To rent or to buy?

[poshglasgow]

For those flirting with the idea of moving to Thailand for retirement, what would be the advice of members when it comes to arranging accommodation? Negotiate a long-term deal with a favourite hotel? Buy an apartment/bungalow or rent a condo? Buying, I suspect, is the riskiest option by virtue of the capital invested unless one could rely on selling it esaily. Renting a hotel suite (bedroom, living room, bathroom) would alleviate the concerns over cleaning, utility bills etc.
Over to you! What do you think? Ex-pat SGT members living in Thailand, what arrangement would you recommend?
