My $700 Luxury Bangkok Apartment (Thailand Cost of Living 🇹🇭)

Curious about Bangkok's cost of living in 2023? In this video I'm giving you a full tour of my luxury one bedroom condo in the heart of Bangkok's Sukhumvit area. Only 300m from the Ekkamai BTS station, this location is ideal for foreigners who want to be close to the downtown action, while still remaining outside the major tourist areas of Phrom Phong, Asok, Nana, Siam, etc. This is my third apartment in this building. As I mentioned in the video, I was interested in trying a new neighborhood this year, but the combination of location, price, amenities, and value made it hard to turn down. It's a 35 sqm one-bedroom unit, which is pretty typical for modern construction in Bangkok (this building is only 3 years old). While I wish the room was a little larger, the layout allows me to maximize my use of the space. I'm renting on a six month contract and might renew for another six months. If you have any questions, please drop them down below!

📍 Building Info:
Rhythm Ekkamai
11 Soi Sukhumvit 63
Watthana, Bangkok 10110

Man this looks dope. Every time I think I want to go to south or central America I'm reminded of how much better it is over in Thailand. I must escape the matrix man.

[chacetheengineer]

Woah I might have to leave US and go live like a king

[lucasl]

Nice video. What visa do you use to stay in Thailand for years?

[redness]

Looks like you are enjoying yourself. A lot of awesome places around. Perhaps don't say it is so amazing everywhere. So many places. Little room at a place is depressing. Good to open eyes

[DanGLevin]

What a sick video 🔥 Man, living there would be a dream… kudos man. Thanks for making this!

[James-MV]

So glad Ying hit the water and didn't go over the edge... Good informative vid. Keep them coming.

[FbiGuyPattaya]

Brah you should have done whatever it took to keep Ying, she’s the best your gonna get

It is a beautiful building in a great location. Price is still very reasonable compared to a luxury building in a premium neighborhood in my home of Toronto Canada.

This is a good video, top notch. ;D Just one thing is honestly weird - the girl was on your thumbnail AND appeared in the video the whole time - but you didn't even say "I'm here with XXX". Even with a nickname it would be OK. But not introducing her at all was just weird honestly, felt, dehumanizing or something. Yes it's the 1st vid I saw on your channel.

[TheThaiLanguage]

Yep... I love this city. I like the apartment too. I will look here when I get there.

I live before in a small condo like this but I've changed to a 46sqm condo and I must say it's way better. The furniture and design of your apartment is awesome but in my opinion this "one window" gives not enough light to the room. Anyway, great tour, really nice condo, close to Ekkamai. You make nothing wrong

[Boris_Chang]

Jeez man, you seem to have discovered heaven on earth.

[ronaldys]

Hey, how did you get long term visa like 5 year visa???

[leo]

Hey Eric. Shout out from Boston. Are you still in Thailand?

[adzladslk]

good info, cool apartment, sounds like a great location.

[saf]

Subscribed! I hope to live in thailand 🇹🇭 in the very near future. Inshallah

[goodphone]

No jn Bangkok but in another city in a similar building with swimming pool, Sauna, fitness and 350 meter on the sea, I pay 5000 bath at month!! You have understood well ???!!! 5000 bath at month!!!! And around there are many fish restaurants!!!

[YujinVasquez]

Im from Boston myself, I'll be headed that way later this year for a long term stay. Hope to see you out and about !

[ScarrddETH]

how have you been in thailand for 4 years if you dont mind me asking did you go with LTV or Elite?

[mytransitiontothephilippines]

You said that you purchased a 1 way ticket. I visited the Philippines 3 months ago and it was required that I purchased a round trip ticket so is not a requirement there?
