salt and stone is stocked in Sephora here (love it too!)

You can get pretty much anything here honestly.

Even a lot of the western brands for things like haircare/cosmetics etc you can get most of them from Sephora or online these days and if not, there are some excellent Thai brands.

All basic essential toiletries you can get anywhere from the likes of 7-11 etc.

You might be more likely to get more responses in other groups like backpacker/travelling groups that aren’t dedicated to the DTV Visa such as this one too. Hope that helps 🙏🏼

Either go directly to the building you want to rent in and ask reception - they usually do anything from month to month up to 12 month contracts.

Or just use Facebook marketplace when searching for places.

There’s no legal requirement to become a ‘real estate agent’ here, anyone can do it. Hence why you couldn’t find much about them/their company.

The ‘reservation fee’ I believe is the agents commission but is usually paid for by the landlord, and it often equal to 1 months rent. You shouldn’t have paid for that 🤷🏼‍♀️ but glad you got your condo sorted.
