The first two were full, basically they won't take in monthly renters because its high season soon and rather take on people for a couple of days because they make more money. Finally we went to another place this guy knew and it was the biggest and nicest one I saw and for me, reasonably priced at 15K/month.
If they're refusing monthly renters it's because you're looking at places that get a steady stream of foreigners, which means prices will always be higher. If you keep looking, you can get a nice full-furnished condo for 10K bhat per month - that's in a farang-friendly building with maid service and pool.
I just talked with another buddy yesterday who is renting a 2 bedroom house for $5K. Can't emphasize enough what shopping around can do for you.
Even if you have the money to spend, make sure you're getting your $15K worth. No sense in spending $5K more than you need to. I've seen some at $10K that were pretty luxury.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
