A little bit OT but I still vividly remember meeting a friend of a friend during the Pheu Thai days and she was an estate agent in London. When I mentioned I was based over in LoS, she told me she had not long sold a London townhouse to a Thai government minister for several million pounds… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No misreprentation at all when you realize how many people live in Thailand. Everyone in Thailand knows someone that did something, etc., etc., etc. I knew a guy that could juggle beer bottles. Only 1 though. You would think with 66,000,000 people, I would know more with this skill, but I do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightSky Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) 21 hours ago, jinners said: why only rent in future? How long did you own and what problems did you come across? I didn't make any money on the property, I probably broke even compared to renting. Meanwhile investing in property in other countries has seen good returns. I wouldn't put others off owning its just where I am personally renting would be my preferred choice going forward most likely. My 'too little too late' comment referred to the government offering schemes to foreigners to invest, whereas for me I wasn't allowed to buy in my name only my wife's name and its too late as she/we already sold. If I were able to obtain mortgages in my name (even after paying taxes in Thailand long term this wasn't an option for me as I didn't own the property), then we might have held onto it longer, maybe. It wasn't even affordability, it was the fact I had limited options (and my wife had fewer financial options than I would be expected to have) In addition to this, the point is foreigners have their hands tied when there is no need for this other than to disadvantage foreigners who have setup a life in Thailand. Does this help? ???? Edited July 14, 2022 by NightSky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyk Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Dang, I am getting all schemed out. Kinda a schematic overload. I think they should give us about a week or two break to get our tolerance back up to normal. Then we can properly receive the next scheme..

WhatsNext Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) So tired with this country, in Europe we let in just about anyone with sneakers a phone and a problematic religion, they will never be productive, never add anything to society, only use tax money and in return cause problems. But here the expats come and bring money, want to settle here and spend their entire pensions and savings, all we want is a house on our name. So let's do that for exactly no one, because who wants to wait 3 years and invest 40 million to eventually be able to buy a house of 6-20 million. O dear, time for ummmm Spain. Edit : by the way, i live here and have a house on a Thai company, yes it's possible but i want the same rights here as Thai's have with "us" in the west.

That may well be an option I'm have to look at. Having said that in the unlikely event my wife dies first I may want to shoebox more time in the UK where I have 2 granddaughters. In that case I might need some of the money from the sale of the house and land in Thailand. I trust my family but I'd just prefer having something I own. With all this stress I'll probably die of a heart attack first anyway. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
