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 ...
I tried doing that by myself. It's hard, plus it's hot. After looking at three condo's, all totally misrepresented in their ad's, I started looking at the big serviced condo's in the tall buildings. i liked what I saw after one. By the time I looked ... Read More

Coming to Bangkok by latersbra
If all goes as planned. I'll be moving to Bangkok in May. I'm just starting to research the city and what might be great places to live, though it's a tad bit confusing. I won't be tied to a job and am looking to keep my rent below 15,000 baht. As ...

Good to know, Trang. Thanks. It's important to me that I have fast internet all the time. I heard with apartments or serviced apartments, it's limited. I also heard with condo's, there's often no internet and I must hook it up myself, which means ... Read More

Hi Kenthz, Thanks for your feedback. I'll probably focus my search on the Sukhumvit area all the way to On Nut. I know it's a large area. The other areas I might consider is around Victory Monument and Silom area. I got a hotel for the first week ... Read More

Hey Vince, Thanks for the info. From what I can tell, Thong Lo is a road connecting Sukhumvit and Thanon Phetchaburi, right? If so, where along it did you live? It seem like a cool area, in between those two roads. Read More

Moving to Bangkok by latersbra
Hi all, I'm seriously thinking about moving to Bangkok in a month or so. I say "thinking" because mentally I'm still trying to accept that to do this, I will need to liquidate my things and basically cut my roots off from the city I live in. I've ...
