They're out there. Thai style shoebox studios in smallish utterly unremarkable concrete blocks - the kind you see all over the Big Mango- but liveable. Cozy and charming, even.
By most accounts they're the same as the million other completely horrid, unthinkable Thai monstrosities of urbanity- but these gems somehow don't have it. They stay above water, they avoid being slummy. Often they're the new buildings. 6 years on they'll join the ranks of the dirt pack slum-boxes.
Thai shoebox gems. I'm looking for one. I'm talking about under 5000 baht a month, including all the bills, everything. The cost of a single big night out on the town, or a weekend in Kan. This might even be a kind of second apartment / storage closet.
I saw a few promising walk-in closets/apartments of this sort today around the Ari BTS stop. One was even pretty spacious, with A/C, good light, and a pleasant breeze for 3,500. Nice.
I bet if we pooled our collective info we could throw together a decent little list of liveable LOW-END apartments we can actually VOUCH FOR (e.g. at least done a walk-through). In the meantime, lemme know if you've got any hot tips, will ya? This is in proximity to the MRT or BTS only.
