3) Contact two brokers
If you are not very familiar in Bangkok, finding a house and the right location can be problematic. Then to find your house in Bangkok, regardless if you rent or buy, use a broker. Contact 2 brokers. They can show you around and show you different available properties. And when you are in contact with two brokers, neither of them can take your business for granted.
Brokers work more for the sellers than for you. The sellers pay their commissions. Less desirable property that is less in demand may pay them higher profits. Take the time to see what is available and do not settle for one of the first few houses that they show you.
