I will be DN’ing from Phuket in February for a week. This will be my first time working remotely so apologies for the amateur questions.

I’m looking for accommodations on Airbnb and to my surprise, daily rates are about $100/day for something decent. I always thought Thailand was super cheap. I’ve even seen some YouTube videos where people will claim they can live a luxurious lifestyle for $600/mo, all-in including accommodations, food, etc.

Is there something I’m missing here? Should I be booking somewhere else besides Airbnb?

    I got a great (rather luxurious) apartment for 13,000 bath/month on a year lease in Bangkok before prices went up again after covid restrictions relaxed

    That’s around $400/month
