Slowx- I'm a fairly hybridised farang nowadays. Between my former wife's Japanese and Korean branches of family I've adopted a lot of the customs. One of my criteria here was wooden floors, but shoes are never worn inside my house- too big a taboo.
DD- I awoke to the same conclusion today. When all is said and done, I let the gut have the final say. I spoke to Nim and got a price quote of Bt35,000 for Apt 1 and Bt 29,000 for Condo 2. One more visit and I'm taking one of these. Thanks for taking the time to hash out the story and post your opinion.
Ahem! So, if anyone is looking for a really gorgeous 1Bed/1 Bath condo on Thong Lor soi 20 and willing to commit to a 1 yr. lease you could get in for somewhere's south of Bt28,000. PM me today if interested- I'm sure it won't last long.

Very interesting information here. But I am a bit confused.
I know that at the Omni on Soi 4 you can rent from an owner (not the hotel) for about 18K, 1/1 and 25K, 2/2. Now this is a hot area near the action so one would think out around Thong Lor the prices should be lower. But your numbers are about 45-7=38K for 1/1 and 30K for the 2/2.
Why is it more expensive ? Not quality since the Omni is very nice at a 4 star level I would say (yes I have stayed there). Maybe proximity to schools ??
I am interested in moving out around PP, TL or even On Nut to save on rent but it sounds like this is not far enough out to get a decent savings.
Just curious.

Thonglor is a "nicer" area than the area around the Omni and most of Thonglor residents would pay to be away from the action.

I certainly haven't been here long enough to render an informed opinion but I can realte this: This 1/1 unit I found on Thong Lor soi 20 was unknown to the realtor I brought with me.
She was totally blown away by the layout, amenities, design and execution of the project and had this to say as we left- this place is a steal for Bt30k/month if the same project were on Sukhmuvit it wouold be at least Bt45k/month.
Before I began this thread I had assumed that Thong Lor would be more expensive than lower Sukh. but it appears I was wrong- I have been amazed by how many nice units I have found around Thong Lor at +/- Bt30k/month price. But, that said, I am told by many sources that as you move toward Ekkamai and beyond the prices drop a LOT.
Lower Sukh. is where a lot [more] people prefer to be I reckon. As if we don't know why that is so...  LOL

Apt. 3 wins by a nose.
That leaves two condos at Bt30 or less still available on Thong Lor soi 20 [in a great low-rise complex].

Most people will pay to stay away from places like soi 4. How can you justify higher prices and calling it a hot area...?
Thonglor is the HOT place along Sukhumvit, soi 4 is merely a farang gettho joint....

I think I made a mistake on those Omni prices...
18K is for studio
22-25K is for 1BR
27-35K for 2BR
Again this is not thru the hotel but with the agent next to the restaurant who represents owners.
He of course wants a 1 yr lease but may be flexible on that and could go 6 months.

Update: Turns out the place is 80meters sq. and the more time I'm in it the more it grows on me.
