I’ve been living in Bangkok for 5 years now and am looking for my next apartment. I’ve been living in the same apartment for 5 years (magnolias waterfront) and am looking at these massive apartments and townhouses that are 240-280sqm and located in older buildings.

Anyone done the same and what do I need to watch out for? Like do I need to worry about the pipes, insects, noise, etc? In my previous apartment, we had concierge and everything was within warranty so the apartment complex would fix things. I’ve heard some horror stories about the pipes but I never had an issue at my place - we installed a water filter on the sink and the shower and baths never made anyone sick. But that’s in a new building.
