balo Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Monthly you can rent for 2000 and up. But if he only stays for 2 months it will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes my wife has been renting a room for 2000 + utilities, but this sort of accommodation you can find from word of mouth only I think. They don't tend to advertise online.

reenatinnakor Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 He should be able to find a Thai apartment or room for about 2k to 4k a month. No floor no furniture shared bathroom. He'll have to look on the non touristy streets or ask a Thai person. Some of the bar girls and motorbike guys should know. Likewise a bar manager may knowI called reception and requested a room with no floor once. They just left me hanging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of old guys just nursing one drink in a barbeer and watching the world go by. In the old days when the promenade had seats he could have sat and watched the world go by for free. Great if you're 95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbolino Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Perhaps a google search might give places that are cheap have you never thought of this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divide by the number of days you are out and then just spend that. I know, off topic. Sorry. The voice of reason. Sat in a bar with a few under the belt, the brain moves below the belt and reason goes out the window. To many it is a one off opportunity for the experience of a lifetime. Instead of trying to find cheap accommodation he should be looking to see if he can use the money to bring his flight forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the biggest problems with these cheap monthly accommodation places is the rates they charge for electric and water. They will charge around double the government rate for electric, so that once the month is up, you find out it is not so cheap at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can rent a Thai apt. for between 2 and 3 (or 4) K a month. Soi Buakow is a very long Soi with loads of Sois off it. So for the OPs sake maybe you should be a little more specific.

Henryford Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Why doesn't he rent by the month, some quite nice places for 9-10,000 a month, 300 a day like R-Con Hotel Soi Buakhao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
