Chulalongkorn University’s exchange page puts a dormitory at about 15,000 baht a month including electricity and water, while a partner-university factsheet lists the CU iHouse at 14,000 to 22,000 baht a month. This guide sets out those two sources and what I could not confirm about Bangkok.
Details come from Chulalongkorn University’s visiting-student page and Doshisha University’s 2026 Fall Chulalongkorn factsheet, checked on 22 October 2026. Neither source covers Bangkok’s other universities, and I found no verified private rent for Bangkok, so none is quoted.
What the sources say
| Item | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Dormitory, including electricity and water | About 15,000 baht a month | Chulalongkorn exchange page (living costs) |
| CU iHouse | 14,000 to 22,000 baht a month, depending on availability | Doshisha 2026 Fall factsheet |
| Total living costs including accommodation | Roughly 20,000 baht a month | Doshisha 2026 Fall factsheet |
| Landlord deposit | Typically 1 to 3 months’ rent, paid on move-in | Doshisha 2026 Fall factsheet |
The Chulalongkorn page does not say whether dormitory places are open to visiting students or give application dates. It tells students to contact their faculty or programme. The factsheet says nearby serviced apartments are offered if the iHouse is full, with no prices, and does not mention dormitories for exchange students. It lists rent as paid monthly in advance.
I have not ranked neighbourhoods or listed private blocks, because I could not verify prices or area details against reliable sources. View any place in person or on a live video call, get a written lease and never pay before you have one.
