Long Term Rental

[GaryATK]

Hi all,

 

My family and I are about to move to Koh Samui.  Would you recommend any real estate or websites to find a long term let property?  The ones I have found so far are all holiday prices and we're looking for something a bit more reasonable.

 

Thanks in advance

How about this website, plenty members offers long term rentals, what part of the island are you looking at? 

 

What is your budget, how many rooms, swimming pool?

Yes, as @PoorSucker says, what is your budget..?

 

There are plenty of possibilities – ranging from around 10,000 baht a month up to what's out-of-reach for "normal" folks like me (yes, I consider myself within that range, however only when it's about money to spend) – many of the possibilities you might not find on the Internet, but only by looking around in various areas of interest.

 

How big, i.e. number of bedrooms; what comfort do you expect, i.e. pool and European kitchen, etc.; location, i.e. for example sea view or beachfront, or close to shopping center, or distance to nursery or school if you have child/children; a fully serviced house; etc. etc.?

 

When planning a "move to Koh Samui", I would invest in an investigation trip – talk from experience – and check various areas and prices for rentals. All over the island you'll find nice bungalows and villas for rent, also long term, they'll normally have a sign "For rent" outside. Area check is also (very) important – also for places of interest you found on a website or at Airbnb – so you don't end up with a long term lease, you cannot easily terminate, in a completely wrong area for your life-style; i.e. noise, transportation distance, flooding in rainy season, etc. etc.

 

With a little more information, I'm sure numerous local forum-members will be happy to advise you where to look, either in Cyberspace, or in real-life...?
