Serviced Apartments walking distance to VICTORY MONUMENT

[donald1]

I will be taking a job teaching where I will need to catch a van from Victory Monument.
I would need to move in around March 1'st, 2015.

I am looking for a furnished studio or 1 bedder near Victory Monument or near a close BTS station.
I am a 60 year old very reliable, quiet and dependable American male. I would consider a roommate situation.

Any and all leads will be greatly appreciated.

If it's a serviced apartment you're after, I've had friends stay for a few months at a time at VP Tower (http://www.vptower.com/index.html) and speak highly of it. It's a bit too out of the way for a447, they say (thankfully).

I had a look in that area a year ago, and there must be plenty of them, the best way to find them is to walk around, take a Thai friend to translate adverts for room that are in Thai.

1. Victory Monument and Rangnam (Victory Monument BTS)

With a fantastic network of transportation, tons of Thai street food, and lots of apartments to choose from, Victory Monument is a great place to live.

Thanon Rangnam, a road that is perpendicular to Victory Monument BTS station, is a pleasant street that hosts Thai and international restaurants, some cosy cafes and a couple small laid back bars. There are quite a number of nice serviced apartments and rentals. You may also want to head to Ratchaprarop Road where thereтАЩs also a lot of cheaper apartments to choose from.

2. Soi Ari and Saphan Kwai (Ari BTS, Saphan Kwai BTS)

Just north of Victory Monument (approaching Mo Chit) is Soi Ari, an area of Bangkok that offers plenty of apartment rentals, a few guest houses and a mixture of cheap street food, quaint cafes and garden style sit down restaurants.

There are quite a few little places to catch wi-fi and a lot of hidden neighborhood restaurant hang outs. ItтАЩs a really nice area to live in.
