Cottages for Rent without Intermediaries
Renting a cottage in Thailand (Phuket) without intermediaries is a fairly frequent request among foreign tourists. As a rule, people who want to visit the island for the first time and are not familiar with the local specifics want to rent a cottage in Phuket, Thailand.
Of course, on such an abundant real estate market as the Phuket market, there are cottages of the type to which Europeans are accustomed. There are even cottage communities but they are usually used for living, not for a vacation. Renting a cottage in Phuket is quite expensive, taking into account that there is a small garden or outbuildings such as a veranda or an equipped barbecue area rented along with the building.
To clarify, what is the difference between the concept “cottage for rent in Phuket” and “villa for rent in Phuket”? As understood by Thais, if a house or surrounding area has a pool, this type of property is called a villa, even if the house is an adobe hut with a bamboo roof.
The request “cottage for rent in Phuket” means renting a house without a pool but with any number of bedrooms. Please note that in Thailand, the number of bedrooms is counted, not the number of rooms as there can be more than twenty rooms in the cottage. It makes more sense to pay attention to the total area rather than the number of bedrooms.
Rental Cost and Benefits
First of all, the rental cost will depend on the area where you are going to rent cottages in Thailand, distance from the sea, rental period (long-term or short-term), and tourist season. An additional factor when intending to rent cottages in Thailand will be the fact whether you took advantage of early booking or not (it provides discounts and various benefits).
Best Regions of Phuket
You can rent a cottage in Phuket in any area of the island. However, choose wisely. Patong is suitable for lovers of vibrant nightlife with restaurants located almost on the beach.
