Thai marked is to unpredictable, and it is more luck than actually knowing what is an good investment or not for average Joe. As an investor, you must be willing to risk your investment, 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandboxer Posted Wednesday at 05:19 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:19 AM Farm land with at least a 15 yr strategy if you're married to a Thai lady (or now, man) and are confident in your marriage lasting permanently. Otherwise, just give me 2 million and I'll make you a millionaire within 24 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a proven money maker over decades, and may save your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted yesterday at 12:38 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:38 AM RE has worked out very nicely for us, but you need a trusted, like minded, intelligent Thai for that. Along with lots of your own previous experience to be successful. Not recommended for the novice. Best to simply live here, if that's one's choice, and keep you investment elsewhere and do what you know best, and works there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTL worked for us in a Moo Bahn popular with Thais and foreigners alike Avoid a mortgage so your name can be on a usufruct. Also consider govt. savings bonds but these in your wife’s name. And don’t forget to insist on your wife writing a will with you as main benefactor. Also consider opening a shop selling products like vinyl and hi Fi gear. Not a coffee shop but maybe a tea room in the right location during the daylight hours and a wine shop in the evenings. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauptmannUK Posted yesterday at 06:47 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:47 AM Unless you are Thai or are somehow getting money in THB I'm not sure why you'd invest in Thailand. I have almost nothing here, other than some domestic appliances and payment of 50% of the price of a car (which is actually in my wife's name). My wife owns quite a bit of land and property, including a couple of condos which are rented out. She also owns two small businesses that are run by family. It all seems to be profitable, but the profits are small. In the UK she owns 50% of a small hotel/restaurant business and that is very profitable - the return dwarfs what she gets from her Thai enterprises.

JeffersLos Posted yesterday at 06:55 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:55 AM I am interested in buying property for my 2 Thai sons. Not condos. I was previously thinking of a house or townhouse each, maybe to make a restaurant downstairs, then can rent the whole lot out. But now I'm looking at buying a dormitory near a university for them. With a house or condo the tenants may leave and it's empty for a few months generating zero. Dormitories provide a much more reliable source of income, it's not likely that all 30 or 40 tenants are suddenly going to leave at the same time.

BTL only works when a Thai buys and then registers in their name . The chanot can then be endorsed with you as usufructee but you can’t have a mortgage as bank needs to hold the title deed and they don’t allow any other interested party apart from the Thai owner. Non Thais can’t do this so you must gamble on a long and healthy marriage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
