Renting an apartment in Bangkok is a little different from that in China. Different countries have different policies, cultures, and customs. What are the things you need to pay attention to when renting a house in Bangkok to avoid pitfalls? Follow Apamet to learn more~

1. When renting a house, you need to consider transportation convenience

Unlike domestic first-tier cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Bangkok has a complete bus network in addition to the subway. The main means of transportation for Thais to commute is motorcycles, followed by BTS and MRT, followed by cars. Some local Thais use buses to commute to get off work.

If you are a foreigner, the frequency of taking the bus will not be too high (you can’t squeeze in during peak hours). Therefore, when foreigners rent an apartment in Bangkok, they usually choose to live near the BTS and MRT subway lines.

Therefore, during rush hours, you will see many foreigners taking the subway.

2. Which platforms are used to rent monthly and long-term rentals?

Usually due to language issues, Chinese people will choose more intermediaries. Some who are good at English or understand Thai may go to the landlord directly. But both are possible, because Thai intermediaries only charge one-way commissions to landlords, and tenants do not have to pay commissions.

Therefore, if you are new here, it is a good choice to choose an experienced and reliable agent. In addition to providing you with rental information, you can also learn about other information about Thailand through them.

If you want to rent a cost-effective apartment, you can rent it directly from ApametHome. It can be rented monthly or annually. It is relatively flexible, safe and comfortable, has convenient transportation, and has no language barrier. It can communicate in Chinese.

3. Room type selection and budget planning

According to our personal experience, most of the Chinese people who come to Thailand mainly live in Thailand. Generally, a studio is enough for 1-2 people and they live for 1-2 months. They need a good location, close to BTS, business districts, and various places. It is more convenient to wait for major attractions.

In fact, the rent in Sukhumvit Business District, Thonglor, Bangkok Siam Business District (central world, Erawan Shrine), etc. is relatively expensive. The advantage is that you can experience Bangkok’s international culture up close and experience various Internet celebrity attractions. .

Generally, better hotels cost more than 300 yuan/night, depending on the star level. Hotels in Bangkok are usually more expensive than domestic hotels, especially during the peak tourist season. Condon does not offer monthly rentals, so please book in advance to save money.

The most common hostels and guesthouses offer monthly rents of 3,000-5,000 RMB per month. However, this kind of living experience is average and is okay for a few days. Long-term rentals will be more unbearable. Prices will vary depending on geographical location.

For example, the monthly rent provided by ApametHome is similar to that of a suite hotel. The price is relatively affordable, the living experience is better, and the home appliances are fully equipped. The recently opened project is only 10 minutes away from Thong Lo Station on the BTS Sukhumvit Line. Just outside the door is the Thonglor business district, the bustling Japanese bar street at night, various food, and coffee constitute Bangkok's international nightlife.

4. Deposits and maintenance matters

Rent payment in Bangkok is 2 months deposit and 1 month rent. It is the same as the domestic deposit of 2 to pay 1.

What needs to be noted is that if you are an individual landlord renting through an agency, you need to know whether it is a foreign landlord or a Thai landlord. Because many international owners own apartments or properties in Thailand, they may not be in Bangkok, Thailand. Once some home appliances need maintenance, it is difficult to find them. Some owners will entrust an agent to take full responsibility. Make sure this is clear before signing the contract.
