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. |
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. (READ MORE)

Condominiums offer a level of service similar to that found in apartments, the only big difference being that they are individually owned and so you rent directly from the proprietor. Interior décor, amenities and, of course, price will vary greatly, with properties available ranging from the refurbished to the run-down. (READ MORE)

Serviced apartments are basically well-furnished apartments minus the long-term commitment or, from a different angle, homely long-stay hotel rooms with better rates. Let on a flexible basis, these are great for those in Bangkok for extended periods, business or pleasure. (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)
