Totally not working out.
Anybody has some tips? Getting annoying.
find a local girl to show you around, that was the only way i found ANY place under 15k per month, she actually found me an agent that didnt speak a word of english as well...
this was last year same time of year, lots of tourists make finding an inexensive place in samui dam near impossible, combined with the bkk riots (my dumass was walking around in a red shirt in the middle of them when i was in bkk) so russians flock to samui instead of bkk imo, there just arent many available places, i covered every f*cking inch of samui spending 5 ****ing days morning to evening with only a short break for lunch, but at least I know my way around the island and the real estate situation
fyi the thai price was 7k for an amazing high quality bungalow on the beach but 'farang pay 15k'
SW of lamai I found a brand new baller house on stilts for 12k per month, large, super nice house, large piece of land, beautiful view of field and ocean which was about 1/4 mile away
