I think many condos, particularly older, highly occupied are less likely to have Airbnb, than newer condo with many investors, but low occupancy rates.

You'd be better checking how many units in condo are occupied by owner or long term tenant rather that whether they accept airbnb or not. 

Most long term tenants and owners will raise complaint against airbnb and you'd be surprised how many condo management enforce this. We had a few obvious airbnb arrivals and it was stamped out immediately.

Stand outside Hyde Sukhumvit 11 or Vtara Suk 36 for a couple of hours and you'll see what an airbnb condo looks like (before/after COVID).

So to answer your question, yes it is enforced and no it is not enforced.

Good afternoon.

Am just moving back into Bangkok from Phuket. 

I've always been a buyer rather than a renter, after the recent sale of my condo, I am looking to purchase a small unit in central Bangkok.

Do any of these board members have experience of living in or owning property in Waterford Diamond in central Sukhumvit?

I am liking the location, and the size to value VS some of the newer buildings in the area.

Would appreciate any constructive input.

Expected as much.

There were some people milling about at the entrance last week.

I'll try to decipher some Thai and hand gestures for some info.

How could one discover how a vacant land plot next door to a condo is planned for use as?

Some planning department details maybe?

Help a brother out.

in my quest to make a stew I need Pearl Barly and Atora Suet.

Any ideas along Sukhumvit line?

Already tried Villa Market at Phrom Phong, Tesco Lotus Onnut and Gormet Market Emporium.

Thanks!

Thanks.

I'll look into Marsden Building Society and Al Rayan Bank. Seen Skipton also so they all could be worthwhile investigating.

is Uk mortgage/UK property.

Interatingly for Thai mortgages, looks like UOB will now offer direct mortgages with their Thai banks rather than the SG/HK Offshore bullshit. Might be for people who have stable employment in TH though.

cheers

UK or even non-uk guys taken UK mortgages while abroad?

Looking to invest in a small property, prob 150k GBP with 25% of value as deposit. Having issues with the banks. Some will not lend, others will only lend 250k+ mortgages.

Know more flexible lenders?

I wouldn't have paid up front for two of my girlfriends kids 5 year education at Bangkok Patana who then left me one month later.

Lower Suk is now filed to the brim as they've moved the Asoke crowd down that way to keep the intersection clear.

I simply stay away from lower Suk, Silom etc after 7 when the tourist crowds are kicking in. Works for me.
