I知 looking for something more than a basic hotel room. A kitchen, small living room type area, and some basic furnishings are really what I want. I知 not looking to wander around getting electricity turned on, TV service, or buying / renting furniture / linens / kitchen stuff. Things like a small balcony, pool, and internet access nice but we could manage without. Location is important, and I would like to be within walking distance of the beach and your various essential stores and such. I知 looking for Kata or Karon areas. Price is less a factor, but I知 wanting to keep something like this under 40K/month-ish. Guest friendly not an issue, since it痴 an extended honeymoon. Does such a beast exist, or am I just managing to look in all the wrong places?
The other half of the question is this: assuming a two month term starting in mid-February, would it be possible to come in and find something then, or will everything most likely be booked up? Spending a week in a hotel while looking is no problem. I壇 just rather be able to see the place first if possible.
My timing is flexible, and may go longer depending on how badly I need to get back to earning...  |
Hey Zokok, good to see you back on the forum again. I got posted to Najaf since the last time we spoke. Looks like you are going to be in Phuket the same time I am. I am arriving 2/12 and staying for about a month. If you are interested in going out for a beer with my fiance and I (we are getting engaged while I am there), give me a shout on here before you go.
Check out the "House for Rent?" thread in here. I was basically asking the same question, then kind of got off into more the high end villas, but there are quite a few links on there that the fellow BMs posted for me regarding rentals, check it out and see if there is anything you like.
Later,
Tom
