Personal comments

Siam paragon Mall. Good BTS (skytrain) and MRT (underground). It's extremely difficult to get from point A to point B because Bangkok is heat and concrete. Traffic jams. You may underestimate this because there's plenty of transport (which is damned expensive btw!) but heat sucks the life out of you.

Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

Cheap apartments. Make sure that your AC matches your apartment. If you get some sort of basic AC in a big apartment, it will be hot as hell. Best of luck getting your deposit back.
