Which condo buildings in BKK is available for just 1-month rental?

yeah 13k for rama 9 on a year lease is solid but short term is a whole different game. check out the condos around ekkamai like the loft or 39 thonglor, some owners do monthly deals if you hit them up on facebook groups like "bangkok condo rental" - just avoid the agent listings, they always overcharge for one month

You won't find many buildings offering short-term leases directly, most require 12 months. Your best bet is to focus on buildings that have a high volume of owner-operated rentals listed on Thai property sites like DDproperty or Hipflat, then message the owners directly. For a 20-30 minute BTS radius, look around On Nut or Phra Khanong where you can find studios for around 15-18K baht for a month if you negotiate. Stay away from the buildings right at Asok or Thong Lo, those are where the Airbnb markup hits hardest.

honestly for just a month your best bet is the serviced apartment route, not condos. places like Somerset or Fraser Suites do monthly rates that sometimes beat Airbnb prices, especially if you book direct on their website. check the ones near Phrom Phong or Asok, they often have deals for 20-25K a month for a studio and you get a reception desk and cleaning thrown in, no 12 month contract needed

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
