One of the most important things about living in a new city is feeling comfortable with your surrounding and, as such, finding suitable apartments for remote workers in Bangkok will be essential. Bangkok is a huge city and it is growing rapidly in terms of its real estate market -- the rapid influx of long-term visitors and expats has driven the demand and supply of modern, suitable accommodation in the city’s main neighborhoods. Once you have chosen where you would like to live in Bangkok, you should take some time to research the many apartments available and choose wisely.
Perhaps more so than in other cities, Airbnb is the most useful site in any search for apartments for remote workers in Bangkok. While the site might not offer up the best prices, it provides you the added security of verified landlords and apartments with reviews. Furthermore, the site is easy to use and a great price comparison tool for apartments across the city. Your booking will also be protected, to an extent, if you book directly through Airbnb and you will also have direct contact with your Host. It is always a great idea to tell your host you plan on staying for longer, as they may be inclined to offer better long-term prices.
This huge group is the place to go on Facebook when searching for apartments for remote workers in Bangkok. It is well-moderated and active, with over 30000 members. As expected, prices vary widely here but it is a good place to find more affordable accommodation directly from landlords. Beware some ads here will be agency listings, and always be sure to research ad owners extensively before making any payments. This is a great resource to use once you are in Bangkok and can see the apartments for yourself, in person.
Another hugely useful Facebook group, “Bangkok - take over my lease” is an excellent resource for those looking for good accommodation at affordable prices. Since many landlords will require leases to be signed for at least a year, one of the best ways for remote workers to find apartments in Bangkok will be to find someone from whom to take over. This group is also a great space to find others to share a larger space with, as well as the usual short-term rentals. Once you are in Bangkok and are able to meet with ad owners and see apartments for yourself, this site will be useful.
This is a great site to search for apartments for remote workers in Bangkok - useful search features and filters make it an easy and comfortable site to search. Thaiapartment.com is an ad portal for agencies across the city and country, and you should observe if these require any additional documentation from you to rent. Agencies in Thailand are more likely to rent for minimum 1 year. Nonetheless, thaiapartment.com does have a great selection of luxury and modern central apartments at surprisingly good prices, so it is certainly worth a visit!
