You can find fan-only bungalows from around 6,000 to 8,000 baht a month – depending on season and personal preferences, fan can be all right, I stayed almost five years in a fan-only bungalow – aircon bungalows comes from around 10,000 baht a month.
Be aware of possible higher prices in high- and peak-season, i.e. Xmas-New Year and from January to mid April, plus July-August, when it's not a long term (all year) rent.
There are many areas with affordable bungalows close to beach – i.e. relative short walking distance from 100 meters to about 500 meters – cheapest might be Bang Por on the north coast that has both reasonable convenient store shopping and restaurants. Maenam, Bo Phut, Bang Rak, Plai Leam and Choengmon are other possibilities, but with more more tourists, which also means good shopping and restaurant facilities and slightly higher prices. Moving further inland in these areas, you will find lower prices. On the southern and western part of the island you might find little more affordable accommodation, but also fewer shopping and restaurant facilities, and a need to consider transportation.
Most bungalow resorts today have WiFi, the island has fiber from 1 Gb down and 200 Mb up. With a 5G WiFi-connection you can have excellent speed.
