As of 4 Oct 2026, DooAsset lists 65 condos for rent at more than 15,000 and up to 20,000 baht a month within 800 m of a BTS or MRT station. The median rent is 18,000 baht and the median size 33 sqm; 61 are one-bedroom and 4 are two-bedroom units. MRT Huai Khwang, Phra Ram 9 and BTS Phra Khanong have the most, each about 8 minutes or less from Asok by train.

## How 15,000–20,000 baht differs from 15,000 baht

Compared with units at 15,000 baht or less (median 13,000 baht, 28 sqm), paying about 5,000 baht more a month gets you two things:

- **About 5 sqm more space**: the median size is 33 sqm.
- **A more central location**: the units move from Bang Na–On Nut to Huai Khwang, Rama 9 and Phra Khanong.

As of 4 Oct 2026 this band has **65 units** within 800 m of a station, with a median rent of **18,000 baht**, the cheapest at 15,500 baht, and 4 two-bedroom units.

## Tips for this budget

- Compare **rent per sqm**, not just rent: a 35-sqm unit at 17,500 baht can be better value than a 28-sqm unit at 16,000 baht.
- Ask about the **minimum lease**. Every DooAsset listing that states one says 12 months; if you need less, ask before the viewing.
- Units in the same building differ by floor, view and furniture. Open the building page to see every available unit in it.
