Apartment for rent in Rama 9: what the same rent buys elsewhere in Bangkok
Apartment for rent Rama 9: our five homes run ฿75,600 to ฿277,200 a month. See what the same rent buys in Asoke, Sukhumvit or Rama 4, then book yours.

If you searched for an apartment for rent rama 9, here is the short answer: we let five furnished homes there, from ฿75,600 to ฿277,200 a month, by the calendar month and with no platform or booking fees. What the price list does not tell you is how Rama 9 compares with the rest of the city. On our books it is not the cheap option many people expect, except at the bottom of the range.
This guide takes each of the five rents in turn and sets it beside what the same money gets you in our other areas. That way you can see what you are paying for when you choose Rama 9, and when you would do better a few stops away.
Rama 9 starts higher than most of our areas
Sort our ten areas by the cheapest home in each, and Rama 9 comes eighth. Only Sathon and Lumpini start higher.
| Area | From | Character | Nearest station |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rama 4, 6 homes | ฿46,600 | A studio | BTS Phra Khanong 900 m |
| Thonglor, 29 homes | ฿51,700 | A 32 m² high-rise condo | BTS Thong Lo 1.4 km |
| Sukhumvit, 30 homes | ฿52,900 | 35 m² and 40 m² flats on Soi 71 | No station listed |
| On Nut, 4 homes | ฿54,200 | A 38 m² one-bedroom | BTS On Nut 350 m |
| Ekkamai, 7 homes | ฿61,700 | A 49 m² studio | BTS Phra Khanong 750 m |
| Central Bangkok, 27 homes | ฿66,800 | An 80 m² two-bedroom | BTS Thong Lo 200 m |
| Asoke, 13 homes | ฿72,500 | A 43 m² studio | BTS Asok 1000 m, MRT Queen Sirikit 1.0 km |
| Rama 9, 5 homes | ฿75,600 | A 52 m² studio loft | No station listed |
| Sathon, 8 homes | ฿78,100 | A pet-friendly one-bedroom | No station listed |
| Lumpini, 10 homes | ฿85,700 | A 55 m² one-bedroom | MRT Si Lom 500 m, BTS Sala Daeng 700 m |
The gap is real money. Rama 9's cheapest home costs ฿22,700 a month more than Sukhumvit's and ฿29,000 more than Rama 4's. And the three Rama 9 homes by the station start at ฿151,200, exactly double the cheapest one.
Our five Rama 9 homes, in two buildings
The five sit in two places about two kilometres apart. The two lofts share a building to the east, one of them listed near Bangkok Hospital, and neither listing gives a distance to a station. The other three share a tower 550 to 600 metres from MRT Phra Ram 9, on the Blue Line.
- Studio loft, 52 m², sleeps two: ฿75,600. Balcony, soaking bathtub and kitchenette; water and electricity included.
- Two-bedroom loft duplex, 74 m², sleeps four: ฿99,700. Two full bathrooms and a loft level; water and electricity included.
- One-bedroom by the station, sleeps two: ฿151,200. A workspace and a washer-dryer; water and electricity included up to ฿3,420 a month.
- Two-bedroom, 90 m², sleeps four: ฿182,700. Two bathrooms plus a separate toilet and a walk-in closet; utilities included up to ฿6,300.
- Three-bedroom, 123 m², sleeps six: ฿277,200. A work desk in every bedroom; utilities included up to ฿8,610.
All five come with housekeeping three times a week, and every building has a pool and a gym.
฿75,600: the studio loft, or a bedroom of your own on Rama 4
At the bottom of the range is the 52 m² studio loft at ฿75,600. For exactly the same rent, our Rama 4 building lets a one-bedroom with a private jacuzzi, 900 metres from BTS Phra Khanong: a separate bedroom rather than one open room. For ฿3,100 less, a 43 m² studio in Asoke at ฿72,500 puts you a kilometre from both BTS Asok and MRT Queen Sirikit.
The loft's case is space and view. It is 9 m² larger than the Asoke studio, on a high floor, with a balcony and a soaking bath, and the bills are in the rent. What its listing lacks is a station distance, so if you will ride the train every day, ask us how you would reach one before you book.
฿99,700: the two-bedroom loft, matched by the BTS
The loft duplex suits a small family or two people sharing: 74 m², a king bedroom, a twin bedroom, two full bathrooms and a loft level that works as a den or extra sleeping space. Exactly the same rent takes a two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat on Sukhumvit Soi 48, 600 metres from BTS On Nut. For ฿3,600 more, ฿103,300 buys a three-bedroom with three bathrooms, 350 metres from the same station.
So at this price Rama 9 does not save you money against the Sukhumvit Line; it gives you a different address. If that address is the point, because you have regular appointments at Bangkok Hospital, this is the loft to look at.
In Rama 9, ฿151,200 a month buys a one-bedroom by the MRT. On Rama 4, the same rent buys a 180 m² three-bedroom.
฿151,200: where Rama 9 stops being the cheaper choice
The one-bedroom by MRT Phra Ram 9 is where the comparison turns. ฿151,200 is exactly what we charge for four quite different homes elsewhere:
- A one-bedroom by centralWorld, 400 metres from BTS Chit Lom.
- A 69 m² one-bedroom 500 metres from BTS Nana and 800 metres from MRT Sukhumvit.
- A two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat in Sathon.
- A 180 m² three-bedroom with three bathrooms on Rama 4, 900 metres from BTS Phra Khanong.
| Home | From | Character | Nearest station |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 BR, 2 guests, Rama 9 | ฿151,200 | Housekeeping three times a week; water and electricity included up to ฿3,420 a month | MRT Phra Ram 9 600 m |
| 1 BR, 2 guests, centralWorld | ฿151,200 | Maid service three times a week; ฿3,500 electricity allowance, then ฿7.49 a unit | BTS Chit Lom 400 m |
The two cost the same and cover the bills in much the same way. The centralWorld flat is 200 metres closer to its station, and that station is on the Skytrain in the middle of the shopping district. The Rama 9 flat has a dedicated workspace and a dining table for four, and its station is on the Blue Line. Choose it because that is the line you need, not to save money.
฿182,700 and ฿277,200: the family flats
The pattern holds at two bedrooms. Our 90 m² two-bedroom in Rama 9 and an 85 m² two-bedroom on Sukhumvit Soi 20 are both ฿182,700 a month. The Rama 9 flat is 5 m² larger and adds a separate toilet and a walk-in closet; the Soi 20 flat is 300 metres from BTS Phrom Phong.
At three bedrooms, Rama 9 is the dearer choice. Our 123 m² three-bedroom costs ฿277,200. A 128 m² three-bedroom on Sukhumvit, 150 metres from MRT Queen Sirikit, is ฿252,000: ฿25,200 a month less for 5 m² more. A 135 m² three-bedroom in Thonglor, 440 metres from BTS Thong Lo, is ฿218,500: ฿58,700 less for 12 m² more. Over six months, that second gap comes to ฿352,200.
What the Rama 9 three-bedroom does offer is written into the listing: water and electricity up to ฿8,610 a month, a work desk in every bedroom, a washer and dryer, and the Blue Line a seven- or eight-minute walk away.
So why rent in Rama 9?
For where it is, not for what it costs. Three reasons come up most:
- Your office is on the MRT Blue Line. From Phra Ram 9 you reach Sukhumvit station, which links to BTS Asok, in two stops without changing trains.
- You need to be near Bangkok Hospital. Our two-bedroom loft is listed near it, and the studio loft is in the same building.
- You fly often. One stop from Phra Ram 9 is Phetchaburi, which links to the Airport Rail Link at Makkasan.
Timetables, fares and route maps are on the MRT website run by BEM and, for the Skytrain at Asok, the BTS website. Our guide to living two stops from Asoke goes through that journey in more detail.
Which Rama 9 home, if any
- On your own, on the smallest budget: the studio loft at ฿75,600, if you do not need a station on the doorstep.
- Two to four people, or a family with hospital appointments: the two-bedroom loft at ฿99,700.
- Working on the Blue Line: the one-bedroom by the station at ฿151,200, or the 90 m² two-bedroom at ฿182,700.
- Three bedrooms, with cost the priority: look at Sukhumvit or Thonglor before Rama 9.
