RichardThailand Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I've a client who would like to find a house to rent somewhere within a 1 hour drive of central Bangkok but in a safe area with as low pollution as possible. Can anyone give suggestions on what areas might be good to look into and also how does one go about finding an agent that deals with higher end property house rentals? Clients budget is around 100,000 a month but they could go higher. Thanks very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expatthailover Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 R1 hr drive will depend upon time of day and mode of travel. As for safety??? Feel much safer in bangkok than london Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batboy Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I live near Mega Bagna which is only 3/4 hr from the city centre. If you look at the housing estates along Kanchanaphisek Road then you will find some good homes. I live in Burasiri which has a few rental homes available. Airport easy to get to as well as to head down to Pattaya for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some approx numbers would really help. Also what size would you say the larger homes are. Also any suggestions on how to find rental properties there.

lust Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 If I could afford +100,000baht month on rent, I sure as hell wouldn’t be in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost my feeling too but I think the client is wanting to stay there as it's an easy place to stay after buying one of those long term visas. Just out of interest where would you suggest to stay in Asia? I think for a person who doesn't want to stay in Europe or USA there are not so many options that allow long term visas.

All houses in my compound of Burasiri are 2 story with 3 bedroom ,2 bathroom (Ensuite Main Bedroom) Small kitchen and reasonable size living room area. There is also a gym and pool for residence use. Gated entrance and security patrols 24 Hrs. You will find most housing compounds similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melvinmelvin Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I was going to say that Bang Kon Tien is the ONLY area in BKK with really fresh air. If you could extend a bit, include Samuth Prakan, then things would be different, more options. If you could do with half decent air I would look at MinBuri in NE Bangkok. Bang Yai was mentioned, that is not in BKK, the air is OK but not clean. I live there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffy Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 As someone else said, Nonthaburi way, particularly around the Rama V roundabout where Nakhon Inn crosses Rachapreuk. ladalom on Nakhon Inn is high end, with the lowest rental around 50k per month and increasing. Bangkok Boulevard also is very good with prices starting at 35k a month. Ladawan on Rachapreuk is one of the best, but you are looking at closer to 150k starting price. There are also a number of others around that area, it is easy to just turn up speak to the management at the Clubhouse and look around straight away or make a future appointment. All of these are less than an hour to central Bangkok, traffic permitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanbla Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I live in a safe and quiet area, about 45 km from centre areas like Sukhumvit. Far from city and traffic but still polluted air sometimes. The district is Nongchok close to Min Buri I where the new Bangkok MRT orange line is going to have end station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctkong Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I stayed in village grand Monaco near mega bangna. There are some houses renting for thb 50,000-100,000 with and without swimming pool. Gated community with excellent security 24/7. There is also a community club with swimming pool and a small lake . Air quality is decent too. Place is quiet too. Village was by golden land so built quality is ok . Being staying here for 6 years and no complaint at all. Place is near mature market and shopping centre. 30 minutes to airport and like the other poster said, a breeze to nip down to pattaya from here. Google grand Monaco for more details.

Airalee Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 If I had that kind of money, I’d be looking into one of the high end condos with a panoramic view instead of a house. Air quality here in BKK really doesn’t seem so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC1701A Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 the air in Asia is nine times more polluted than in the West. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/07/180710122801.htm your client needs to think vertical and not commuting in and out of Bangkok. these are a little expensive but you get the idea. https://bk.asia-city.com/city-living/news/heres-what-most-expensive-condos-bangkok-look traffic is horrible.

Monomial Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I would look at the golf courses in the surrounding provinces (Samut Prakan, Nonthaburi, Pathumthani). They are all within an hours drive of central Bangkok. Some of them have some very nice houses. The green tends to keep the air cleaner. During morning rush hour nothing other than lower Sukhumvit is within an hours drive, so you can't worry about that. It takes 30 minutes just to get off the tollway, and even inner Bangkok isn't within an hours drive from inner Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of luxurious houses and condos to rent in Pattaya in the 100 - 200k range. I would recommend a penthouse apartment on a high floor on the beach.

BobbyL Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 A big thing for me would be how often does he need to be in central Bangkok? Even being in the central areas and travelling somewhere else can take an hour. I drove from my place to the driving range on Saturday morning and it took 50 minutes there and 45 minutes back (it is 3km away). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melvinmelvin Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 now that OP has expanded the possible area (here or in the condo thread) I offer some suggestions bang kon tien, near sea - house samuth prakan, eastern side of river - house hua hin, up in the hills - house cha am - near sea - house / condo bang saen/an chila - near sea - house pattaya south - pratumnak on the windy side - house/condo north pattaya - probably house najomtien - ocean marina - condo all the above should sport pretty fresh air nonthaburi? house by canal or condo by river? nonthaburi is polluted - very, mainly 'cause transport it is not clear to me how high traf. pollution reaches , are you above on the 20th floor? I'm in a house by canal, lots of forest/jungle around, cleans the air, the air impresses all who visit, but I can easily sea the traf- shit on surfaces.

Certainly not an industrial area but as most of Bangkok and surrounds you have main road areas that become congested particularly at peak times.. I'm 2.5km away from Bang Yai City and traffic is very light and no pollution smog like central Bangkok.. Very quiet with some neighbour's cooks around..
