Furnished Apartments Bangkok | Move-In Ready, No Fees

Good news for anyone moving to Bangkok: the vast majority of condos here rent fully furnished, so "furnished" is less a filter than a baseline. The real questions are what counts as furnished, what is missing, and how to avoid a tired unit or an inventory dispute on move-out. Here is what to expect and check.

What "furnished" includes in Bangkok

A standard furnished condo comes with a bed and wardrobe, a sofa and TV, a dining set, a fitted kitchen with fridge and microwave, a washing machine, and air-conditioning in every room. Curtains, a water heater and light fittings are standard. It is genuinely move-in ready — bring a suitcase and some kitchenware.

What is usually not included

Most units do not come with kitchenware, cutlery, bed linen, towels or small appliances like a kettle or toaster. A few bare or part-furnished units exist (cheaper, but you supply furniture). Always confirm whether an oven, dishwasher or dryer is present — these are less common than back home.

Best areas for furnished rentals

Furnished is the default across the expat-focused areas — Sukhumvit (Asoke, Phrom Phong, Thonglor, Ekkamai), Sathorn and Silom — so you are spoilt for choice. Value-focused renters find the same furnished standard in On Nut, Bang Na, Ari and Ladprao for less.

How to protect your deposit

The biggest furnished-rental risk is the move-out inventory dispute. On handover, get a written inventory list, photograph every item and any existing damage, and have the owner acknowledge it. This one step is what gets your two-month deposit back cleanly at the end of the lease.

Lease terms and deposits

Furnished units rent on the standard 12-month lease with one month in advance and a two-month deposit, utilities separate. Furnished rates are marginally higher than bare units, but the saving versus buying furniture for a one- or two-year stay is large.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are most Bangkok apartments furnished?

Yes — the large majority of condos rent fully furnished, including appliances and air-conditioning. Bare units exist but are the exception.

Does furnished include kitchenware and linen?

Usually not. Furniture and major appliances are included; cutlery, kitchenware, linen and towels you supply yourself.

Are furnished apartments more expensive?

Slightly, but far cheaper than furnishing a unit yourself for a 12-month stay.

How do I get my deposit back?

Document the unit on move-in — a written inventory plus photos of every item and any damage — so there is no dispute on move-out.

Are utilities included?

Usually not; electricity and water are billed separately at the building’s rate.
