There are many real estate rental sites available in Thailand. These websites should be the first place you look while searching for a place to rent. At the very least, rental websites give you an idea of the average rental cost of the area you’re interested in.
Keep in mind that prices listed on websites are often negotiable. This means getting a discount of 20% from the list price is not unusual. But it may take a while to find a place suitable to your needs.
Hipflat
At the time of writing, Hipflat is one of the best real estate sites in Thailand. It offers an intuitive, map interface with one of the largest inventories for Bangkok. Based on the included offers, it looks like they pull part of their inventory from other websites and forums. When selecting a specific part of the city on the map, you can see the exact locations of places and prices.
9apartment

The limited info often available is in both Thai and English. It’s also the best online site if you’re looking for small buildings that are often not listed on any of the other real estate sites.
