How about doing a series showing some of the neighboring communities where a person might rent a house? Everyone always wants to show condos in the heart of whatever city they are showcasing on their KZbin channels. For similar prices, you can get some wonderful homes in gated communities with amenities like pools and gyms. Not everyone wants to live the city life.

@@PJoeyCho We were talking about if something is reasonable or not. I was arguing it wasn't based on comparative salaries and affordability. You are arguing it is reasonable now because sales prices for new condos in Bangkok are now also my massively over inflated. Which seems an extremely weird argument to me. Here in Hong Kong our real estate market is also extremely unaffordable relative to household income, but there's enormous pressure on the gov to finally address it. Certainly no one's using words like reasonable or arguing high rents can be justified because sales prices are also insane. The reason the condo market in Bangkok and Hong Kong is so out of step with local wages is because its not local wages that are buying these in either place. It's not domestic buyers that are driving these sales prices in Bangkok - it's 'hot' money from overseas, China and Russia in particular.

Is she in a luxury building that is fully staffed like these buildings? Surely you realize location is first factor in real estate, and the 2nd being amenities, and the 3rd being the level of luxury. The cost difference to manage a building with an elevator compared to the same height building with NO elevator, alone, is considerably different. For ever elevator you add, the cost goes up dramatically for maintenance contracts and repairs.

Thanks Chris for another great video. I would like to ask however for those of us who do not like Condos and living in tall high rise buildings and prefer the space that they have currently in a house, what options are there (if any) for those who would prefer to rent a house/townhouse in Bangkok area? In addition I have also noticed some of the youtube videos like yours when they talk about what you can buy in terms of Condos, however no one ever mentions the ongoing costs (maintenance) so might be worth including this in the videos so that views would know what the expected outgoings would be. Cheers.

I love it, and that says much for a person that doesn’t like big cities. The city is cleaner, clean air and even friendlier than I’d hoped for. It’s hot and humid at times but there’s not much to dislike. I’m looking to buy a second home and I could imagine buying here for sure. Language is no barrier btw.

Thanks for another wonderful video. I love the area around Emquartier & Empoŕium. The first time I arrived in Bangkok my Agoda booking fell through so, I ended up being moved to The Olive Bangkok. It was a beautiful place and I really enjoyed my stay. Now, I tend more towards Asoke & Phrom Phong area so, seeing inside The Diplomat was a treat. It's wayyyy out of my budget but, still good to see. For those who are gasping at the prices, Bangkok is a cosmopolitan city. There are apartments for rent that will suit all budgets. Awhile ago, I watched a video of a guy who was paying $60 US for an apartment. It was very basic & nowhere near any BTS or Metro line so, much more difficult to get anywhere. Bangkok is a huge city spread out over many sq. kilometres. There's something for everyone...

I felt the "high end" place actually had very low quality but gilded interior decor and furniture. Not that any of them had any quality past the lobby but I guess I liked the first building best for its roof and its pool.

Come on chaps, no point in shooting the messenger. As the title suggests, changes are afoot regarding BKK real estate price points. Real estate values have skyrocketed around the world, particularly in cities of note during the last two years. Considering these changes, Chris seems to be right on the money, so to speak. Great upload as usual, thanks Chris.

I live in Nashville, Tennessee and for the cost of the 2 bed 2 bath condo I can buy/rent a town home here in America for the same price. And it’s 1800 square feet. lol my current rent is around $3000 US per month. But it’s a high rise in the best address in Nashville. I can’t imagine paying them $1600 per month for a condo in BKK.

In so many of these videos I rarely see anyone using the building amenities which were the hook to get them in there. I think I much prefer the older condos built in the '90s and earlier where you got real wood furnishings instead of IKEA stuff, and where you get twice the amount of space for the same amount of rent.

Definitely something to think about. Prices are definitely down yet ALL his rental videos share the high prices. It's not just the buildings/areas he's choosing. As others have said you can find direct comparables in the same areas for half the price. The Punnawithi condo was what really makes me question the motives of his rental videos. I know for a fact that you can get a rental at The Line 101 for half of what he quoted at the first condo.

Does anyone know what a typical rental lease in Thailand looks like? Is month to month common? Or is it mostly a one year lease? I ask because I could make the dream come true a lot sooner, but my job is pretty irregular, and I would need to be present in Canada to get paid. Some years might be 6 months, Thailand, six months Canada. Others might be year on year off etc.
