Time fly’s by so fast these days that I often forget maybe 5 or 6 years have passed since I last really looked at rental prices in Onnut. I was once very seriously considering it myself as a place to live, based on it being such a nice area, convenient for Tesco and Big C and of course the BTS line.
But now I look again with even more sincerity and I see a 2 bed Onnut Condo for rent at 28,000, higher than where I live right now in the Nana to Asoke strip, which was has historically always been a more expensive area. That said, let us be honest and state for the record that in this case it is in fact a Sansiri development.
So I look again and find a truly delightful one bedroom condo rental at 16,000 and again I think to myself, that is way over the top for Onnut condos. But it is no longer the case, this is I see now the going rate. Great place for a single dude or perhaps even a couple, but not for me as it is way over my budget with wife and kids.
It looks as if my search for a new Bangkok condo rental will continue just a little longer. How is yours going? Written by David Smith of Siam Distinction (http://www.siamdistinction.com/)
