If you're planning to buy now is the perfect time as the market is saturated with properties for sale in all areas and all sizes and prices, if you're in Thailand for the long haul than yes buy a condo, not a good idea as investment or renting, i'n stuck for couple of units for sale in Sukhumvit Rd for months now with not even one caller...

price is  too  high then, simple  as  that..whatever you  might think or  have  paid

with condos on either side i.e. no outside wall

wrong try get corner  unit so less  chance of  noisy neighbour, the heat you can control, the neighbour  you  cant

I just sold a condo in Pattaya today . Found a buyer in 5 weeks and got 8 visits during these 5 weeks. The market is far to be dead !

Buyer is from USA

A guy from Australia made an offer 100'000 B shorter

1 from Norway, 1 from Germany, 1 from a Gulf country 

2 from Thailand (!? even if condo in foreign quota, so more expensive)

last one I forgot.

Thank you for your detailed answer

so the westerners are still on the real estate market

i am surprised to see none of the famous chineses or indians

investissors in your list. It could be because they prefer buy the new ones

and not on the second hand market? what do you think about it?

I also think they prefer buy new.

And they often have a guaranteed return of x% for the first 3, 5 or 10 years...
