Looking for somewhere to stay for more than a few days in Bangkok? Belleville is a excellent apartment block that’s well maintained and inexpensive

A while ago I wrote a guide to Cheap Long Term Accommodation In Bangkok, running through the different options that those of us on a budget had in order to find a nice home in the Thai capital. I mentioned that one of my favourite places was Belleville, where my girlfriend and I lived for a year. The rent was very cheap – around 16000 plus bills a month if you signed a six month contract – and the apartments are ready to move in to – all furniture, kitchen, crockery, cutlery, fridge and TV is included, plus Wireless Internet for another few hundred a month and free daily cleaning too. The reason I mention it again is because Belleville now have their own website – belleville-aparment.com – where you can get some more details and make an email enquiry about availability. Unsurprisingly, this place is popular so it pays to ask well in advance. Check my article on long term Bangkok accommodation if you want more accommodation options for less than $1000 USD a month.
