How do I find a place to live in Krabi?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Krabi involves several steps. First, you need to decide on the type of accommodation you want. This could range from a simple apartment to a luxurious villa. Next, you should determine your budget. The cost of living in Krabi is generally lower than in Western countries, but the prices can vary greatly depending on the location and type of accommodation. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms where you can find listings for rentals in Krabi, such as Airbnb, Booking.com, and Agoda. These websites allow you to filter your search based on your preferences and they provide photos and reviews of the properties. Another option is to use a local real estate agent. They can help you navigate the local market and negotiate the lease agreement. You can find them by doing a simple online search or by asking for recommendations from expats who already live in Krabi. Visiting the area in person before making a decision is highly recommended. This will give you a better feel for the neighborhood and the property. Finally, once you've found a place you like, you'll need to sign a lease agreement. Make sure to read it carefully and understand all the terms and conditions before signing. Remember, finding a place to live in a foreign country can be challenging, but with patience and careful planning, you can find a great place to live in Krabi," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Krabi.
