Based on personal experience of renting apartments and living in condos, most properties of these types typically range from 20 to 50 square meters, which is spacious enough for a single person or a couple. The price for such units is generally around 1-2 million Baht. For rent, a condo would typically cost between 15,000 to 20,000 Baht per month, while apartments start from 5,000 to 10,000 Baht, depending on the location. Why aren't larger units built? The answer lies in the high cost of land in Bangkok's economic zones, making units larger than 50-70 square meters too expensive relative to the average middle-class income. Condo designs in Thailand focus on lifestyle, meaning the private space in the units is kept smaller, while communal areas such as swimming pools, saunas, gyms, entertainment rooms, co-working spaces, and even community kitchens for dining together are increased. This creates a balance between social and private living. For those needing more space or wanting to live as a family, there are alternatives, such as purchasing a housing developments by real estate developers in the suburbs for around 3-5 million Baht (1 house have 2-3 floor), which offers more than enough space with more than 2-3 bedrooms per floor. If that still feels too expensive, another option is buying a house or condo in nearby outside Bangkok areas like Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan, Samut Sakhon, or Nakhon Pathom. These areas offer larger spaces at more affordable prices. However, if budget is not an issue, one can purchase a large condo (over 70 square meters) in central Bangkok, which offers plenty of space, comparable to luxury living in Dubai. Some projects even feature luxury second floor in one unit condos with 3-5 bedrooms, decorated like a high-end home in the sky. Prices for these units can range from 5 million Baht to hundreds of millions per unit some project sky high to more than 200-250 square meter per unit and you have personal car parking and garage for only your car. pricing more than thousand millions Bath. In Bangkok and its surrounding metropolitan areas, finding residential housing is not an issue if you have a budget of over 1 million baht or around 500 USD per month for rent. There is a wide range of options available, catering to various styles and locations, from comfortable to luxurious. Choices include modern properties with smaller private spaces but extensive shared facilities, as well as older designs offering more private space but limited shared amenities. For expats, it’s a haven where you can find accommodation tailored to your lifestyle and budget, with options that balance convenience, design, and comfort. 😂😂😂

Woah. This beats American apartments by a long way. Back at home they cost at least $2000 just for a studio!
Geez! American studios are a ripoff just like in Canada!
1person in the pool in one month lol wow. People like the pool just for the status? I'd use it every day lol
Awesome video, how did you get a 3 month lease? Thanks
