What is meant by the villa

When you inform the intermediary or acquaintances thatlooking for a villa, it should be understood what is meant by this word in Thailand. Usually this is a luxurious two- or three-storey house, it always has a large garden, but in Phuket you can be offered a fairly simple villa: a small two-storey house with a living room, a couple of bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen. Usually the villa has a courtyard with a garden and a swimming pool.

Three ways to rent a villa

There are three generally accepted ways,Allowing to rent a good home in Phuket. The first is an appeal to a realtor. On the island there are many Russian-speaking companies that act as intermediaries between local owners and visiting compatriots who want to have a good rest. Agree with such realtors you can still at home, choosing a villa on the Internet. You can discuss everything that you would like to know, specify in advance all the points, even draw up a contract. The disadvantage of the method is only one: as in Russia, Russian realtors in Phuket take a commission in the amount of a monthly payment. If you come for 2-3 months, then such a commission may seem not too pleasant. The second way is to search in Thai newspapers and on local websites. To do this, it is useful to know English, it is not superfluous to have a friend in Thailand who will translate some ads in Thai. The fact is that not all Thais, who rent housing, speak English. The third way is independent searches on the spot. When you have just arrived in Phuket, then to begin with, settle in the hotel, and then go to the area that you like. If the house is rented, then a sign hangs on it, so you will just have to walk around and look for such offers, making calls to these phones. It is best to rent a motorbike or a car, you can negotiate with a local taxi driver (mototaxi will cost less) to help you. The taxi driver, on occasion, can act as an interpreter, which is also very convenient.

Arrangement of the contract and some trivia

Carefully read the contract. It is desirable that it was compiled in English so that you can understand everything there. It happens that in addition you have to pay for electricity, telephone, water, cleaning of the territory, garbage disposal and other services, together with which the total cost of the villa varies greatly. Please note whether the settlement in which you live is protected. Unfortunately, thefts in Phuket are not uncommon. Also find out if there is an internet connection to the house. Various trifles, such as the availability of a gazebo, deckchairs, trees giving a shadow, as well as the infrastructure near the villa: all this is also important.
