So I moved into a place a couple blocks away (much cheaper, no pool/gym) but great value while I keep looking around and month to month with only 1 month deposit.
So what location is THE best in your opinion? I'll go check it out ASAP. It's great not being tied down. I can sit back relax now and just take my time, looking at a place her, a place there in my spare time.
Best location depends on what your after. If you want to be right in the thick of things then something near walking street is best. If your planning on getting an education visa and want to stay here long term and be close to nightlife but not around heaps of tourists then Apus is almost perfect in terms of location. 100m to supermarket, 100m to language school, theres a gym 2 minutes walk from there which is adequate as well. Also heaps of motor bike taxis and baht buses leave from Big C and go straight to central shopping center and walking street so if you want to go out its no problem (baht bus by the way are those blue utes with people sitting in the back, 10thb to go anywhere). I live in pretty much that exact location and have no need for a car or motorbike.
Edit: Also if you want to go to BKK theres a place that has 10-12 seater vans that go every day, every half an hour for 150 baht about 200m up the road as well. It'll drop you near victory monument BTS which BKK people will tell you is a good place to get dropped off. Then on the way back they will drop you at big c as well.
