counrikke Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hi there, I thought this would be the perfect place to ask as i've asked questions before and got wonderful responses. I am looking to spend 2-3 months in thailand, seeing thailand etc just relaxing and nothing specific. I was wondering, are people on tourist visas able to rent a condo for some time? I'm looking to stay in Chiang Mai. Thanks ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Can't see why not. But you will need to give a deposit of maybe two months, as is normal. Financially you will need to take that into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 The only thing you need to decide is location and cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

counrikke Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 so I shouldn't really have a problem? Are there any other requirements? I mean, other then my visa? passport? anything like that? Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 There is normally a security deposit equivalent to one months rent, plus two or three months rent in advance (depends on the condo owner). Any damages, outstanding electric bills etc will be deducted from the security deposited before you get it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counrikke Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 sounds good. I've heard people say 200 USD $ is probably a safe bet for a monthly fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetaroi Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Are you talking about a condo or a serviced apartment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johndpoole Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I was just told as non-thais can buy condos. Is this true? Does the not owning land not apply to owning a condo and does one even need a visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 The law stated that owning land is not allowed, it says nothing about owning a condo and that you can indeed own. But in a condo complex there must be a majority of Thais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in a condo complex there must be a majority of Thais I thought the Thais have to own the majority of floor space, which is not the same? Also, I understand that certain unscrupulous Thais have flogged condos to farang when they aren't supposed to, so you need a lawyer as well?
