The apartments around Bang Na (E13) and Bearing station (E14) offer the cheapest selling and renting prices and these stations are a 28min ride from Siam central station away.
Apartments located close to the newest BTS extension on Bangkok Thonburi side, Talat Phlu (S10), Wutthakat (S11), Bang Wa (S12), are with a trip time of about 23 min only a little bit closer to Siam station, but the prices are already significant higher.
Well connected and still affordable rents /prices are found around Mo Chit Station (N8), with a connection to the MRT (subway) and only 14min distance to Siam central station.
A not expected phenomena are the condos and apartments close to Victory Monument station (N3), quite central located (only a 6 min. ride to Siam) and still surprisingly low rents and selling prices.
