June through August I'm going to up in Isan, in Surin actually. I needed some info on whether I could get an apartment or something similar instead of staying in a hotel. The cheap hotel I stayed in last time was 320 baht a night which comes out to about 10,000 baht a month. I figured I could save some baht if I payed monthly. Is it hard to find an apartment up in the northeast? Any info would be great, like comparisons on apartment prices.

Thanks a lot!

(PS)

Is renting a motorbike in Surin out of the question? I never got around to checking last time I was there.

There are some new furnished apartments just completed in the centre of Surin. One room plus shower/toilet. Not very large, about the size of a hotel room. Aircon/cable TV and telephone included. Bht 3,500 a month.

The owner of the Farang Connection rents out motorbikes at Bht 200 a day, Bht 1,200 a week, monthly rates negotiable.
