I'd also like it to be convenient to get to the airport as we'd be taking a lot of trips. Maybe 30 minutes to the airport.

Let's just assume that the budget for accommodations (family of 4) was up to $2000 (US) per month.
For $2000 USD (or ~65,000 THB) you'd be able to rent a very nice furnished multi-bedroom apt near a BTS station with some money to spare.
