Wow, thanks guys. I do not have social media, and haven't since 2016 so I can't see anything FB related. 

Pasta Man, thank you for the link. Will check it out. 

Good points. Probably going to find a smaller one bedroom. Looks like it is a 6 month minimum rental with first month/two months rent in deposit. Most appear to be one year leases. Still not bad, but the two buildings i'm looking at have luxury amenities right near the BTS. 

It will be a big downgrade from what i'm used to space-wise, but the ladies and the possibilities i'm sure will more than make up for living in a tiny apartment.

Okay, so I'm seeing a lot of conflicting information on prices of living in a nice area in BKK. 

My goal is to find a luxury building with month to month rental (6 months max). I want a 2/2 condo with balcony, great view near the BTS.

I am hearing (from youtubers) anywhere from $499/mo to seeing links of $1,500 USD/month. While $1,500 isn't a problem, I think that still sounds high for Thailand. 

SO, if I wanted to rent a ritzy 2/2 in Asoke or another hot spot near the railway, what am I realistically looking at? My retirement funds allow me about $5,600/mo in total spending, although I could go over that but don't want to.

As per the thread title, is anyone in Bangkok in early January (6th - 20th) that would be willing to meet up for a few drinks and maybe show me a few things? I know it may come across as strange, but I'll be traveling alone and I have never even been to Thailand, let alone Bangkok before. I've been reading various threads on this forum and it's all starting to seem a bit overwhelming for a beginner like me! 😂

I'm 31 and British if that is of any relevance..

I will be there Nov 15-May or possibly longer. PM me. 

Will be training in Thailand and make BKK my hub. Staying probably until May or so, or possibly longer. Probably on a fighter visa. 

In shape, stylish, educated, and make a pretty damn good wingman. 40's here but look younger. In shape, have pretty good game. I get along with all walks of life- so young, old, whatever doesn't matter as long as you are cool and not a sketchy dude who'll get us arrested, lol. I don't know a soul there except my old trainer. PM me if you'll be around.
