Apartments southern Thailand, Phuket, Samui, Phangnga, Krabi

are plenty and quite inexpensive. Mainly in the urban areas going for around baht 3500,- and upwards for a single room apartment with air-condition.

A little lower are apartments without air-condition, usually with fan. Since it is always very noisy in such places it is really necessary to check carefully. It is nothing uncommon that some local people turn up the radio full power or whatever until 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning and consider you as a real enemy if you say something.

Check the water, very often during the month without rain there is a shortage of water and the owner has to buy water by the truckload. Since they always buy the cheapest, they naturally get the worst, that means polluted water on a level you wont see normally, that leads to all kind of problems including infections if you have some scratches or so.

Check the mosquito issue, many places have a lot and the local people just don't care about it. Since sometimes there is a outbreak of dengue fever and other mosquito born problems (but mainly in northern Thailand) its really advisable to check.

Naturally you should also have a careful look into the traffic situation around when you select a apartment. The worst time usually is in the morning when the kids are rushed to school and around 4 - 5pm when the kids are picked up from the school.

In most towns there are some agents who help you to have a look for an apartment or go to the internet and check for particular apartments southern Thailand, Phuket, Samui, Phangnga, Krabi
