Hi all firstly thanks for letting me join, hope to be able to contribute at some stage ok a request for some info, am looking to retire to thailand possibly middle of next year, we are looking at phuket to go to and rent a house/bungalow on a long term basis, we are due to go there again this year in november and plan on looking at areas and properties for the first week of our hols, can anyone give us some contact details of estate agents around patong that we can contact to view/discuss properties, will start at this one but have no doubt that we will need a lot more information before committing

thanks in advance for any help

I suggest you rent a car or a bike and wander round the varous areas looking for signs saying For Rent.

Do you have a Thai friend who can help you with the language barrier?

Many locals will not be dealing with agents.

If you can give us details of the size of house you want, and budget,

other members may be able to guide you.

hi astral

thanks for your reply, we intend to get a car and drive around, was hoping for estate agents to get some feel of property sizes and inside layout with rent costs to get any idea of size/area/cost ratios

we are thinking around the kathu area or poss patong

not have any thai friends to ask yet, but do know that a lot of rent without agents. this is more fact finding at the moment

we would prefer at least 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms would be nice, a bungalow if possible, garden(have a dog we are taking) off road parking, fully furnished, western kitchen(with oven)

those are our main requirements looking at a budget around 20,000 baht a month
