Is this website legit?

People seem to be saying thailand is more expensive and scoff at people trying to live under 1000 usd budget because airbnb is expensive and whatnot.

But this website seems to have pretty decent apartments in bkk and chiang mai for 5000-8000 baht a month?

Is there a catch? Could someone chime in who has good or bad experience with the website? Why are most people defaulting to airbnb or hotels, if this website has such reasonable prices?

Thank you, hopefully youre having a good day :)

    I used Renthub during my stay in Thailand, specifically in Chiang Mai. It’s indeed legit and offers a variety of apartment options at reasonable prices. The listings I found ranged from basic to quite luxurious, all within a budget-friendly range. The reason many people default to Airbnb or hotels might be due to convenience and the short-term nature of their stays. Renthub is more suited for longer-term rentals and requires a bit more commitment, like signing a lease, which might not be ideal for everyone.
    In my experience, the process was smooth. I managed to find a nice place for around 7,000 baht per month, which was quite a steal compared to Airbnb prices. The key is to be thorough in your search and communicate clearly with the landlords. Also, for shorter stays or while searching for a rental, I found Rebookify helpful for hotel bookings. They often have good deals, especially in popular areas like Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Hope this helps, and enjoy your time in Thailand!
