2 Thailand Condos Under $500: Which One Would You Choose? Come on let us know!

[@cplpcl8565]

Miss Salena is sweet her personality is great

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

thanks for the positive comments!

[@daynevickers1079]

Celine is the perfect 'hostess', bright, cute and a great sense of humor. Ok, I would have a hard time choosing between these two, they're both excellent values, but I'd probably go with the first one, as it has a separate work space which would come in handy. Thanks for the tour, guys, well done!

[@sbccdc]

Celine is so lovely! She is perfect for presentations. Love the condo.❤

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Celine truly has a natural talent for showcasing properties-her energy and charm make every presentation so engaging! ❤ Glad you loved the condo too; it’s always nice when the presenter and the property are a great match. What stood out most to you about the condo? 😊

[@sbccdc]

@@perfecthomeschiangmai I really liked the first condo as it had a perfect room for a work office and the kitchen was the best. Say hello to Celine for me😊 I will be moving to Thailand early part of next year.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

That’s so exciting-you’re going to love Thailand! 😊 I’ll be sure to pass along the hello to Celine! She’ll be thrilled to hear it. If you need any help finding the perfect place when you arrive, feel free to reach out to us at perfecthomes.co.th.

[@paulbradshaw6916]

Great, thanks, really enjoyed it!

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sandratye9811]

Perfect Homes always present the best condos. The older buildings seem to be lovely, much more spacious, and a great value. (just missing a pool). I will definitely have to contact you prior to my arrival this year. Just awaiting my passport!

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 You’re absolutely right-older buildings often have that extra space and charm, and they’re usually a great value. Missing a pool can be a downside, but there are always options to suit every preference. We’d be thrilled to help you find the perfect place when you’re ready! Feel free to email us at **[e-mail]** once your plans are set, and we’ll make sure to assist you before your arrival. Are you leaning toward a condo in the city, or something a little quieter on the outskirts? 😊

[@sandratye9811]

​@@perfecthomeschiangmai Thank you for the email connection. I've been watching a lot of RE company videos and I believe perfecthomes is the right RE company for me. But you're right about a pool. I think that is a requirement in Thailand long term. I lean more towards a quieter, but convenient location, since I don't drive a motorcycle! LOL. I appreciate your time.

[@roberttee9790]

Wow perfect Best smile, eyes, fun personality! 😍😃 Oh... Right. Condos were nice also. Like the bigger size. I'm sure both are very popular.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Celine definitely brings so much charm and energy to the videos-it’s hard not to notice! 😄😍 Glad you liked the condos too; the bigger size really does offer great flexibility for different lifestyles. If you had to pick, what’s the most important feature for you in a condo-size, location, or something else? 😊

[@Miew-v1j]

Perfect presentation! Condo is lovely ❤

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thanks! It really is a lovely condo. What did you like most about it? 😊

[@jayguru6939]

Classic and entertaining.. great size condo

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@darkmattersproject2951]

Must say both units are spectacular. Hard choice. That huge bedroom was unbelievable for Thailand. But having an extra room is more practical. Plus that balcony was awesome. I will tell you why number 1 is better Two bathrooms. A oven. The ability to watch tv from the kitchen. Bigger balcony. Extra room. Better view. Maybe even less bugs lol. That ground level is big central. Lastly. Less noise Really hard choices. Lastly your coworker is cute. But she’s no Miss Paeng 😘.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Wow, you’ve really weighed the pros and cons of both units carefully! It sounds like Unit 1 ticks all the practical boxes for you-especially with the bonus of two bathrooms, an oven, and that bigger balcony. You’re absolutely right, ground level can sometimes mean more critters, so being higher up is a nice perk too! 😊 Miss Paeng is quite a fan favorite, isn’t she? 😊 Which feature would you say is the ultimate dealbreaker when deciding between properties like these?

[@Potterthepattayaperv]

I prefer the 2nd one, it looks much bigger.​@@perfecthomeschiangmai

First 2 seconds was a creative, cinematic opening sequence.

[@mancello]

Nice size apartment. She's super cute.❤

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

It really is a nicely sized apartment-plenty of room to make it your own! 😊 And yes, Celine’s energy and charm make the tour so enjoyable. ❤ What did you like most about the apartment itself? The space, the layout, or something else?

[@rungthipbradshaw7218]

I like the first condo.... thanks for the property tour!

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

You’re very welcome! 😊 The first condo is a great choice-such a nice layout and features. Are you looking for a place in Chiang Mai, or just enjoying browsing for now?

[@onsenguy]

what a warm and lovely smile. oh, and Celine looks good too. ☺️

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Haha, you are right-Miss Celine has that natural glow. 😊

[@deolivares]

I always like your videos. Detailed and thorough. Celine's the best. We will be seeking her out when we move there in about 6 months and are looking for a place to rent.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching our videos! We're thrilled to hear you enjoy them, and Celine will be so happy to know she’s made such a great impression. 😊 We’d love to help you find the perfect rental when you move to Chiang Mai! Do you already have a specific area or type of property in mind?

[@Mikeycambovideos]

For the price, those places are amazing. In the Philippines a studio shoe box, they put a divider next to the bed and list it as a 1-bedroom. But those places in Thailand are huge. 👍🏻

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

You’re absolutely right-Thailand offers fantastic value for the space, especially compared to some other places in the region like the Philippines. The layouts here really give you room to breathe and make the space your own. 👍🏻 What features do you think make Thai condos stand out the most compared to what you’ve seen elsewhere? 😊

[@samharbarger432]

Miss Celine does a very good job in the videos in her English. She’s really well understand everything she’s got a great personality and really why your top agent I believe and she’s always happy. Think if I was choosing one of the townhouses or condos. I think I’ve picked the second one it just seemed like it had a little bit better finishing.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Miss Celine really does shine, doesn’t she? 😊 Her personality, excellent English, and cheerful attitude make her such a joy to watch-and you’re right, she’s fantastic at what she does! The second condo is a solid choice, especially with its thoughtful finishing touches. Were there specific features that stood out most for you, or was it just the overall vibe of the space?

[@markholland6657]

aww, she's so sweet.. but down the business... nice kitchen!!! very handy being a chef. something I definitely need when I move out there!! is there a pool and gym though?? plenty balcony space for a BBQ, nice!!!

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thank you for the lovely comment! Celine’s sweetness really does shine through. 😊 A good kitchen is a must-have for any chef, and it sounds like this one would suit your needs perfectly. The balcony space definitely has BBQ potential-it’s a great bonus! but this building does not have a pool or a gym. would that be a deal breaker for you?

[@pauljacobs4302]

#1 for sure. But love the size of both.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Great choice with #1-it really stands out! 😊 Both condos have impressive space, which is such a rare find these days. What about #1 won you over? Was it the layout, the features, or something else?

[@pauljacobs4302]

@@perfecthomeschiangmai liked the open floor plan with real couch & loveseat and , of course, the western style kitchen with oven.

[@PhillipWilliams-p1t]

Nice unit, but is the washing machine a dryer combo?

[@PassportsandPostcards]

I would take the first unit because the extra workspace can also be used if you have a guest. The Second unit has a bedroom too big.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Great choice! The first unit really offers that flexibility with the extra workspace-it’s always handy for guests or even just some quiet time. 😊 The second unit does have a spacious bedroom, but it’s not everyone’s priority. What would you use the extra space in the first unit for most-an office, a guest area, or something else?

[@paulsandford3345]

I can cook. My specialty is fried rice and any Mexican food!😊😊

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Having the right kitchen setup makes all the difference for cooking up delicious meals.

[@jimvega842]

Nice presentation and Miss Celine is a very pretty young and she's a good hostess. I prefer the first unit it has a more logical layout with an office space (important ). The unit seems to be bigger in size which for visitors would make a good first impression. I like that it's up on the seventh floor with a good view. Hopefully when I go next year Perfect Homes will have a similar or better offering. 😄

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thank you for the kind words! Celine truly has a knack for making these tours engaging and enjoyable. 😊 The first unit really does have a smart layout, and having that office space is such a bonus for both work and functionality. Being on the seventh floor with a view definitely adds to its charm, too. We’d love to help you find something similar-or even better-when you visit next year! Is there any specific feature you’d want to prioritize, like balcony space or additional amenities? 😊

[@WilliamFluery]

I chose the one that comes with Celine!!! 😅 I like the first Unit for the extra room. The cost is no problem for me. I would climb the 7 flights of stairs to stay in good shape.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Haha, Celine really does make these tours unforgettable! 😅 Great choice with the first unit-having that extra room definitely adds flexibility, whether for guests, work, or hobbies. And climbing seven flights daily? That’s dedication to staying fit! 💪 What would you use the extra room for-an office, guest room, or something else? 😊

[@WilliamFluery]

@@perfecthomeschiangmai I am a Day Trader so I would use the second room to set up my trading station to buy and sell stocks. I would need to make sure the internet is fast which is necessary for my work. Regarding staying fit. I walk 13K every other day and I only eat meat, eggs, fish and non-starchy vegetables. I lost 73 lbs, got off 7 medications, had the best blood test results ever and my mind is much sharper

[@cplpcl8565]

So far, the first one wow i been checking out a lot on utube this is the biggest at that price.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

It’s hard to beat the space and price of the first one-definitely a standout compared to many others you’ve seen on KZbin! It’s great when you find a condo that feels like a solid value for the money. 😊 What would you do with all that extra space-set up an office, a hobby area, or maybe just enjoy the roomy feel?

[@DeborahEvans-r2v]

I'd pick the second.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Great choice! The second condo has such a cozy vibe and offers great value for what you’re getting. 😊 Was there a specific feature that sealed the deal for you, or was it the overall feel of the space?

[@TenYen4796]

Very lucky lady because I can cook 😀

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

That’s a great skill to bring to the table-literally! 😂😂😂

[@johnrencher442]

Both could work, so nice to see space for relaxing and entertaining… They both look clean and well maintained… I think the second one for me, I don’t have to be way up on a high floor… The price is phenomenal… is there a pool??? Common working areas….??? Thanks for sharing…

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

It’s great to hear both units could work for you, and the second one sounds like it fits your lifestyle perfectly! Being on a lower floor definitely has its perks, especially if you prefer quick access to amenities. The price really is impressive for what’s offered! this condo only has a restaurant on the ground floor an no other facilities. Do pools or co-working spaces make a big difference in your decision-making? 😊

[@staticoverplastic7456]

How prone is the access road to the condo to flooding? Not talking about the once in a few years type floods - Chiangmailand Rd parallel to it regularly floods to knee level during heavy rain. Nice sized condos for the price.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

This building does flood in the every few years as you mentioned but as for the heavy rains I have never heard of any issues. Chang Klan is not bad for that type of flooding. Not like Nimman.

[@steppaboss]

​@@perfecthomeschiangmaiWhat does building flooding means🤔 Does water comes inside and how long after does water clears away.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

The lobby flooded for a few days in the last floods a few months back, but it cleared up in a few days, it was not nice, but Chiang Mai is used to it and knows how to handle it. It was quite the adventure for many.

[@WilliamFluery]

Does the Extractor Fan actually exhaust outside the unit?

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Great question! Yes, the extractor fans in our condos are designed to vent air outside the unit, ensuring proper ventilation and maintaining fresh air indoors. This feature is especially helpful in kitchens or bathrooms where good airflow is essential. Is there a particular condo you're considering or any other features you’d like to know more about? 😊

[@RobertRodriguez-d1s]

Selena I love both. But l will like Condo number 1 better.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Great choice! Condo number 1 definitely has a lot going for it-especially with the extra room and versatile layout. Selena will be thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour! 😊 What stood out most to you about Condo 1-was it the space, the layout, or something else?

[@JaydenWilliams-f6v]

You did not bleep that out sir! Hahaha that was very cute of her. The bird....poos. I do prefer the 1st one better. Not only can it be used as office space but I have a child so I would make that a actual bedroom for him. Also the kitchen is bigger (More space and I LOVE to cook). There is also two bathrooms easy no waiting for someone else to get done. The closet in the master is PLENTY enough. If you really need a office setup I'm sure you could find a small space in the master bedroom for it or possibly in the living room. Also that balcony! I can image on good days you could set up a good place to eat and enjoy the views (although I do personally like the green views better). =)

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

ooops sorry! LOL It’s great to hear the first option resonates with you, especially with its versatility for both work and family needs. A larger kitchen is always a win for someone who loves to cook, and having two bathrooms really does make life easier. The balcony sounds like a perfect spot for relaxing meals or some quiet time with a view-especially on those sunny Chiang Mai days. Do you have a favorite kind of view you'd love to wake up to-lush greenery, cityscapes, or maybe something else?

[@JaydenWilliams-f6v]

@@perfecthomeschiangmai Lush greenery for sure. A water feature off in the distance perhaps?

[@lorraine725]

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thank you for your kind words about Miss Celin! 😊 She’ll be thrilled to hear that you noticed her intelligence and sweet personality. Did you enjoy the properties she showcased in the video as well? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

[@DarronSmithBahamianMillionaire]

That first unit with the large kitchen with a large oven had me sold since I had not seen many with an oven and I bake my bread so that would do great! The space is amazing but you guys showed no amenities! is there a gym and a pool and that would be awesome and for me the concern of high speed internet for working online, That is a concern for most foreigners and thus my interest in Bangkok! So my recommendation is to always talk about the area to shopping the ability and cost to get high speed internet and then amenities is of the main concerns! Great video!

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback-those are all excellent points! 😊 The first unit with the large kitchen and oven is definitely a rare find in Thailand, and perfect for someone like you who loves baking bread. The space is indeed impressive, but you're right that knowing about amenities like a gym, pool, and access to high-speed internet is essential for making an informed decision. For context, most condos in Chiang Mai, including this one, offer amenities like gyms and pools, but it’s always best to double-check. High-speed internet is widely available here, and providers often offer packages up to 1 Gbps for working online, which is a major perk for digital nomads. Bangkok has a lot going for it, but Chiang Mai is a great option for a quieter, more affordable lifestyle. Would you be open to visiting both cities to compare options, or are you set on Bangkok for now? 😊

[@shelahstanford1091]

I would take the 1st one, it's higher up and an extra room.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Great choice! Higher floors often come with better views, and that extra room is such a bonus for added flexibility. 😊 Are you looking for something similar to the first property, or are there other features you’d like to prioritize?

[@terryfletcher9884]

Either one I would be happy with but if I had to choose it would be the second one because of the hot water heater in the shower without the tub. I can't wait to travel to Chaing Mai in 2026 after I recover from my knee replacement surgery. I'm looking forward to having someone from Perfect Homes help me find a gem like these two units.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

That’s such a thoughtful choice-hot water and a walk-in shower really do make life more convenient, especially post-surgery! 😊 Chiang Mai will be an amazing destination to relax and enjoy after your recovery, and we’d be thrilled to help you find the perfect place when you’re ready. Do you have any particular features or locations in Chiang Mai that you’re already dreaming about for your new home? 😊

[@terryfletcher9884]

​@perfecthomeschiangmai All your videos are very informative, and I enjoyed them you give us so many choices along with a wide variety of price ranges. With that being said I'll be coming in the low season so the price range I'm looking for is $500- $600 dollars. I prefer the older buildings like the one you featured in this video because of the size they offer. What I would like to have is a two bedroom with a walk-in heated shower, a balcony with a great view, an oven but if not it's ok not a deal breaker and finally in a great location easily accessible to mall and street food vendors.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! 😊 It’s great to hear you’ve enjoyed the videos and found them helpful. Older buildings are a fantastic choice-they really do offer unmatched space compared to newer ones, and your budget of $500-$600 is very realistic for a two-bedroom in Chiang Mai, especially during the low season. A walk-in heated shower, a balcony with a view, and proximity to malls and street food vendors are definitely attainable features. While ovens aren’t super common, there are units that include them, or you can easily add a countertop model if needed. When you’re ready to make the move, we’d be happy to help you find something that checks all these boxes! Are there any specific neighborhoods in Chiang Mai that you’re considering? 😊

[@terryfletcher9884]

@perfecthomeschiangmai Thanks for your feedback. No particular neighbor in mind since I do not know the area. I'll leave that up to you guys since you're the expert. I trust your judgment as long as I'm centrally located to the malls, night market, and movie theater. I look forward to working with you, Simon, and all the lovely girls at Perfect Homes to find me my new home in Chiang Mai. God bless you all

[@FrankGiles-p8s]

I liked the 2nd more open

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Great choice! 😊 An open layout really makes a place feel bright and spacious. Did the location or any particular feature of the second one catch your attention?

[@LarryFournillier]

Enjoyed looking at both units and the prices are ideal. Btw, let Ms. Ceilene know that I'm a Chef and I can cook both Asian and Caribbean cuisines.😊

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

That’s awesome-you’re clearly a talented chef! 😊 With those skills, I bet you’d make any condo feel like home, especially with a kitchen setup that suits your style. I’ll bet Celine would be impressed by your culinary expertise, especially with that mix of Asian and Caribbean flavors. Do you think either of these condos has the kitchen space you’d need to whip up your signature dishes? 🍜🌴

[@LarryFournillier]

@perfecthomeschiangmai they definitely have the space! I do love the first unit, it has a large stove top and an oven - huge plus! However, I am also loving the second unit -massive bedroom! I've been watching your channel for a while and I've been impressed with the properties you've showcased! Keep up the good work and let Ms. Celine know that I make an awesome Som Tum.😊

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thank you for the kind words and for sticking with the channel-it means so much to us! 😊 Both units have their perks, and it sounds like you’ve got a great eye for what makes a home stand out. A proper stove top and oven are such a rare find, especially in Asia, and that massive bedroom in the second unit is definitely a dream for anyone who loves space! We’ll absolutely let Celine know about your Som Tum skills-I bet she’d be excited to try it! What’s your secret ingredient for making it extra delicious? 😊

[@LarryFournillier]

@@perfecthomeschiangmai yes, it would be ideal if the kitchen in the first unit was located in the second unit, but life isn't perfect. However, keep showcasing those great properties!

What are the requirements for foreigners' renting for a year or 2 since i have heard that we can not own property over there?😊

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Great question! 😊 Renting in Thailand as a foreigner is straightforward, and long-term rentals, like a year or two, are a popular option. Here’s what you’ll generally need to get started: ### **Rental Requirements for Foreigners:** 1. **Passport Copy**: You’ll need to provide a copy of your passport with your visa page. 2. **Deposit**: Typically, landlords require a refundable security deposit (usually equal to 1-2 months’ rent) plus the first month’s rent upfront. 3. **Lease Agreement**: A written lease agreement outlining the terms, duration, and conditions of the rental. 4. **Proof of Income (Optional)**: Some landlords might ask for proof of income or ability to pay, but this is less common for shorter leases. 5. **Utility Setup**: Utilities like water and electricity may require deposits or registration in your name, depending on the landlord. ### **Ownership Restrictions in Thailand:** You’re correct-foreigners cannot own land outright in Thailand, but you can purchase a condo in your name, provided that no more than 49% of the building is foreign-owned. Renting, however, has no restrictions, making it an easy option for long-term stays. If you’re considering renting for a year or two in Chiang Mai, feel free to email us at [e-mail] for more details or assistance. Do you already have an idea of the kind of property or neighborhood you’d like? 😊

Great choice-Galare Thong is a popular spot with a lot of character just of Chang Klan road.

[@Patrick-kr2wg]

was there a pool

[@cplpcl8565]

Second is nice too but the kitchen too close

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

That’s a good point-the kitchen being so close might make the space feel a bit cramped or less defined. The second unit has its charm, but the layout can definitely influence how comfortable and functional it feels for day-to-day living. 😊

[@Mrpatrickh]

Washer in the bedroom and no stove?! Yeah the first one for me!

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Haha, fair point-washer in the bedroom and no stove isn’t everyone’s cup of tea! The first one does have a more traditional layout that works for many. What’s your take on must-have features for a condo-anything that’s a dealbreaker for you? 😊

What area is this bldg in? What’s the contact info for my future ref? Thank You

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

The Galare Thong Condo is located in the Chang Khlan area of Chiang Mai, which is a fantastic location close to the Night Bazaar and plenty of local amenities. 😊 For more information or to arrange a viewing, you can reach us at **[e-mail]**. Be sure to mention the agent in the video and let us know you saw us on KZbin! Do you have a specific move-in date in mind?

[@blureader1164]

I prefer condo #1. Even though I did not see hot water in the bathroom, which would be a deal breaker for me, and the shower head is draped instead of being on the wall, it has an oven, which you rarely see in Asia. I would love a tub, but who wants to take a cold bath? I like the bonus room, and the larger balcony. I would rather be on a higher floor. The second unit is too close to the road and I do not need a big bedroom like that.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

You’ve got a sharp eye for detail, and your reasoning makes total sense! Condo #1 does offer a lot of unique features like the oven and the bonus room, which are hard to come by in Asia. A larger balcony and a higher floor definitely add to the appeal, especially if you enjoy peace and great views. The lack of hot water is a valid concern, though-it’s one of those practical details that really matter for comfort. If the hot water issue could be addressed, would that make it the perfect choice for you? 😊

[@marlinnewlin]

Miss Celine is a cutie!

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

She really is! 😊 Her charm and personality make the condo tours even more enjoyable to watch. Did you also find her condo appealing, or was it more about her energy? 😊 Did you see her latest video with Miss Beam? kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2LTe6hmepeYn5o

You need to carry a can of WD40 to handle the squeaky doors like the one going into the bedroom

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Haha, great observation! A little WD40 can definitely work wonders on those squeaky doors-thanks for pointing that out! Did the rest of the apartment catch your eye, or are you looking for something with a bit more polish? 😊

[@WilliamFluery]

@@perfecthomeschiangmai This was actually the second time I watched this video. I shared with my first viewing I liked the first condo best. I have been to Thailand 30 times since 2005 and I am in love with the country and culture. My base city has been Chiang Mai but most of my time was spent in remote mountain villages supporting Thai Nationals who with Ethnic Minority Hilltribe refugees and orphans. I had to stop in 2019 to care for my mother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. She’s now in memory care. I’m now caring for my 91 y/o second cousin. My long-term desire is to retire in Chiang Mai so once my responsibilities end here in the US, I will most likely move. I enjoy watching these types of videos to see what’s happening in the market. By the way….I think Celine is 23 not 39. If she is 39, I wouldn’t be shocked because I’ve learned Thai girls age very well.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thank you so much for sharing your story-it’s deeply moving and speaks volumes about your dedication to caring for others, both in the U.S. and in Thailand. Your connection with Chiang Mai and the work you’ve done with hilltribe communities and refugees is truly inspiring. It sounds like Thailand has become a second home to you in so many ways. ❤️ When the time comes for your retirement, we’d be honored to help you find the perfect place in Chiang Mai. The market here has a lot to offer, whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or something close to the city’s vibrant cultural scene. Watching videos like these is definitely a great way to stay updated on what’s available! 😊

Honestly that first one seems a lot bigger than 800 sq feet ish. Older building definitely get way more space Unbelievable value for like 400 quid a month

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

You’re absolutely right-older buildings often have more generous layouts, making them feel much larger than their square footage suggests. That first unit really does seem spacious for around 800 square feet, and the value at approximately £400 a month is hard to beat! Is having that extra space one of your main priorities, or do you focus more on location or amenities when choosing a place? 😊

[@willsmith39]

@perfecthomeschiangmai Hey thanks for replying! As for your question I do typically prioritise space over amenities or even location ( within reason) I mean these ultra modern mega projects tend to have incredible flashy lobbies and common areas, fancy gyms and Instagram perfect infinity pools etc. But obviously that comes at a price and that price is often a lot of units and typically 300 sq feet ish or even less. And how often to you actually use the facilities? The pool once in a while but I never went in the co working space after seeing it let alone the golf simulator or wine room. Spent most of my time in an upscale rabbit hutch paying for facilities I almost never used. So yeah these days I'm all about older properties with more space.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

@@willsmith39 Thanks for sharing your perspective-it’s spot on! The ultra-modern developments can be tempting with all their flashy amenities, but if you’re not using the co-working space, wine room, or golf simulator, it starts to feel like you’re paying a premium for features that don’t add much value to your day-to-day life. Older properties often win when it comes to space and practicality, and they can have a lot of character too. Plus, you can use the extra space for things that truly matter to you-whether that’s a home office, a workout area, or just more room to breathe. Just a thought but would you live somewhere like this - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZe0YYqpmaaGn8k

You hiring? This would be a fun job haha

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Haha, it does look like a lot of fun, doesn’t it? 😊 Touring beautiful condos and meeting new people every day definitely has its perks

[@paulsandford3345]

Range hood!

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

You’re absolutely right! The correct term is range hood-a must-have in many kitchens for ventilation and keeping cooking odors at bay. 😊

Any unit with a good Thailand girl works for me. So sweet polite soft sweet girl

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thai culture definitely values kindness and politeness, which is so refreshing and makes interactions feel warm and genuine. 😊 As for the condos, there are plenty of great options to suit all kinds of preferences. Are you looking for something to settle into soon, or just browsing for ideas? _ did you see this one with two ladies? kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2LTe6hmepeYn5o

The first unit: Grout in the tub looked bad....moldy

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thanks for pointing that out! Grout can definitely make or break the overall feel of a bathroom, and it’s something that’s worth addressing for a fresh and clean look.

[@darter216]

1st one….too much wasted bedroom space on the 2nd one

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Fair point! Some layouts can feel a bit inefficient depending on your needs. The first one might be a better fit if you’re looking for something more practical and balanced. 😊 What’s the most important feature you look for in a condo?

There both to expensive baby 😅

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Interesting that you think so, may I ask what you think would be the right price?

[@Mark-yo5ue]

@@perfecthomeschiangmai $350 USD per month Ight make more sense given the age and condition of the building. Plus I assume no building amenities since you showed none.

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Thanks for your thoughts that would be around 12,000 per month. I would say 2,000 baht above the average studio rental rate - does that sound right to you?

[@Jerksters]

I bake, Italian & Jamaican food. Yes, I can cook.. M

[@perfecthomeschiangmai]

Wow, Italian and Jamaican-what a delicious combination! 🍝🌶️ You must make some incredible dishes. A good kitchen layout is definitely a must for a cook like you. Does the condo kitchen have the kind of space or setup you’d need for all that baking and cooking? 😊
