Another "investor" lined up!thumbsup.gif Just make sure there is no svamp nearby.

It's a house for her and her family, nothing there for you.

But buy it for her if you want, as a gift.

Is that you Tony?

How long do you know your GF? You are aware that you would give the money to her as "gift" and have no rights to that house when your GF decides to leave you after you paid? Never buy a house for your GF / wife, if you can't afford to loose all the money and continue with your living.

Finally, whether YOU would want to live in that place when you retire (and still are with your GF who is the owner of the house) is something only you can decide after having visited.

You cant own the land.. the house you can own for a while with 30 year leases. My advise run.. but I agree with others .. your probably a troll because nobody would buy something for the girl you only know half a year that you can't own. They can kick you out at any moment.

If you are for real you probably are fresh of the boat or not gifted with much of a brain. Seriously the horror stories are all there.

Would you in your own country give someone a house in the hope you can live there without any way to legally enforce that ? Would you do that with money from your life savings that you need to live ?

She is probably half your age and tells you your a hansum man ?

Mr thaipaul! Wake up!

She doesn' want to lower your rentexpenses! She wants your money! If you not are very careful and less naive, you will be back in your homecountry within a year, without any of the money, you had saved for retirement!

So for starters rent a place, you can probably get a nice townhouse in Pattaya for 10.000/month on a long contract. If you later want to own something, consider buying a condominium which you can do in your name. A lawyer will be able to help you.

Living in the sticks outside Khon Kaen, in a house owned by a girl you met in a bar on a holiday, is a recipe for disaster!

Sorry to be so blunt, but I would hate to see another one taken to the cleaners.

Good luck!thumbsup.gif

He told me i can save more money from my pension at countryside then in pattaya.

OP, it seems you have all the answers already to satisfy yourself. Good luck and goodnight. thumbsup.gif

If not a troll the OP is obviously thinking with his small head. Another lamb headed for the abbatoir. There is absolutely no reason why he cannot rent in or near Khon Kaen. Rents in Issan are generally a quarter of what they are in Pattaya, often less! Come here to Issan, rent and see how you like it for at least 6 months. And for goodness sakes LISTEN to the stories and advice of other falangs living in the area. They have the experience, know the tricks of the trade, you, despite your age are like a kid in a sweet factory at the moment.

Go and live with him for a while, see if your girlfriend wants to live there with you. If she doesn't, tell her you'll come and visit her in the middle of nowhere sometime.

And then don't.

Seriously? You want to buy a house (which will be in her name) with someone you've known for 6 months? How did you make it to pension age?

Op, as my final comment and warning, you might want to read this experience... http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/673214-american-returning-to-the-usa-with-nothing/

Just the first line for you: "Greetings from....yes...Pattaya....Two ladies scammed me, lesson learned. Putting a house in her name isn't exactly smart but it's only money."
