For anyone visiting Bangkok for the first time, one of its most instantly recognizable traits is the skytrain. Winding through the city’s central financial and business districts, the BTS Skytrain allows tourists and Bangkokians alike to travel inexpensive and speedily along its two lines, Silom and Sukhumvit. However, travelling above the heaving Bangkok traffic isn’t the only way to get from A to B without being stuck in a traffic jam, there is also the Skytrain’s younger brother the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit).
Opened five years after the BTS Skytrain in 2004, the MRT, sometimes known as the Bangkok Metro, is a single line 18 station underground mass transit system stretching from the residential area of Bang Sue eastwards to Ladprao then southwards to Klong Toei and finally westwards to Hua Lampong, Bangkok’s main railway terminus. It interchanges with the BTS Skytrain at its stations in Silom, Sukhumvit, and Chatuchak Park. The MRT is cheap, quick, painstakingly maintained and safe, but it has also opened up areas of central Bangkok that were in the past not as accessible and thus not as attractive as potential areas to live.
Indeed, neighborhoods adjacent to MRT stations are some of the fastest developing areas in the city, but as yet, the prices of properties in these areas are yet to reach their equivalents near the BTS stations. Therefore, properties near the MRT offer some of the best value for money in Bangkok. Below, we have detailed just a few of these apartments that Bangkok Property Services can show you today.
First is the Klangkrung Resort in Huay Kwang. The Klangkrung Resort is located near Huay Kwang MRT station and the main business artery of Ratchada Road. Only a short walk to Robinson’s department store, Carrefour supermarket and Esplanade shopping mall, and featuring excellent facilities such as a large gym, Jacuzzi, and steam room as well as a restaurant, and sizeable 50sqm one bedroom apartments, Klangkrung Resort is an excellent option for those looking for a value for money condo that is excellently situated.

Even nearer to Huay Kwang MRT station (a mere fifty meters) is Life@Huay Kwang. This newly built high-rise apartment block overlooks Ratchada Road and is a short walk from Bangkok’s famous Huay Kwang market and a dizzying selection of restaurants and entertainment options. Life@Huay Kwang features a rooftop pool, gym and sauna. Studios are from 13,000 Baht, 1 bedroom units from 15,000 Baht, and its 2 bedroom apartments from 25,000 Baht.

Another excellent value for money apartment is Sitara Place. Situated near to Fortune Town IT mall, Tesco Lotus supermarket and Rama 9 MRT station, with free internet and cable television and large excellently furnished 40sqm studios available from 10,400 Baht, Sitara Place offers an excellent option for those looking to be near to the central hub of Asoke (only two MRT stations away) but wish to keep costs down.

Finally, for those looking for a high grade apartment at an affordable price there is the excellent Amanta apartment building. A beautiful resort style low-rise situated behind Esplanade shopping mall with its fashionable boutique stores and superb dining options and a two minute walk down a quiet soi to Ratchada Road and Thailand Cultural MRT Station, Amanta is one of the best properties in the area. One bedroom apartments are available from 30,000 Baht while the two bedroom units start from 40,000 Baht.
