I thinking to move to Thailand and I want to know how you’re looking for a long term rent. I was living for a 2 month aprox in Bangkok and Chiang Mai (i loved bangkok a lot) but in Airbnb the rent was expensive.
I want a base in Bangkok probablely and visit different places as krabi and so on.
Yeah, for Bangkok especially you shouldn't do Airbnb for long term -- for long term I recommend finding apartments on sites like FazWaz, PropertyHub, etc. Then (very important to avoid getting ripped off) just show up to the buildings you're interested in in person and tell the person at the front desk "Do you have any condos for rent? Could you put me in contact with owners looking to rent their condos?"
Always push to get in contact with an owner directly because agents will take a commission, so the owner will be less willing to negotiate the rent that way.
Sometimes though, the building will require you to work with an agent, and in that case just use the agent recommended by the building -- at least then you know it isn't a scam.
In general, you should expect to pay (for a 1 bedroom condo in a new building with a nice view and amenities):
- ~$900-1000 USD/mo for city center (Phrom Phong, Chit Lom, Phloen Chit, etc) next to a BTS stop
- ~$500-600 USD/mo for slightly outside the city but still convenient (Ekkamai, Phra Khanong, On Nut)
And you can find plenty of stuff around ~$250 USD/mo if you don't care about being in a new building or don't mind being a little farther out
No problem, I'm going to charge for this kind of information (and other info) in my course leavetheus.com but I felt like leaving some free info since you asked nicely
