GDP per capita in India is $1,900 per year. So for the average Indian this 50,000 baht trip is going to be nearly their entire earnings for the year. Of course it's a massive country filled with every level of income so I guess Thailand is banking on capturing those particular people.

Personally I am very much unimpressed by this house. No interesting features. Boring location with no views. No garden or landscaping. I would never guess this is the home of a wealthy person unless someone told me. Here's some more pictures of the area.

I'm looking around at land prices in Chiang Mai (outside the city in the NE parts) and there are plots up for sale everywhere but the prices are surprisingly high, at least 1 million per Rai. Not talking about in the city off big roads, just random plots around where I live. Do people who know the land market know if these prices are normal or is there something happening right now? For comparison here is 1.6 Rai in Columbia SC for $11,00 USD. A fraction of what you would pay in Chiang Mai. Not sure if these are comparable but still, the US land is much cheaper so it makes me wonder what's going on here. Is it really possible you can buy land in the US cheaper than in Chiang Mai?
