In this article, we will analyze a situation in which you decided to settle in Thailand for a long time, and maybe even, as all Russians do, to spend the winter. You are faced with the question of renting a house in Thailand, where to start and how to rent an apartment in Thailand, we will chew with you, well, in the process of this article I will give useful advice to all tourists for beginners on this issue.
What you need to know first about renting a home in Asia? I recommend that you refer to the sites for booking hotels and apartments, I can advise you to refer to the site Booking.com, you ask why this particular site? This site has the largest database of Asian countries, here you will find many options for your budget and length of stay.
The best hotels in Phuket according to the All inclusive system are selected in a separate material, the rating is based on reviews of tourists and estimates of independent sites.
What kind of accommodation in Thailand can I rent?
There are several types of accommodation that you should familiarize yourself with before looking for suitable options:
- Condo hotels
- Guesthouse
- Private
- Hotels that can be booked online on my website
So, what kind of housing to rent in Thailand? Let's start to figure it out! Condo hotels are somewhat reminiscent of hotels with separate payments for water and electricity. These are apartment buildings with small apartments, about 25 square meters. The prices for renting condo hotels are about the same, 3000 - 4500 baht for a regular accommodation, if you need an apartment with appliances and necessary furniture, then we count on 4500 - 6000 baht per month.
I won't tell you anything new about hotels, we take any hotel you like in Thailand when booking on my website and order online right now, I have done this many times, so all accommodation booking services here work one hundred percent. By the way, if you are interested in hotels in Phuket at affordable prices, then read my article about cheap hotels in Phuket.
As far as private accommodation is concerned, the further the option is from the city and infrastructure, the cheaper it will cost you. It is most profitable to rent private housing if you are going to stay in one place for at least three months. Renting private housing in Thailand will cost you about 7-13 thousand for a whole month, do not forget that such housing can be rented by a company, which is even more profitable.
Well, guesthouses, very small accommodation, usually located in the city center, I will say one thing, such accommodation is not entirely suitable for a long stay, most often this type of accommodation is used by tourists who need to spend the night due to long flights. The cost of booking a guesthouse will cost you about 300 - 500 baht per day, by the way, renting for a month will be cheaper than paying for a day.
Rental housing in Thailand
So, if you are going to the area of Phuket or other islands, then we are looking for private houses, it is much more profitable to book them here. If you decide to stay in the city, then a guesthouse or condo - hotels are at your service, and if you have already decided on the area of the city where you would like to stay, then we walk along the streets of this area and look for guesthouses here they are on every corner. When looking for accommodation, do not forget to anticipate cheap prices for excursions, food and other amenities.
We start looking for housing in the morning, by the evening renting housing in Thailand will become a more difficult problem, since housing is never empty here. By the way, the reception in the condo - hotels is open until 6 pm, keep in mind. If you know where to stay, but do not know how to get there, then I advise you to use GPS navigator maps, for the simple reason that houses in some areas do not have numbers, and streets do not have names, so the navigator is the rescue of a beginner - a tourist.
Choose condo - hotels where, by and large, the local population of Thailand lives, here the price will be much lower, but the interior will be a little worse if you take other hotels that foreigners choose, as a rule, prices are higher and much cleaner.

If you choose condo hotels through the site, which many tourists do, especially in the high season, then be prepared to be disappointed, the sites usually have very beautiful photos, but in fact the picture can be very different, several times already had to deal with smoky rooms and peeled wallpaper that just isn't in the photo, get ready.
Do not forget about the holidays, especially about the New Year in Thailand, during this period for a long time it is very difficult to find an apartment or a private shelter for a tourist, Thais are also businessmen and like to rent out apartments for rent, so it is more profitable for them, this warning applies especially to guesthouses and condo hotels ... As a way out, it is recommended to look for options as early as possible.
Well, that's all, it seems, renting a house in Thailand is no longer a problem for you, in general I will give one more little piece of advice, upon arrival on the first day, we sit on a moped and ride around all areas of Thailand where you would like to live, so there are many more options you can go around and see, rather than sit and stare at the monitor via the Internet. I'll explain a little more, the article is provided for those who are looking for budget accommodation, which is why I am not describing here a four-room apartment with two bathrooms for 65,000 baht in the heart of Bangkok.
And yet, do not forget to take a check, if you pay in advance for several months, I also recommend concluding a rental agreement, it can solve many problems that may arise from scratch.
As a bonus, we post a section that will tell you where to relax in Thailand, and solve the issue with prices when planning a vacation on the seashore with the whole family.
