The Hive is a pretty bad coworking space. Low ceilings, cramped, and bad value for money. Recommend Paper Plane Project (free) or True Digital Park (not free, but very good quality chairs and nice space) instead.
16K thb for rent won't get you anything close to the BTS in Phrom Phong, Thong Lo and you will want to be close to public transport especially on a 2-3 month trip. Also beacuse your time in the country is short, expect to pay a lot of money for rent (2-3x the normal rate) - landlords give the best deals to people who sign for a year, not 2-3 months.
Ultimately, better to look in Phra Khanong, Ekkamai, On Nut with that budget - you'll get more bang for your buck. I like Phra Khanong the best out of all of those neighborhoods, it has a local feel and some very cool markets + a nice nightlife/food area called W District.
Just go on Fazwaz/propertyhub, find buildings you like, then visit in person and ask to work with the owner directly. Don't use agents or if you must, ask the building for their preferred agent to avoid getting scammed. Generally though, agents take a fee from the owner, so you won't get the best deal doing that (owners are less likely to negotiate with you if they're already eating a fee from the agent)
Thanks Ben. I looked into property hub but they all have min 1 year contract. Finding it hard to find apartments in airbnb as well and costs 2x price like you mentioned.
Found one 10 minutes walk from on nut for around $550/mo: www.airbnb.com/rooms/12411785…. You think this is a good deal?

Yes, I would take that. Seems good
Thanks, really appreciate your help.
Just to note from my limited experience: Booking.com can be cheaper even for the same properties, as most of the time they are listed on both sites.
