Bangkok Suburban HousingThe suburbs are linked to the central business district by scenic elevated expressways about 20 meters (60 feet) above the ground, and major suburban areas are also linked by skytrain. Out in the suburbs, traffic is much better, and you will find the usual shopping conveniences in most places. The main difference is that the population density of foreigners is much lower. You can get a large house with a yard at a much lower price than near the city center, and a quiet, spacious neighborhood that the kids can ride a bike around in. Some people are confused upon arrival because many of the suburbs now have highrise office and residential buildings, which in some other cities may seem like a city center ambiance. I make a distinction based on three main issues: (1) what the vast majority of people call a "suburb", (2) the existence of spacious neighborhoods of houses, and (3) distance from the Silom-Sukhumvit area and places along the river at around that latitude. ThailandGuru / kkBkk.com have split the suburbs of highest interest to expats into 5 regions as shown on the map at the bottom of this page, and discussed in detail on separate pages of their own:
The commute times can be less or more, depending on time of day and location of office and home. I have routinely commuted in shorter times from all these locations. These suburban areas, which are the suburbs with the most expats, are denoted as green in the map below. The expressways are in red, and the skytrain is in blue (as well as the river being blue). Click on any large green region for more information on that region (same links as above).
kkBkk.com has an easy list of Bangkok suburban houses, condos and apartments. If you want a good guide or real estate agent, then please visit kkBkk.com and click on their contact page, or else contact the Thailand Guru here.
