Any tips for renting a one month apartment in Bangkok for under $500/month?


in Bangkok , Thailand by @kirill 9yr  | 6 comments

Iโ€™m moving to Bangkok in November, and shooting to find an apt. with wifi for under $500 / month, for probably just a one month stay.

More curious about which neighborhoods to look for, something lively and fun as well. And any methods too, Iโ€™ve been looking at Airbnbs but get the feeling that itโ€™s a little inflated on there.

Thanks!

Short term rentals (less than 6 or even 3 months) are a little hard to find in Bangkok. Doable, but for one month not worth the effort. Best you look for an AirBnB, short term serviced apartment or get a monthly deal at a Hotel/Hostel.
My tip: Keep an open mind to more outlying areas (ie not Sukhumvit). As long as you are close to the trains, youโ€™re golden. And the cultural experience will be more authentic too.

Thanks Jules - Iโ€™ve been debating downtown vs somewhere farther, could you recommend any neighborhoods that would be alright for a non native speaker?

@jules 9yr

Your main concern will be finding something for such a short term. As I said, strongly consider hotels and AirBnBs. Itโ€™ll take a week anyway to get your bearings, visit condos, sign a contract, deposit the securityโ€ฆ

Language is always somewhat of an issue. Less so in places geared directly towards foreigners, that will also be more expensive. Be patient, persistant, smile a lot. And donโ€™t commit from abroad without having seen the place.

For apartments: I am partial to the area between MRT stations Lat Phrao and Phahon Yothin. But the other side of the river along the BTS and BRT lines could be worth checking out.

Hmโ€ฆ Its always hard finding something like that - especially in Bangkok and plus in November when everyone is coming to celebrate and see Loy Krathong.
I would recommend you to check http://www.rompomansion.com/content.php?iden=21
this is the place i used to stay when i moved to Bkk - and it looks waaaaay nicer now! (also prices are higher but trust me finding a place in Bkk that you can rent monthly is so so hard)

Also live and fun neighborhoods are Ari, ThongLo (my favourite) , Ekamai, Prakhanong (closer to the BTS) Asok and Silom.

Hope this helps a bit!

How to get a UK residence address without renting/buying?


by @pavel_maximov 4yr 4 years ago  | 17 comments

Background:
Iโ€™m an EU national IT specialist, recently decided to become a digital nomad. I just left my permanent job in Germany and opened a UK based LTD (for a better taxation) to start a new career as remote working IT contractor. I also want to become a UK resident and pay personal income tax there BUT I donโ€™t want to rent/buy a place because I have no interest in physically living in the UK, as a nomad I will be traveling abroad 100% of the time.

So I just need a UK address where Iโ€™m registered as a resident and could receive mail, but I would never actually be there. I could rent a place and keep it empty but that would be a total waste of money.

Question:
How do I find somebody who could give me an official residence at his/her address and keep my name on the door? Iโ€™m ok with paying a reasonable monthly fee for this โ€œserviceโ€ (but not as high as a rent), and give assurance in whatever form that I will never pretend to physically live there. I have no close friends in the UK to ask for this favor, and trying to propose this to a random landlord would be just weird since they are not familiar with the needs of a digital nomad.

Maybe you guys can suggest me somebody who understand the situation and want to make some extra cash every month to pay the bills? Iโ€™m ready to meet in person, provide full proof of identity or any other document, and to make a written agreement that gives the landlord the freedom to cancel this โ€œsituationโ€ at any time.

Note:
This is NOT for tax evasion, itโ€™s the opposite! I WANT to pay full tax as UK resident, I just donโ€™t want to waste money on a rent which I will literally never use.

I would be very grateful for any advice!

Anyone have tips for preventing or getting over jet lag? ๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿ˜ดโœˆ๏ธ


by @artofbryce 5yr 5 years ago  | 10 comments

We just finished our first stint around South East Asia and somehow survived 3 days of way too many flights, leaving me to feel like death.

Too much shitty airplane food, not enough sleep, big time difference from Mexico to SEA.

Anyone have tips to prevent that more in the future (aside from better flight plans)? More importantly, how do I recover faster from this horror?

Living in Dubai for a month. Tips?


in Dubai , United Arab Emirates by @cyrilgupta 6yr 6 years ago  | 2 comments

Heya!
I have to be in Dubai by end of the month to finish the formation of my company and residency etc. Iโ€™ve stayed at hotels earlier, but that sounds pretty impractical considering I will be living there nearly for a month.

Anyone got any tips about renting a short-stay apartment for a month? Maybe even a few leads?

What about living in Dubai? I will be working hard, but I donโ€™t want to be bored out of my mind. Places I can hang out, things I can do?

Please share :slight_smile:

Parenting whilst nomads


by @figoshow 6yr 6 years ago  | 13 comments

My wife and I are both nomadic performers traveling the world full time for the last 10 years, we tend to stay in a place for around 3 months then move on. We are about to have our first kid, our main concern is how our kid is going to make friends and build relationships being nomadic, How do you deal with this and help your kids with this aspect of our lifestyle.

Moving to Thailand for 6-9 months in August. Bangkok or somewhere else?


in Bangkok , Thailand by @andrea3018 7yr 7 years ago  | 14 comments

Hello Nomads,
I would like to move in Thailand for 6-9 months starting from August.
Iโ€™ll definetely stay in Chiang Mai as base for most of the time but Iโ€™d like to do the first month (August) in Bangkok or somewhere else.
What place would you recommend to visit first?
Would Bangkok be a good place to be during August?
I was also checking at the east coast isles but I got a little frightened out by the moonsoon idea but still, it would be cool to go to beaches and have some sun during that month :slight_smile: .
Would the moonsoons or the rain really be a problem?
Iโ€™ll move to Chiang Mai from september anyway but I would just like to start somewhere else since I have to wait for my girlfriend to come during september.

Thank you in advance for your advices,
Sorry for the bad english,
Andrea

Any tips for nomad'ing from Tanzania to South Africa?


in South Africa by @tylertringas 7yr 7 years ago  | 3 comments

Hi nomads! Iโ€™m headed to Tanzania in mid-July and working my way down to Cape Town over about 2.5 months. Itโ€™s my first time in the region. Any tips or warnings for typical nomad concerns in Tanzania, Zambia, Botswana, Mozambique and South Africa?

Iโ€™m anticipating worse than usual wifi speed but any tips on connectivity would be great.

What are the best sites or strategies for accommodation? I usually use Airbnb, hostelworld or booking.com and target guesthouses in the $50/night or cheaper range. Is that realistic?

Most importantly what should we do?! Iโ€™ve already research the obvious highlights: Kilimanjaro, Serengeti, Zanzibar, Victoria Falls, etc. Any off the beaten path things to do and/or good spots to post up for a few weeks and enjoy/work?

Thanks :smile:

Im going to be in Bangkok for a few days and iโ€™m searching good places and not expensive price (around 25$ a day max) - iโ€™m thinking on airbnb flat/private room but iโ€™m seeing a lot of hotels/guest houses on this budget.

Malta: Where to stay, how to find apartments

Am I best sticking around sliema/st julians? Or st paulโ€™s bay? Or in Valletta itself?
