Although I work in Bangkok, I'm considering a month out of the city to concentrate on a certain task at hand. I've been considering renting a condo in or near Chaweng to combine work with a surrounding more pleasant and less distracting than Bangkok. Any locals down there who could share with me a realistic indication of how much a studio apartment with air conditioning would go for down there for a 1 month rental by a foreigner?

Thanks for your help.

We don't really have condos here. You should have no problem finding a one-bedroom house for 10,000-12,000 baht a month. See if this thread helps

Not sure I'd say Chaweng is less distracting you might want to try a more isolated part of the island if you are truly looking for less distracting.
