I’ve written up two articles on my other website Travelhappy that can help you with finding cheap apartments in Bangkok:
Finding long term accommodation in Bangkok – this gives an overview of the different apartments I looked at when trying to find a place under 20,000 Baht a month. I list websites, prices and pros and cons of the different places I looked at.
Using Facebook and Craigslist to find Bangkok Apartments – this describes the way these social networking sites make it easier to find Bangkok accommodation
If you just want to start browsing, here’s the sources I found most useful
- 9Apartment.com – this site has stacks of cheap rentals – it’s in Thai and English – the link goes direct to the English version
- MrRoomFinder.com – this is another great site to find cheap apartments in Bangkok
- MrRoomFinder’s webmaster, Aitch, spends a lot of time on the Ajarn.com forums, which is also worth keeping an eye on for cheap places to rent. Ajarn.com is a forum for English teachers in Thailand – they have a subforum dedicated to Bangkok apartment rentals.
- Bangkok Craigslist – lots of estate agents post their rentals here – you won’t find many super cheap rentals however
- ThaiVisa Thailand House Rentals – lots of listings for Bangkok from this very well established Thailand site – probably not quite as useful as the Accommodation forum
- Facebook Thailand Marketplace – lots of listings but for the whole country so need to skim
- BK Magazine (a free weekly listings magazine for Bangkok) has an excellent website where its Classfieds section lists all Bangkok apartment ads online
- Bangkok Post newspaper (daily English language paper in Thailand) – lots of listings in the paper version but not online – tend to be for apartments 15,000 Baht and up
- The Nation newspaper (daily English language paper in Thailand)
– the websites for both these newspapers are not much good for apartment hunting, but the daily Classifieds section is worth checking at least every couple of days.
