4 bedrooms seviced villa short term is a bit rough at that price... If you want (serviced) villa quality (baan suan kamnan / baan suan villa / baan kataree / etc)) look at that weekly.. If not look at residence Kalim 30k monthly x 2 would only be a little over budget but great 2 beds and nice pool etc (before the waves)..

In general, apartments are easy, studio apartments are peanuts.. luxury is hard to find and costs a load.. EG I recently decided to pass, but a long term (multi year) lease on a 3 bed seaview villa on the back of the bay was haggled down to 70k per month !! I know of 2 x 2 bedroom places (not the same either) where owners will consider nothing lower than 55 - 60k for one year rentals (both homes have private pools).. Houses with private pools command insane prices in Patong !!

Before anyone wishes to debate this too hard I have been looking for a 2 bed plus office and pool (or 3 bed and pool) house in Patong for > 2 years and am involved in the property market.. If you know of a house in Patong or Kalim with any of these features (40 - 50k max) please dont argue just PM me and let me know (thats long term rates.. 3 years or so on contract)..

The same property on Samui would be 25 - 30k rental and 4 - 5 mil purchase v 80k rental and 15 mil on Phuket !!!
