Depends really. Some agents good obviously for long term .. but some good deals on air b n b. If had time to door knock I hear some great deals can be had .
Awesome video! This is so helpful with a TON of good pointers. I wish that airbnb did like 6 month - 1 year rentals. It would be awesome😅 i like airbnb
Mahalo for your 6 options. Currently I've reserved 8 nights of hotels. I hope to stay 60-365+ days. Your options 1,2,4 &5 feel the best for me. Gotta say, 4 out of 6 rocks !! Mahalo for the info. Extremely helpful.
I have been in Bkk before, but I can’t tell much about living long term in an area. So my plan is to spend the first 4 weeks in 4 different places using Airbnb or other short term options for scouting purposes. Probably I will try Phra Khanong (the most central I’ll get), Udom Suk (more peripheral), Ari / Lad Phrao (northern side) and Thonburi (on the left side of the river and very local). I think that by that I can feel more confident to commit for a long term rent. I’ll let you know 😁
Hi , how's your exploration coming along Am about to do the same thing, am trying to find the best way to get good 1 month rentals, let me know if you have found a way, thanks
@@rudd2962 I used AirBnb even if not technically legal in Thailand. It was a good way to buy some time while reviewing condo for long term and exploring the areas. If you don’t have plan to take always a taxi or have your own vehicle, being near the bts/mrt is a must!
@@Livingabroadalex Cheers Alex look forward to the next clip many of my friends have pulled out coming to Thailand to much hassle all going to the Philippines 20 of them.Thailand miss out they need to scrap Thai pass all of it.
Question man. I used to live in Bangkok in 2011 but my Thai ex had house on her name. I now plan to move to Bangkok myself in a few months and want to rent. I'll arrive on a tourist visa. Can I rent an appartment like that or do I need any specific papers?
Hey man SUPER helpful video. How do you find the AirBNB locations to meet the owners face to face? I thought AirBNB blocks the address or phone numbers? Just wondering the best way to connect with the hosts without flagging the AirBNB system...
Thank you I usually send then a direct message saying something like " I'm Alex a responsible individual that will treat your home as my own. I am on a budget and was wondering if you'd consider x amount of money per month. It's lower than your asking price but you'll have peace of mind knowing your places is rented every night of the month
Contact 3 real estate agents in Bangkok. All have not gotten back with me after I told them I wanted 6 months to 9 month rental. One of them said they don't do 6 months but one yr. The other 2 didn't respond back. They even did a bait and switch on me. Smh. How can I get in touch with the owner directly or landlord. Agents I guess trying to make commission.
Damn that sucks. Use places like Airbnb or Facebook market place where it is mainly the owners listing their units. Most of them have their "Line" I'd listed there
Helpful video thank you. I like the idea of making a side deal with an Airbnb host but I'd be concerned about getting scammed. As a foreigner and tourist I won't have any legal resources in that case. Would you request a lease for the agreed upon period? Also, it's unlikely that the host will file a TM30 with immigration if it's near your time for a 90 day reporting.
@@Livingabroadalex arrghhhh 🤦🤦🤦the maximum is just 12 months Boy imagine keeping it at the back of your head u gotta relocate 12 months later 😂😂 That's stressful ASF... I might end up staying just few months then leave Thailand... I can't deal with it At least lease of 3yrs is cool...
Hi! Can i use airbnb, for example, for a long term living? I`ll be moving to Bangkok soon and i want to know all the ways how can i rent a cheap condo for a long term.
Great video! I did a post on facebook and received some messages from agents and landlords. Do you have any tips on how to tell if they are serious agents/landlords? I'm afraid to get scammed.
I would think the Airbnb folks would catch on and not be happy about renters contacting the owner directly to work out a side deal. Seems like I could get a owner kicked off of airbnb.
Line is also used in Taiwan. I didn't know that. So I was at an establishment & the guy looked at me, "You don't have Line?? You don't even have a download of it??". I said, "I have Whatsapp.". And his face showed that he didn't know what that was.// I am now in a Bangkok hotel and residence (paying 19500 baht/month) & I am looking at your video to see if I can move over to a condo for 1 month (at less cost per month than what I pay now).
bro, you mean you physically meet up with the airbnb owners n check out the place before renting ?? How you do it ?? Looks like there is no way to bypass the airbnb site to get the owner's personal contact or the property 's address without first renting the place for a few days man ..
Yes. There is a "contact host" button on airbnb. When you offer him the amount you want to pay just right it in word form I.e five thousand. Not numerical form 5000 and he se the message and if he agrees then meet up with him and check out the place
Just came across your channel.. Am looking to do a 1 month rental in BKK Do you think I'll be able to find reasonable accommodation within 3 days by physically walking around the neighbourhood n approaching the condo maintenance office for rentals Which is a good value place near the mrt or BTS in your opinion .. if you can still recall .. ha Thanks !!🙏🙏🤣🤣
Haha I'd suggest using one of thr 6 ways I mentioned in the video. I usually contact the airbnb host and offer him cash for a reduced price. Works most of the time
Which is the best option in your opinion?
Depends really. Some agents good obviously for long term .. but some good deals on air b n b. If had time to door knock I hear some great deals can be had .
Yes exactly. All the options have their advantages 😎
I don't trust anything off facebook. They do scams on there all over where I am in the US.
2years on and still an informative video. Thanks
Thank you!
Your videos are getting better and better.
Thank you Kevin! I appreciate the positive feedback 😁

@@Snip59 You're absolutely right. Thailand needs to adapt before they do further damage. Who knows maybe I'll end up in the Philippines too 😏
Thanks mate, going through this process at the moment. Looking at Pattaya as our initial stay, but no idea at this point.
Regardless, I'm sure you'll have a blast 🎉
Good video, & information. I'm about to move to Bangkok for school, looking for a nice local neighborhood. Going to try a couple of options.
Thank you!! And good luck 😊
Ur r good in communication tks
Thanks Pete!!

Thank you!I stayed there 4 months without issues. You can request it. N they want scam u if you don't pay anything unless seeing the place.
Wat if I plan to reside in Thailand
Would I keep running around from one condo to another due to the short lease
Get a long lease 🤣
@@Livingabroadalex arrghhhh 🤦🤦🤦the maximum is just 12 months
Boy imagine keeping it at the back of your head u gotta relocate 12 months later 😂😂
That's stressful ASF...
I might end up staying just few months then leave Thailand... I can't deal with it
At least lease of 3yrs is cool...

Yes you can
Hi, have you made the move, be nice if you can share tips as am looking for tthe best way to do 1 month rentals in BKK n Thailand
Great video! I did a post on facebook and received some messages from agents and landlords. Do you have any tips on how to tell if they are serious agents/landlords? I'm afraid to get scammed.
Not really. Just use common sense. If it don't feel right then don't do it
how did u find that great serviced apartment?
I would think the Airbnb folks would catch on and not be happy about renters contacting the owner directly to work out a side deal. Seems like I could get a owner kicked off of airbnb.

Do u know any condo near Thammasat university tha prachan that rent for 6 months only?
No but I made a video on 6 ways to rent a condo in Bangkok

Great Job 👍#Detroit
Thank you! Love all your sports teams 🥳
Can you rent with out 6 months or 12 months contact? I mean paying months by month
Yes
@@Livingabroadalex thank you so much
You're welcome 😊
Can i pay monthly?
Is it possible to rent condo/apartment for 1 month in bangkok?
Yes.
But it' so hard to find it. Most of them only want to offer 6 months or 1 year. Do you have any recomendation ?
Exactly as I explained in the video
Can US citizens work in Thailand? And how do we go about it ?
Sure. You need a work permit. Find job with a job offer and then apply for a work visa
@@Livingabroadalex thank you so much !
@@Livingabroadalex I have one more other question what's the requirements for renting in Thailand?
Nothing. Just need money 😆
