My girlfriend and I have just returned to the country after a few months in Mongolia. We previously lived in Chiang Mai where we had a long term arrangement with a guesthouse, so we have no experience of renting in BKK.
We arrived a couple of days ago and booked 5 nights in a squalid hotel in the hope of finding somewhere to stay for the next 3-4 months, and I've spent the last few days browsing through the various real estate sites. Everywhere looks pretty much the same to me, and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to differentiate between decent places and crapholes based on the grainy photos available.
There are a couple of prospects we're looking into tomorrow, but neither looks particularly promising. I'd rather not burn any more money on hotels, so I'm really hoping we can find somewhere by the time we check out of here on Tuesday (perhaps a little optimistic).
So, I wonder if any of you good people can recommend a place to stay. Perhaps you've had a good experience with your own apartment complex, and can't believe you found such a great place for pennies (or, on the flip side, you're in a shithole and you want to warn people away).
Our budget is around the 10,000/month mark. Ideally a little lower as I'm a bit greedy with the air con, so the power bill will kill me.
District: Din Daeng/Huai Khwang within walking distance of an MRT station, ideally, as we have friends there, or somewhere along the Sukhumvit BTS line if the price doesn't make my ears bleed.
Facilities: studio (obv., with this budget). Wifi, fridge, maybe a balcony so I can smoke without killing the missus.
Cheers
