Choose a smaller place that is reasonably priced
Choosing the right unit size is important as this can help you save on both monthly installments and maintenance fees. The space should not be more than 30 square meters which is enough for living alone. You can choose from a studio to one-bedroom apartment. The price range should not exceed 1.5 million baht so you can pay off the monthly installments faster which means you will pay less interest over time.
