In Bangkok you could stay at my apartment/hotel for, I think, about 7,000 THB a month plus water and electricity. Bed, desk, TV and what not are provided. I expect you can find all around this price in Bangkok. On the islands you can get a decent vacation rental house for around 10,000 THB I believe. If you don’t mind a bungalow, there’s a great long term stay resort in lamai that’s 6,000 THB a month where you get your own hut with UBC (the best cable) and everything (besides net) included. Samui’s going to be the only island with reasonable net access (DSL) and even there it’s spotty, but the IT Complex has wireless repeater towers up all over the island so you can hit a wifi DSL connection in most of the island cities (Bo Phut, Lamai, Chaweng) for, I think, $30(ish) USD a month.

The variations between rental prices are huge. You can easily pay western prices in both locales, or you can get a place for 6,500 THB a month inclusive of utilities, gym, hot water, power, and all the goodies (TV, fridge, and internet) in what is considered a studio apartment here. This is what I’ll be staying in, although I’ll be in the suburbs, and I’ll have a place on the first floor with a private garden. For 6,500 THB a month, all inclusive. I’ll be living in the suburbs (a very nice, affluent one) right next to the uni I will be studying at. Your Mileage May Vary, and be aware that farangs will not get the same price as a Thai person. I think that for 8,000 baht a month you should have no trouble finding a very decent apartment. You may want to spring for that extra $100 a month because you find something you like better that has a gym or pool or some location you prefer. As I have said before, it’s more or less best just to pound the pavement and ask around once here. The places that advertise on the internet are more or less doing so for farang benefit which means a shitty price. DO NOT worry about finding housing here…. it’s pretty damned plentiful everywhere, and cheap to boot. You honestly would be fine showing up, getting a hotel room, staying there for three days and in the process find a sweet place.

Pattaya cinema halls are decorated in Thai style and have incorporated advanced music arrangements. They like to play films loud and keep air-conditioning in powerful mode. This latest temperature inside the old cinema halls is quite cold.
