For expatriates who have upped sticks from the UK, the US, Canada or anywhere else in the world, to live in Thailand, going home to their respective countries can generally be a both emotional and interesting experience. Emotional, of course, as seeing family and close friends after such a long time can possibly be a combination of happy, sad, difficult, and exciting, but, almost always, moving. Indeed, it often seems that the highest price we pay for what many of us deem a far higher quality of life in terms of weather, cost of living, entertainment options, and access to inexpensive healthcare, is the fact that we have to sacrifice regular contact with loved ones. However, once one has lived in Thailand for an extended period of time, one of the things that is interesting, about travelling back to your home town or city and seeing those people is the misconceptions they sometimes have about your new home.
Once you have sufficiently acclimatized to life in Thailand and can finally call the place home, the misconceptions the less travelled among those that you meet can, in actual fact, be rather startling. For many, their image of Bangkok is more akin to the 60s streets of Vietnam War era Hanoi than the affluent, ultra-modern city that the Thai capital is today. These people also imagine life in the metropolis as being a constant battle with poor transportation infrastructure and an impenetrable set of languages, customs, and culinary fare primarily consisting of feet, hooves and other even less enticing animal parts.
We, on the other hand, know this isn’t true. There are, of course, pockets of the city that may still hold true to this stereotyped and outdated view, but, these days, for an expatriate that wants to live in Thailand without having to forfeit a modern and metropolitan life, the possibilities are endless, and two of the very best areas to choose from in this respect are Thonglor and Phrom Phong.
The fashionable district of Thonglor boasts some of the best bars, restaurants and clubs in the city. Those looking to take advantage of the area have some excellent options with regards to apartments.
One of the most popular is the excellent The Clover condominium. A brand new low-rise condo located in the heart of Thonglor, only a short walk to J-Avenue shopping complex and the international Villa supermarket, The Clover offers studios (with partitions) starting from16,000 Baht, 45sqm one bedroom units from 25,000, and two bedrooms from 35,000 Baht for 75sqm.

Phrom Phong also offers a wealth of entertainment options and is viewed as one of the most attractive areas to live in Bangkok. There are a host of options for those wishing to take residence in Phrom Phong.
First is the The El Patio apartment complex. El Patio offers great value for money and there is a tuk tuk service to Phrom Phong BTS. Only two years old, it is built in a Spanish style and has a large pool. Its 50sqm one bedroom apartments start at 15,000 Baht, 80sqm two bedrooms from 20,000, and three bedroom apartments 30,000.

A second option is Condo One X on soi 26. Again, only a couple of years, Condo One X is walking distance to Phrom Phong BTS and K-Village lifestyle mall and features studios from 18,000, large 50sqm one bedroom units with closed off kitchens from 23,000, and two bedroom apartments from 34,000.

Finally, for those looking to live in the absolute lap of luxury, The Emporio Place is one of the finest condominiums in all of Bangkok. A brand new Grade A luxury residence located on the highly desirable residential soi 24, The Emporio Place offers river and city views and a mix of one bedroom /one bedroom duplexes , two bedroom /two bedroom duplexes and three bedroom condos. Prices starting from 35,000 Baht per month for 1bedroom, 48sqm units.
