Renting, Vietnam, Thailand
I am thinking of renting a house for a three - six month period. Using
this as a base to travel to Vietnam, China and other bits of Asia. Some Q's if anyone can help. 1. Where would be a well connected but interesting place. i.e not a large city but not the middle of nowhere either. Needs an airport but local would do. Train and road should also be reasonable. 2. How much ($) should I expect as a monthly two bed flat rental in a reasonable area? Any other tips or web addresses welcome. Just post here as others might find it a useful thread. |

Hanoi would seem to fit the requirements perfectly. A city, but a small one and plenty to see and do. It’s also pretty close to China and of course has bus, plane, train stations. Renting somewhere to live in Hanoi is not difficult. Sure it takes a bit of your time but there are plenty of places out there. Price wise, in a decent part of the city, for a 2 bedroom house with garden, fully furnished, cable TV, hot water etc. you are looking at around $300 a month. If you’re looking for something cheaper then word of mouth is the best way. Just start asking everyone you bump into. I did and was surprised at the amount of feedback I got. At the other end of the scale, if you fancy a old refurbished French Villa looking out onto one of Hanoi’s many lakes you’ll find it…and pay for it. Two popular estate agents are E homes, located on the bottom floor of Hanoi Towers and Action Real Estate at 32 Hai Ba Trung. The only problem you may have is the length of your stay, most people and agencies like to rent for a year but money talks and I‘m sure with a bit of effort you’ll find what you are after.

Cheers fot the info. The problem with Vietnam is the Visa. I am in the UK and can only get 1 month visa. Looking into useing Thailand as a base instead. -- Martin Harris |
