8 Quick Condo Tours in Bangkok 🇹🇭 Cost of Living Thailand

I'm going house hunting in Bangkok, Thailand. But with a twist. Rapid fire house hunting, where I tour 8 condo rentals and choose one to live in.
That's right, we are ending our nomadic life and it's time to find our new home. And Condo Rentals in Bangkok have changed. So let's see what is out there for $1,000/month, $2,000/month, and $3,000/month and then pick one. Get an idea of Cost of Living in Bangkok and join me for some House Hunters International Action.
Comment below with the one that you'd choose.
And if you are looking to rent or buy and condo in Bangkok, Samui, or Chiang Mai, reach out to RW4U Real Estate at [e-mail] and Adam will hook you up with one of our national network of agents here in Thailand.

@@jomontanee it's 2 bed room and it's 70k. You possibly think it reasonable for you. But it not for thailand. You can buy a house just by pay installment of 20k.

[@karlkunath]

I guess that means you guys are getting a great cut rate on Condos. Retirement people can't afford this.

[@karlkunath]

@@jomontanee no

[@jpbweb2023]

Well, I wrote emails 2 or 3 times to that address, and nobody ever bothered replying. Not so eager to please, apparently... It seems that RWFY positions itself in the "Sell the Thai Dream abroad" segment of the market. But no issue, there are plenty of serious and professional estate agents keen to work with expats already in Thailand.

[@nikbiz]

Would you say it's easier to find good value condos in the Ratchathewi/Bang Rak regions? Looking for a 2-3BR in the similar budget range.

[@jaredspencer3304]

I would LOOOOVE if you could repeat this episode, but in different neighborhoods in Bangkok like Thong Lor, Ari, Huay Kwang, Siam, Yaowarat, etc.

[@david-reason]

Don't buy an apartment in Bangkok, rent first, try a few areas, then you'll realise that buying is a bad idea! Great video Chris & Team!

[@zeroh3049]

i like buying so i can choose everything in it

[@bengmelea8646]

I bought a condo in Bangkok in 1998. Best decision I ever made given the discount condos were going for back then due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Very central and within walking distance of 1) a railway station, 2) a BTS station and 3) an Airport Link station. Best thing is that the common area fee, at around THB 2000/month, is a faction of the rent you would pay for a similar condo in the same area.

[@rayrebel]

The 1st 70k a month condo is worth the price with the inside space, wrap around balcony and the amazing view. However, the condo you chose has the dream location so good job Chris ❤

[@whypopme88]

agreed. the wrap around balcony is a lot better.

[@marcusbww]

Very entertaining as usual Chris. The more I watch the more I’m convinced a move to Thailand is required.

[@swhiting100]

Just check the visa situation first.

[@Funky420Infotainment]

With a budget of around 2000€ I would move into a nice 4-5 star hotel.

[@Louiesssss]

😂 yes!

[@andrewo5439]

You are saying for 2000 Euro ($73US including tax) per night you can live in a 5-star Hotel? That sounds low, which hotels would that be ?

[@wayne7936]

​​@@andrewo5439 there are a decent amount of apartment-hotels/serviced-apatrments comparable to 3-4 star hotels range that come out to about that much with 12-month contacts I like the Asscot brand of properties.

[@Funky420Infotainment]

@@andrewo5439 Try using google lol. I have stayed at a 5star hotel (which are european 5stars) for 45/night. Its not difficult to find in SEA

[@AndrewsProduction100]

@@andrewo5439 uhhhh bro 2000 euros doesn’t equal 73$ 🤣

[@jaredspencer3304]

I stayed for a month at Hyde Sukhumwit 11. The units are nice and the 38th floor rooftop pool is the perfect place to watch the sun set over the city. But man, living on soi 11 is a pain. Especially on the weekend or at night, it would take you 30 minutes in a taxi just to get out of the soi, so you have to walk quite a ways away just to save time.

[@exalhoa]

I came here to say this. I spent Dec 2022 there and couldn't wait to leave! Soi 11 is a nice place to visit but not to live imo. I ended up with a year lease in a building right next to Petchaburi MRT, so close enough but out of the mayham

[@Neednoy2]

I love the last one. It's perfect when your parents and Anna come for a visit during the summer.

[@Swampzoid]

How very exciting for you to have a wonderful condo with a spectacular view of Bangkok. I think I loved the last condo y'all showed but it happened too fast.

[@spider82666]

Love the wrap-around balcony! Can't wait to move to Thailand in two years.

[@scubduu]

Yeah that balcony was something else!! Would have had my vote.

[@heythave]

Yes, that wrap around balcony one was nice.

[@travelingfrogman]

I just left Sukhumvit Bangkok for a 4 day visit. Bangkok is nice visit but glad to be back in my Beach condo in Phuket. Great video as Always Chris❤😊

[@WanderlustReports]

I love these condo videos. The one you chose offers the greatest views, but I think I would have gone for the one on Sukhumvit 11 with the beautiful swimming pool. Where Adam is living is nice too!

[@pamelaalston4178]

I love the wrap around balcony! But I wonder if they could add more furniture in the living area. I also like the modern 2 bedroom near the hospital.

[@kade_kam_dad]

Your videos are so entertaining. I love the energy, attitude, everything.

[@EarthCamper]

You got lot of energy and enthusiasm. Very good video Chris

[@TokyoTim5]

Another great vid! Thanks Chris. 😎

[@chadbret3990]

Rapid and very useful Chris, thank you!🙏

[@carveratutube]

Congratulations Chris and thanks for the entertaining hunt. Wish you a great time in your new apartment.

[@MrEye4get]

I was surprised you picked the one you picked! The lower-priced units seem to offer more space and amenities. The first unit at 45,000 baht was quite nice! Prime 11 is my choice!

Great video, as always so informative. I love you man 💋

Awesome location and beautiful views! Congratulations!

[@charlesblaicher7589]

Another great video. A little more than I can afford but fun and informative. Enjoy the views. I'm sure you will be very happy there.

[@ThailandThomas]

Go with the 70k unit. You know you want it Chris. I hate Bangkok and I want it. hahaha That massive wrap around balcony sold me. I love the fact that most places come full finished ready to move it. No big moving headaches.

Omg I LOVE the rapid real estate style haha. Pleaaaaase do one of these for Koh Samui 🤗💜

I liked the first one the best. And the realtor seemed pretty cool.

[@twinflowerfioretta]

Hello Chris, Thumbs up👍 great decision , the view is insane, wow ! i had a lot of laughing, and i was exhausted by watching you running in the heat of Bangkok, but it was worth to watch your tour ! Lol !✌😂😅Cheers 🥂🍺home sweet home

[@PS3Cooooooool]

Great idea to create these kind of videos (would definitely do a series every month with other areas). You made my day whenever you leave someone and running to the other person 👌🏼😂, if i were with you i would grab you or run with you to see who is offering the other unit!

[@shafiqhirzie4139]

2:58 Noi was genuinely startled..XD Love your randomness and informative character.

[@DreamofThailand19000]

OMG, renting in BKK is expensive. I like the one near Bumrungraj hospital. Traffic in BKK is crazy. Living near the hospital is a good thing for those who have health issues.

[@CandiceLikes]

I think the rent in Bkk is still affordable. Guess it depends on what your used to. Traffic as well. Im from LA, which has way worse traffic and super high cost of living so bkk still sounds great to me! Lol 👍😎

[@DreamofThailand19000]

@@CandiceLikes I agree with renting in LA. Most people I know moved out of LA because of high cost of living. I live in Chicago suburbs but work in Chicago. In term of term of traffic, Chicago traffic is not that bad compared with BKK traffic.

[@evansmusic2009]

The difference is renting while working or not.... Many places are affordable with a good job! 70k baht is extreme in retirement...

[@vilasineenitisopon6169]

I like the rooms at the Room condo. They have less character than the older, more spacious, units but I like the bright feel of the place.

[@soumaasma348]

Congratulations on your new condo, great video.

[@hypnotechno]

love the rapid fire format!

[@pablozorro3507]

My choice would be to live the high life and go for The Room, Sukhumvit 21 with that amazing private, huge, wrap around terrace. Wow! Good luck

[@albruns9846]

I loved the 70k condo with the huge balcony. When I visited Bangkok, the balcony in my condo was tiny. That’s the only condo I’ve seen with a usable balcony.

[@MrGman2804]

It's pretty amazing that you can get a decent sized condo for THB50k p/m (or roughly USD$1500) in a humming capital city.

[@GregorBrown]

Thanks for the rapid fire. And U got in a good exercise.

[@leismichael86]

my head was spinning trying to keep track on the condos. good choice in the end it is what you want and what makes you happy very nice looking place

Hi Chris! Absolutely in love with your Channel. I would appreciate if you share some videos on how life is during monsoon/rainy season? Are businesses open as usual? It’s recommended not to visit from Aug-Nov. But how is it living there during that time? Is it okay to visit? Would love to hear from you. Thank you and Haley for sharing so much with us 💖

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

i don't mind rainy season myself. i definitely prefer it to hot season. all businesses are open.

[@Baleur]

Loved this video, but i was hoping for some more affordable places in the 15-30k baht range. These are all two-three bedroom for families, really. Especially given how ENORMOUS the number of such places are, while still looking great with a nice view. Thats the real appeal of Bangkok imo, affordable yet amazing condos in the heart of a metropolis, the same USD / EUR rent as a small danky apartment in Europe / USA.

[@ABDIRILEX]

Very nice house in Bangkok I love to see it have a nice day my friend, greetings from Indonesia ❤

Plan to move to Thailand when I retire in the next 5 to 10 years and pretty set on living near Terminal 21 Asok as well. Love the area. Don't need a 2 bedroom but they are enticing. Thanks for the great video.

They seem really expensive to me…. I think it’d cost less in Manchester! But I’d have chosen yours or the balcony. Maybe. That one with the spa was nice too. Actually really hard.

[@ZeroJizzMaster]

Just now seeing some of your videos, I enjoy them. I live up north in Chiang Mai. Fortunately for me, I stay with between my friend and his wife's house here, and my apartment if needed (both on the same street.) I've been here for 7 months now (language visa) and staying till the end of the year. My plan next time out here is to get a business going but I have to go back to oil and gas for a bit to build that kind of capital for the timeframe I'm looking at. Keep up the videos.
