jezchesters Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Hi! Firstly, let me say that I have found this section of the forum immensely informative - so much so that my partner and I want to relocate to the area... Secondly, I have searched the forum to make sure that I am not repeating other's questions... Thirdly, having been in Thailand on and off since 1996, I know of the basic pitfalls involved with renting proprty here... My question is this (apologies again if answers to this question have been posted elsewhere): I know how things are done in Bangkok and Samui, but how do you go about doing it in this area, and thus arriving at a ballpark, benchmark rental figure? For example, I've looked into the Hua Hin Today website, and to be honest, the prices being charged their would make a Bangkok Estate Agent blush... Other prices from different forums sound like the Sale of the Century, but posters are reticent about naming names... I guess its the same the world over - you really need to get to know an area well before you can really get a feel for it, but I would really, really, greatfully appreciate any advice whatsoever on this matter... Thanks a million in advance! Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 You may find it worth you while (and $$$) to hire a Thai agent to do some inquiries for you. While my wife and I were looking at properties up north we often noticed a disparity between the prices in the Thai language ads, and those specificly targeted at westerners. Personally, I won't even deal with anyone in Thailand that advertises in US$. If you or your partner read Thai, or have a friend who does, have a quick comparison between the Thai newspapers and english language papers' ads. cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
