When you move to Bangkok without having been there before, it can be daunting choosing which part of the city to live in as it is so vast. You can decide to live in many places, depending on what you want, and there is an abundance of condos and houses that you can rent. Below you will find some tips to help you in your search to find the perfect place to live and make the task to find it much more straightforward.
Choosing The Ideal Location
If you are going to be working while you are in Bangkok or have children of school age, you will need to consider where you work and the school’s location that your children will attend. Travelling in Bangkok can be a slow and tedious task, made even worse when it is raining, so reducing the distance you have to travel to get to work or school is something you will want to do.
Work Out Your Budget
You will need to think about how much you can afford to pay in rent per month, and the closer you are to the city centre the more your rent will be. If you do not mind travelling, you can live further outside the city and get much more for your money, but it will mean more travelling. Set a budget that you can afford, and then it will make it easier to look at suitable properties and areas in which you want to live.
Get Some Help With Your Search
Many websites list available properties throughout Bangkok that you can look at, and you may also wish to use the services of an agent. When you rent in Bangkok, there are significant advantages to using an agent’s services, and they have extensive knowledge of the city and what properties are available. When it comes to searching for a real estate agent, Bangkok has plenty of options available, and it will not cost you anything to use their services.
Consider The Facilities You Require
You will also need to think about the facilities you want in your accommodation, and there are plenty of things you may wish to have. You can find condos available in many sizes, including studios, with up to three bedrooms. Most condos will also have a variety of facilities available, such as:
- 24 Hour Security
- Secure Parking
- Swimming Pool
- Gym
- Communal Gardens
- Playground
- Convenience Store
- Hair Dressers
- Close To Transport Links
- Communal Laundry
Speak to an agent and think about what you need to live comfortably, and they can help you find the perfect place to live in Bangkok and start your adventure of living in the Big Mango.
