What are some affordable room rental options in Bangkok for 5000 Baht?

It is easy to get a room in Bangkok for 2000 -2500 but not in that area. That said you don't have to go too remote. My friend has a room for 1780 in the Ramkhamhaeng area but for relatively central and good communications the best area to look for cheapies is Victory Monument area. 8000 would get a proper full facility studio across a lot of Bangkok but not the area you are talking of. Other definite no areas are Thonglor and Ekkamai.

Sir this is a Wendy's

Room for this price are far from there. As said its one of the most expensive areas of bkk. Or try to find a room in a local people house.

You’re not going to find anything for 5,000b a month within those areas of the map you posted. There are apartments/condos around that price range but it’s about 1 hr bts ride to Lumphini area. Budget will need to be at a minimum of 15,000b-20,000b to be around Lumphini.

Look around bang wa and bang phai off the mrt station. You might find some places for around 5,000b-8,000b

Near mrt Sutthisan I rented 5000 thb per month, however electricity 🔌 fee is a bit higher now about, 10-12 thb per unit, so it's another 5000 thb per month for electricity 🔌 and water, 🛜

I have a room I know of

If you find it please tell me where. I would like to rent for that price there too.

I workout at the Parc and it is next to the MRT. If you want 5k then you have to travel a bit. You just have to find her a place about 5 or 6 mrt stations away from MRT Queen Sirikit.

Probably have to sleep under a bridge for that in Bangkok.

You can search room by the website "livinginside". it's a rend platform in Thailand

Do you hate your daughter that much? Do you want to punish her? Why do you want her to struggle that much?

If you will even find something she will likely be in 'dodgy' areas close to questionable people 😅

50k but not 5

I rented at nawamin area and it’s 5000 for a month you can check it out

5000 bahts ?? You must be joking. And shes 12 to not be able to ask by herself ? How will she do abroad if she still need daddy to help with a basic flat research???

5000 in this area has mold insects and basically no bed just sink toilet

You either left off a zero or missing a 5. ..

Reminds me of the people that hear that Thailand is cheap and they do no research and just think they should be able to find a unit for $160 month. I’m sorry but I have a hard time assisting people like that. Like if they would have said I did some research in these areas and haven’t found something in my price range. Something like that is more showing you care enough that you did some research and seeking help and advice. No advice should really be given to laziness.

Que horror

For all the people making snarky comments about how low the price is, have you never thought about who lives in these often older buildings often with no name that seem to be apartments? Have you never talked with poorer thais about where they live and how much they pay? I was talking with a security guard at my old place and I was talking about places I was looking at to move to. The rent price was 20k and he said that was more than his entire month salary, Let that sink in. A full time Security guard was making 20k or less a month.

Here's a 42SQ M @6000 Baht place in that area

Someone mentioned RentHub. There are a LOT of cheap serviced apartments on there. I think with Renthub they essentially expect you to find them on there and then make a physical visit.

If she goes south of the River there, it gets quite a bit cheaper quickly. Not much cheaper than the above link but more choices and slightly cheaper.

ratchaprapop mansion in Pratunam..starts at 7k..5k maybe a room

You may be able to find a Thai style studio for that much but it'll likely not be in the best condition and/or location with zero amenities. If your daughter is Thai, this might be okay, if she's a foreigner she'll likely be pretty miserable.

5000 is quite low and it will be basic accommodation at that price..

Basically a single room with attached bathroom and if you are extremely lucky a small balcony for a very simple kitchen area.

You should expect to pay more like 7000+ for something decent and comfortable.

Between On Nut and Ekamai would be worth looking but try to get something at least walking distance to a BTS skytrain station..

That's very important in Bangkok for public transport..

In time she will learn to navigate the public bus system as well hopefully..

But that can be slow and frustrating in peak traffic conditions..

15,000 baht up is more realistic for this location. If her new job isn’t paying her enough to cover 15,000 baht in rent then it’s not worth it.

you will find something for 5k but your daughters has to share that with molds, roaches and pests. That's probably the most expensive area of bkk and the price you set is for the outskirt of a city in the middle of nowhere. For that area, anything decent goes from 10/ baht per month.

If your child is old enough to go work in Bangkok, they're old enough to arrange their own accommodation. Stop mothering your adult child. It's embarrassing for both of you.

Suggest she pray for a father with bigger pockets....

There are some cheap rooms on sukumvit 71 and maybe near the port perhaps ..

Seri-Thai or Ramkhamhaeng area might be a good place for her to look. I stay on Ram and pay 7000 a month for a pretty nice place.

Not going to happen. Step it up to 15,000 baht per month and Maybe you will find a nice safe studio with a long walk to rail.

I'll be honest

5000 is going to be in a slum or in a very working class neighborhood where she's not going to have any foreigners

For her sake I would triple that budget at a minimum.

You're better off looking further away from that area and she can use the BTS to travel to work

Maybe the lowest you can find in central Bangkok is 10k and even higher. That area is a bit on the prime one. I work in Central World, but live in Thonburi area. A bit far, but the rent is cheaper. Good thing there’s a lot of ways to transport to compensate for the distance.

Tell us you hate your daughter without telling us you hate your daughter!!

Mau Morris . . .

I suggest you enter this area of Bangkok (Sathon) into the search mask of the website 9apartment dot com. However I reckon you won't find anything for 5000 THB within this area, it is a prime living district

555

B5k? Dream on. Maybe add about 5 roommates.

A room in Thailand means a whole unit.

Far away from big cities maybe.

In rural Isaan we rented a small house for 5k.

Which 3 weeks of the month does she want to be homeless?

Try the app or webpage.

You’re not going to find it.

5000??

Why not 4000 or 3000??

😅

It’s a prime area for Bangkok. 5k baht seems hard to find. If you get a place in a deep Soi. It may be dangerous for your daughter at night when she gets back to her apartment. Also consider the environment of the apartments too, not just the price.
