M Apartments in Korat

It says something very positive about an apartment building if many of the people living are regular visitors, as is the case with M Apartments, with some residents coming back for several years running.

It is easy to see why M is so popular for this 5 storey complex neatly proves the fact that in Thailand it can often make more sense to stay in an “apartment” than a hotel, both for economic reasons and for added comfort.

For starters, M has the advantage of being centrally located and yet peaceful. It is situated well back from a small side street but is still only a minute away from one of Korat’s key junctions, making it easy to reach the best shopping, bazaars, wats and attractions, including the lovely Bung Ta Lua lake (where M runs a major Korat resort called Pang Runjee).

At the same time M provides ample parking with good security, some lovely gardens, and a major open air seating area (above) – which one regular refers to as his “living room”.

There are a wide variety of rooms available, all with balconies (some very large) on both the north and south sides of the building, as well as penthouse accommodation on the 6th floor.

All the rooms are furnished with a large double bed or twin beds, air conditioning, a mini-bar, wifi internet, TV with satellite Cable Channels, hot water, direct IDD phone, and a safe key card system.

There is also a small shop with a multitude of useful items, a chamber maid and laundry service backed up by friendly, English-speaking staff.?

Rates start from 400 Baht per night or 4,000 Baht monthly.
