There was real-estate companies in Surin but unsure they still exist. Suggest you tour the area to find where you would like to live, then pop into the local Mom-n-pop shops, who usually seem to know whats going on in their area. May be better to get a Thai to do the enquiring as sometimes the infamous "farang prices" come to play.

We do visit the area often as my wife's family lives some 12 kilometers from Sangkha, however at 78 years old I find the drive somewhat tedious. And to get said family to do some searching is indeed a challenging task, great folk, but to get them to ask questions and provide logical answers is as I am sure many of us know an interesting past time.  Perhaps time to spend time with family and do our own research, Tried researching property sourcing companies in Surin, sad to say results were about as useful as a chocolate fireguard, However, DILLIGAD many thanks for your comment and getting me to throw off my lethargic shirt and kick start the old grey matter,

Have you considered somewhere around Ubon, as that's not too far from Sangkha and lots more amenities than other alternatives? They even have condo's that a foreigner can buy/own outright.

Sangkha is approx 160kms from Ubon. Hardly " not too far".

One road all the way (Highway 24). Sometimes it's good to be not too near to the outlaws!

From your own experience, I would agree.

Thanks for all the advice and information to date, going to go to the family home some 12 kilometres from Sangkha and use it as a base  to see if we can find what we want.
