Best deals for 1 month rental of house in Krabi/Phuket or similar areas?
I've been doing a few weeks of research regarding this but have yet to come up with anything that I feel satisfied with. I'll be in Thailand from about March 20th to April 20th. I need a house/bungalow with a minimum of:
* hot water
* WIFI or ADSL
* 1 bedroom at least
* fully furnished
* kitchen
* a pool would be sweet!
* not too terribly far from the food markets, etc.
Please suggest some good areas for this. Preferably in places that are less of a hooker haven as I want to relax and recuperate.
It'll be mainly me staying alone for most of the time, with a friend joining me for five days during their travels.
Please don't suggest the crazily priced villas that the agents are touting. I'm willing to look at villas, but not for the prices they are being advertised for through the online agents.
If anybody has got some realistic suggestions, especially the expats or other long term residents of these areas, I'd much appreciate it :-
Of course lots of trees/greenery/vegetation would be absolutely perfect. Also need a TV for nights I'll be staying in. The main aim here is privacy and decent facilities so I don't have to spend too much time in throngs of tourists 24/7.
I'm open to other suggestions regarding locations in the Southern areas as well.

Guess The Thalassa Village Resort in Rawai/Nai Harn (South of Phuket) would be perfect. Lush garden with swimmingpool,nice bungalows but not crazy expensive, quiet and not far fm shops,beaches etc.
