"Andrew Ferrett has published a guide to budget apartments in Bangkok.
Bless him. This book can save you a lot of walking around town in dust and noise and 40 C.
I came across this book in Bookazine and bought a copy for 425 baht.
I have seen other books about Bangkok rentals but they are often either
upmarket or they are commerical catalogues with no attempt at giving independent information.
Mr. FerrettтАЩs book is an actual guidebook. He seems to have visited all the 400 buildings
(what an ordeal!). I have been to some of the buildings he writes about and
his comments on rents, standards, locations etc look correct to me."

Bangkok Budget Apartment Guide
A guide to over 400 apartments and condominium
properties for rent in Central Bangkok
"As a foreigner arriving in Bangkok, finding suitable (and affordable)
apartments can be a huge undertaking. The backpacker rooms available
in every Soi seem cramped & squalid, and the large serviced condos
seem pretentious and overpriced.
Good properties below 30,000 Baht per month just arenтАЩt found easily.
Owners find it unnecessary to advertise as there is a ready demand,
and agents are more interested in the higher commissions.
This book is designed to give you access to most of the interesting Bangkok
properties in this price range. Aimed primarily at rents from 8,000 Baht upwards,
we have included some rooms as low as 3,000 Baht where we felt it worth mentioning.
Every listing shows a photo of the property to give a real impression,
and all under 30,000 baht."
and more....
