Apartments for rent in central Bangkok: pick the station first

Apartments for rent in central Bangkok: 27 furnished homes by the month, from ฿66,800, grouped by station. Find the one nearest your office and compare.

By Jumphot Srisomsap · 17 October 2026

Apartments for rent in central Bangkok are spread more widely than the name suggests. We let 27 furnished homes by the month under that label, from ฿66,800 to ฿296,100, and they sit around six different stations: Chit Lom, Asok, Phrom Phong, Sala Daeng, National Stadium and Thong Lo. More than half are a short walk from BTS Chit Lom, but the cheapest is by Thong Lo and one of the best-connected is beside National Stadium.

So the useful question is not whether a flat is central, but which station it is near and where you need to get to every day. Below, the 27 homes are grouped by station, with what each group costs, what the rent covers where we know it, and the four suites on Soi Tonson that give the most floor space for the money.

What central Bangkok means on our map

Bangkok has no single centre. The shopping streets around Siam and Chit Lom, the offices of Silom and Sathon, and the stretch of Sukhumvit Road from Asok to Thong Lo all get called central, and our listings follow that loose use of the word. The table shows how our Central Bangkok homes break down, cheapest first within each group.

If you only want to see the homes that are central in the everyday sense, the shops and offices on foot, start with Chit Lom. If you work on Sukhumvit, the Asok, Phrom Phong and Thong Lo homes are filed under Central Bangkok too, and they are worth comparing with our Sukhumvit and Thonglor listings before you decide.

Chit Lom: fifteen homes around Ratchaprasong

BTS Chit Lom sits over the Ratchaprasong junction, one stop east of Siam on the Sukhumvit Line. centralWorld is beside the station, Central Embassy is along Phloen Chit Road towards the next stop, and an elevated walkway runs from Chit Lom to Siam, so you can reach the shopping centres and the interchange without crossing a road at street level. All fifteen of our homes here are listed between 400 and 460 metres from the station.

Rents in this group run from ฿89,000 for a 45 m² studio to ฿296,100 for a two-bedroom. Most of the range sits in between: a 58 m² one-bedroom at ฿114,200, an 87 m² two-bedroom at ฿137,900, and one-bedrooms from ฿138,600 to ฿182,700. Several of the listings do not state a floor area, so ask for it before you compare them.

• 45 m² studio: ฿89,000 a month, about ฿1,980 per m²
• 58 m² one-bedroom: ฿114,200, about ฿1,970 per m²
• 87 m² two-bedroom: ฿137,900, about ฿1,590 per m²
• 125 m² two-bedroom on Soi Tonson: ฿123,200, about ฿990 per m²

The last line is not a mistake, and it is the reason this guide exists.

The four suites on Soi Tonson

Soi Tonson runs off Phloen Chit Road, a few minutes on foot from the main road and within a short walk of Lumpini Park. We let four suites in one building there, all listed 460 metres from BTS Chit Lom. They share a pool, a fitness room, a sauna, free parking and a 24-hour front desk, and each has in-room laundry, a separate living area and a fully equipped kitchen.

The 125 m² two-bedroom on Soi Tonson costs ฿14,700 a month less than the 87 m² two-bedroom closer to the station and gives you 38 more square metres. The trade is the bathroom: each two-bedroom has a single bathroom for up to five guests. For a family, or a couple who want a spare room and a proper kitchen, that is usually worth it. For two people sharing as flatmates, one bathroom may not be.

Close to the station you pay for the address. On Soi Tonson you pay for floor space: about ฿990 a square metre, against ฿1,590 to ฿1,980 nearer Chit Lom.

Asok and Phrom Phong: the Sukhumvit end

Three of our Central Bangkok homes are 500 metres from BTS Asok and 750 metres from MRT Sukhumvit: a studio with a city view at ฿81,900, a one-bedroom with a skyline view at ฿94,500 and a two-bedroom penthouse at ฿126,000. Asok is where the Skytrain meets the MRT Blue Line, so these suit anyone who needs both lines.

Four more are serviced homes about 950 metres from BTS Phrom Phong, from ฿81,900 for a studio with breakfast to ฿110,900 for a two-bedroom. Nine hundred and fifty metres is a real walk in Bangkok heat, so check whether the building runs a shuttle before you rely on the train.

Siam, Sala Daeng and Lumphini

Our one home by BTS National Stadium is a 45 m² one-bedroom 200 metres from the station at ฿88,200 a month. National Stadium is one stop west of Siam on the Silom Line, so you are a single stop from the interchange. Water and electricity are included, housekeeping comes three times a week with linen changed twice, and the residence has a pool and a gym.

On the south side of the centre, three serviced homes sit 850 metres from MRT Lumphini and 1.1 km from BTS Sala Daeng: a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom at ฿124,700 each, and a three-bedroom at ฿224,300. These suit people working in Silom, Sathon or along Rama 4 Road more than people working on Sukhumvit.

The cheapest central home is by Thong Lo

The ฿66,800 that our Central Bangkok listings start from buys an 80 m² two-bedroom 200 metres from BTS Thong Lo. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, there is a large corner balcony, and up to four guests can stay. The rent includes water and an electricity allowance of ฿6,400 a month, housekeeping with a linen change three times a week, and a shuttle to nearby BTS stations. It is not central in the Chit Lom sense, being five stops east along Sukhumvit, but for two people sharing it is the lowest rent in this group by a wide margin.

Getting around from each group

Every group above is on the BTS Skytrain, and the Asok and Lumphini homes are also near the MRT Blue Line. Before you choose, match the station to your daily trip:

• Offices and shops at Siam, Chit Lom or Phloen Chit: the Chit Lom group or National Stadium
• Offices in Silom or Sathon: the Lumphini group, or National Stadium on the same Silom Line
• Work along Sukhumvit, or one MRT stop away at the convention centre: the Asok group, with both lines
• Phrom Phong or Thong Lo: the homes listed there, or our Sukhumvit and Thonglor listings

Walk from the flat to the station once at the hour you will actually commute. Four hundred metres along a shaded soi and four hundred metres across a six-lane junction are not the same walk.

Before you book

Every home here is furnished and let by the calendar month, with a one-month minimum and no platform or booking fees. Ask us for the floor area where a listing does not show it, check what the rent includes for electricity, and ask which way the bedroom faces.
