Most landlords here will let you lease a place for 6 months as a minimum. Most have no problem with renting to foreigners. I had to pay a deposit of two months rent and one month rent in advance.
If possible try to avoid English-speaking property agents as they charge a premium. The best approach, at least in this country, is to drive around with a native speaker and spot 'For rent' signs.
- stevenwei 14y agoAre you on a tourist visa? How are you managing to stay for 6 months?
- drpancake 14y agoYep, a double entry tourist visa. It's probably the largest drawback of being here as I have to leave the country after three months and come back; this literally involves taking a bus to the Burma/Laos border, walking across a bridge then walking straight back to the bus. There are ways round it though. If you take a 'Learn Thai' course at an accredited institution you get a year long visa. A little more expensive though.
