If you are planning on spending more than a few weeks in Thailand, renting a house can save you money.<\/p>\n
Houses tend to be bigger and better equipped than hotel rooms, and are generally amongst Thai communities, which gets you closer to the Thai people.<\/p>\n
A small, 1 bedroom house in a tourist area such as Phuket or Ko Samui will cost from around THB7,000 per month. The house is likely to be furnished, with at least a bed, some furniture, cable TV and a sofa or some Thai wooden seating. <\/p>\n
Kichen facilities are rarely more than plates, bowls and spoons.<\/p>\n
Cheap properties right next to the beach generally cost THB10,000.<\/p>\n
2 bedroom properties start from around THB10,000.<\/p>\n
Spending just a little more can get you quite a lot more.<\/p>\n
For THB15,000 to THB20,000 you can find a very well furnished and equipped apartment or villa in any area of Thailand. You can expect AirCon, WiFi and cooking facilities.<\/p>\n
If you stay away from tourist areas you can pay as little as TBH4,000 per month.<\/p>\n
\nMost properties will have electricty and water meters. The meter will be read at the end of the month, or your stay, and you will be sent the bill.\n<\/p>\n
\nA typical house, with AirCon running overnight in 1 bedroom, fridge and TV during the day will cost THB1,500 per month for electricity, and another THB500 per month for water.<\/p>\n
You can pay the bills at any 7 Eleven store.<\/p>\n
Tip: Always read the meter with the landlord, so there is no confusion over the amount to pay.<\/p>\n
