Since I am moving to Bangkok to work from July, I would like to know the minimum expenses I need to live in BKK per month, including housing, transportation, food, entertainment, etc. Is $150/ month enough to rent an apartment in BKK? I am also looking for a place near skytrain or mrt to live in BKK, if you know, pls let me know. My office is on Silom road. Thank you.

During the peak hours, evening and morning, how long would it take to drive from Bangkok to Amphawa?

I will be in Bangkok for a week. I'm widening my options and thinking of renting a landed property instead of putting up at hotels or serviced apartments but I'm unsure if there is such an option. So far, I've checked some websites and it seems that for landed property, it's a minimum of 1 month's stay. Any websites with related information on this? Thanks. I prefer personal space, some peace and tranquility like the comfort of a home.
