Cheap Thai style apartment/room needed in Surin

hi all

I'm looking to send my girl to Surin for 3-4 months while she attends collage. Shes looking for some cheap accommodation , if anyone knows the area quite well , or has any recommendations that would be great ..

we have been offered one apartment , 1800B a month for just a room , no bed or TV in this room .... which seems a bit much to me.

anyone in surin , can you help ?

thanks

Majestic Apartments is a cheap one if I remember correctly. Try Google i think there is a website even.

Quite the reasonable value for long-term, as well.

I hear Phumarin Hotel is very good too and a lot newer.

You guys are missing the fact he asked for a Thai style apartment. Majestic is what? 6,000 Baht a month plus utilities? Not exactly in the price range of most Isan girls attending college in the city.

OP, there are a lot of Thai style apartments around, pretty easy to locate.

The newest ones I know of are nearing completion on the canal road, in fact there are quite a few on that road and down the many soi which lead off it, that's a good place to start looking.

Good point, CW!

Would not a wander around Rajaphat Surin or Rajamangala Surin lead one to Thai style accomodation or talking to other students who rent should lead to a positive outcome. Should be lots around B1,500 per month

thanks for all the replies

my mate lives in surin town center ..... hes been to alot of apartments round the collage area, they all seem to be full.

hes managed to find her one on the other side of town, which is 2000b a month with bed wardrobe and fan , no fridge or TV , and the electric is 7b a unit.

im not sure if hes searched in the Canal road area , ill tell him to look, i know what he well say ... wheres canal road, hes lived in the village for a long time,hes new to surin town center.

could anyone do a link to a map or something pointing out where canal road is please. I'm guessing its that really long road next to canal that runs through surin , but you never know in Thailand

thanks

I think The Orchid is a bit over budget for the OP but I have heard good things about it from a few people. Got any pics?

6-7Baht a unit is the norm for most apartments. I have a thai style apartment in town that I use as a getaway from the village for a couple of days a week, that's even 7Baht a unit, written into the contract, the same contract all my Thai neighbours have so its not just an example of overpricing for farang. Daylight robbery when they are buying it in at around 4Baht a unit. My guess is a lot of these places never bother to have the electricity supply switched down from construction rate.

Bedbandit, looking for a room and thinks 1,800 is too much........maybe Bedbugs would be a better name .......will ask the sis in law to look but what college is she going to???......no point in having a cheap room only to pay extra on Song Taews/Taxis

did not take any pics.. but everything is new in the room.

the only bad thing about the apartment is, you will be able to hear the noise from the corridor.
