CNX69 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Thai Mademoiselle and "Monsieur" tried to persuade me to invest in a Chon Buri Condo startup with 30% Monthly Interest Return (Earnings) on investment. My reply was "let's meet in ChonBuri and see the land" Haha ( Maximum Interest by Thai Law is 15% per year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritsSikkink Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 "Interest" and "return on investment" are two completely different things. A ROI of 30% is allowed but highly unlikely. A condo isn't land. I think you lack the knowledge to invest, better keep it in a bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I was once asked to "contribute" to a farang's finances in Bkk. He sort of blew it for himself when he earlier claimed to be a reincarnation of the Dali Llama. Hint- a living person can't also be reincarnated at the same time. Interesting conversation though, and well worth the cup of coffee I bought him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetCowboy Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 So have you seen the land yet? When does construction start? Can you post pictures? I'm looking for investment opportunities too. Did you go for it? Sounds like a good investment to me, and if you can't trust a Western bloke with a Thai wife, whom can you trust? SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
