Formally, the list of documents is as follows: Tabian ban (extract from the USRN) ID of the owner (the same name d. b. in tabian ban - checked by Google translator) Contract in English and Thai Annex to the contract indicating the cost of water and electricity and meter readings at the time of check-in. Receipts for payment. Photo of counters at the time of check-in. You must understand that you will be asked for a deposit. This is usually 1 month payment. The deposit is non-refundable if you find another accommodation and decide to leave the contract. Well, or break something inside, for example, a bed or a TV. The deposit will be returned to you at the end of the contract or if you decide to evict earlier (extremely unlikely). It is possible that you will give money to someone who rented the house initially and is now retaking it from x2. They will show you copies of some documents in Thai and say yes

Make sure that there are no roosters near the house)) well, it would probably be nice to have a house on legs, they are better blown and there is less humidity (from personal experience)
