Hey Kevin! I don't use Wise at all. I have a checking account with Charles Schwab and just pull out from ATM as needed. It's pretty close to market rates for conversion.
@@DavionTravel - how do you handle the larger transaction such as a two-month deposit for a condo rental? Are you handing the owner over a thousand dollars worth of Thai baht?
@@kevinp8108 For larger transactions, it's still cash. You can withdraw quite a bit from the atm at one time or bring cash over to convert. Nowadays, you're only able to get a Thai Bank account if you have a work permit.
@@DavionTravel Thanks for the tip! I’m a dual Thai-American citizen so I should have no issues opening a bank account but I won’t until I relocate there in a few years. I will be in Bangkok this October! I’m very excited.
Mail rooms all look the same. Would be nice if you spent the time showing any laundry room with the number of dryers. Not all complexes have laundry rooms. It's a deal breaker for me personally. Not a fan of using drying racks for weeks worth of laundry. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not a fan of the 60fps look as it's too realistic and looks weird to me so I keep it at mainly 24 fps for the "theater" look.
Sorry but they should have saved the money they spent on the lobby on the units. Just saw one today half the price, and a lot nicer with tons of amenities. Cheap cabinets, tiny balcony, cheap looking bathroom. Plain walls. Not worth the money. Seen several nicer for a lot cheaper.
Yeah definitely but also depends on the location as well. The further out you go out from the center, the cheaper rent gets. Were the ones you saw duplex/loft style and where were they located?
Pretty boring area.. but hey if sitting in traffic jams in cars and in your condo is your thing its Perfect . And fyi Bangkok us more SAFE tham most western city's.. especially american city's
I don't find this area boring at all and there's no traffic jams when the BTS is right there. I have no issues getting around. Boring is relative and it all depends on what you're looking to do. Yes Bangkok is very safe. Where have you been in the USA?

First! Hello from the Bay Area! :D I'm moving to BKK this coming spring!
How's it going! You'll love it here. Good luck with the move. What's your favorite thing about BKK?
@@DavionTravel To be with people that inspire me!
@@mosqutio88 That's awesome. You'll have a great time over here
Your place looks great! I love the living room/office with the view!
Thanks! Might stay at this place long term but we’ll see. Have to find a good lease lol
Thank you for showing nice home😊
You’re welcome!
Wow, beautiful views of the skyline Nice building.
Yeah it’s really nice especially being able to get a 360 view of the city
thanks man!
You’re welcome!
Nice looking condos. Thanks Davion. Are there many coffee shops within walking distance of the condo?
Yes there are a bunch of coffee shops along the main road and inside the smaller soi
Nice video
Thanks for watching!
How's the soundproofing of the rooms? A lot of the newer "luxury" buildings have horrible soundproofing!
The sound proofing has been alright for the unit I'm staying in. Aside from the occasional loud people in the hallway, you don't hear much.
สวัสดีค่ะ ยอดวิวของคุณสูงขึ้น ดีใจด้วยนะคะ 👍💖🌺🌸🎉🎉
Thank you so much! 😊
Hey great video, was thinking about moving in that building. Was wondering what the monthly cost of electricity with aircon use is? Thanks
It all depends on how much you use it and big your space is. Probably anywhere from 2-3K baht per month
Are there places to eat close by?
There are lots of restaurants in the area.
Nice tour, it would have been useful to understand how close the MRT/BTS is to the complex.
BTS is only a 10-15 minute walk! super close
Can I ask how do you get interim deal like this? Is is Air BnB? I am interested to learn about 1 month lease when holidaying. Thanks!!
Normally, anything less than six months will be through Airbnb.
Definitely can't get a deal like this for short term. For 1 month, you'll have to use AirBnBs.. The rates I found were for long term leases of a year
@@kevinp8108 this is true!
Hi Davion! Do you use the Wise app to transfer money from the US to Thailand? 🇹🇭
Wise work's Perfect.. and the wise ATM card too

You could even put a small bed in there...

What floor is it?
What floor for which?

Most condos don’t have laundry rooms. I wash my clothes once a week so no problems with drying racks lol
how is the noise
It's not bad actually. Only time you hear something is when a loud tuk tuk or truck comes though but it's very sparse.
Why would you want to close the sliding door in the kitchen to feel safe?
I don’t close it but someone else could want to. It also helps block out the noise from outside and keep cool air in as well.
Suggest you to shoot the video at 60fps...Either it's 1080p 60fps or 4k 60fps.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not a fan of the 60fps look as it's too realistic and looks weird to me so I keep it at mainly 24 fps for the "theater" look.
It is a good price compared to NYC. This would be $3,500 per month.
Yeah NYC can get crazy expensive!

Name of condo please, if you would, I’m going in May.
The gyms in these Thai condos are always SOOOO disappointing. Great for beginners, but definitely not for anyone serious about working out.
Pretty boring area.. but hey if sitting in traffic jams in cars and in your condo is your thing its Perfect .
And fyi Bangkok us more SAFE tham most western city's.. especially american city's

So cheap
Definitely a good price!
