Cheap apartment in Bangkok sought for 2 months

[perth_couple]

As we are returning to Thailand later this year we are looking around again for apartments to rent

Does anyone have any recommendations for reasonably priced 1 bedroom apartments in the Nana area for the months of October and November 2008? The below is a list that would make my ideal package. I€™ve checked out quite a few on thaiapartment.com in the early Sukhumvit (Asoke) area, but it€™s hard to tell what they are like just from the pics€¦

I was also considering the Rajah, does anyone have any feedback?

Natalie€™s apartment wish-list

** 1 bedroom - separate from lounge/dining area
** Cable €“ UBC preferred!
** Internet €“ either available or provided
** TV
** Refrigerator €“ a reasonably sized one, not a bar-fridge!
** Microwave
** Air con
** Water heater/hot shower
** Close to BTS
** Close to Nana €“ just so it€™s within walking/short taxi distance
** Clean

Preferably around 20 - 25k per month (or less!) including outgoings (power, water etc)€¦

Any help greatly appreciated

Natalie and Glenn

The difficulty here is "the Nana area!"

As I'm sure you know short term comfortable surroundings in this area are going to be a tad pricier than, say, further down the BTS line. Where TT and I live of course is too far, but the possibilities here are greater.

Here is a fantastic article which can go a long way to sorting out a few problems BEFORE they arise!

Also here's a link to a site which can narrow a few choices down for you...

Mr Room Finder

Why don't you go through this site and find about 4 or 5 that you like and send me the list...

I'll pop out to each one and take some photos and ask the right questions for you... I'll even post them here so others can see what's available and at what price...

Here's a possibility...

Happy hunting!

Hey Stogie,

In light of your very generous offer to act as house hunter we've (ok, Natalie) checked out a few apartments on the site you suggested (which is a ripper by the way!).

On top of your very appropriate suggestion (http://www.mrroomfinder.com/detail.php?id=2025) we also thought about the following...

A couple of the apartments are in the same building but if there are too many to be bothered with, don't!


Thanks again Stogie

Cool... It'll get me out of the house!

Perth,
Hope you and your gal are doing well.
Another idea may be to book a room for a few days in the NEP area.  Then venture off and have a look in person round the area.  Sometimes there are lots of hidden gems. You may find a great deal too due to the crappy economy and low season
