Real estate agents working in the capital of Thailand are often asked which area of Bangkok is most suitable for foreigners. The problem is that there is no direct answer to this question because lifestyle hopes and expectations are subjective. With that in mind, the short answer is, ideal A place where foreigners live in Bangkok.
Every house and its surroundings are not equal
Some people live in high-rise apartments in lively and vibrant areas such as Asoke and Nana and enjoy a wonderful city view from the window in the living room. Others may like the more intimate atmosphere of low-rise condominiums and apartments in the bustle of the city like On Nut.
However, for foreigners working in CBD in Bangkok, access to offices and securing of places are essential. This may mean that when they are looking for accommodation they have to be more practical than extortion. For them, the Sathorn region is often a favorable place and Jenacart is a very good choice.
Inakat / Sathorn area
Located in the center of Bangkok is actually quite a bit more than Yenakart because it is located in the center in a quiet, green area with easy access to Rama 3 Expressway, Rama 4 Road, Sathorn Road, Narathiwat Road. It is a difficult place.
It is also important to note that there are three access points from Bangkok's public transportation network. The first one and the original one is Chong Nonsi BTS (Skytrain) station which is just a 5-minute drive from the central Yenakart area. Also near the Lumpini MRT (subway) station is near the Q-House Lumpini (38 storey office building at the corner of Sathon and Rama 4 road). From Q-House, the residents can reach out to most of the condos listed in this article within 15 minutes on foot. Finally, there is Yenakart BRT (Bus · Rapid Transit) station which opened recently in BRT line of Bangkok.
Next, let's take a look at the type of accommodation available at Yenakart.
Resorta Yenakart
Fortunately, Yenakart offers rental of over 100,000 THB / Mo, from low cost studios starting from about 13,000 THB / Mo to beautiful and spacious 3 bed condos. However, The Resorts Yenakart in Yang Nawa district of Bangkok offers smaller, lower cost units.
One bedroom unit has facilities of 15,000 THB / Mo, but more attractive rooms are 18,000 THB / Mo. Resorta Yenakart is a low-rise apartment with a total of 308 condominiums. Condominiums include the following:
- Large swimming pool

Resorta is the perfect hotel for those wanting to live in the CBD area of Bangkok.
Sathorn Plus Condominium Sansiri
The price rise is two high-rise low-rise apartment buildings of Sathorn plus on the pond and Sathorn plus of the garden (both are on the main Jena Cart Road). These condominiums were constructed by Sansiri (one of Thailand's largest real estate development companies) and provide a practical life in the Yenakart district.
Typical facilities of each of these Sathorn Plus condos include the following:

These Sansiri 50sqm 1 bed unit rented about 24,000 THB / Mo in writing and the studio is slightly cheaper with only 17,000 THB / Mo.
Baan Sirsaton, Inakat
Baan Sirsatone is in a place not far from the above two low-rise buildings. This is another high-quality low-rise building that also provides a grade A life for residents.
As with other low-rise accommodations in this area, there is a good feeling of both intimacy and quality regarding places. With solid wooden floors, window covered with powder, and top quality fixtures & fittings, these units are truly something else.
At the time of writing, the 35 sqm studio condo is rented at about 20,000 THB / Mo. One bedroom of 55 tsubo is about 30,000 THB / Mo, 80 m 2 bedroom 40 thousand THB / Mo.

Baan Sirisathorn is a cozy residence, making a perfect home for foreigners working in CBD.
Lanai Condominium
As mentioned earlier, Yenakart has accommodation that meets various tastes, budgets and requirements. If you like traditional Southeast Asian style and architectural style, Lanai is the perfect place for you.
This monopoly condo is an 8-storey low-rise project with a total of 34 and 2 bed units. Lanai offers tenants a very rare alternative in Bangkok's life.
It is a Hyatt building, the highest quality building of 5 stars. Lanai does not resemble what is expected of luxurious retreats in tropical regions such as Samui, Phuket, Phuket, even Bali in Indonesia.
The condo in Lanai is huge and there are more than 250 m² of three bedroom units. Two bedroom units also exceed 200 sqm. Condominiums in Lanai offer quality and luxury, are bright, airy and refined. Facilities include:

The moment of entering the lobby, it was brought far from Bangkok and seems to have miraculously landed at a beautiful 5-star resort along the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. It is no doubt that this high-quality residence provides what is not in other apartments in Bangkok.
Clearly, this space, luxury, and high lifestyle are all offered at the price. Rent fee of 3 bedroom units near 100,000 THB / Mo will be only high income people in Bangkok staying at Lanai Condominium.
Conclusion
As you can see, this little known and often forgotten corner of Bangkok is known as Yenakart. In fact it offers many choices and conveniences. BTS Skytrain, MRT Metro, Bangkok BRT system is easily accessible, so some of this city remains a hidden jewel. In addition, foreigners who own cars can easily access Rama 4 Road, Rama 3 Road, Narathiwat Road, Sathorn Road, Rama 3 Expressway.
I returned to the beginning paragraph that it was said that there is no area most suitable for foreigners in Bangkok. Sometimes after all, sometimes Yenakart!
