Ira and I are really enjoying ourselves these days. We have finally decided where we’re going to live until December 16. Not only have we decided that we’re going to stay in Bangkok, but we’ve found a very nice fully furnished apartment that only costs $500 (21,000 baht) per month and has one bedroom, a living room, a separate kitchen, and a bath (and a little balcony). Also included are linens, TV (even HBO on the cable), and daily maid service, with the sheets and towels changed 3 times a week. The building has a swimming pool and an OK workout room, along with a nice lobby and lounge area.
We think the location is going to be great. The apartment is literally a 5 minute walk to the Sky train (as opposed to our current 20 minute walk) and is in a nice neighborhood that is quieter than our present one, but still lively. We figure we can always hop the Sky train and come down to Sukhumvit. Our new place is in the Victory Monument area – in fact, our apartment is called The Victory Executive Residences. Despite the posh name, the building is actually just right. It’s not at all pretentious and still very comfortable.

Our unit is called “bedroom B” on the web. Also, we got a better price than what is listed on the web (28,000 Baht) because they’re having a special ;>).
