Bangkok - east-southeastern suburbs
Bang Na, Sri Nakharin,
Sukhumvit 101 area
Large numbers of expats find little niches to live in the Bang Na and Samut Prakan region.
Advantages:
Access to businesses near the Bang Na expressway, Samut Prakarn, other seaside industrial areas east of Bangkok
More economical house and business rentals
Less crowded than the CBD
There are some very nice housing estates, golf courses, shopping malls and other conveniences in this region.
If you have a car, then it's a good location because there is an expressway going into the central business district, as well as Bang Na Trat going to the eastern seaboard, and the eastern ring road going north.
Many of the homes here have spacious yards. Below is a photo of the back yard of a house in the region. The fence is up against a nice lake (not pictured). Note also the small guest house/room on the side. Some yards with pools have their own separate entertainment house furnished in a variety of ways.

The Bang Na region is a favorite for Lakeside property neighborhoods.

Disadvantages of this region:
Fewer options in public transport to central Bangkok, no skytrain or subway yet
Traffic and distance to other places in Bangkok
Lower expat population density than CBD. Many expat families, but not concentrated like in the CBD.
The housing estates in the Bang Na region are more hidden than usual in the Bangkok region. Driving down the main road, you can drive right past the entrance road to the housing estates without knowing it. They are often half a kilometer or more down a side street off the main road, hidden behind the businesses facade along the main road. You drive down a soi and suddenly there is a guard gate and it opens up into a beautiful, quiet and spacious housing estate.
kkBkk has a list of properties in the Bang Na, Samut Prakarn, and Bang Pli (Bang Plee) region.
Please note: At a given time, many houses known to be for rent or sale are not listed because no photos have been prepared and uploaded (commissions are lower for rentals, and there are so many rentals). If the above houses are the kind of thing you are looking for, then please contact a real estate agent at www.kkBkk.com who will ask you what you are looking for and match unlisted homes to your interests. An agent can save you a lot of time and find the best home for you.
People who are interested in homes in the Bang Na region are usually those working in industrial operations in the Samut Prakarn and Bang Na region, or in Chonburi. This includes the Bangplee Industrial Estate and the Bangpoo Industrial Estate.
