What Floor is too Low for you?


When is a condo rental just not attractive to you? Too small, price too tall, messy, old, tired, smelly…there are many legitimate reasons I know. But in the case of a low floor in a low rise, is this so that it can be too low?

Walk up and down Soi Langsuan in the centre of Bangkok and find a 2 Bedroom condo rental under 40,000, go on I challenge you. Likely it is not going to happen if it is anything half decent in one of the developments on that street.

Now turn right at the top of Soi Langsuan into Thanon Sarasin…some nice little bistro type cafes and such like along there, and right opposite from Lumpini Park, so without question an awesome place to live. So what stops this 2 Bed Condo rental from becoming a 2 bed condo tenanted? 

 When I first went to see it, it was on the market at 45,000 per month and to be honest that did not strike me as way over board. However, try as we may it would not budge, so now we find it on the market asking just 37,500. Much more buzz and activity around the place but still, no takers.

Oddly it seems a condo can be considered as too low, in terms of the floor on which it sits. I could understand this if it was about passing traffic and pedestrian noise, but that would not be the case in this side street which is at best a ghost street. Further more having the pool, gym and steam room on the same floor just about 15 meters walk from your front door surely is of huge appeal no?
