14 ธ.ค. 2022 เทคนิคการซื้อขายเช่า


Finding the ideal Bangkok condo for rent that would best suit your needs is not difficult. 

💡 You may be overwhelmed by how many options you have available to you! 

Not only is there a wide range of condo projects across the city so that you will have a good selection in almost every neighborhood, but you can find almost every type, including modern and luxury condos, for rent in Bangkok. Another style you could consider is a duplex condo for rent in the city.

This article will explain what duplex condos are and what they have to offer. It will also suggest some duplex properties in Bangkok that you might want to look into.

  What is a Duplex Condo?

A duplex condo is a single unit that extends up two stories, connected by a stairway.
Typically, the downstairs area comprises shared areas, including the living area, kitchen, and dining area. The second floor is where the bedrooms are, while the bathrooms could be on either or both floors. Nevertheless, the configurations could be a little different, with a bedroom on the first floor or a living space on the second floor. 

Often, there is a separate entrance on each floor so that residents can exit to the public areas from either level. The condo may be called a loft if there is only one entrance.
While both levels must be at least 2.4 meters high, the first floor may extend up through the second on the side that faces out to take advantage of double the natural lighting.

  What are the Benefits of a Duplex Condo?

You may find many benefits if the Bangkok condo for rent you choose is a duplex.

With two levels, you can have additional privacy by separating shared spaces and bedrooms. If the main living areas, including the kitchen and dining room, are downstairs, you can keep visitors away from private bedroom spaces upstairs.
And if there are separate entrances on each floor of the duplex, that not only provides more privacy but also gives a better sense of security in case residents need to leave quickly due to an emergency.

Most duplexes take advantage of the two stories...

  • by having a high-ceilinged living area that offers a more spacious feel. 

Also, as mentioned above, this usually includes ―

  • a two-story window that lets more light in for even more spaciousness and an even better view, especially if the unit is on a higher floor of the building. Furthermore, with the added height, staircase, and unique layout, you can get even more creative with interior design and decoration.

There are also some disadvantages that you may want to consider with duplexes. For example, you may want to avoid small children climbing up and down the stairs if you have a family. Also, depending on the design, the stairs may take up space you could otherwise use for a living area or even a bedroom. There are also potential added electricity costs, especially with the tall windows. It may offer a great view, but it could also heat up the condo, requiring more air conditioning.

  How is a duplex different from a luxury condo?

When comparing different properties when looking for a Bangkok condo for rent, you may prefer the more lavish accommodations, facilities, and services that are offered with a luxury condo. 

― However, you can still avail yourself of these benefits and enjoy the height of a duplex condo. 

These two styles are not mutually exclusive. Many luxury developments offer duplex condos so that residents can feel more like they are living in a house than in an apartment while having access to stunning views, concierge services, and more.
