the narrator was first class and I will watch again, Thank you
Thank you for the kind words! Cheers
Are you an English teacher? I am asking because you enunciate each word slowly. Your cadence is very unique, similar to an ESL teacher.
That’s a very good observation. Yeah, I teach English at an international school here. I suppose I have ingrained a certain pace of speaking over time 😅
@@thebangkokguide … I’m looking to teach English in Thailand. Would it be possible to do a video about getting teaching jobs in Thailand. Thank you.
Commenting for the algorithm! great info, thanks
Thanks!
Hi Cal. Your channel is one of the best CZcams channels in Thailand. You provide the best information as you are living in Thailand and not a tourist. Tomorrow I will be flying for the first time to Thailand thank you for providing valuable information. I will be in Thailand for two months if I meet you I will definitely come thank you in person. P.S You are a cool guy Cal.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad it was helpful. Feel free to come say hello if you happen to see me! Cheers
@@thebangkokguide Hi Cal, after watching your videos I finally bought a ticket and arrived last night. First time in Asia and it's even better then I have expected. You probably received many similar messages, still I will try my luck. What are the chances of meeting you up for few minutes in Bangkok? I can get a gram and come over when ever it's comfortable for you. P.S We look a like and we have similar interests. I am a normal guy without any bed habits.
Part 1 and part 2 allowed me to find a place within a week or so. This is the best guide on youtube
Cheers! I’m glad it was helpful and thanks for the kind words 🙏
@@thebangkokguide your are right. It is a renters market hehehe. I got my 28 sf condo for £170. £30 for the extras like broadband, electric and water. 5 to 10 minutes away from the bts station, and a couple of stops to my Thai school.
I can't tell everyone where. I can say that this system will help you find a condo, cheaply near the bts line.
For those that don't know, certain parts of the bts is where the city action is. It is the prime location. It's close to Asok, Victory Monument and siam square.
Great deal! You can definitely find some really nice places for extremely cheap prices.
Awesome thanks
Cheers!
JUST the video I was looking for!! Thank you for sharing!!
Happy to help!
Thank you for the valuable information. Excellent editing and good music. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to more videos from you.
Thank you for the kind words 😊🙏
Love the vid, I’m moving to bkk, for Uni in two weeks and I’m so excited. This video helped because I was about to put a deposit down on a condo from the States, but I will be waiting now.
Great. I’m happy it helped! Definitely better to wait and do it once you arrive. Make sure to watch Part 2 which covers leases, negotiation and how to avoid scams. It will be up in a couple of days 😊
Hey, can you give me some tipps? How was it? Where did you rent your place? Will also study for a semester at thammasat university this year.
Great video and information. I'm looking forward to checking out some condos in November!
Cheers. Let me know if you have any questions!
Nice video, nice to see a fellow Canadian flourished there. I like how you actually recommended websites and apps, very practical. Me myself also looking to move there next year as well, but the only concern I have is looking for work there (I don't want to do the English teacher route), if you are not an english teacher, you should make a video about guide on how to find work there, like what sites do they used to search for jobs, etc. Not many youtubers made videos about this topic.
Cheers! Welcome. I teach at an international school normally, which is very different from the English teaching world. Pay rates and work environments at international schools are basically the same as western countries, but employment also requires full licensing in your home country. In terms of work, it depends on the position you want and the experience you have. Foreigners are restricted from doing many jobs to protect the Thai labour market, but I have friends who work in lots of different fields here. I will do a video on working in Thailand soon.
Your videos on Condos are amazing! I plan to watch Part 2 soon!
Thank you for the kind words. Let me know if you have any questions!
Great video brotha!💪
Thank you 🙏
You are such a chill dude :D Thank you very much : )
Cheers! Thanks for the kind words!
Thanks for the very helpful tips👍 I've read that there are area's too avoid renting in Pattaya during the rainy season due to flooding. Are there similar flood prone areas in Bangkok?
Happy to help! And yes there are, the Sathorn area and Chaeng Watthana stand out from my experience, as these areas are low lying. They flood very easily.
Very helpful, thank you. Doing a bit research now as I plan my retirement in the magnificent city of Bangkok.
Good plan! Thank you for the kind words!
it's a pleasure listening your accent. Thanks a lot for the information.
Thank you for the kind words ☺️🙏
Thank you. You provide many good valuable and useful information.
Thank you for kind words ☺️
Really valuable information. Thnx for creating this videeo and sharing the secret tips
Cheers. Thanks for the kind words!
Hi! Another great video. Thanks again. Just wondering if I don't need any bells and whistles, or a big space, and living a minimalist lifestyle and single with no family whatsoever, but like to live with more "privacy" ( living in a condo community usually means you're always surrounded by lots of people, and if it's in central metropolis, it's even more so) and close to MRT / rapid public transportation, is it possible to find a rental like that near Bangkok with USD300~ /m. Just need a simple/ basic place where I can cook my own healthy food, water, electricity, A/C, the usual suspects? Thank you.
Yeah you can. But the lower priced condos are often busier as they are more appealing to the local market. I'd recommend looking for low-rises. My current condo has become too crowded as well. Not a fan of crowds either. Cheers
Very nice video and excellent info. Thank you from Toronto
Cheers! Thanks you 🙏
Thanks Cal
If I were to stay in Bangkok for longer period pf time, Jetts would be a good deal. Meanwhile I use the gyms in Lumpini for a daily rate of 57 cents.
Yeah, I like to workout at Benjasiri... free haha
Interesting presentation of the material and the quality of the shooting!
Thank you for the kind words!
With so many videos like this those condos will be the same price as they are in countries that we are trying to escape from.
Actually there is a huge oversupply of condos in Bangkok. It’s more likely that the whole market will crash.
Very informative and just subscribed to your channel fellow Canuck..Do you still have ties with Canada meaning returning occasionally?
Also what time of year is ideal to visit a few months as an intro ? Keep up the good work
Thanks for the kind words. With all the craziness of the last few years, I haven’t been back since 2019. Perhaps next year I will make an effort. Brutally long flights make it tough to wanna go though 😂 If you don’t mind heat, I’d recommend coming around March-April. Songkran, the Thai new year festival, is probably one of the funnest experiences I have ever had. You also skip pollution season which runs through to around March, and dodge rainy season which starts in late June. Lemme know if you have any questions!
Cheers mate! Thank you for the informative video, really nice! You have stayed in Thailand for 7 years right? Have you ever thought about buying a condo? In a long run it would get cheaper I guess? Do you know the important things about buying a condo in BKK? I bet some things are the same and some are different than renting one, would be really interesting to hear your ideas of buying one if you have experience in that field as well. I visit BKK 3-4 months in a year and am planning to buy my own condo in 1-2 years.
The condo market is really oversupplied...and I feel it is quite a risky investment here. I will cover this subject in a video one day as I think it is a good subject and something I have looked into a lot!
Condo near the university and college
have a good choice if you need not expensive.
Yes true. It’s also great to have a beautiful campus nearby. Thanks for the input 😊🙏
NIce to see a Canadian there. what is the visa process for a digiital nomad, please do a video on visas. thank you.
Check my videos on visas, as I cover this quite a bit! Cheers!

Great video! If I go to Bangkok for 3 months, is it easy to find a condo for this short time, for 3 months? Because on these websites there are only for one year.
I am a hungarian youtuber btw. If I make videos in my condo for hungarian viewers in hungarian language, about hungarian topics, and I am on a tourist visa for 3 months, is it ok? Or I need a work permit? Thank you very much!
Yeah you can find one, but it can be better to opt for an Airbnb on a monthly rental. You can also check Facebook marketplace for lease takeovers and shorter term rentals. These are fairly common but be a bit more cautious as scams are much more common in this space. Most agencies won’t do short term rentals as they won’t be able to collect their one month fee from the owners on such short leases. In terms of work permits, you should be totally fine. I’ve never heard of anyone having an issue with working online while on holiday. If your planning for three months a tourist visa plus a 30 day extension will cover you.
Hope it helps. If you have any questions just let me know. I will be covering visas and work in a video soon 😊
@@thebangkokguide Thanks very much! You helped a lot!
Beautiful
Yes, very!
Intro music is shiddy
Yeah it’s an older vid I made 😂
Like ur vlog...u spent a long time in Bangkok 😮
Thank you for the kind words, and yes I have! It's a great city!
@@thebangkokguide welcome friend...I m also thinking of visiting bangkok..watched ur lovely vlogs ..big city with good vibes..
My thai friend said that I can walk into the condo building and they would be able to show me the spaces available. Is this true? I dont want to deal with hip flat etc..
Yep. It’s actually what I recommend in the video haha. I use hipflat etc to locate condos to checkout and for price comparisons between buildings.
@ajarn_cal Cool, this is what I'll do!
Thank you! What is the name of the park in the video? I absolutely love the park. Also, do you know if it’s difficult to find a condo allow small dog?
This is Benjakiti park. Love it as well! You can find condos that are pet friendly but it is a bit harder.
Should you use air b and b for a few weeks until you find a place?
Yeah I recommend booking a short stay somewhere..you probably don’t need a few weeks tho. It’s quite easy to find a place quickly in Bangkok! ☺️
Where is a good hotel to stay during your first few days to then explore to find a one month lease
It would depend on your budget but I’d recommend staying in the Sukhumvit - Asok area as it’s very central and you can checkout areas on both the mrt and bts very easily.
Make the gym options vlog bruhh.
Haha yes, I definitely will. It’s in the works.
Ha ha welcome mate 😃
Bro im thinking about moving there and buy a house like 30 minutes away from Pattaya, find me a bar girl thai citizen 😂😂😂 i'll give you an agent fee if she's a keeper and not a scammer.
Haha to be honest I recommend just coming and hanging out and meeting people outside the bar areas. You’ll find some of the nicest and most trustworthy women that you will meet anywhere! That being said, I’m good w the agent fee 😂
A Bar Girl cannot effectively earn a living if she isn’t a scammer.At least to a certain degree.Any sex worker has to be able to manipulate the truth if they are to make a profit.
Nice video. Why pay $50 to $60 per month for a gym when most condo’s have a free gym?
I agree. Most condos have a great gym. It depends on schedule. I find that I bounce around a lot these days, so I don’t mind paying for the convenience of a gym with a lot of locations. But I totally agree. Easy $50 savings!
Please send me address of broker or agent who arrange cando
Are you in Bangkok?
What is it you do for work?
I teach at an international school. I’ll be making a video about different jobs here in the city as well ☺️
@ajarn_cal, what's the condo called where it was $300?
@@WeixDraqz this one is called Lumpini Place Rama 9 - Ratchada in the Rama 9 area, but you can find condos for $300 in most areas of the city!
How to find out cando??
I cover the best ways in this video and part 2… it’s very easy as there are a lot of empty condos.
I completely misread this! No mention of a condom at any time...
Might make for a more interesting video though!
Playback at 1.25 is much better. This guy talk too slow. Lets see if there's any good in the content.
Yeah, this video was a bit slow. It takes a bit of adjustment speaking on camera. Haha hopefully getting a bit better with time and practice!
I watch the whole video and you do have a good content. Keep it up. I did like and subscribed. @@thebangkokguide
@@dansanpedro5484 cheers. Thanks for the kind words!
Playback 1.5 X
I speak slow sometimes haha.
@@thebangkokguide I'm Australian, we speak way too fast. great video. Thanks for the reply. have a great day. 😁
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This video was informative but again people like muself with a dog and a cat dont know the rules and laws 🫠
Normally people get away with keeping cats, but dogs will need a condo to be pet friendly. You can find them tho…my last place was pet friendly in the Asok area
Also the size of dogs in malaysia most condos dont allow bigger dogs i have a 3 years old golden. I am not sure about Thailand.
Yeah that’s true too…easier with smaller dogs
