Hello everyone,
[I understand this might seem more suited for a condo-focused group, but I find that honest reviews can be rare there, with most comments coming from realtors. I hope you understand, and thank you for your consideration.]
After getting the Visa, I realize there is more things that need to be taken care of. I’m hoping to get some advice on finding a long-term apartment in Bangkok. We’re currently living abroad, but we’re planning to spend two weeks in Bangkok to search for a suitable place before making a longer move.
I have a couple of questions:
1. Did you use a real estate agent/fb group to view photos and get information on multiple apartments before visiting them in person? Or the only reliable way is to go directly to different buildings and discuss your requirements with the building staff?
2. If you’ve had experience with this process, I’d really appreciate your insights, especially since we need a pet-friendly apartment, which may make things a bit more challenging.
Just to clarify, we don’t intend to rent an apartment “online” without first visiting it ourselves. Our goal is to maximize our options during our time in Bangkok so we can efficiently explore and evaluate different places. Any advice on how you managed this process would be incredibly helpful!
Thank you in advance!
