How much exactly is "JUST RIGHT"?
You all have probably ran into countless problems, often asking yourselves, "WHICH TYPE OF ROOM SHOULD I BUY?" or "WHAT KIND OF ROOM WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR ME?". Join us today as we give you a look at the various types of rooms to choose from!
Types of Rooms
Studio: Single room, 20-28 sqm, 1-2M THB
A studio room is typically 20 to 28 square meters. Most of the time, the zones of the room aren't clearly separated from each other, to which the bedroom and living room are combined. As for the kitchen, some are separated by a wall, while some are just a blank area in which a slide door can be installed as well.
Best for: Lone tenants who only need a simple condo to back to after work.
Price: Best for those whose budget isn't very high, coming at approximately 1-2M THB, no more than 3M THB, the standard price for studio rooms.
Not suitable for: Cooks or those who just like spacious areas, due to lack of space.

1 Bedroom: Includes one bedroom, 30-64sqm, 2-5M THB(varies)
This type of room, as the name suggests, includes one bedroom in addition to one bathroom, kitchen, and a living area, all of which measures 30 to 64 square meters. Zones in this room are clearly separated, particularly the bedroom from the living room. However, the rest depends on the condo design itself as to whether or not the kitchen and living room would be separated from each other or will we have to renovate them ourselves afterwards.
Best for: 1-2 tenants, particularly couples, since this type of room is considerably larger and more spacious than the studio rooms. Most importantly, this type of room is perfect for cooks, as one does not have to concern themselves with smell issues.
Price: Best for those who have a mid-to-high budget, since the 1-bedroom type of room varies depending on the overall size of the room in square meters. For instance, if one is interested in a 30 square meter room, that would be approximately 2-5M THB.
Not suitable for: Those who estimate prices that aren't too high, particularly families.

1 Bedroom Plus: Bonus multipurpose room, 32 sqm, same price range as 1 Bedroom (varies)
While similar in size as a standard 1 bedroom, coming in starting at 32 square meters, what a 1 bedroom plus brings to the table is one additional medium-sized empty room, the multipurpose room. Depending on the tenant, it can be anything from an additional bedroom to a personal office, a fitness area, or a room for kids.
Best For: 1-2 tenants, especially families who are recently married or are expecting a child.
Price: Best for those who have a mid-to-high budget, much like the standard 1 Bedroom, with the price range being relatively close and varying depending on the overall room size in square meters.
Not suitable for: Lone tenants who may desire a smaller, more compact room.
2 Bedroom: Two bedrooms, 40-100 sqm, 3M THB and up (varies)
There are 2 bedrooms within this type of room, coming in at 40 to 100 square meters. However, the rooms themselves come in at varying sizes, some having a master bedroom and a smaller bedrooms, while in some cases both bedrooms are relatively large, with some even including one or two bathrooms. If there are two bathrooms, one will be within the main bedroom and the other would be outside.
Best for: Parents with one child, or for staying with friends, as clear room separation greatly provides privacy.
Price: A 2 Bedroom's starting price is 3M THB and above. Keep in mind that prices will vary depending on various factors such as width, overall square meters size, and location

Duplex: Two-story condo, over 4m tall, 5M THB (varies)
A Duplex is another name for a two-story condo, as we've been accustomed to calling. The room is over 4 meters in height, making it suitable for people who want a nice, big, comfortable room comparable to that of a house. As for the second floor, it is a free-to-decorate multipurpose room, which typically become a bedroom or an additional living room.
There will be two separated bedrooms, depending on the design of the condo development itself.
Best for: Those who want a house-like vibe, thanks to its height and spaciousness, as well as those who want the bedroom separated from other areas of the room.
Price: Starting price for a duplex room is 5M and above, depending on the size of the room and the location.
Not suitable for: People who don't like heights or those who feel as if privacy is lacking.

Penthouse: Most luxurious, over 100 sqm, 25M THB and up
Finally, the room that everyone says is nice and spacious, as close to a house as one could possibly get, so luxurious, that can be none other than a penthouse, which is the rarest in any condo development due to its luxurious exclusivity, coming in over 100 square meters in size.
Usually, a penthouse is located closer to the very top of the condo development, due to it requiring a huge amount of space and privacy. Bedrooms are separated into at least three bedrooms, and accommodations are more than enough. However, additional decorations are limited only to the tenants' desires.
Best for: Those who want privacy and a spacious area, as well as those who prefer staying inside the room more than outside, or those who are inviting friends and families to stay in this luxurious environment.
Price: A penthouse is a huge leap in the way of price, coming in significantly higher than most rooms at 25M THB and above.
Not suitable for: Those on a budget and not asking too much out of their stay in the way of additional accommodations or decorations.
