I think it was a fair end to this story, compensate for the discount rate you got for long term rent althought you had to pay additional 6000 baht, but now you are trouble free.

With that in mind, Thais can be upset if you "promise" something and then break it, this is true for both TG and in business. I nowadays always use the word "maybe" or "probably" to make clear that what I say is not a "promise" or an "agreement". Regarding houses I would not sign up for one year in any case, try to negiotiate a monthly or 3 monthly fee instead, in case you get trouble of any kind and want to move. (E.g. Problem with water supply, noicy neighbours, no phonelines available, stalkers...)

I am sure you will enjoy your new home...
