From a European Tenant — “Leaving Lisbon Was Hard. Living Here Isn’t.”

I used to think I had it good in Portugal. But over time, prices went up, apartments got tighter, and my work-from-home routine started feeling more like house arrest. Between inflation, grey skies, and endless queues, I felt like I was working just to stay afloat.

Then a friend — a French guy I met on a Zoom call — mentioned Bangkok.

He said, “Come here. You won’t believe what you get for €1,000.”

I wasn’t convinced… until I saw this unit at Ideo Sukhumvit 93.

Two bedrooms. Top floor. Skyline views. Pools. Gym. Sauna. A real kitchen. All for less than what I paid for a one-bed in Lisbon’s old town — and it came with smart TVs, a proper mattress, even cutlery.

I signed the lease before I landed.

Now, I live on the 36th floor, above the noise, but still in the middle of everything. Morning coffee on the balcony has replaced my freezing 6 a.m. tram rides. I hit the gym or the pool before work. I’m cooking more (the kitchen has proper gear), and my Zoom background is now a skyline, not a sad bookshelf.

But it’s more than what’s in the apartment. It’s how the city moves. It’s energy, but gentle. It’s people who smile. It’s getting a full-body massage for less than €10, then eating handmade noodles in a laneway for €2.

My mental health has improved. I feel rested. I feel free.

Even my rent includes gym and pool — back in Berlin, I was paying €70/month just for a fitness pass.

This place — this unit — gave me space. Physically, emotionally, financially. I never imagined a brand-new chapter could start on floor 36 of a Bangkok condo, but here we are.

If you're sitting somewhere in Milan, or Dublin, or Paris — trying to figure out how to stretch one salary into a life — I’ll say this:

Come. Rent this place. And exhale.

“I Was Built for the Brave Ones Who Start Over”

I’ve seen the sunrise bathe Bangkok in gold. I’ve watched storms roll in over towers, and fireworks bloom over rivers. I’m not just walls and furniture. I’m perspective — lifted 36 floors above the city’s chaos, where clarity lives.

I wasn’t made to impress with marble and chandeliers. I was made to serve. To hold you through transitions. To give freelancers a break from the grind, couples a space to reconnect, or individuals the room to rediscover joy.

My master bedroom is a quiet world of its own — wide, airy, with soft light and a skyline view to greet every morning. My second bedroom? A blank canvas. An office. A guest room. A dream incubator. I adapt to you.

My kitchen is small but mighty — MEX cooktop, full fridge, microwave, kettle, plates, pans, tools. Cook Thai. Cook French. Cook memories.

I have cabinets in places you didn’t expect. I have double glazing so the city doesn’t steal your peace. I have air that circulates and light that flatters. I have bathtubs for unhurried nights and closets ready for a lighter wardrobe.

I share my rooftop with birds. I share my pool with morning risers. I wait patiently between chapters, for the next soul bold enough to leave the familiar for something warmer, simpler, and better.

And now, I wait for you.

If you’ve been dreaming of more — more room, more time, more joy — I’m ready. My key is digital. My promise is real.

Come stand at my balcony and breathe in a new kind of freedom.
