I'm moving apartment in about 4-5 weeks so I was wondering what was on offer.Firstly how much are you paying , where is it, what is the web site for it/tel number, does it have a pool or other facilities etc. Secondly I would like any web sites for CHEAP apartments.

When I say cheap ....I am paying 3900 with air con, medium sized room with falang toilet and its quite a small apartment block on sathupradit in Yannawa with friendly people. 026821800

Any info would be great....especially is your payin under 4000 baht per month(swimming pool is a big concideration!!). :ghostface:

Hi and thanks for the replies. The value of the house is between 1 and 1.5 million baht(to be discussed) and includes 12 computers as the groung floor is an established internet cafe down a quiet soi. I think this is so cheap that I dont want to miss out! I'm from England and I know the advice about buying in my own country is good but the 1.5 million baht is all that I have. Also the chances of me getting more than a pile of bricks on an old council estate in England for this money are very slim. Also the internet cafe would provide me with a small income aswell. If there is any more advice out there I would appreciate it.

Hey wolf5370...... if you could give me some more info from the people you know who have done this or maybe put me in touch with them I would realy appreiate it.....and the property is second hand.

Hi all. This is my first post so please go easy on me.

I'm very interested in buying a townhouse and NOT a condo.Now i've looked on the internet for a long long time and most things point to me not being able to so..... or so I thought! I have just got back from talking to property/lawyer company who can arrange for me to buy a home under a business name(my business name) which they will arrange for me at a cost. They are situated in a very nice(expensive) place and they do not seem to be the type of people wanting to rip me off..?

This is what they sugest(very basic as I chatted to them for about 2 hours)......what do you think?.. :-

1) Set up my own company under my name- 40% mine and 60% thai (to 6 other people each only owning 10% each), leaving me the majority share holder(the other 6 people are needed to create a thai company...so im told)

2) The 6 people then sign the shares over to me again so they have nothing to do with the company but i don't register them in my name just keep them safe somewhere.

3) Buy the property under the thai company and get my girlfriend / friend to pay me rent for either the house or the ground floor(thus being the purpose of my company...to collect the rent)

4) etc etc

or so im told..

Like I said I'm keeping it brief!

What do you make of this and have you ever heard of this happening before.If yes do you know of anybody who can do it for me at a competative rate.If no do you have any more suggestions on how to own my own property?

Many thanks in advance.

p.s. sorry for posting this in 2 places but was not sure where best to post.
