Wow! Your video is very helpful to me! I ask for a lot of good videos. Thank you very much as always! be healthy and be careful~^^♡
My wife and just discovered your channel recently and love your informative videos!
We are currently planning to visit Thailand for a few months and would love for you to do a video of some higher budget condos....maybe like in the $3000 - $4000 U.S per-month range..
Keep up the great work!!
Give me a 1000 thb.
🙏😔
70 000 THB, that's expensive in these times. Even for central Bangkok by BTS. You will find good hotels discounting a monthly rate well below that. 🐮
you will also find a lot better condo's on airbnb
@@davidd5636 but condos for Airbnb are illegal and you need to take the risk of being kicked out or cancelled.
What?! Almost $2000 USD for 1br/1ba?! Those are US prices. I thought Thailand was supposed to be cheap. If people continue paying those exorbitant prices in BKK soon it will be as expensive as NYC.
Thought the same thing. I am in Los Angeles and I pay less! WTF! Almost $2000 a month for the first option! It’s nice yes but still. I think the owners just jack up the price out of greed and knowing a foreigner will have it.
There was showed luxury condo. Any way, Bangkok is getting high cost living. Everywhere you go it's money. The transportation there not like in U.S. you pay each commuted it's not like subway/bus in NYC (I used to live in Bangkok and NYC before move to small state in U.S.)I feel like I spent more money when living in Bangkok. I feel calm and feel quality living life in small state is much better. Bangkok it a good place for visitor who has a nice vocation but not for long time living.
It's still a ridiculous bargain compared to San Francisco. Between SF and BKK, I'd rather live in BKK. I'm sure NYC is also in the vicinity of SF prices. That living room is the size of a $5k/mo apartment in SF.
He's looking for himself though, and he's rich
Hello, we are looking at a flat in the same residence. Did they every clean up the pool? Can you give it a like if you would recommend the overall space. Thanks!
I first did an airbnb in Bangkok in 2016. First time I came to Thailand, the room I found was actually a hotel room where someone had listed, I figured out that all the airbnb host did was wait till I booked through him and then rented a room at the hotel. He made a few bucks and I learned a lesson..
Oh wow. How do you suppose you would avoid this in the future? I see so many rooms on Airbnb for cheap in Bangkok, now I am worried if they are just hotel rooms, and if I should cut out the middle man.
@@dezzyjones It only happened the first time. You become aware of the names of condos and hotels. Compare the pictures of airbnb to pictures of agoda rooms to see if the same. It wasnt really a big markup, just the idea of it.
@@dezzyjones I always call the hotel to confirm the actual rate and see if I can book over the phone or through social media. Only time I book online is that they tell me it’s cheaper to book online.
100% option #3. Ok location, great facilites at condo and the size of the unit was excellent value per sqm .
To those asking about the price of Option 3, it was 40,000 THB/month. Sorry for leaving that out! My bad.
Im planning to headover there in september i might take option 3 if its available. Checking out Phuket for two weeks in the mean time!.. Love your videos!
wait.....not my bad! i just reviewed and realized i did put the price in!
Option 3 has a beautiful pool area, I was thinking of buying there a couple of years ago.
The third choice is the best. There is a Central Department Store and a Jod Fair where you can eat delicious food every day, shopping, partying.
@@RetiredWorkingForYou gotta love those buds )))
คุณทำคลิปที่มีประโยชน์มากๆสำหรับ คนต่างชาติ และก็โปรโมทประเทศไทยไปด้วย ดูแล้วรู้สึกดีครับ
Option 3 because Central Rama 9 has a hockey rink on the top floor. I’m a Canadian 🤷♂️
I pressed like when you jumped on the BTS. Loved that transition.
Hi Chris , Great video. Hayley makes your vid's even better . nice work
Very well constructed. Good job
the end of the video is fantastic ;D
Great video Chris! It great to see someone who knows filmmaking! Just drives me crazy when I see a video condo tour and you get. This is me eating breaking, this me taking the BTS. This is me stopping at the market and shopping. Perhaps they get to the condo in fifteen or twenty minutes. By that time I am long gone. I will take number 2!
Hi Chris. This is Chris & Faby, guest #1 & 2 from Lush. I would vote for #3 but Faby gets our last say which is #1. We are wrapping up a month in Si Lom. To your point, there are a ton of awesome restaurants speckled around here., so venture over. See you around.
Aren't these a bit pricey? I'm getting about a quarter of those amounts on my Airbnb for entire condos for the same month's stay. Anybody??
Yes, very pricey. Not having a clean pool is not a good sign of the owner/ management, but Option 1 was very roomy and a great area to live.
Agree. The 80.000 THB is ridiculous for the state and facilities of the accomodation.
Not the first time they pick expensive. Their Chiang Mai AirBnB hunt was also totally out of touch with the real prices.
This channel loves to go expensive and never does the research. But money doesn't seem to be an issue, so if they are happy.. Let them.
Chris is a successful youtuber - 250k subscribers - he can afford it - you do the Math !
I liked option 2 but more importantly I love your return to some housing videos :) Your way of showing them is definitely my favorite. I hope you enjoy the last week or two Anna before she goes back to school!
I liked option 2...I loved being close to the park. But we've only stayed in Bangkok for a month 2 times. We usually stay a few days and then go north or south.... and return for a few days before flying out. Love your videos.
Hello Chris. I like more expensive version of option 2 because of the bar by the pool. The gym is better than option 1, as you said. But outside of the green pool, all were nice. Take care 😊
Hiya Chris, always informative. Haha, great video. Love your humor. Have a great weekend.
Hey Chris, just discovered your channel. Liked and subscribed!
Thanks for doing what you're doing. I'm a big fan of yours after watching just a few of your videos and browsing your site. You're inspiring. (Especially the "Pay It Forward")
By the way, the transition between your cuts is so smooth!
Your 3rd option is my old apartment! It was actually a great place to live and super convenient location and a really weird electronics mall across the street. Enjoy your new spot!
Hi, could you please share any info on how exactly find this place?
One time I stayed at the Banyon Tree near Lumphini Park. THe park was wonderful. The first time we were there we saw turtles all over the place, then this big lizard, but turned out to be monitor lizards. So exciting. It was a wonderful neighbourhood!!
Number one is definitely best. Love your videos mate🙏🏽🙏🏽
Loving your content, took me a while to get used to your style but now I love it and tell everyone I know about you
Option 2 for the inclusiveness (a cleaning service) and clean pool/hot tub/park. A quick dip in the pool is always nice and I didn't see that happening at option 1. I'm sure you made the right choice with your local knowledge and on the ground observations. Video's don't pick up everything. Enjoy guys. Always a pleasure. Peace out.
Excellent work. All the info I wish I had years ago. Not much has changed in regards to Airbnb
I would definitely go for option 3. Half price of first one. And a great view too!
Si Lom woulda been crash pad of the month for me. Location, location, location!
Hey man, love your content. I’m likely moving to Thailand at some point soon in the future. The information you share really helps me figure out exactly where in Thailand I’ll begin the next chapter in my life. I appreciate you and all who help you create this terrific channel of yours. Thanks so much!
Christopher
I like option 3 same as you because of good neighborhood , good price, but option 1 is also good. Its huge. You are a good husband. because you do what your wife wants
Hello Chris, I just watched an interview with you on Thairish Times where you revealed that “your voice is annoying” opinion. I was stunned about this statement as I truly believe that you have great voice, like a professional entertainer!
I actually admire you how much effort you put into pronunciation of spoken words. how articulate you are, and I wish 90% of TH-camrs could learn from you as some of them could really learn a lot from the way you speak. If it means anything to you, your voice has a character and is very original.
Keep up the great work that people keep benefiting from and can understand spoken word. Your videos are very professional with interesting ideas. Thanks.
I would've chosen option 2 because the pool was available to use. I also like option 3 view. We've stayed at Airbnb's in Bangkok and other places in Thailand. I never spend close to that much mind you that was pre pandemic so prices maybe much higher all over Thailand. Lumpini Park is also a very cool park to visit. Love your video editing style Chris. Be well.
Another great video Chis and a good cross section of property out there in another nice area that’s worth looking into for longer stays 👍
Nice video, option 3 for me could have some great days out with the change 😁🍺😎
Option 1 was my fav, great final choice
Every time your videos show Chris that someone can speak to the 'Man of the house' or the 'Lady who knows what's happening' I believe you are 0-3 on making them crucial decisions, as it should be!
I'd have to agree with Hayley on this one, choice number 1, nice clean spacious layout in a great part of town. Enjoy!
Love the videos. Can’t wait to be there
Chris is whipped😊. All three have advantages and disadvantages. If you are living by yourself you
probably go with the cheapest one.
Option 1 🙌 so spacious and lots of storage. More updated than the other 2.
Hey Chris......always great watching your videos. Will be arriving from Ottawa July 3, hope to be able to meet up with a fellow Canuck.
Hey Chris! Love the channel. From Vancouver and live in Thailand part time although, not as much as I'd like. I put on Retired when I'm feeling home sick for Thailand. Being in Canada most of the year I try to keep up my Thai language by learning to read Thai (love the subtitles btw) which allows me to get new vocab when I don't have native speakers to talk to. I would love to see you start formally studying Thai if you're not doing so already. It would be very cool if you did a comparison of some of the different language schools and resources! Keep up the good work and eat some Pad Grapao for me!!
Good effort mate thanks for the content
I just went on AirBnB and it appears there are plenty of spaces for less than 1,000. The "budget" option doesn't seem all that budgety! 😃
Just look at a studio condo in BKK on Airbnb with a gym and pool in the building. It is $400 a month with a monthly discount from the host. It seems that there are many places like that.
@@jasonlucas2328 where do you look? Airbnb?
Option 1 for me too Chris.
I think I have watched two or three if these videos and Haylee always picks the most expensive one I have noticed.
1 was the choice 👍
Option 3 I have travelled Europe and stayed in many bnbs I know what’s important. If your staying for at least a month you need a washer. Kitchen fridge. In Europe there washers are also dryers or we will put clothes on the balcony. You need the basics if your on vacation and nice of course. Need to see the sights and be able to swim in ocean at some point. Tfs good prices.
Dude, your videos are awesome!
1 for sure. :) Great Video.
Thanks for voting
I'm in Bangkok on 16th July. You doing another meet up? Or maybe one in Samui cause I'm there after 25th July woo ...wet myself with excitement 😆
#1 is best location and it’s spacious!😊
Rama 9 is a great area to stay. Its more affordable and you still have access to everything you need.
Love option 1 all the way.
Option 1 is a great choice! Aloha Chris 🤙
Definitely liked the openness of number 1.
Great video again Chris plenty info and options , when is the next Pay It Forward coming up
All of them are looks great
The prices are also different of each One.
I'm enjoyed watching and learning about my birth
place in Bangkok now a days looks a Lots different than sixty years ago.
Definitely number 1......thought the rental prices were alot cheaper than the states..guess not. must be the Bangkok vibe...
Last one looked the best to me. Option 3.
Great video man! I've been loving Thailand so much! Would love to get together and chop it up!
I'll be back in Bangkok this weekend for a few days! 🙌🏻
Nice and fun and interested, very super. Thanks.
I like option no 1.
Thank you. Great channel.
I learned from the locals in the Philippines that mosquitos can only fly 65 feet in the air. When I looked it up, the source I found said 90 feet, if you like to try to cool with outside air, it's best to be above the third floor. I also look for cross ventilation.
Option #1 because I love this area. 😊
haha nice to see ekamai is getting much needed airtime in your videos! such a good neighbourhood!
I would have went with option 4.. all overpriced! Considering 1 month in Pattaya AirBnB go from 200$ a month.. and really nice buildings near the beach
I think they are all overpriced too. Typical rent sites and Airbnb seem to offer way more modern and cheaper apartments.
200 dollars a month for a nice condo near the beach is just a lie. I'm sorry. That's bullocks
@@ue7483 about 600 for a new one in Pattaya like 5 min walk away from beach
@@multa7053 that might be possible, but is then a great deal. 200 is just a lie though
@@ue7483 yeah, you need to check rental sites. but 200 isn‘t possible publicly. probably if you know someone or something but not normally
I like the serviced apartment at #2. Close to the park is great 👍
Great video once again Chris. I always wondered what a "serviced apt." was.
Love your video
I used to work for Bandara as a hotel trainer in koh samui. I stayed in their 2-bedroom in Bangkok too. Very nice. Free rides to bts.
definitely option 2, coming soon Thailand...
Option 2 for the reasons already meationed. Plus the apt. colors felt more inviting and warmer.
Great Video! Always entertaining; option for #2 for me, usually Modern comes with a higher Price Tag; give me some of that "old world " appeal let's not lose the culture of the past within the tides of change; the world is changing fast enough. Let's explore the wayside attractions and find the beaty of the past within the winds of change.
Hayley was spot on. I lived at Ploenchit for 7 years in Soi Nailert just opposite Ruamrudee and its a superb location. Genuinely. Everything you could possibly need is either on your doorstep or within striking distance and that's worth paying a little bit more for.
none of the above. I will park myself at J.W MARRIOT HOTEL NANA that cost maybe close to 80,000 thb for a month for 2pax with buffet breaksfast,laundry,electricity,water,Wi-Fi unlimited coffee and snack and many more
How did you get under $80 USD per day rate at the JW? They were posting at least $130 for long term rate for me.
@@GL-ls1eo I had a word with AUSTCHAM THAILAND 3rd party they place that rate to me direct hotel counter post higher rate
Holy crap those prices went up and more when you get closer to the city. Thanks for the englightment, now I know I picked well myself :)
Perfect timing to release this video esp July is gonna be fully open without restrictions, I'm thinking to stay in Thailand for few months and airbnb is definitely a good option. Good job Chris!
What are rules for unvaxxed visitors? U say no rules so i am curious
Option 1. Good video.
Great video, as always. I'd love to see a house/apartment hunting video that is pet friendly. We are having a hard time finding an apartment 2 month rental in Chiang Mai that will allow our little dog. Turns out Thailand is not so dog friendly compared to other countries we have traveled to.
Hilarious episode. As the man of the house, you really never get what you want, lol.
I loved the ending!😂😂women always make the right decisions. Even when they’re wrong 😂❤
Option # 1 hands down for me.
Hi chris, I with hayley option 1 😍✌🏻
Number 1 I think so good.
Overpriced, but option #1 was the right choice!. Enjoy!
I feel funny of myself. I'm Thai, was living in Bangkok before. Now I asked my self where can I live if I have to visit Bangkok for a few months. Booom You are my answer!!! LoL
Option 3 was a good spot!
2.09 I can see spider webs on your head.Yeah welcome to Thailand.according to the news a few days ago Bkk.just've got lost 2 people from transformer exploded.have a safe journey around BKK.Chris.Enjoy your adventured in Thailand.✌✌💪💪👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👌
I love Airbnb. It really helps me to save money.
After seeing your tours of air B and B I would definitely consider one in Bangkok. Option 1 is my choice.
I'll split it with you.
You really cant beat the location of the Bandara Suites of Ssladaeng. Stayed there many a time and though they are showing their age the price and location makes it a winner for me.
My family love staying in Airbnbs. We usually stay in hotels but just started using Airbnbs.
Excellent work thanks
Happy wife...happy life...lol. #1 was definitely nicest of 3. Looks like a great location too. Interesting to see the different places. Way cheaper than a place in T.O. Hoping you enjoy the new pad.
Why I stay unmarried. Don’t have to be concerned about a happy wife! Too much. Love being free and single! 😎
I'd have selected #2, but 1 was fine, except for the green swimming-pool. And Silom and Ploen Chit are both places I would have pleasure to live around.
I think 2 but you made the right choice
Option number one . 👍🙂
Hi,
I am from Cambodia and it is really helpful information for us if we like to stay some long term in Thailand, really appreciate it and hope to see you in person one day.
Option 3 is better it's abit smaller than option 1 but most of the time your out and .about anyway so a smaller apartment does not matter can't believe you gave in! Anyway who cares as long as your together have fun
I liked option 2. Nice pool, nice gym, nice neighborhood, nice apartment, nice view. Did you get any assurances about fixing the pool on opinion 1?
Brian, I liked option 2 also for all those reasons you said. In fact, I booked a 4-night stay later this month so I can have an in-depth look to see if this could be a future go-to place for long-term Bangkok stays. Cheers.
@@markfoley3923 very cool, I’m glad you shared. Such a fun medium. I hope you remember to send me your review!
Although option 1 is definitely the nicest, I would have opted for option 3 or even 4 due to the much lower prices. I would trade a month of living in a nice apt for a month of "free" meals and ride shares.
