the public transport system in Bangkok is extremely impressive so bear that in mind before spending a lot of money on an apartment in the centre of the city.
