Bangkok Budget Apartment Guide

A guide to over 400 apartments and condominium properties for rent in Central Bangkok

As a foreigner arriving in Bangkok, finding suitable (and affordable) apartments can be a huge undertaking. The backpacker rooms available in every Soi seem cramped & squalid, and the large serviced condos seem pretentious and overpriced.

Good properties below 30,000 Baht per month just aren’t found easily. Owners find it unnecessary to advertise as there is a ready demand, and agents are more interested in the higher commissions.

This book is designed to give you access to most of the interesting Bangkok properties in this price range. Aimed primarily at rents from 8,000 Baht upwards, we have included some rooms as low as 3,000 Baht where we felt it worth mentioning. Every listing shows a photo of the property to give a real impression, and all under 30,000 baht.

Thai advertising doesn’t conform to internationally recognized trade descriptions, and beautiful pictures of properties can bear little resemblance to the reality. ‘5 minutes walk to the BTS’ can be a grueling half hour down a narrow Soi, the beautiful photo of a condo with parkland in front is actually a petrol station, and ‘24 hour security’ can be left to the local Soi dogs.

Bangkok Budget Apartment Guide features over 400 properties showing their address, phone number, price guide and approximate room sizes. We also give a personal opinion.

Detailed city maps are also featured, and an accurate computer map CD of Bangkok showing the exact locations of the properties can be ordered online.

We also feature PN maps and all their map products covering all Thailand. Local Thai maps, larger area maps, and full country maps are available in many formats.
