• Nana Square 
  A multi-store shopping center located by the corner of Soi Sukhumvit 3, or very well known as Soi Nana. This shopping center offers everything you need from clothing stores, suits and tailor made, grocery stores, and many authentic restaurants.

Landmarks and Business Districts 

• Bumrungrad International Hospital
  One of the most famous private hospitals in Bangkok, Bumrungrad International Hospital offers world-class medical treatment not only for Thai patients but also for everyone from overseas.

How to get to Nana

By Public Transportation

Skytrain station with the same name, BTS Nana is a stop for this neighborhood. The area goes along the BTS Sukhumvit line from the northern part of Sukhumvit until the very end at Asoke station. As mentioned that Nana offers convenient walking distances with everything in between, you can just take a stop to this station and walk to everywhere you need. And within a few walks or one BTS station away, you will find BTS Asoke station which is an easy connection to MRT lines of Sukhumvit station.

By Cars 

Nana area goes along with Sukhumvit road which sometimes faces heavy traffic during rush hours. We recommended taking BTS to avoid this busy road. However, traveling within Nana by car takes you to a lot of shortcuts here. Nana area starts from Soi Sukhumvit 3 which is an access shortcut to New Petchburi road in Makkasan district. Then on Soi Sukhumvit 4 toward the Thailand Tobacco Monopoly leads you to Ploenchit Intersection on Ploenchit Road.

Nana’s upcoming landmarks 

Being a top destination for middle eastern travelers when visiting Thailand, in the future we are going to see more and more hotel projects, especially the high-scale one in this area, as these groups of travelers always stay in chain hotels rather than just a standalone one. Considering this area is a great opportunity for investment as well, if anyone is looking to own a property in this neighborhood, this is your chance to make more money in the long term.

How much does the area cost in Nana

We might actually spot more hotels than residential or condominium projects in the Nana neighborhood. Hotels in the area range from ultra luxury, mid-scale to even hostel. That explains how popular the neighborhood is for travelers who want to experience Bangkok’s nightlife and Arabian communities. The rise of the hotel is one reason why the cost of this area is rising each year. The price is between 210,000-650,000 baht/sqm. (as of October 13th, 2022) and continuing with expectation of hotel projects.

The rental price is starting from 10,000 baht/month for a condominium. However, it might be a little rare to find any rentals available under that price, since the area is pretty much surrounded by many high-end hotels which makes it difficult to find a lower price for any kind of accommodation. But you can be sure to have a property with such a perfect location.

Consequently, the area has become a gathering place for office workers. To accommodate the growing population, numerous condominium real estate projects were developed. Furthermore, the proximity of the Thai stock exchange and the presence of the Chinese Embassy near the MRT station have further contributed to the area's economic significance.

Property search and using Property agencies

Property agents are usually area experts, they can assist in finding a rental option and can help negotiate better rental rates. For more information of property agency, please click property agent agreement. 

A property agent’s scope of services usually includes the following:

Rental process in Bangkok

Renting a condo in Bangkok is an incredibly straightforward process. While property requirements can vary from person to person, the steps and processes remain the same.

Step 1: Property research

It is always a good idea to do some personal research beforehand by looking into preferred areas. Also, locating condos or apartments of interest that you would like to view goes a long way. Finally, be sure to determine property requirements such as: 

• Budget range
• General location requirements
• Number of beds and minimum size required
• Any facilities required

Once all the requirements are decided on, the best way to quickly and efficiently shortlist apartments or condos is to contact a property agency. They will be able to provide suggestions and show you the condos or apartments based on your requirement. 

Step 2: Negotiations 

Once you find the right property that suits your requirements, you can go ahead and make an offer. 

In Bangkok, negotiating rental rates and conditions of a rental is normal. Typically, tenants tend to negotiate on: 

• Monthly rental rate 
• Move-in dates 
• Period of contract (i.e., 12 months, 18 months, etc.) 
• Special requests (i.e., provision of electrical appliances or replacement of an item of furniture)  

Step 3: Offers 

When you make an offer, it will be important to be clear on: 

• Desired rental rate
• Signing and move-in date
• Period of lease required

By being clear and decisive, this will improve your chances of the landlord agreeing to your offer and requests. 

Step 4: Booking 

The custom in Bangkok is to reserve the property once the offer has been accepted by paying a booking fee (equal to one month's rent), the first month's rent will be applied to this booking fee. 

Once the booking fee is paid, property agencies start drafting the rental lease agreement, inventory list, and supporting photo inventory. The landlord will clean the apartment and ensure that all problems and requests are resolved before the lease is signed. 

Step 5: Signing 

The paperwork is sent to both the landlord and future tenant for review. Once everything is approved and ready, a signing date is agreed and confirmed. Usually on the signing date, all parties (landlord, tenant, and agent) meet to sign and confirm acceptance of the terms of the lease agreement and items on the inventory list. 

Step 6: Moving in 

Once signed, the tenant will pay a standard security deposit to the landlord equivalent to two months’ rent. This security deposit is refundable at the end of the lease period, but it will be a deduction if there is any further damage than normal wear and tear. Tenants are allowed to prepare their staff and move in the room. 

Step 7: Tenancy 

Any maintenance issues during the rental period can usually be referred to the property agency or the landlord. If the issue is minor (i.e., popped light bulbs or loose fittings), it is usually possible to contact the building management of a condo or apartment that has technicians and handymen on hand. 

Step 8: Checking out

Once the rental term is over, assuming you will not be renewing your lease, the standard is to have a formal check-out meeting. Similar to the signing, all parties will meet to assess the condition of the property. Usually, any areas of concern that may be subject to deductions can be discussed and negotiated. Landlords will need to refund the security deposit within 30 days of the tenant moving out.
