When you are moving to Bangkok for work, one of your priorities will be to find somewhere to live. Bangkok is a vast city, and it is hard to know where to live if you have never been to the Big Mango before. If you want to live somewhere, that is central and easy to get around, choosing a condo for rent in Bangkok is an excellent option. Below are some tips and advice on what to consider when looking for an apartment that can help ensure you find the perfect place for you to live.

What Is Your Budget

One of the first things you will want to consider is the budget you have available for your condo. No matter your budget, there are most likely plenty of options available in Bangkok, as there are an estimated 100,000+ empty units in the city. As well as the monthly rent, you will also have water and electricity to pay, and there is a monthly fee to pay for the upkeep of communal areas. Work out how much you can afford to pay monthly, and it will help you search for suitable condos for rent.

Choosing The Best Location

You will need to look at the location of where you will be working and then select a place to live that will make your daily commute a simple task. If your place of work is close to a BTS or MRT station, you will want to look for condos that have easy access to these that will make it easier for you to get about the city. Getting around the city can be slow as it seems to be one massive traffic jam, so using these public transport links makes travelling a much more manageable task.

Amenities To Look For In A Condo

You will also want to ensure that the condo you choose has all the amenities you want to live comfortably. Some of the standard amenities you find in condos throughout the city can include:

• 24 Hour Security
• Secure Parking
• Swimming Pool
• Gym
• Convenience Store
• Laundry
• Maid Service
• Local Shops
• Convenient Transport Links

Consider what you need to live comfortably while in Bangkok and ensure the condos you look at include what you want. With so many units available in Bangkok, it is a renter’s market, so with a bit of searching and some perseverance, you should be able to find the perfect condo for you to live in comfortably.
