A real Bangkok neighbourhood one stop past the expat belt
Phra Khanong is one stop past the main expat belt, and prices reflect that. W Market's open-air food yard runs every evening, the fresh market runs in the mornings. Less English is spoken than further in. Asok is a short train ride, so you're not far out: you're just past the point where rents jump.

Tell us which unit and we'll arrange a viewing: usually same or next day. 2 months' deposit plus 1 month's rent to move in: no agent fee, and the deposit comes back when you leave.
