I saw one shoebox condo in Bangkok that was so ridiculously tight, the sofa was right next to the stove,and the TV was so close you could almost touch the screen.. Great thing to be able to cook dinner while relaxing on the sofa

The best way to make the most of a small living space is to rent more than 3 blocks away from BTS/MRT stations. Same price, bigger space. I fail to see the economy in "living" in an apartment that requires you to eat anything more complicated than ramen at a restaurant or street vendor's stall. Don't get me wrong, I've lived on boats where the usable living area was 20-23 sq.m but that space was designed to be lived in not just some random volume filled up with normal furniture and appliances. I had complete kitchens, fully functional work areas, storage, dining, sleeping and relaxing space. These 28-30 sq.m boxes that have no thought given to living are just outside the realm of plausible.
