Hi everyone! I am kinda new here and hopefully some of you can give me some advice concerning renting a studio or small appartment in Bangkok. I am traveling to Bangkok with a non O based on retirement arranged in my home country the Netherlands. I booked a hotel for a month in the Phra Nakhon district. During that month i will be able to look around concerning renting a studio/small appartment in the BKK area. I would prefer to live in a local area on a street level. Last year i visited Thonburi, west of the Chao Phraya river, and i loved that area. Distance to public transportation is not really an issue for me. My standards are basic. A small furnished studio for 1 person with airco would fit me perfect. I guess airco is unbeatable in BKK….

What is the best strategy to find a studio in BKK? Do you use the internet or do you suggest to walk around in an certain area and just explore if something is available? Recommended internet sites to search for a studio? Accompanying a thai speaking person or will english be sufficient?

I would appreciate any suggestions from you all!

Have a great sunday and thanks for reading my post.

Kind regards

Koen

Hi guys. I will be heading to phuket in Early July and wanted recommendations for places to rent for 6months. Iooking for a lively upbeat area but not too swamped. Good view and bright windows close proximity to any of the beaches. I was looking at Kamala but it seems a bit slow right now so I’m open to suggestions.

Around $600 to $1000 monthly budget.

Thanks in advance.
