I'd like to share a tip: When your condo has a bedroom window near a busy, high-speed road, it's important to be aware that motorcycles, among other things, can generate significant noise, particularly at night.

Great video and amazing tips. Thank you for the website recommendations. You’re absolutely right with the open corridor. Aesthetically pleasing but fades quickly once the noise settles in. I really enjoy your videos and it’s clear that these are very intentional and well-thought out. You definitely deserve more subscribers

Always informative and enjoyable. I appreciate your effort and delivery and agree with your perspectives you share. I entered Thailand 10Dec21 and initially stayed in the asoke area and have returned multiple times between travels. Currently in Jomtien and find old acceptable accommodation without annual contracts around 10k + utilities. I think Bangkok has so much more to offer in variety but having a difficult time leaving the slower paced, lower cost Pattaya area. But, I'm always thinking about Bangkok. Enjoy your travels and I'll keep following your content. Thank you for all you do.

great video, thank you very much for compiling those tips - some of which I totally understand and agree with, like noise travelling / bottle bins etc. I would add not being right next to the elevators as well, especially if these open with the typical "ping" sounds. You'll be hearing that sound all day and all night. It's those little details you only really know once you've had to live with them. Sound insulation is also really important - you can have great -looking apartments apartments with lovely facilities but their walls are paper thin.

Absolutely! For example.. build quality on Ashton condos is amazing and you can’t hear a single thing from outside the room. But Q Chidlom on the other hand I can hear every single Tuktuk going down the road 24/7.. I’m kind of used to it now Hutu I do miss those quite moments I used to have

​@@ProjectBangkok Haha, yeah totally! I've been non-stop travelling in SE Asia for the past 6 months now and have seen the great, the mediocre and the terrible of "apartment design/build" ha ha. Tbh street noises I feel I could live with (trying to always be as far up as possible, even tho I still had the biggest cockroach of my life in a Wyndham Sukhumvit on the 28th floor!), but neighbour sounds are a no-no. Currently in Kuala Lumpur and the nice apartment building (Ceylonz) has walls that are paper thin. Despite great location and facilities and views, I'd not stay here again. Give me Tuktuks any day over obnoxious neighbours! 😛 Just looked at your links for property rental and they're a GODSENT. Thank you SO much! Planning to stay in Thailand over the "winter months" (since rainy season everywhere else!) and I'll definitely check out all those links. Subscribed :)

Some good tips in here! Thanks man, though I do think $2k/ month seems extremely high. That’s enough to live anywhere on the planet, including the world’s most expensive cities. I have to assume most people moving to Bangkok are looking for affordability. I love Bangkok, but for that price you could live on the beach somewhere. Hawaii, Australia, Spain, the list goes on. To afford 2k/ month you should be clearing like 80k/ year AFTER taxes.

If you get a bike taxi regularly, you will have an accident. It happens to everyone. The costs also creep up. If you were using them for Bt100 a day, 6 days a week, 25 days a month, then there is Bt2500 a month. But realistically, how many times do you need to be going out each month ? The truth is that if you have poor, small accommodation, you will be forced to go out more frequently whereas if you have larger more airy accommodation, you will be happier to stay at home. The offsetting costs can be quite significant in that more expensive but better accommodation can actually work out cheaper overall. Don't fret a lack of a fridge freezer or washing machine. You can buy these and give away, sell on or leave behind. They are not deal breakers. What is your condo electric charge ? Government rate is about Bt4.5 per kWh but commercial places have to charge you about Bt8 per kWh which doubles your electric costs. Onsite pools and gyms look great but no-one ever uses them. However, if you can use them for fitness and relaxation, you save bucket loads of time and money which offsets the rent costs. As Rob said, check the heat of the water and if it is covered or in between buildings, the water will be freezing. I used to live in the JW Marriott on Soi 2 but that was a long time ago and well before room rates hit £200 a night ! These days, I think I'd want a modern condo, which means smaller rooms and a smaller footprint, whereas some older units have much more land. Pools need to be in the sun or uncovered rooftop and few do those in Bangkok. Also, if you're outside looking for somewhere after you arrive, then get a month somewhere first, either a moderate hotel or a serviced apartment. You cannot be fighting 2 battles, trying to find long term accommodation when you're also trying to find a cheaper hotel.

There is a lot of street food but keep in mind that it's not always the healthiest option. Some people are concerned about their health long term.

READ THIS IMPORTANT .you did not mention the pollution in the city, I lived in thailand bangkok and hau hin, the pollution in bangkokm has a national range per day of o- 200 , 200 being very bad , the average is 125 , bad , so if you have allergies or not the pollution can make you sick , the higher up you are in your condo the worse and filter in the ac is useless , they also burn the sugarcane and corn fields in the country near by adding to the pollution, the cars have no cantalista muffler on there cars , they close the schools often because of the pollution, do your own research your self ,

Thank you very much! I pride myself on exactly that.. I hate with a passion visiting somewhere and been forced to shoot a video the same day.. I want to experience it with my eyes before I get the camera out. Thankfully I’m able to do that won’t most my videos. Experience is irreplaceable 👌🏻

@@ProjectBangkok after a few more hours researching, i found out that its spelt Asoke. My comment was suggesting that youre more clear, if you're gonna be talking and explain areas to people who obviously haven't been yet! Considering thats what the video was made for in the first place. Just a suggestion! And dont become one of those ppl who misuse trending words just because u think it gives you the upper hand, because it doesn't. Comment sections are for comments. If you dont like them, i suggest u turn them off.

How much $$ do you need in your account if you wanted to stay on a Edu. Visa of 6 months? Do they check your bank account or if you have income stream of 2k a month coming into your bank will that suffice? And the Ashton Asoke seems to get a bit pricey at 660USD/mo + Aircon = nearly 800.00 per month... Thanks..
