Do you/would you rent in shared accommodation?

[banagan]

Just wondering if anyone currently is renting in shared accommodation.

 

I'm considering buying at some point, and see some nice 2 bed condo's. 

 

I've always shared in the west with no issues, just wondering how popular it is here. Are there any popular resources to see shared rental ads?

Had a roommate once when I was in my 20s....never ever ever again. Ever.

I didn't share in super expensive Toronto when I was renting, I certainly would never share in Thailand with so many scumbagz living here.

Accounting on bills, sharing refrigerator or bathroom?  Makes zero sense, but they are advertised on FB groups...probably a good way to Not immerse yourself in Thai Culture.

Lots of weirdos on these forums and you want to live with one?

I gave you a "Like" and moved on.....then suddenly thought "Hang on".... I am sharing already with " she who must be obeyed"....bad sign.

Aren't there a lot of other people not on these forums that one might live with?

Well, if you share with, "she who must be obeyed" then, that is a separate problem. I don't like to sleep alone, so I have always shared accommodation. Since I also prefer a woman who contributes to the relationship; we share the expenses.

People share accommodation in the West to reduce their cost of living. Here, it's not necessary for most falangs.

Having said that, many Thais share accommodation, for the same reason.

What! In Thailand, you must be joking. Please tell where it is possible to find Thai women in Thailand who will keep us warm in our beds at night and shares the expenses?

You, like so many others, must know only women of limited capability. In any country, if you have a woman who is capable and does have a decent job, she can contribute to the relationship. However, if you pick women whose only contribution to the relationship is sex; well, then that is another story.

Thai girls seem happy 4 or 5 to a room.

Sure, thai men.. Good luck with that.

Flat mates are something you have when you're younger.

 

 Sometimes it works out well but other times its a real PITA.

 

 As Im now older and perhaps more set in my ways, there is no way in hell I'd want to go through that again.

 

Sure there are probably opportunities out there in order to save some money with shared accommodation but I prefer piece of mind (security wise) and my own space to as I want when I want.

 

That may apply to say a 3 or 4 level townhouse where people have their own floor....then you don't end up tripping over each other.

 

Each to their own.  But I'll stick to my space with the missus any day...don't need to babysit anyone else...?
