good job he doesn't see my collection, and I do have a Buriram one for this season a friend ours got me one from the club shop,

so do Americans

many supporters here, even the old lady who has a shop in our soi has a United shirt

Thai people tell me they watch the PL as it's more exciting and they prefer to gamble on the PL so I'm told,

do they ever retire?

Thats a bummer

20,000 is the going rate, so im told

I hope the girl and the baby is ok, as usual we wont get to know the out come

even that is debatable, I know of a unit 2 bed was 12 million 5 years ago it's on the market now for 9 million and it's in good condition and a good project

The HOA is an American thing, if you are thinking about management fee's well they vary a lot, ours are about 3500 baht per month which I don't think is bad considering what we get and it is a high end project, as somebody has mentioned go and stay there for a couple of months, a lot will depend on the size of the unit you decide to buy, ours are 60sqm but I'm not sure I could live there full time although lots of people do, As for running a Airbnb remotely you wont make enough money to cover the cost of hiring a co-host/cleaner we are fortunate we only live 5 minutes away, let me tell you need a full team and electrician/plumber/A/C guy and Airbnb guest will expect it to be fixed now! In the past we have had other host ask to take care of their property, they have read our Airbnb profile and seen all the excellent reviews I have declined them all. Some projects do have a management team they will rent it out for you obviously at a cost, I know they have were we are, they are not shy 500 baht to change a light bulb,

same for us the price has remained the same coming up to 6 years

If you are buying a condo with a view to renting it out I suggest you take a look on Airbnb in that area you can search as a guest and you will get some idea of daily rates but also check their calendars to see if they have any bookings, don't forget if you decide to buy check with the juristic person the foreign freehold quota, and can you rent it out many condo's around Bangkok don't allow STR ie, Airbnb, Either way STR or LTR has it's pitfalls, a friend of ours has a identical apartment to ours and she decided to rent long term and the guest smuggled a cat in now that guest has gone she cant rent it our because of the smell, no amount of cleaning will get rid of it, she may have to take up the laminated floor, there's a thing to think about if you have pets will they be allowed on the project? in ours they are not allowed and they are strict about it, which suits me,

No problem

My experience of owning condo's if you think it will be a good investment forget it, come this October we will have had them for 6 years and I will be lucky to get my money back, the only saving grace they have been superb rental units, since covid we have been 95% occupancy right now it is slowing down I can tell by the amount of views we get, I know other owners have been trying to sell for 2 to 3 years,

Here in Phuket the re sale value of condos has not moved in the last 5 years, renting has been busy over the last 18 months, these projects keep on going up I guess the clocks ticking, I know of one 2 bed condo when new was 12 million baht I saw it advertised for sale at 9 million baht and they are nice units good construction on a well run project with 4 pools, I own a couple of 1 bedroom apartments in the same block it has been a good rental unit for the last 5 years if I was to sell I would be lucky to get my money back, seems like a few are for sale and they are hovering around the original sale price from 5 years ago,

I guess they cant start clearing the site as it is a crime scene, things here dont move to fast

Must be some truth in it, we received an email from airbnb the other day, Strong growth in Chinese outbound travel demand 爱彼迎发布最近报道：中国用户出境游需求增长强劲 Airbnb has recently released the “Summer Outbound Travel Trend Report”, which reveals that the search volume for outbound travel among Chinese users during early summer (July 1 – 15) has skyrocketed nearly sixfold, showing a strong growth momentum.

The top ten trending destinations for this summer are Thailand, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Australia, Italy, Malaysia, and South Korea.

we hope not,

I heard it was 400,000 baht to join,

It's not exclusive to Thailand, seems like every other day in the UK is one,

Does happen let hope not

wait until they get their hands on the boy who is the father

What ever you decide to do, Im told not to draw the curtains let some sunlight get in, I knew of a guy here in Phuket left his condo for 1 year, what a mess and difficult to get rid of the smell

I knew of an agent who moved in, she didn't realize the electric was paid by direct debit, the electric bill so the owner called a friend to go and take a look, sure enough all the agents clothes were there,

More likely she will be a Muslim from that area
