To give you some context, there are 5* hotels, including the biggest chains, where the average day rate across the year is in the 3k to 4k range and where routinely you can get 5 for 4 deals, making the effective range 2.5k to 3k a day. But that is just for a week or two. When you get to multiple months, you are hugely discounted again and the monthly is not 30 x 3k = 90k but rather somewhere in the 50/60k range though some are 80k I agree. You also don't need to sign for a year, maybe 3 months and then monthly. Then you have serviced apartments, which are larger than these overpriced shoeboxes and where the TV is more than 1m from your head. I don't say expats are on 40/60k. Poor retirees perhaps but I've been an expat and a real working expat would be looking at 500k plus a month and in finance, much more than that. Still, you wouldn't get much of a youtube audience showing the slums of 5k a month would you :)

Lived in almost every Asian country past 20 yrs. Problem with Thailand is foreigners can't own landed properties, so you get pushed to condos (unless you buy Thai Co, or put house in Thai wife's name, which many European and Aussie friends did and got it stolen). A 50 to 75 sq m condo unit can be built for 400k thb, but Thai property developers sell them to foreigners for 12m to 20m thb. Is big rip off. Almost everything you do, there's a scam waiting for you. I have friends with 25 to 35 yr leases in Phuket and Pattaya, for 500 to 900 sq m homes, so you don't really own it. Thailand has very high rental tax if you rent out anything you buy, and other costs so is hard to have cash flow positive properties. Plus high sales tax when you sell it, and you will. Rent, okay, but don't buy. You will get cheated or can't resell it. Market is flooded. Developers keep making more and more insane priced condos for sucker foreigners to buy. Watch out... Malaysia foreigners can own land, landed properties, and prices are much more reasonable, even beach front properties, which is almost impossible in Thailand other than Phuket, Samui, or Hua Hin area by leasehold. (Good luck selling in Thailand. I know houses up for resell in Phuket 5-6 years, still not sold. So it's a trap . Know what you're getting into first, and how deep. PS there's nothing glamorous about bkk.

Yeah, cool. Like the yellow stain on 3:21 haha. Sky-lounge/2-pools/gym/coworking area/and extras are currently a standard for every relatively new condo. You can get a 30sqm studio for 10k baht near MRT/BTS with the same amenities. It's just you buy extra bedr/bathr AND location for extra 20-30k. While First and Second are not being any special, I'd say they are like 10-15k overpriced above the market average. But can completely justify the last one though as It is simply the unique multilevel layout, great views (can imagine the evening one) for both MB and Living Room

Those three condos are all beautiful and modern with great amenities and are in convenient locations but are all so expensive for retirees. I really don't understand why any retiree would choose to live in Bangkok and pay those rents. There are so many spectacular places in Thailand where your monthly budget all up would be less than the rent on that last condo.

One thing that I can tell you - is NEVER expect to get your initial deposit back. Just go into a rent situation knowing that and you'll be fine. Most expats are used to a system where that is returned and it simply just doesn't happen in Thailand. Also the owner must file paperwork in order for you to receive your Certificate of Residence which is necessary to get a driver's license etc. If the owner won't do this - then DON'T rent the space. Thais do a very good job with creating a good first impression - but once you peel a couple of layers back you really see that a lot of what you see is smoke and mirrors. I have seen spaces (such as those featured) go to complete $hit in 10 years... pools are not kept up, gym equipment becomes 10 years old and not replaced/serviced etc. Check thoroughly before you move into a space.

To put things in contrast, I've rented 5 apartments with Thaï landlord in the last 10 years in Bangkok and always got my deposit back. Never been true an agent (totally useless imo and most not reliable when contact them..). One landlord even upgraded the A/C unit at her cost due to noise complaints without asking much question. Defect from the room unit are often the following : painting / spotlight position / cracks/ doors adjustement... And some furniture easy to fade, yes. Often technician available at the juristic office isn't better than the builder who build that building about finition. Don't ask them to cover a crack or paint a wall... Advice i can give to anyone looking for a condo in Bangkok is to make sure there is no new construction or vacant land beside the building or one day you will have to deal with noise pollution. Beware that most of those apartments are poorly insulated from noise. Also depending of the street your condo stand by, make sure of no stray dog presence on your way to 7 eleven at night and street food seller to ruin the pavement with waste. About amenities most recent building for the last 5 years seems to have very correct gym equipment you can really use, not like 10/15 years ago were everything was crap. Also in my opinion all condo amenities i have visited except mine (friends/airbnb...) were well maintained. I guess most of people having issues with that part renting low budget condo like ''Regent', Lumphini...''. Also lot of people rent older buildings to get cheaper bigger surfaces (Sathorn/Silom/Sukhumvit...). Once renovated this is look awesome but their swimming pool and other amenities are often in ugly condition... Also avoïd to rent anything in the phra khanong district (Onnut to Samrong ) this area is easy to get flooded in low season.

I have lived in Bangkok almost three years. I have lived in two different locations during that time. I have found that many of the condo rentals are well used and very rough around the edges.. Even after only being a few years old. Meaning some furniture worn to the point of should be replaced. Especially mattresses . This is due because the furniture is usually of low quality. And the number of renters the specific unit might have had. Don’t expect them to paint or clean any scuffed or dirty walls. They will for the most part do a basic cleaning before you move in. And they usually will not replace any furniture. So it might take time to find a decent place. One that is fairly new. Or one a few years old where the owner actually maintained it properly

That is awesome! Great apartments, fantastic view! Love those videos! Ps. I don’t know if is possible but can you guys show short term rentals like 3-4 months?

super man iv been thinking about shifting to bangkok for a month or two now use to stay in Fraser suites but is kinda expensive..will surely go through you to book my next condo living space hopefully for the coming month of January or February .

Gosh….. honestly a bit more expensive than I was expecting. $2,250 can get you a decent apartment in Brooklyn or Jersey City. Not in a luxury high-rise, but you could get luxury with amenities for under $3K around NYC. I wouldn’t move to BKK > NYC to save $5-$600 on rent. It would take almost a year just to make the flight there worth it! 😅

Wow those are crazy epic views of Bangkok any of those condos would cost 20k usd a month in New Your City. I love visiting Bangkok. but I think I will keep my little beach cottage. Love the videos, Chris. Keep them coming mate.

Top work! Many thanks!!!!

I really like number one !! Don’t know anything about the neighborhoods but really beautiful condos

I was just in Bangkok last week touring condos along the bts railway locations. These prices are not at all correct. I looked at condos that cost over $1500/mo USD and they were old and smelled like garbage. Very disappointed in the bait and switch

Please do a video with some cheaper options. Thanks for the video! Very beautiful.

Wow! Amazing, congratulations!

You know there's a lot of condominiums in the BKK vicinity like Bangna district and Samutprakan province . Anyway you can see a nice view from the high floor from there and also the rent fee is affordable.

You couldn't get something like that in NYC for 10x that price. Bangkok here I come. Thanks Chris

ohh wow...that's really not cheap anymore! we ofc dont have condo buildings, but Germany is cheaper than what you showed here! just watched an other Bangkok video before this where they showed a smaller but new places, a little further outside of the city - with a MRT downstairs for less than US$200

Mate you are really kicking things up. Good on your my Bra. You work so friggin hard eh.

Been a legal resident of Portugal since 2016...Bang for buck tough to beat...for a T/1 - 1 bedroom condo in one of the most expensive places in Portugal...my gal and I pay €700 euros a month...that's 350 each...Impossible to find in most places of the world...I'm in Bilbao, Spain today...Flew here for €30 euros...That's the beauty of Europe...Did Asia during my Navy days...Too many people, too far away...I won't live in a building over 10 stories, period...Thailand is beautiful...not my cup of tea...🇵🇹🤘✌️🤙😎

I stayed at park 24 maybe in 2019 ,and it was amazing, one of my favourite condos in bkk

Fellow Canadian here......pl do a video on Short term rentals (2-3 months) in Bangkok to escape the snow!

The Address - Reject: Maid service once every 2 MONTHS? At that price, I would expect every 2 days. Or at least weekly. AND the refrigerator is hinged on the wrong side. Park 24 - Reject: It has a library? How can it be a library if it has no books? Ashton - Reject: Impractical floor plan. Have to carry food downstairs from the kitchen to the dining room, and carry dirty dishes back upstairs. But ... more important ... Why should I go to Bangkok to live in an over-priced high-rise condo? If I wanted to live in an expensive high-rise in a hot, humid city where there's a thunderstorm every afternoon, I could go to Miami and not have to worry about my visa expiring.

Exactly... What people don't see in these youtube videos is that the weather is horrible. Very hot and humid and the air is way too polluted to be healthy. I was there four days and was happy to return to Germany where I pay 600€ mortgage for a two rooms apartament 🙂

I'm from NYC these places would cost $5-10k plus in Manhattan with less amenities. $1500 is good price but still expensive for Bangkok if that makes any sense.

Same here in SF,CA. For this kind of luxury high-rise living it's very expensive here. Hell, for $1500/month you're lucky to get a room in a shared 4 bedroom older place with one BA! There will be literally dozens of applicants for that room. So, I do think that these prices are high for Bkk but I don't have as much sticker shock because of where I live.

Cool stuff. Always nice to see the more premium properties. Most videos I’ve seen are how to live on nearly nothing. My base will likely be Bangkok so would be willing to pay a bit more there.

I used to live in park origin, epic building and really nice staff:)

Hey Chris , you know I love your chanel and vlogs, but brother you should be wearing a helmet when on the back of a bike especially in Bangkok. Only worried about your safety 👍🪖

Will look you guys up when I move there!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Bangkok! I lived there for five months in 2016. I've missed it ever since I left. Time to go back!

My two cents since I saw many complaints about the prices. All these 3 buildings are at the top range of each developer (luxury segment as they claim), hence the high prices. The super luxury segment can go even wilder. If you go lower in the range the prices can be 3-5x cheaper but of course you get inferior locations and less amenities. For example: The Address -> check out Life or Aspire brands from the same developer Park 24 -> check out Knightsbridge or The Origin Ashton -> check out Ideo or Elio I am a real estate investor myself and can say that the rents have returned to the pre-covid prices (in most cases) but not higher. There are both an oversupply and a supply shortage in the market depending on what locations and segments you are looking at.

These prices 50-60k per month for 70 m2 are ridiculous. You can build a 70 m2 apartment for less than 2 M Baht. The interior is mostly low grade materials. Rent should be around 10k for this.

@@basedpatriotLT It can get pretty specific. Just an example: a well-decorated mid-sized 1br dog-friendly apartment close to Ekkamai BTS will fly within a week of availability with high rental yield while a tiny studio apartment in Phrompong could remain listed for as long as a year if not longer. Customers searching in different areas do have demands for different products.

Hi Chris, love your videos have seen them all, from Toronto too. Love watching your adventures. I know your doing the condo tour great love to see prices, but was wondering if you could do something for those people that want to come to Thailand on short stay vacation like a month. What condo are available, especially along the river great views of Bangkok. THANK YOU , hope to meet up with you one day. Mark

Would love to see apartments with clothes dryers in unit. Seems rare, but to me essential. I've lived in apartments (in the US) that didn't have in unit washer/dryer. It's such a time-suck to not be able to throw your clothes in and run other errands.

15-17,000 for a 1BR unit is very doable in BKK and I’m talking about excellent buildings here next to the BTS.

Great tours!! Thanks for sharing this Chris! Are the rentals like the US in that the lower the floor, the less expensive they are in the high rises? I'm not a fan of heights even though the views are incredible! Happy Holidays!

What's this guy talking about ... estimated 70% of Bangkok condos are empty. You can rent a nice, 4 story,4br 4bath house, fully furnished, centrally located for less than $700. Condo prices mentioned here are stupid.

you are getting ripped off for those prices. There is still a glut of condos rental in Bangkok!!!!
