Looking to Rent a House

Hi Jade,

Some recently aquired info, and I bet a lot of you don't know this! You know the Yellow/blue metered cabs always hanging out near central bus station, well twice my customers have used them and each time they arrive at the door and the meter reads 100bt and that's what they pay, now that ain't bad for an AC cab ride, we should all start using them then the company will expand, we phoned them the other night at 9:30pm and the lady had to wake to answer the phone, she simply told us they'd finished for the night- yeah needs more customers for sure.

Jade do you think David would be happy actually riding a sam-laaw during your 5months, the reason I ask, many of the sam-laaw builders/sellers offer a guaranteed cash back on their vehicles, they're only 55k to buy, however they may even have a newish one in stock (say 45-50k) you could then see what terms they would agree on a cash back in 5 months??? Sam-laaws are a little nerving to drive at first but after an hour or two it becomes second nature, they also top out at 50kph, and drive on fresh air (or so it seems).

I looked at the FBI website and found only 2 houses that were not already rented out, but they both looked promising. Are there any other reliable real estate people/companies that you know of?

Also, we don't have a vehicle but may buy a scooter or something, so what are the advantages/disadvantages of living right in the city vs. outside the city a bit? I've never been to Udon (or anywhere in the Isaan) so it's hard to imagine.

thanks...

You could try UDPROPERTY a new real estate agency in the centre of town owned and run by two very nice Thai girls (Nid & Kung) who speak perfect English.

We've been looking online for a house to rent in Udon but have had a hard time finding much of anything. We're looking for 2-3 BR, not too far from the city center. Where's the best place to look? Does anyone know of anything? Our range is around 10K/mo.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
