Apartment blocks dominate the skyline in Bangkok, and new developments seem to be endlessly rising from the rubble. While concerns about the city losing its heritage and charm are warranted, this abundance of apartment blocks means that you, the potential tenant, can afford to be picky.
Apartments in Bangkok are rooms rented out by the owner of the building - usually a property developer - for an extended period of time (normally not less than six months). These are popular especially with expatriates, mostly because they can find everything they need here. Readily available maintenance or repair services, 24-hour security, and, more often than not, amenities including gym, pool, garden and children's play area make them very attractive propositions to those with hectic, fast-paced lifestyles.
And, with many developers turning to rentals to generate income, the choice out there is on the rise. You'll find that apartment blocks vary a lot according to style, location, quality and facilities, as well as, of course, price. They can be let furnished, partly furnished or unfurnished.
