How do I find a place to live in Bangkok?

"When looking for a place to live in Bangkok, it is important to consider your budget, location, and amenities. Start by researching different neighborhoods in Bangkok to find one that fits your needs. Consider the proximity to public transportation, restaurants, and other amenities. Once you have narrowed down your search, you can look for apartments or houses for rent on websites such as Craigslist, Expat.com, or Bangkok.com. Additionally, you can contact a real estate agent to help you find a place that meets your needs," said one expat who made the move to Bangkok.
