    How about doing a series showing some of the neighboring communities where a person might rent a house? Everyone always wants to show condos in the heart of whatever city they are showcasing on their CZcams channels. For similar prices, you can get some wonderful homes in gated communities with amenities like pools and gyms. Not everyone wants to live the city life.

      @@PattanakitW We were talking about if something is reasonable or not. I was arguing it wasn't based on comparative salaries and affordability.
      You are arguing it is reasonable now because sales prices for new condos in Bangkok are now also my massively over inflated. Which seems an extremely weird argument to me.
      Here in Hong Kong our real estate market is also extremely unaffordable relative to household income, but there's enormous pressure on the gov to finally address it. Certainly no one's using words like reasonable or arguing high rents can be justified because sales prices are also insane.
      The reason the condo market in Bangkok and Hong Kong is so out of step with local wages is because its not local wages that are buying these in either place.
      It's not domestic buyers that are driving these sales prices in Bangkok - it's 'hot' money from overseas, China and Russia in particular.

In addition I have also noticed some of the youtube videos like yours when they talk about what you can buy in terms of Condos, however no one ever mentions the ongoing costs (maintenance) so might be worth including this in the videos so that views would know what the expected outgoings would be.

The first time I arrived in Bangkok my Agoda booking fell through so, I ended up being moved to The Olive Bangkok. It was a beautiful place and I really enjoyed my stay. Now, I tend more towards Asoke & Phrom Phong area so, seeing inside The Diplomat was a treat. It's wayyyy out of my budget but, still good to see.
    For those who are gasping at the prices, Bangkok is a cosmopolitan city. There are apartments for rent that will suit all budgets. Awhile ago, I watched a video of a guy who was paying $60 US for an apartment. It was very basic & nowhere near any BTS or Metro line so, much more difficult to get anywhere.

    Love all the videos, I plan to move to Thailand by the end of this year. I just returned from a 3 month stay there. I would love to see vieos about some older buildings that are larger in size and hopefully less in price. The high rises are great, but I'm down for an older building with bigger units. Thanks!!!

How is your Thai lessons coming along? Do you think more Thai language skills needed to live in these areas compared to others?

Been a fantastic experience and have saved 80% while getting world class dentist/service. I am staying in a Hotel for $100 per night, comparable to a Hotel at home that would run 3x that. Bangkok is my first ever Asia experience. I love it, and that says much for a person that doesn’t like big cities. The city is cleaner, clean air and even friendlier than I’d hoped for. It’s hot and humid at times but there’s not much to dislike. I’m looking to buy a second home and I could imagine buying here for sure. Language is no barrier btw. In a few days my girlfriend will arrive and we will spend 2 weeks going resort style, with Hua Hin our first stop.

As others have said you can find direct comparables in the same areas for half the price. The Punnawithi condo was what really makes me question the motives of his rental videos. I know for a fact that you can get a rental at The Line 101 for half of what he quoted at the first condo.

I wouldn't go higher than 55sqm for a single person because you'll be spending 3K-4K a month in electricity to run your air-conditioners. The larger the place the more electricity you'll need to keep it comfortable, and Bangkok is the hottest nation capital in the world.
