Why are there so few rentals on the mainland? Is it that Thais dont advertise, or that people only rent on islands? I have been looking for 6 weeks holiday, from mid feb, but very little joy. Maybe its because I want three bedrooms minimum and everywhere seems to be 1 or 2 bed. But its difficult.

Which area are you looking at, on the main land?

Surat Thani, Nakho Si Thammarat, not a big fan of the beach, so inland is fine.

 

Thanks

 

Probably because there is little foreign tourist demand for inland Surat Thani or Nakhon Si Thammarat. They are unlikely to be advertised or available on main booking sites (such as AirBnB or Booking dot Com or similar). Local knowledge may find something. If you do search coastal such as Sichon or Khanom, then there is a good chance of finding something I suspect.
