Lat Krabang, just up the road from me, what you looking for, house, townhouse or what?

Bargains, heres a piece of advice, best you get yourself to one of these older established moo baans and buy a house for about 3 million baht, you are basically buying the land and getting the house for free.
Knock down the house and put up a new one, total cost will be about 7 million baht, beats the 10 million plus some of these developers are selling these days.

^^^ Lat Krabang covers quite a large area, I usally just read the adverts on the side of the motorway as I drive.

Condos for less than 2 million, yes easily doable out that way.

Townhouses, heres a couple for 2.5 million, dare say if you hit the sois you will find them cheaper, so yes easily doable for your budget.

Here's an old one I had on my PC from around 2007. Depending on which version of excel you use, you may need to "enable editing" on opening excel after clicking on the link, otherwise some of the fields may come up with errors.

I have a few more elsewhere if this isn't what you're after - just need to find them

The main drawback with this one is that it assumes one rate throughout the term, so doesn't cater for promotional periods/ different rates in different years. It will give an idea though.

The actual way interest is calculated may vary slightly between Thai banks. So always worth asking for a quote. But they should be similar. They generally calculate on a daily basis, based on principal outstanding but not always

On the other hand car loans and HP often calculate based on original principal, so avoid using those

Jeez Fletch....how about a "Here's the damage" post.

^^^, , I always have a laugh as I am on the motorway, whizzing by the elephant statue heading towards Pra Ram 2, reading the signs for Thepaerak, etc, I usually pull off at the Pu Chao turn off right by the river.

Call me a liar, and I know many wont believe me, but its possible to buy houses down that way for less than 100,000 baht.

I always use lat krabang as an airport hotel area. A relative works for honda out that way and I caught a taxi to his place 1 night ,  400 plus baht later on the meter ,  we were still in lat krabang. Fairly big area and lots going on out there. 

Great place for a reasonably priced base. 

Its getting harder to stay in hotels with 2 kids now ,  so we'll just buy and use as a base. Let the relative pay some rent.
