1 month rental condo in Bangkok: which building, not just which area
Looking at a 1 month rental condo Bangkok stay? Compare towers, floors and sois across Sukhumvit, Thonglor, Asoke and Lumpini, then book one direct.

A 1 month rental condo Bangkok search returns a different product from a hotel room, and the difference usually shows up around day four. A condo is a privately owned flat inside a residential building: one owner, their furniture, their internet contract, and a juristic office downstairs that runs the lifts, the pool and the key cards for everybody.
That means two flats in the same district, at the same price, can give you completely different months. The district sets the shops and the trains. The building sets the walk home, the noise at night, the view, and whether the gym is open when you want it. Both are worth an hour before you choose a home for the month.
Condo or serviced apartment: what changes over thirty days
Both are let by the month here, and the listing says which one you are looking at. The practical distinctions are small individually and add up over a month.
- A condo is one owner's flat in a co-owned building. Furniture, appliances and Wi-Fi are whatever that owner chose, and the shared pool and gym belong to the whole building.
- A serviced flat is run as a single operation, so housekeeping and linen are part of the rent rather than something you arrange. Several of our Thonglor, Asoke and Ekkamai homes work this way.
- Condo buildings have house rules: key-card lifts, guest sign-in at reception, quiet hours, and pools that close at ten. None of it is difficult, but it is not a hotel.
- Deliveries and parcels go to a juristic office or a locker, not to your door.
- Our minimum stay is one calendar month either way, and no platform or booking fee is added to the rent quoted on the listing.
If you are working through the month, ask about the internet before anything else. Some of the Asoke serviced units state 200 Mbps in the listing; in a private condo you get whatever package the owner pays for, and a month is long enough for that to matter every single day.
The soi rule: how far back from the main road the building sits
Bangkok's condo towers stand along sois, the side streets running off the main roads. The further down the soi a building sits, the cheaper it is and the longer the walk to the train. This single fact explains most of the price gaps you will see between two flats that look identical in photographs.
Thonglor makes the point cleanly. A 32 sqm high-rise studio is ฿51,700 a month at 1.4 km from BTS Thong Lo, which is an eighteen-minute walk twice a day. Move to the buildings 440 to 750 m from the same station and a 45 sqm executive studio is ฿97,750 and a 57 sqm one-bedroom with a balcony ฿94,500. Same district, different street number.
Check the line before the building. The BTS Skytrain route map and the MRT map take five minutes to read, and a condo on the wrong line adds a change of train to every trip you make. Anything inside about 500 m is a comfortable walk in the heat; past a kilometre, budget for motorbike taxis.
| area | from | note | station |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rama 4 | ฿46,600 | Furnished studio with housekeeping; 70 sqm one-bedrooms from ฿65,500 | BTS Phra Khanong 900 m |
| Thonglor | ฿51,700 | 32 sqm high-rise studio at the far end of the soi | BTS Thong Lo 1.4 km |
| Sukhumvit | ฿52,900 | 35 and 40 sqm studios on Sukhumvit 71 | No station within walking distance |
| On Nut | ฿54,200 | 38 sqm one-bedroom; a serviced studio is ฿56,700 | BTS On Nut 350 m |
| Ekkamai | ฿61,700 | 49 sqm serviced studio; three pet-friendly homes nearby | BTS Phra Khanong 750 m |
| Central Bangkok | ฿66,800 | 80 sqm serviced two-bedroom; Chit Lom studios from ฿89,000 | BTS Thong Lo 200 m |
| Asoke | ฿72,500 | 43 sqm studio with a desk, on the park side | MRT Queen Sirikit 1.0 km |
| Rama 9 | ฿75,600 | 52 sqm studio loft; the area is MRT-served, with no BTS | MRT Phra Ram 9 |
| Sathon | ฿78,100 | Pet-friendly one-bedroom; full-service units from ฿90,700 | No station within walking distance |
| Lumpini | ฿85,700 | 55 sqm one-bedroom beside the park | BTS Sala Daeng 700 m |
Height and view: what the window actually shows
In a city this dense, the floor number is not vanity. Low floors in a busy soi get street noise, headlights and whatever the kitchen below is cooking. High floors get wind, quiet and, in the wet season, a view of the storm coming across the city before it arrives.
Three parts of town give you something worth looking at rather than a neighbouring wall. Around Asoke, the towers facing Benchakitti Park look over the lake: a 50 sqm lakeview studio with a desk is ฿81,000, an 84 sqm high-floor two-bedroom ฿120,700, and a 96 sqm lakeview flat ฿141,800. All of them sit about a kilometre from BTS Asok and MRT Queen Sirikit.
Lumpini does the same thing with the other big park, 700 m from BTS Sala Daeng: a 130 sqm two-bedroom with a city view is ฿107,100 and a 160 sqm three-bedroom on a high floor ฿119,700. Around Chit Lom, where the towers are packed tightly, the view is the skyline itself — a sky studio at ฿157,500, a one-bedroom city view at ฿138,600, both within 450 m of the station.
Two condos at the same price in the same soi can differ by twenty floors and a hundred metres of walking. Over thirty days, that is the whole difference between the two months.
Space: what a monthly rental condo Bangkok budget buys in square metres
Floor space is where the surprises are. The most central districts charge for the address, so the same money buys a studio at Chit Lom and a family-sized flat three stations out. If you are bringing a partner, children or a second monitor, sort by square metres rather than by bedrooms.
| area | from | note | station |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rama 4 | ฿107,100 | 120 sqm two-bedroom with housekeeping; 180 sqm serviced at ฿151,200 | BTS Phra Khanong 900 m |
| Lumpini | ฿119,700 | 160 sqm three-bedroom, sky view, beside the park | BTS Sala Daeng 700 m |
| Ekkamai | ฿119,700 | 140 sqm serviced two-bedroom | BTS Phra Khanong 750 m |
| Asoke | ฿120,700 | 84 sqm two-bedroom, high floor, park view | BTS Asok 1.0 km |
| Sathon | ฿132,300 | 140 sqm, available as a two or a three-bedroom | No station within walking distance |
| Central Bangkok | ฿114,700 | 100 sqm two-bedroom a few minutes from Chit Lom | BTS Chit Lom 460 m |
| Sukhumvit | ฿163,800 | 105 sqm one-bedroom by BTS Nana; 150 sqm two-bedroom at ฿189,000 | BTS Nana 500 m |
| Thonglor | ฿172,500 | 95 sqm executive two-bedroom, close to the station | BTS Thong Lo 440 m |
The pattern is consistent: space is cheap where the train is not. Rama 4 is the clearest example, with 70 sqm one-bedrooms at ฿65,500 and ฿68,000 and a 120 sqm two-bedroom at ฿107,100, all about 900 m from BTS Phra Khanong. Sukhumvit 71 does the same thing further east, with a 50 sqm one-bedroom at ฿70,600 and a 75 sqm two-bedroom at ฿105,800.
Which areas have which kind of building
Our thirty Sukhumvit homes are the broadest group, running from 35 sqm studios to a 213 sqm three-bedroom by BTS Nana, and they cover the full stretch from Nana to On Nut. The cluster on Sukhumvit 20, 300 m from BTS Phrom Phong, is the shortest walk to a station of anything we let: a 40 sqm one-bedroom is ฿98,300 and a 60 sqm flat ฿115,900.
The twenty-nine homes in Thonglor split into two kinds of building: serviced towers within a few hundred metres of BTS Thong Lo, where a studio is ฿97,750 and a 100 sqm two-bedroom ฿207,000, and the cheaper high-rises at the top of the soi from ฿51,700. Asoke's thirteen homes are mostly park-facing towers plus serviced units 450 m from the station, where a one-bedroom is ฿126,000.
The smaller groups are simpler. On Nut has four homes, all within 550 m of a station and all under ฿105,000. Ekkamai's seven sit around Phra Khanong and carry the pet-friendly flats, from ฿91,800. Rama 9's five are MRT-only, which suits a longer stay better than a first month. Sathon's eight are quiet, office-district buildings, several of them full-service.
Checking a condo before you take the month
Once you have two or three candidates, the questions that matter are the ones you cannot fix after you arrive.
- Walking distance to the station, taken from the listing rather than guessed from a map. 300 m and 1.4 km are different lives.
- Which floor, and what the windows face. A high floor on a main road is usually quieter than a low floor on a side street.
- Whether the building's pool and gym are open to tenants, and what the hours are.
- Internet speed, and whether it is in the rent. Ask for the figure, not for an adjective.
- Housekeeping: included and how often, or arranged by you. Serviced listings say so plainly.
- Desk space if you are working. A month at a dining chair is a long month.
- Pets, if you have one. Those homes are in Ekkamai and Sathon, and the list is short.
One piece of paperwork is worth knowing about. When a foreign national stays at an address in Thailand, the owner or manager of the property notifies the Immigration Bureau of it. In a monthly let, that is handled for you, and you may be asked for a copy of your passport photo page.
Booking the month
The rent on each listing is the price of one calendar month, which is also the minimum stay, and nothing is added on top of it. Four areas start under ฿60,000 and nine of the ten have something under ฿110,000, so the practical question is not affordability but fit: which building, on which soi, at which height.
If the month is likely to become three or six, read the longer comparison of Bangkok condos for rent long term and the area-by-area guide to where to live in Bangkok before you commit. Choosing for the longer version costs nothing extra at the start, and saves a move later.
Frequently asked questions
Can you rent a condo in Bangkok for just 1 month?
Yes. Our homes are let by the calendar month, and one month is the minimum stay. The rent quoted against each listing covers the full month, with no platform or booking fee added.
How much is a monthly rental condo in Bangkok?
The cheapest full month we let is ฿46,600 for a furnished studio with housekeeping on Rama 4. Thonglor starts at ฿51,700, Sukhumvit at ฿52,900, On Nut at ฿54,200 and Lumpini, the most expensive area, at ฿85,700.
What is the difference between a condo and a serviced apartment in Bangkok?
A condo is one owner's flat inside a co-owned building, so the furniture, internet and house rules come from that owner and the building's juristic office. A serviced flat is run as a single operation and includes housekeeping and linen in the rent. Each listing states which it is.
Are Bangkok condos furnished for a one-month let?
Yes. Every home in our list is furnished with Wi-Fi in place, and the listing gives the size, the walking distance to the nearest station and whether housekeeping is included.
Which floor should I ask for in a Bangkok condo?
A higher floor is generally quieter and cooler, and on a busy soi it makes a real difference to sleep. Around Asoke and Lumpini the high floors also face the parks; near Chit Lom they face the skyline.
Do I need to be near a BTS or MRT station for a month?
It helps a great deal, because you will not have a car. Under about 500 m is a comfortable walk in the heat. The cheapest Thonglor studios are 1.4 km from BTS Thong Lo, which means motorbike taxis most days.
