Rent and Utilities
Each month, I pay 10,000 baht for rent and 2,000 baht for condo association fees. The 2,500 baht balance goes to electric and water bills. In Thailand, property managers usually increase the rates for electricity and water–however, my current building administration just passes on the actual bills and rates. If you want to know more about the rental market in Bangkok,
check out our guide on renting. If you want to buy a condo in Bangkok, we also have a
guide for that too.
