Doesn't have to serviced either, just nice enough, until I find a permanent place. I'm flying to BKK August 13th and I'd like to have a place possibly figured out before then.
Jspill was kind enough to give me a suggestion a few months back (place called Srijinda Mansion). I'd be willing to spend more than that, though, for a nicer place, so I thought I'd ask everyone. On a related note, I just read an article about a "destitute" guy who plunged to his death a couple months back from that building.
Anyways, your help would be appreciated. I've spent some time searching the thread and google with limited results (mainly stuff 20,000 baht or more). Ekkamai, Ratchada maybe? Would On Nut be too far out to base myself for a month (Jspill, you still live in On Nut area?)? There's a place called Green Bells out there that looks good if it's not too far out.
I take that back about Srijinda actually, think I was misinformed. I visited it myself, and it was pretty ugly. All small studios, low quality, couldn't find the pool and gym that someone told me they have. Don't think they exist.
Anywhere there are a million nice places (with pool + fitness etc.) nearby a BTS/MRT station if your budget is 15k and you're fine with a studio not a 1 bedroom apartment. Athena Suites ratchada, Life ratchada, The Link Condo 50 in On Nut, any of the Ideo Mobi chain of places, Noble Solo Thonglor, I could lists dozens.
imo if you're 6 or less BTS or MRT stops away from Asok, you're not too far out. So anywhere up to On Nut and Ratchada stations for example is ok to live in. And the further you go, the higher quality place you get for that 15k
