I own a condo in one of the Top 10 cities on the planet.

 

Yes, Chinese are buying in Bangkok, but these are poor Chinese "investors", nothing like in UK, US, Australia or Canada where there are actually numerous advantages for Chinese investors to actually be buying, such as.....

 

1. Land ownership

2. Permanent residency and citizenship

3. Access to great healthcare in which 3 out of 4 countries mentioned above is absolutely free

4. Access to some of the best schools on the planet

5. Clean air

6. Quality construction - security and pride of ownership.

 

 

Thailand can't even dream to compete with any of that. 

 

I don't think there will be a crash in Thailand or Bangkok unless there is a major worldwide recession, but boy oh boy do you love to dream. You must be really invested here and it's hitting a nerve a bit, eh?

 

Dream? snap out of it the Chinese are all over expensive real estate in BKK . try reading the news !!

Who do you think is driving the EXPLOSION in condo prices. Poor Chinese? ????????

cant make this stuff up. Do yourself a favor and do some due diligence..

17000 sounds a bit much doesnt it?

I stay in a 2 room condo with furniture, internet, water, electricity included.

 

The place has a gym, swimming pool and washing machines. Close to the MRT. 

 

For 13000 baht.

 

 

You dont know where he lived. Big difference from Asoke rent lower sukhimvit compared to the last MRT. You can easy pay 25k for The latest development 3 mins from the Asoke BTS. Its all relative. The biggest attraction when reading rental ads are the words "close to BTS , MRT" which in nearly all cases is not close at all but a 15 to 20 min walk

JUST DONT BUY TCL TV ! 

I bought one TCL TV  last year and there was a problem with the Bluetooth connection. It was never solved.

I send numerous mails and phone many times  to the TCL after sales service during this past year.

They never send a technician to my home (my TV is big) and don’t even bother to reply me anymore.

So 5 years guarantee is just a pure lie. 

Dont buy these TCL TV it’s my advice !

Same here, the audio out at the back doesn't work . Emails go unanswered , I guess they figure nobody is going the hire a van to transport these big tvs to their workshop. TCL are cheap for a reason

Depends where you live. Pattaya has pharmacists that will sell no problem in Fact until recently I was buying 1000 tablet container for 3700 baht from a pharmacy on beach rd but was able to wean my self off them a month ago .

Not Emporium area, but in my area (Nana) rental prices have gone down drastically from a couple of years ago, and those units that don't lower their price simply remain vacant. It's just market forces:

1. Too many condos built in the area too fast, and they keep building more.

2. General economic slowdown, so people aren't willing to spend as much as they used to.

3. Less foreigners in general due to visa issues, political instability, and crackdowns on nightlife and street vendors.

4. Airbnb becoming "officially" illegal and most condos enforcing it. Many of the units in central Bangkok had people renting them and putting them up on Airbnb - so essentially tourists were pumping up the price of rentals - this doesn't happen so much anymore so all those units got dumped on the market. Funny enough owners were the ones who objected to Airbnb the most (renters don't care much), but it's owners who get hurt when rental prices go down.

Firstly Air BNb is not illegal so your due diligence is woeful, get your facts straight if you want credibility

The studios in my Asoke building have gone from 20k to 25k /month in the last 3 years. I also rent my place 78sqm for 45k/month on air bnb when I travel to Europe every year for 3 months. it NEVER fails to get a 2 or 3 month rental . Ive had many request for 6 months to 12 rental on Air BNB but not interested

Ah I see.  The food courts,  frequented mostly by Thais,  are a prime example of the rental market collapse in Bangkok, the rental market for high end mainly being foreigners ?   LOL. 

 

 By the way you stated 'every day" so guess you eat in Siam Paragon as well as T21 every day in the food court.  A hungry chappy indeed.  ????   And by the way, nothing to do with being a smarty pants just questioning the veracity of your statements which appear to be lacking any sound data on the rental market collapse.

OP based his 'sound  data" on his ONE EMPTY condo. And your supporting that theory ..1 condo = BKK rental collapse . Are you not embarrassed?

You cant make this stuff up ????????????

Well, I can only feel sorry for you if you spend 7 days a week continuously in Siam Paragon or T21 that would enable you to make an informed comment on the foot fall in those 2 malls.  Of course if you do not spend 7 days a week in those 2 malls then readers will consider your comments accordingly.   Happy shopping.  ????

No need to be a smarty pants

I dine in their food courts . Im a 5 minute walk from T21

So yes my feedback is reliable

ok but never been this sort of widespread expansion of MRT and BTS lines before around BKK

and to building another mass of unneeded condos all around every station.

 

and on top of that theres all the shopping centres, and those "park" style shopping centres going up on everywhere and none of them have customers!!

 

you tell me, how can it go on? lol

 

investors and banks want their money back you know!

 

i tell you, it will be the straw that break the camels back!!

There are 1.386 billion people in China. Only need a small % to continue snapping up Condos in BKK like they are now. 15 years from now they would have pushed the price up to Hong Kong levels. In fact The Q condo at Nana Bts is already at Hong Kong levels..(1 to 5 mill usa dollars) It can go on indefinitely is your answer. !!!

Dont know where you live but T21 Asoke is packed wall to wall every day with Chinese and japs. Same with Siam Paragon

I have only ever lived in a box in the sky once, many years ago in Bangkok, not for me, I like windows that open onto the garden, watching the garden change with the seasons, having doors i can walk directly outside through to my own pool, having a car in the garage and lots of space for office, bedrooms, living rooms, kitchen, a dining room - enough? ????

You miss out on stunning sea views all the way to koh larn and a fresh see breeze on the balcony. Dont even need AC when open the front door door  behind a security screen, fully maintained pool, gym and shops and restaurants inside the complex.
