What advice would you give someone preparing to move to your area about the actual move, choosing a neighborhood and finding a home?

If you are about to relocate to Bangkok, try to stay close to the skytrain or subway route; silom, sukhumvit or lansuan area are nice. To find home, you can start your own search at www.roommillion.com and send the enquiry to them.

What type of housing do you live in? Is this typical for most expats in your area?

Once I arrived Bangkok, my company reserved a serviced apartment in Silom (cannot remember the name). And I signed contract 1 year after that in Condominium which is cheaper, RoomMillion can arrange the maid cleaning for you if you want.

How did you choose your neighborhood and find your home or apartment?

I did lots of online searching and I found a pretty helpful website; www.roommillion.com and www.click4apartment.com - you can check it out. I had experienced inspection property with RoomMillion's staffs, they are so friendly and professional.

Are your housing costs higher or lower than they were in your home country? What is the average cost of housing there?

It is quite the same, around $100-150 per month
