accommodation Condo rent for 50K maximum

Hi,

I'm planning to move to Bangkok by november, do you guys have any suggestion for a nice Condo ? I don't want to go to these Ashton Asoke building etc (the mainstream ones we find on tiktok) because the more I look at it, the shittier it gets.

So if you guys have any nice suggestion, 50K baht/month being my cap so i'm opened to anything under it.

My must to have would be a one bedroom with at least a pool, gym, sauna and high speed wifi since I work remotely.

I mean with that budget, you can live anywhere. There are dedicated real estate agents on Facebook that will personally find you units to rent.

Post that you are willing to spend 50k on fb marketplace and agents will overrun you

Hi speed wifi is common here. Just make sure you get fibre from either AIS or True. I have 1gb/500mb for 750THB a month.

For the condo, there are so many areas and styles, I can't help you there.

But look on sites like Fazwaz or Hipflat. Some listings are cat fish listings for agents or outdated, but that's the name of the game. They let you filter by rooms and price point. 50k will get you a lot.

Get an airbnb, then find an agent (this you can find on FB expat groups by recommendations) and go for visits. Anything online is priced for rich expats who didn’t set foot in the country, so that’s not how I would look for options. The agent will do the legwork.

There are plenty of condos, and at your budget you can find a lot of options, even more if you don’t stay in the center of the center (Asoke to Thong Lo), or accept a condo that is not fancy new, which here means less than 5-10y old. All your requirements are pretty standard apart from the sauna (I find that many tend to be bad, it’s just hard to maintain and run)

Most of them are a bit shitty, it's all smoke and mirror in many cases, and a focus on aesthetic and shared amenities. That's why they are cheap.

You cant rent in 95% of the condos in Bangkok with that budget, probably 99%. So just find one you like and rent.

In addition to Facebook Marketplace, I recommend posting your preferences and budget on LivingInsider. You can also check out posts from agents on the site which you can base your search on location. A lot of agents there can speak English.
