webfact Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 By Panithan Onthaworn Property developer Ananda Development Plc (ANAN) reported a 2021 full-year net loss of 457 million baht. The losses were a 120 per cent increase from 2020 which the company blamed on weak property demand caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The company’s fourth-quarter net loss of 220 million baht was also worse than what most analysts anticipated. Ananda’s chief executive Chanond Ruangkritya said the losses were mainly from “a decline in income from the joint venture investments which was affected by low condominium transfers under the Covid-19 outbreak.” Full story: https://www.thaienquirer.com/37915/anandas-losses-pile-on-in-2021-due-to-pandemic-impact/ -- © Copyright Thai Enquirer 2022-02-26 - Aetna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Prior to leaving 22 months ago, they had started building the huge (to be) condos next to Tops in Soi Khao Noi. It appears that working on those condos stopped when I left and there has been no further work on them. I would very much fear buying any of them now (though targeted at the Chinese with a purpose built sales shop over the road seeing no Chinese for 2 years and selling diddly) , as the foundations have been open to the elements for 2 years. The lift shafts or whatever appear cracked and held together now with slapped on extra concrete. The Chinese wont be back to sell these derelicts too for at least another year, more of they invade Taiwan and certainly no westerner with a sound mind is going to want to buy a condo in a building left derelict for 2 years. Even the Chinese will be wary on return to buy anything they could get banned again by their own country to travel to ! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Enzian Posted February 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2022 This is a really big fat yellow canary in the coal mine isn't it. Doesn't take much reading between the lines to finally get some real truth about the real estate situation in Thailand. Long Covid doesn't just apply to our bodies, it's going to affect the property situation here for a long time. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with small Developers now throwing up small 50 TW single storey Houses and selling them for between 1.2 and 2.2 Million, the situation will only get worse for the greedy large Developers. There were 10 of these small Houses thrown up in rapid time down the Street from me, and within 2 Months only 2 remain empty. Another small Developer is selling Houses of the same type for a Deposit of only 99 Baht and move in Insane, when many will have to pay back over a 30 Years period Private Household Debt is a very real, and major issue for the Thai Government, and with little will, or ability to tighten the lending, there are many serious issue looming down the line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will B Good Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 That contrasts sharply with the BoT property report in the paper we can't name..........property prices taking off, huge demand expected shortly, things looking good for the property market etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Like TAT figures Thailand's building companies always seem cheerfully optimistic yet in the ghost town, formerly known as Pattaya, building continues apace. I can understand acquiring land, whilst owners are selling off cheap, but not paying workers to build properties which no-one will buy for several years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Highend Expat Posted February 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2022 The Thai real estate market, as an investment market, has traditionally been quietly targeted at money launderers and other expropriaters of Illicit wealth. In recent times, this has been primarily Russians, Chinese with a small number of Westerner immigrants and expats. The China real estate market has completely collapsed. And, Xi has made it MUCH more difficult for China nationals to get wealth out of the country. He needs to keep the money in China. Russia will be sanctioned for at least a decade for what's happening in Ukraine. There are very few other buyers willing to buy Thai real estate. Thus, the Thais are in for a difficult ride for the next 10 years. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, the Thais are in for a difficult ride for the next 10 years. I personally think it is going to be the Thai Banks who are in for a rough ride, and possibly with that, the whole Economy. They have lent out massive amounts of money over the last 6 Months or so, sending the Household Debt to GDP Ratio climbing from 86 % of GDP to a huge 100 % over that period to a new high at the end of the last Quarter. All this money being lent to stimulate the Property Market due to the Covid Pandemic, however the Government keep saying this Household Debt is far to high and has to be curtailed.

I guess it depends on the currency and the time frame we are looking at. 30 years ago, I received THB 25 for USD 1, now it is THB 32. That's how strong the Baht has got. Or did it get weaker? These things always confuse me. It's worse for my friends in Switzerland and their CHF. Only THB 17 30 years ago, now THB 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkski Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 50 tw about 2000 SQ ft. That's nice sized house for 2 million baht. Not to bad. I wonder what BKK will look like in a century. Sunk. More ghost towers. When these poorly constructed towers become unsafe who will pay to demolish them? Just look at that one tower in BKk and Pattaya.

Briefly got something like 73 baht to the GBP (years ago)......I guess that spoilt me as it has since been the bench mark. Would be happy to see something like 50+ baht in the future.
