You can use Airbnb and set the minimum stay to 30 days, and if you do MTR or LTR then the tenant pays all the bills but you have to state that in your listing details and make the tenant aware from the beginning, then add a security deposit normally 2 months upfront,

If you are thinking to buy a apartment it has to be something unique, too many of these condo's are just like boxes nothing to give you the WOW factor. I have looked at a few units in Rawai, they do nothing for me, Another thing to consider is the size of the unit guest on airbnb like some space,

I don't have a one Farang friend I don't need them and don't want one, I have a great wife and fairly big family and they are all good to me never has one asked for money, quite the opposite when they come to visit us here in Phuket they never come empty handed.

Stopping Short Term Lets in a Condo Building. Any Tactics That Have Worked?
You can as a neighbour complain to Airbnb if that's where the guest are coming from, I guess it would be difficult to knw which platform they used there is so many, Did you take a look on Airbnb to see if units similar to your are listed?

I think here in this post we are talking about Russians in Phuket and Pattaya, I have been told from a well connected Thai it's even worse in Chiang Mai, but not just Russians also the Chinese, my friend told me they have built Chinese schools up there,

Agoda charges 51-80 % commission
It's a big problem with the OTA industry the price advertised is not always the price you pay, most of these sites allow the Host to add additional fee's and you as the guest are not aware until you book, To some of the major hotel groups it's what they call up selling check out some of the mad things they will charge extra for like Valet parking, In the last 12 months Airbnb have tried to address this problem so before you book you are aware of any additional fee's not added afterwards, The biggest problem I have seen over the year many guest do not read the full listing and what additional cost, such as cleaning fee, pet fee, electricity not included,
