here’s our apartment! it’s in the khumsiphaya grand hotel, in the north-eastern corner of the old city (within the city walls). there’s tons of good eats and bars in this area!

the apartment itself is about $190USD/month (6500 baht/month) depending on how strong the dollar vs. the baht is at the moment. electricity is extra, not sure how much that’s going to be but the lady at the counter in the lobby said if we ran our aircon constantly it wouldn’t be more than 3000 baht.

it’s around 400 sq ft, which is the size of my old apartment in wilmington minus the hallway. it’s a studio apartment on the 3rd floor, with a king sized bed and awesome balcony that looks out onto the western mountain. there’s also a lockable drawer (big enough for our laptops) for valuables. behind me in this picture is the door to the hallway, the closet, and a large bench. there’s plenty of shelf and closet space. if we go up the flight of stairs from this floor, there’s roof access! it’s a great area, with tile floor and lots of plants and tables set out. there’s maid service on mondays and thursdays, which is when we get fresh linens and the trash taken out.

all in all, i’d say a pretty good deal!
