Thread: Townhouse, 6,000/month, 1 month deposit, 2-bed/2-bath, On Nut 24 or Sukhumvit 93

The townhouse next to me has just been vacated and I wouldn't mind having a fellow Ajarner for a neighbor instead of a total stranger. It's also a great deal for someone looking to move out of a small condo into something more like a house so, I'm putting it up here. I have no financial motivation or involvement in the matter.

The landlady is really easy going, she fixes things promptly and is very farang friendly. I might go so far as to say she prefers farang tenants. There is no lease, month to month from day 1 and the deposit is only 1 months rent (6k). This is a lot of house for less than what most people pay for a tiny studio apartment. You pay the electric and water utilities directly to the municipality.

The location is about a 25 minute walk from BTS On Nut or a 25 Baht motorcy ride. The walk time will drop to 15 min. when the BTS extension is finished, possibly this year. If you drive freeway access is excellent with Sukhumvit soi 62 onramp just minutes away. Also, as you can see by the title of the thread the house can be accessed by both Sukhumvit 93 or On Nut 24. I almost always go 93 to avoid the On Nut traffic. It's on a nice quiet road that is part of a U shape so there's no through traffic here.

There are a lot of soi dogs and they occasionally make a racket but they are far better behaved than the neighbors' dogs who are locked in a concrete pen all day. If you have a *big* problem with dogs this is not the right place for you. If they bother you a bit then in a couple of months you won't even notice anymore. They provide excellent security and I'm very happy to have them personally. They're all cared for and fed by an Aussie who lives on the street so no mange, etc...

The house is partially furnished and the landlady will probably negotiate with you if you want her to provide any more furniture but you're going to have to provide your own bed, appliances (washing machine, fridge, cooking plates), etc...

The split-level house is about 100 square meters of house, my rough estimate, including the 20 sqm kitchen that was an outdoor at one time but has since been enclosed. There's also about 30+ sqm of patio space in the front, mostly paved.

The master bedroom is the only room in the house with A/C and you certainly need it upstairs but downstairs, on even the hottest days, its always comfortable with just a fan. The kitchen roof is exposed to the direct sun however, and mine had a skylight before I blocked it with reflective insulation, so it will swelter in there. When my girl is cooking or we're making rice / soup it's like a sauna.

Here are the pics. Keep in mind that I just took them hours after the old tenants cleared out. It will be spick & span when you move in. This townhouse is available now.

Send me a PM if you're interested and I'll put you in touch with the landlady.

If anyone refused the deal they would be crazy.

Nice area,nice house fair rental price,utilities at the normal price what more could you want and all for the price of a rabbit hutch in Bangkok.

There will be less pollution and your own front door,going for a beer will be half the price it is in Bangkok.

We lived on Onn Nut for about four years and it was great we moved further out for various reasons and are still very happy here after 7 years.

Yeah, that is a heck of a deal. If only the timing were right .....

No takers so far. I will have limited internet access the next couple of days but will check in at least once per day. I fixed the 2nd to last picture so you can now see the other 1/2 of the master bedroom.

agreed. excellent deal. it's one of the few we see posted on these pages. nice one!

You can park in the patio area behind the blue gates visible in the first pic Tommy. I park on the street and have a lot of potted plants in that area though, a small garden. The soi dogs keep things very secure and I never worry about my car except for the birds that shit on it as the parking space is directly under some electrical lines.

Much better chance of being ripped off in an apartment or condo. Many more people coming and going. Eric jus said it was safe.

Thanks Eric. I've just paid the deposit. Drove past it the first time at 04:20 pm, saw the address on the gate ****** and drove on looking for ***. Don't worry. Got there asap.

So whats the scoop tommy?

Too much bro. The one eric is in was defenders. They are great townhouses if you know that end of town. Sure as hell aint gonna beat it in any shape or form. Be great to see the both of you. We did Thanksgiving at Erics a year and a half ago.
