In Thailand there are two ways to remove housing - either contact the real estate office, and you will pick up the appropriate option there until you find the desired. Or search for yourself, circling surroundings. It is believed that the second option is much larger - because you communicate with the owner directly, without giving the percentage of intermediaries.
... almost half months our day began equally: we woke up early in the morning and went to search for housing. Now I know such reserved corners on Phuket, about the existence of which even local residents are not suspected! However, apparently, the mediators also visited all these corners. Because when we called by calling on the houses, we still ... got to the same realty. And increasingly - speaking including in Russian. So, it seems, the second option - the search for housing itself - goes into oblivion.
In a picturesque garden surrounding our house, the husband has equipped its own corner "Golden Hands" ...
In short, at some point I realized that if you still, we still communicate with intermediaries, it is already no sense to spend the precious clock on a journey through the island. We called everything at the same agency, which turned to arrival, issued their own list of wishes and already the next day we went to "see".
... In the photos "Dream House" I did not like at all. In addition, the sequisite was conquered next to him: "It's in a descriptive place." If the Realter initially warns about it, see it hidden this housing in some global hole, away from all the benefits of civilization. But just in case, they decided to see and this house - since we will still go around the whole south of the island.
... at some point we have already decided not to look for this "labor-in place." Even the realtor himself, who, as it turned out, has concluded a contract with the owner only a day and the house saw only in the photo, desperate. We drove into some lanes, called the owner, unfolded and drove into another place. So far, finally, did not get. And I understood why finding this dwelling is not easy. Yes, because the usual person can not come to mind to look for a house with a house ... on the territory of the Buddhist temple and the monastery.
... And the son made his first steps.
No, of course, it turned out later that the temple remains a little behind. But it looks like that we live right in the monastery. Cheerful place ... And when I explain to Thai now, how to drive to our house ("entrance to the temple and the first home to the right), they are respectfully inclined in the bow.
... And then I saw the garden to whom our future house is surrounded. And the gazebo hidden in this garden. And the rooms themselves decorated with a dark teak tree. And I realized that he would not go anywhere from here. Let we break a little from our budget (the house turned out to be more expensive for almost $ 300 of our application), let in one of the bedrooms there are no bed (and other furniture, actually too), we all decided with the whole family: we remain!
