Guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Hello all you stinking rich farangs and doctors! Always travelling on low budgets I aim at the lower end of the accommodation market. 1500 per night is NOT an option for me. I am looking for a cheap, air cooled apartment in the Lad Plao area with a monthly rent at about 5.000 THB. Any tips? Thanx Dryson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is about what they pay. Who knows, perhaps you can share a room with one of the lovelies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 I think you will find that the majority of bargirls will stay in a place thats aboiut 2500 baht per month AND they will share withe 2 or 3 others. For 5000 baht you can get a reasonable place. Try Sailom apartments on Soi Sailom, (Paholyothin Soi 8) on the same side as villa supermarket and with an internet cafe in the ground floor..I have a few friends staying there and i would say it is one of the better places in that price range. Its also handy for the skytrain. [ May 21, 2001: Message edited by: Roger ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirit_of_town_hall Posted May 24, 2001 Report Share Posted May 24, 2001 When you rent an apartment in BKK, do you have to give a months bond/deposit. Also do you have to have a work permit to rent an apartment. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 25, 2001 Report Share Posted May 25, 2001 Spirit of town, I would not know why you should have a work permit. I have one, but never asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also do you have to have a work permit to rent an apartment. Thanks No work permit required but you will be asked for a deposit of from 1 to 3 months rent (this was my experience in looking for a lease term of 1 year). The norm is 1 month rent as deposit. If they ask for three months (rarely)it can be negotiated downward unless they really are not interested in renting to you (or so I have been told). Also, rents are apparently still highly negotiable. I was told to expect a discount of 10-35% off of the initial asking price. I got a one year lease at about 30% off the market asking price. One other thing that suprised me was the landlord did not ask for copy of my passport or anything else to identify me. However, I had been referred by a mutual friend so I guess that was why no need to id. [ May 28, 2001: Message edited by: gene1944 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion76 Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Try Ratchadapisek Soi 3, go all the way to the back untill you get to the end and then turn right. There's about 6 buildings there that have aircon rooms for 3000 - 6000 bht per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
