jak2002003 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Having sold our house we are looking for a smaller house to rent until we decide on our next move. Whenever I search the net for rental houses I only get results from farang estate agent websites. I have tried typing in Thai but the same sites come up...also all info about the properties is written in English. I just want a basic small house with garden that is not on a gated housing estate. I can't believe that Thai people find their houses to rent off these English sites. Is it just a matter or word of mouth, or driving around looking for a sign on a house gate?

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted June 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2022 Even if you find a property which you like on a website that doesn't mean it is still available. It seems agents keep everything on websites to get new customers. And then: sorry mister, that is not available anymore, but I have something else for you... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak2002003 Posted June 21, 2022 Author Share Posted June 21, 2022 Thank guys. I don't have Facebook. I will have a drive around the area and keep a lookout for some signs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfaboy Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 It also helps sometimes if you stop- at a sign of a house you may not be interested in. Go out of your car, have a look and many times one of the neighbours will come to meet you for a talk. Lots of interesting info can be retrieved. Good luck.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanchon Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Had the same problem. I drove around in the area and asked people in local shops. Got a lot of interesting information. Found a house for rent and a plot to buy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a lot of interesting information. Found a house for rent and a plot to buy. Thanks. I am going to take this advise from the other posters and yourself. We are in limbo at the moment having to decide to stay here of go back to UK. Been here nearly 20 years. Like both countries to live and can't decide on our next adventure. Time running out as we both getting older. So we will rent for a year then decide if we want to build a new house here or buy a place in UK. Ideally we would do 50/50 between the 2 countries....but realistically that is not best option financially, and I have real fear of flying...plus we have 2 pet dogs which makes it more complicated. Thanks for all the help posters! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
