Recommendations for renting a house

[Dean1953]

My house is just outside Bosang and is a 4 bedroom, 3 bath teak house on on rai. My family and I moved to the U.S. In late 2008, leaving the house in the care of my wife's friend (my wife pays her $150 to stay there and clean the inside and cut the grass). I run ads daily on Thailand Craigslist and occasionally here and have an inquiry about every 6 month but no renters. Up to now, my wife has been opposed to renting it. I suppose for the same reason that Thais don't buy existing houses. Having to spend $4,000 on replacing one side of the exterior wall I think has convinced her that renting may not be a bad idea. I am coming over May 21-June 10 and will get the wall replaced (it may not be done before I leave but I will see that it is deep enough and that water is drained away from it and have a friend that lives next door oversee the finish), the water heaters in the bathroom showers replaced and finally hire a gardener to take care of the grounds (2 years ago, several members here gave me names of gardeners in the area that I will have my Thai friend call to see if they are interested). That leaves renting the house. A sign in front of the house won't do much good as we are outside of town on a dead end road. I can list it but the company that came to the house 2 years ago hasn't ever contacted me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Do the automatic sprinklers work?

Yes, the controls are next to the wall being torn down but that shouldn't affect the sprinklers.
