That’s very fair. Working on vacation is accurate. I didn’t think it would be this hard to find an affordable place to stay that also had room for 2 people to work from! I guess I should’ve done more research before booking my flights.

Where would I find this? Airbnb or another site?

Maybe not luxurious but I'm seeing some apartments claim to be rented for $400/month on YouTube. Yet something similar is $100/night in Airbnb. The disparity is astounding.

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?
