Real estate agencies
There
are many real estate agencies throughout Thailand; some are members of
the Thai Real Estate
Association or the Real Estate Broker Association.
Make sure that fees do not have to be paid until they have found a suitable
property. Most fees are paid by the landlord and not the tenant.
Signs and bulletins
One
of the best ways to find a house or an apartment in Thailand is to simply
pinpoint an area and drive around looking at signs on buildings. The signs are
usually handwritten in English with a telephone number posted prominently on
them.
Bulletins
for rental properties are often posted at major grocery and department stores.
Types of Property
There
are plenty of furnished rooms, apartments, condominiums and houses for rent in
Thailand. The majority of rental rooms have a bed, television, wardrobe and
many come with a refrigerator. Some have a fully equipped kitchen.
It is
relatively easy to find a fully furnished house although they tend to be more
expensive. Many landlords will be willing to provide basic furnishings on request,
including a rice cooker, a refrigerator, and a bed. However, those planning to stay
for more than a year or so may find it works out cheaper to buy the furnishings
they need and rent a less expensive, unfurnished property.
