rogerdee123 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I'm looking for a reasonably priced 1-2 bedroom house (near the beach of course) with kitchen for renting for approximately 8-10 weeks. Any beach (or rocky shore) would be OK as long as relatively quite and also secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any beach (or rocky shore) would be OK as long as relatively quite and also secure. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have just returned from Samui and the building boom there seems to have provided abundant rental accomodation, 'for rent' signs everywhere, I therefore think you are likely to get a better deal by staying in a beach bungalow for a couple of nights on arrival get your bearings and negotiate a deal on the spot rather than pay up front etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katyb Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Yes, that makes sense, Mr Spacebass. We found the same thing earlier on in the year - just after the tsunami when apparently Ko Samui was 'packed' with overspill from the Andaman coast. It quite clearly wasn't and we had no trouble getting a lovely house near the beach for 9000 baht month. We found the best approach was to find the area that you like best, look for a cluster of bungalows together - and if you like them, go to the nearest bar / resturant / internet shop and ask who owns them. (It will probably be the 'family' of the establishment you are standing in). Ours was basic, but brand new, spotless and in a superb spot. If you want to know more about our house, please feel free to PM me. (Not prepared to announce publicly where it is - it's a secret!) Good luck Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParrotHead Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Great 2- 3 bedroom houses in Lamai, just by the river, 5 min walk to dead center Lamai. Very quiet at night. Fully furnished, UVC (satalight TV)if wanted, hot water, lots of space, AC, a GREAT landlord... the place is supurb! A bit pricey at 16000 B /MO 2 bedroom, 20000 B/ MO 3 bedroom, but worth it. We didn't even have to buy a spoon- includes everything, from a (rare in THailand) gas oven to an electric rice cooker, etc... The place is called "Hawaii Village" and is home to many successful Ko Samui expats. Tel: 01-979-2066, 077-418072 Ask for Lawrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
last resort Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Not only is the Hawaii village not remotly Hawaiin, it is highly over priced and the houses resemble the inside of a hospital. Forget it. Look else where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
