The most popular – and most expensive – area for foriegners to rent apartments in Bangkok is Sukhumvit, the 5th Avenue of Bangkok. Sukhumvit is Bangkok’s longest street with over 100 substreets – or sois – branching off it. There is a huge amount of rental apartments located around here with hundreds more being built, mainly in the mid to luxury range.
Sukhumvit is the entertainment centre of Bangkok, while Silom towards the river is the business district. Both are well served by the Sky train and the MRT, Bangkok’s underground railway. These two public transport networks form an interconnecting circle around Bangkok’s central districts. There are increasing apartment rental opportunities available around each of the Skytrain and MRT stations, especially the MRT as it only opened a couple of years ago. These apartments tend to be cheaper than Sukhumvit and although still pay a premium for being located near a public transport station, prices can be a lot more affordable with the convenience of easy transport.
