Bangkok Property Types
Without a doubt, Bangkok's property market boasts some of the most magnificent residences to be had anywhere. Exclusive apartments in luxury high-rise buildings offer stunning views of the capital's landscape, romantic riverside residences portray a different feel of the city, while an old house with an idyllic garden, tucked away in a little soi, makes you forget about Bangkok's constant hustle and bustle.
Residential properties in Bangkok range from houses, housing estates and townhouses, to apartments, condominiums and serviced apartments. The home you choose will naturally depend on your individual preferences and needs. To help you find one that's suitable here's an overview of each type of property the city has to offer. |

Interior décor, amenities and, of course, price will vary greatly, with properties available ranging from the refurbished to the run-down. (READ MORE)

These give you the greatest amount of space for a given price, but do remember that houses, especially around the CBD, are immensely more expensive and in far less supply than all other types of property.

So-called 'moo bans' (villages) are planned suburban neighborhoods, and perhaps the closest thing to wholesome 'white picket fence' living as you can possibly find in Bangkok . Popular among expatriate families, as well as middle class Thai families, these are located on the city's outskirts and often next to transport links or expressways. (READ MORE)

Townhouses offer another style of living. Typically tucked away in the sub-sois, townhouses are usually less expensive than apartments, often multi-level with small garden areas. (READ MORE)
