very few condos on Samui...almost none. If you want that, try Phuket

As far as I know. No Condo's in Samui.

So what's an apartment ?

something you rent.

OK then the OP is looking for somewhere to rent for 7 months.So what's a condo then? A glorified apartment?

i believe a condominium and appartment are the same exept the fact the condominium has a license to allow foreigner to buy in their names(limited to 49% of available appartments)

On Samui almost every expat and long termer lives in a house. That can be everything from a cheaper wooden bungalow to a 1.000m2 villa with a 180 degrees sea view.

Apartments can be bought/rented too. But not many Farangs do that. Some modern apartment buildings are in the Laem Din area/Chaweng.

in condos each unit has its own title deed and can therefore be bought/owned (of course that owner could then rent it if they like) but an apartment building has one owner, the individual units do not have titles, therefore each apartment unit can only ever be rented out by the apartment building owner.

Not recommended unless you like loud music from "the Peak" club next doors until 2 AM.

Please PM me- I have details/ website. We have 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom fully furnished suites at the condo, 2 pools, gym, sauna and steam rooms, free internet.

My friend has a 3 bedroom 4 bathroom villa with pool in a very nice private development in Maenam. He would consider a long-term rental - please PM me for details.
