HELP!!! The first time we fly to Thailand to Phuket. Where to rent cheap housing?
We will arrive on November 12, 2012 until December 1. We don't know anything at all. We will buy tickets from Bangkok to Phuket and back there. But renting a house is difficult. We are 3 adults - me, my husband and my girlfriend. Agree on a room with two beds. The main thing is that it is not expensive and not very far from the beach. And then I look at the prices in hotels and slowly slide down the chair to the bottom. Thank you in advance!!

What did you think? :) no more low prices - the time of the low season has passed. The lowest price for something normal (I am silent about something decent in general) starts from 2000 baht per day

I would not count on the fact that I will take tickets during the season, but upon arrival, for your dates there are more budget prices for two evening flights, look at airasia.com you can pay by card.

I agree, take tickets to Phuket and back right now, otherwise, upon arrival in Bangkok, you will see clearly not only from hotel prices: (((
What is your housing budget? Have you looked at www.sawadee.com?
There are mostly hotels, but different price categories. There are some other sites on guesthouses, I'll try to search now ...

Oh sure. The closer to departure, the more expensive it will be.

So look at tickets and accommodation not in Phuket (it’s more expensive there, but for example on Koh Samui) and plane tickets there

Look at apartments.com or flipkey.com for accommodation, these are booking-type systems but only for apartments, for your dates there is a choice from the most budgetary to luxurious. Better not pull because you are not the only one looking for housing. Good luck.

I can add http://www.hotelscombined.com and http://search.hotelresearch.ru. They are interesting because they compare the prices of different aggregators and you can immediately see the difference in price. Air tickets can be viewed at www.orient-thai.com. They differ from AirAsia in that you do not need to pay extra for luggage and meals.

I understand that Koh Samui is not Phuket. But why not consider it if you are going for the first time? I understand that if you were there and you want something new

In AirAsia you don't have to pay for food! You pay only for what you need. That's a plus!

In AirAsia, for your information, tickets a day or two before departure are more expensive than Thai Airways.
God forbid, they fly ...

Because:
- the road from Bangkok to Koh Samui will cost 2-3 times more than to Phuket
- November for Koh Samui - off-season
Koh Samui now has the highest incidence of dengue fever in Thailand

Air Asia is a normal airline, no "God forbid".
It is necessary to take tickets in advance, now 50 bucks, by the time of departure there will be already 100 and more.
So you won't announce the budget? How much per day do you expect for housing?

Less is better. We don't need a pool and breakfast. Just spend the night - that's all. The main thing - that would not sleep in a common room - for 10 people. I watched it - that there are bunk beds. Just a private room - with 2 beds.

And when is the season on Koh Samui? We just took it for the new year (at hotel prices several times less than in Phuket), maybe it’s not too late to rebook something else? And this fever? We hear for the first time

Do not panic:)
First, about fever: there is no vaccination against it, Thai doctors diagnose it quickly and well, but there is no medical treatment either. Treatment consists of bed rest and infusion of saline solution through droppers. You need to have normal insurance so that you don’t have to pay at the hospital on the spot, it’s very expensive.
The fever is carried by a certain type of diurnal mosquito, i.e. the main means of prevention - repellents, the more powerful - the better. This year, three of my friends, not Thais, visitors, have already been ill.
The classically good season is considered to be on Koh Samui from May to October, the best is from June to September. November is very rainy and stormy, March-April is suffocatingly hot and humid.
BUT! There are a lot of good reviews about winter Koh Samui, they write that there is little rainfall, clearly. The sea may not be very good, but not necessarily. I myself have not been in the winter.

And what does good insurance mean? That is, the standard one included in the tour is not enough?

I don't know what kind of insurance you have. You need to carefully read the terms of the insurance policy. There should be zero deductible and more coverage. You also need to subtract well what is considered an insured event, otherwise I once saw such insurance from Tez-Tour that it was just hair on end ... If you don’t like something in the insurance, you can go to the insurance company yourself and buy it yourself normal. it is not expensive. And in the case of Thailand, it justifies itself - the medicine there is very good, but expensive.

Those insurances that give TO basically cost $ 5-10 and have a minimum coverage of category A, which practically does not include anything, and insurance companies with dubious liability. I take insurance from ERV - European Travel Insurance, but the insurance is noticeably more expensive, but this is not that silly letter and a person has the right to choose which clinic he will be treated in. It’s better to take category B there, even a dentist is included (you never know) I take 50000t + 5000 + insurance luggage from an accident (this can also come in handy sometimes) if your luggage is lost, but for example, in the evening they found it and brought it to the hotel, then for every 2 hours of his absence, you have the right to turn in insurance checks for $ 200 for the purchase of things and essentials. I have not lost my luggage yet, but the cost of the suitcase that was killed on my last flight (I must immediately fix this fact before leaving the airport) was returned to me and very quickly.

Savages also need insurance. Do not regret 10-15 dollars for insurance to be calm. There you can "fly in" for a very decent amount easily - elementary poisoning with unfamiliar food, an allegory to a jellyfish burn, heat stroke out of habit, a cold from the air conditioner - they will help you quickly and expensively in the hospital :) And with insurance - for free.

You go to a normal insurance company in your city and ask for insurance without deductible and with good coverage to go on vacation to Thailand. I don’t know Russian insurance companies, you need to ask on Russian forums.
