A bar is a bar to them. Unable to distinguish. I think their logic is blinded by their own budget constraints. When you arrived in thailand, i know how much rent you were paying. You are not the target for these condos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not the target for these condos. like i say, 1 example please. Even you aren't daft enough to pay 30k for a 35m condo long term? Maybe you have a highfalutin obnoxious friend like you who rents such a place? Edited March 26 by scubascuba3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CecilM Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Selling a 'normal' condo takes ages and you're lucky if you get what you paid for it. (Speaking from experience.) Things might be different in the high end luxury market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 10 years, most of the bigger room condo's will be rather grotty looking. Originally i was going to bkk and this price/size was the expectation. But i have a great workspace here.

That's up to the committee to ensure they are well maintained. They will look older though, you can't make an older condo look brand new outside. Older well looked after condos are much better value, usually people come round to that thinking after a few years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 10 year old good value (now) condo's in another 10 years ...they will be interesting to see. If we took a snapshot of 20 year old condo's now ....which ones are still nice? I'm guessing those ages will be a few of the view talay ones?? None of them look great to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the others you'll need to check them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View talay 6 - their premium one i'm guessing - is only 17 years old. Already looking tired. Add 10 onto that ...shall be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some other older projects that are being maintained: Northshore, Sky Beach, Garden Cliff, Silver Beach, Saranchol, Park Beach, Pingpha, Baan Rimpha, Jomtien Complex, Grand Condotel, Baan Haad U Thong, Siam Penthouse 3, and Markland, among many others. I don't know if View Talay 6 is looking 'tired'--haven't been there recently--but I think the other VTs are being maintained adequately. I do go to VT3 fairly often and it looks about the same as when I lived there 14 years ago--although it has been recently painted on the outside and the elevators and pool were redone. I think VT5C and 5D were also repainted. The VT projects were pretty plain jane from the get-go with most having just a pool so not a long list of fancy amenities to maintain in any of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not heard of most of those and no doubt some are in the higher value category. I guess in 10 years we shall see how it develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They buy second hand all the time anyone telling you anything else has no idea. A few years ago she couldnt keep up with demand, its quieter now but they do still sell. Ive got no skin in the game and have no involvement in her affairs, we dont even live in the same area, are 250km apart. you mean she is an agent that takes her easy 3% for just showing a place? dumb in 2024 that people don't try to sell themselves... farang cannot own house and the prices increased because of thai greed together with agents fishing for comission 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
