Phuket la Siesta

The villa was very nice as the pictures, and very convenient. Just only 200m from 7-11 and have lots of restaurants and cafe nearby. The overall is very good.

Very noisy place. It’s a closed off estate, with 10 or 15 individual houses with pools. All managed and owned by one owner. I rented a house there for 5 months from November 2021 til end of March 22. When I came to see the house for the first time, the owner told me: “ it’s very quiet”, and “ all the houses in the estate are long term rentals…”. It was all a big lie. She was happy to tell me whatever she needed, to pocket one month and a half rent plus 2 months deposit (a total of 65,000 thb of advance rent and 90,000 deposit, then 45,000 rent each month after that) The very day after I moved there, huge party next door with very loud music, I called the police, and in the days that followed I found out 90% of the houses in the whole estate are all rented short term or very short term, to people who come for week ends or short holidays, and are very noisy. I had a horrible feeling of having been scammed. In the 5 months that followed I was confronted with loud parties, loud music, drunken pool parties until 3 am, and no tranquility whatsoever. This landlord will stop at nothing to lie to people and scam them . On top of everything , the whole place is surrounded by noisy and busy roads, you hear the noise all day and all night, with motorcyclists going so fast like there is no speed limit. Impossible to rest properly. It was so bad that end of March, after 4 and a half months, I HAD to move out. You think I got my two months deposit back? Think again. I went to see a lawyer and a police officer to complain about how I was lied to and how I was swindled. Result? NOBODY was interested. Perhaps if I were Thai, they WOULD be interested. All we are to them, is white people good to be scammed. Walk away. A lot of better, cheaper, and much quieter places elsewhere in Rawai . 45,000 THB a month for a house surrounded by constant noise and disturbance? EXTORTIONATE
