I worked in Thailand for 16 years and now retired in a small town in rural Thailand. I think I should join the 1000+ TH-cam bloggers in Bangkok.
🤷♂️
Airbnb is a great place to find your home for the first month in Bangkok. If you unfortunately choose a lemon, Airbnb is usually quick to find you a new place. And there is no risk of stolen deposits as well.
Agree 100%. I’ve rented a few airbnbs during my time here and they’ve mostly been good. The one time I had a problem AirBnB stepped in and resolved the issue 👍
Thanks for the tidbit on which landlords often don’t give back the deposit. :D Until now, that wasn’t a parameter on my condo-finding checklist.
It’s not as bad as some people make it seem, but definitely a few things to watch out for.
It has been wonderful episode and i was listening thoroughly and slowly.Well,there are heaps of practical information down there.Thanks Eric and also thanks for allowing to join Facebook group.I am happy to be there too.
Good overview about the condo market and the various possible issues. The great thing about Bangkok is though, that there is a loooooot available in all kinds of sizes, conditions and price ranges. Easily a couple of ten thousand empty places. Whereas in my home town of ~4m people in Europe right now there's at best 1k condos available at any time. Cause almost nobody is building. And Bangkok makes things so super easy with far more modern buildings with all amenities.
Yes agree 100%
Thanks!
Your doing good work Eric! great content!
Thanks 🙏
thank's for info
Mike from Maine … emailed Amelie yesterday …if you talk with her the libations for all will follow ...see you next weekend …TY a maniac from Mass. born in Beverly …not Hills !
That’s awesome and thank you so much for the super thanks 🙏 I hope you have the absolute best time here!
Where can i find the District that you said ? ecome or something. I don't find it :(
Ekkamai maybe?
"Them" and "They" - so many thais have trouble saying these words properly including my Thai girlfriend - it always comes out as "dem" and "dey" 😅
Because there’s no “Th” sound in Thai and when you see a Thai word spelled with a “Th” it’s always pronounced with a hard “T” sound (e.g. “Thailand”) 🤓
You never mentioned about renting in Bkk with a cat ! Is it hard to find a place you can bring your cat to?
I would say 95% of the modern luxury condos do not allow pets unfortunately. And even if the building allows it, that doesn’t mean the landlord will.
25k of course you are not going to get a fancy rooftop pool. I stayed in condos under 10k a month with infinity pools.
