Hi everybody,
Please excuse the newbie nature of my post, I am just seeking some general guidance and will be thankful for any you can provide.
I am looking to be in CM from May 2015 for a period of 2 and a half months. I will be travelling alone, so my first challenge will be meeting like-minded adventurers (I will be working during my time there too).
I've had a think about my budget and think 12,000 Baht/month is reasonable for a furnished room/studio that is centrally located. The main things I'm looking for is easy access to Wifi and, if not in town, then with good transport links nearby. After reading plenty of stories online, I don't think I'll be hiring a scooter! I'd also like a small kitchenette if possible, and would definitely appreciate aircon as I'll be there over the summer months.
My main question is - how many of you were in a similar situation, and what did you do? I've thought about booking a hotel for 5 nights and then looking when I get over there, would that be advisable? What are my chances of securing a condo for 2.5 months? Can I house share?
Thanks in advance - ANY advice, positive or otherwise, is welcome
