🛋️ Optional: Furniture Packages

Most developers offer furniture packages as an add-on:

  • 🪑 Basic package: ฿150,000–฿250,000 (studio/1BR)
  • 🛋 Premium package: ฿300,000+ (larger units)
  • Good option if you want a rental-ready unit

📌 Pro Tip:

Always ask for a unit specification sheet and confirm:

  • What’s included in your exact unit
  • Optional add-ons
  • Final payment schedule with taxes and transfer fees
