Guest House, Hotel or Apartment?
This is the question on the lips of most people who are planning their trip to Thailand. Especially those who are planning to stay and work for the long term. An apartment sounds like an attractive option, not only because they have a more 'permanent' feeling than a guest house/hotel, but also because they work out to be cheaper in the long term.
However, an apartment isn't always a good option to begin with. Most apartment buildings require a 3 month deposit, and a 3-6 month contract. Bangkok is a big place and, right now, you probably don't know exactly which offer of employment you'll be accepting (there will be, after all, so many job offers once you've finished the course!). It is also not a good idea to book an apartment (ie: pay a deposit) without having first seen the room and compared it to a handful of other options.
If, however, your heart is set on finding an apartment, an excellent website to start looking for one is MrRoomFinder.com. If you'd rather stay in a Guest House or Hotel, then read on!
