good neighbourhoods in Bangkok? by miss.chriss
Hey guys! new here, and planing to move to thailand in 9 months. I know it is still some time away, and things can change, but i like to be prepared :) I've visited Bangkok a few times, always staying in apartments in Sukhumvit area, right near ...
Expect 500 bath per square meter without utilities 18.000 thb should be no problem finding a condo near a bts. It really doesn't matter where you stay in Bangkok, as long its near bts and got good options nearby. You can start renting a serviced ... Read More
Taxi Problems in Bangkok by allreadytogo21
Hi people I am in Bangkok at the moment and i find the taxi system complete joke. I have been here 6 times before and it was bad all these times i came here, but especially this time. Every time i ask a tuk tuk for a taxi they say 200bath when the ...
Just ask if they want to go xxx, if not take the taxi just behind, should be plenty of taxies here! Reasons why taxi drivers refuse trips: 1. They are used to stay at the tourist areas, where they wait for a falang asking "how much to xxx" = ... Read More

Moving companies for relocation Paris --> Bangkok. Suggestions? by globetrotter
We need quotes from three different (reliable) moving companies to move our belongings from France (near Paris) to Bangkok. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks for your replies!
Sea freight or air freight? Unless they have to pack your things into the cartons I have no idea, but if only transporting from A to B, I might come up with some suggestions. Anyway, try to pack all on pallet and wrap the outside so they cannot see ... Read More

My family (husband, 2,5 year old son and me) is moving to Bangkok for 6 to 7 months from September 2012 until mid-March 2013. I need to find a good international school for my son who will be 3 years old by then. Any suggestions? Also we are ...
Globetrotter, I have never been to Beverly Hills, US so I can't make the comparison. However Thonglor and Ekkamai are where there are some high-end restaurant and few clubs. However still a lot of local people and daily life in this area. The ... Read More
Accommodation in bangkok by ananya
Hey there, I'll be staying in bangkok for three months during an internship. I was wondering how safe is the Bang Kapi area to stay in? Also, I've found a couple of places online that fit my budget and other requirements. But I'm still not sure how ...
I can't help you here, maybe someone else can. When I was looking it was near the BTS areas. I doubt there are many agents dealing with housing under 10.000 thb, specially in that area. First link is in English, second is in Thai so you probably ... Read More

Straydog answered most of your question, but I can only emphasize looking for a condo near the BTS/Airport link/MRT + expressway exit. You probably wants to get around the city by yourself while your husband is working. The traffic is horrible in ... Read More

Ananya, you have to think about what your priorities are. You are only going to stay for 3 months, most places requires 12 months contracts, some 6 months contracts. If only 3 month, I think you have to look for a serviced apartment, or if you find ... Read More
