Hey,

I shall be arriving in Bangkok at the beginning of November for a CELTA course.

A Thai friend of mine has put me in contact with another friend who has details of an appartment/s I may be able to rent.

Appealing as this is, I was wondering if anyone had any info or experiences as regards renting in Bangkok/Thailand.

i.e Is it hard to do?
What sort of credentials do you need?
I will initially be on a tourist visa for my course, would this be a problem?
What are deposits etc. like?

I am very interested in the idea, as it would mean being able to save a fair amount, rather than forking out for a hotel/hostel room.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone with any inside info.

Ta

M
