Exactly how far is My Condo 103 from the BTS station?

Yeah--it looks like paying much less than $800/mo. to be near a BTS station is a pipe dream.

My previous apartment was 7,000B per month, fully furnished, one minute walk away from the BTS. The condo right next to me charged 12-15k for the same sized rooms.

But I guess that condo was built for hisos.

---Update---

I'd imagine the closer you get to Samut Phrakan, the cheaper the housing would be. I.e. BTS stations past On Nut.

That's more than 20,000 baht. Are you nuts?

I stayed on Soi 52, new place, 3 minute walk at most to the BTS, small gym, no pool. 10,000 a month.

I think you can rent a nice studio at The Address for less than that.

I need a one bedroom.

Bear in mind it's a one month rental, so I expect the price to be much higher than a longer term deal. Don Ho, was that price for a short term let? If so, do you mind PMing me the name of the place?

I was renting a very large comfy studio across Asiatique for 14k a month. I think 1 bed was from 18k. By month, but it's 30 mins walk to saphan taksin. Straight line though.

What's the name of the building?

There are many places around Sathorn and down to the river for 20k or less a month. The place is packed with small aparment buildings all the way down to Rama 3 that are in the 5k-20k range. That studio is a rip-off and will take you ages to get anywhere.
