Sure long term rental of a non swimming pool place is much more doable... But dont think of May as too low season as that will be end of high season and over Song Gran.. Though with the way town is looking now it may well be quiet.

Ask Nicke or Gier for 'Marcels' number (I used to have it but went into a pool with my phone !!! 3rd camera phone in 2 months !!)... He has 1 bed apartments off Nanai for about 12 - 15k per month with pool and resturant.. I know he has a 2 or 3 bed one alos.. 3 Bed one could probably do you and would be under budget..

Also ask at the Andaman hills estate.. Big nice super clean townhouses for 30 - 45 depending on house, furniture, etc.. These are up on the hill and have superb vews etc.. Nearly lived in one long term (in fact nearly bought one) but its a 'nice' quiet area / complex and I keep anti social hours and am noisy so figured I would let them off the hook from long term me !!!

I would say a 4 bedroom house short term may not be easy to arrange over the net.. Houses tend to get rented less through agents and more through word of mouth.. Also when you move into a 15k or so house you invariably need to paint, furnish, fix etc a fair bit so its not really comparable.. The kind of thing you want (big house not too pricey or luxury) is the kind of thing a landlord is less likely to be looking at short term or monthly rents.

You could try explaining your needs to Baan Suan Villa (up on mountain rd / 50 Pee Rd) they have apartments (I think 2 bed ones) and pool etc.. Perhaps 2 x 2 bed apartments with them ??? Good view.. Friendly place.. Rooms not the absolute best last time I saw them (to be fair a while back)...

Never tried using them but I know the Andaman hill hotel (Nanai Rd) has some suites (multi bedrooms) on the top floor.. Tried to book them long term for a buddy but they were being renovated at that time.. Perhaps that could be an option ???

Should also mention again 'The residence' on Kalim... sounds very close to ideal.

PM me if you start to struggle.
