joebrown Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Nakhon Sri Tamarat or Pattaya-Rayong. Personally i'd go for a condo in Jomtien-Bang Sarae. You can see the beach.....it looks pretty from high up Different story if you want to swim there though! Bang Sarai only 8 floors allowed, so you not upvery high - on floors !! Jomtien - 10 times overpriced !! Are you referring to the Bang Saray between Pattaya and Sattahip? If so, I suggest you take a drive along the Bang Saray seafront. You might then notice a condo development named Del Mare towards the Pattaya end of the road. I think construction might have already reached the 8th of it's proposed 32 storeys. IMHO It's the start of the 'rape' of Bang Saray. I wonder how the developers were able to get EIA approval for this project, or am I asking a rhetorical question?

thailandforumaddict Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Pattani and anywhere else where they behead innocents must be cheap ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnehaha Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Cheapest place must be somewhere close to “Nakon Nowhere” up Isaan – but be aware of the deeds, may only be legal for family and agriculture; i.e. no house. But yes, up Isaan may be among the cheapest places – land prices are normally (very) dependent of location – but you may not wish to stay there, if you think about property for living, and it may be quite impossible to sell, so as investment not a very good choice. However, as pure investment, farmland up Isaan may be good, looked at over long term. In some areas prices have quadrupled within the last 10 years (maybe more, some other posters may know). You will need a Thai national or a company set-up to hold the land. With beach nearby or beachfront, the cheapest places are those where there (still) is no development (at all). Check the cost line south of Chumphon and all way down, and from south of Koh Lanta and down on the other side. There should be some really beautiful beaches on the Golf of Thailand side, and I’ve heard that prices are reasonable – of course a relative term... As investment, if you can hit the right spot coming up within the next decade or two, you can gain a fortune – in a area down south I’m familiar with, some land prices went up 50-fold or more within a decade – but if continued undeveloped that may be difficult to sell it again without loss (of interest, and value against inflation). Wish you good luck with your search... Mae Sot but who the hell wants to live there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish fingers Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 surprisingly you can find some interesting deals in the Andaman islands, places you'd expect the price to be higher. I've spotted something with the most amazing view, traditional structure, on the sea, lovely island, 1.3M..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOUTHERNSTAR Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 If you are bullet proof the deep south, have the cheapest beach land. Sorry for that but firstly how close is close and what is cheap ? If cheap is less than B 100 000 per rai and close is less than 20 km I doubt you are searching in the correct country. If cheap is B 500 000 per rai and close is less than 20 km you have a chance. Remember that the price per rai decrease as the area of the plot increases, so you can buy seaside land for B 5 mil but you must buy 50 rai - as an example.

blackcab Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Yes I guess Isaan properties would be the cheapest. And for beach, maybe in Chanthaburi , Sattahip etc. or some southern provinces which are low on tourist radar.Good luck with Sattahip, the Navy owns almost all the land and not legally for sale in most cases The owner of the company I work for has a piece of land with house for sale in that area. The property fronts the beach and had steps leading down to the sand. I didn't ask how much though - it's way above my pay grade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1FinickyOne Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 The absolute cheapest I have seen anywhere was in the woods, in Northern Thailand - only 500 baht a rai - and anyone could buy it - the catch was no chanote and the real owner will come along sometime after the purchase… Try and set your cites a little higher - the cheapest anything is rarely much good..

The reason i mentioned it, there was a bit of a scam going on a few years ago where people who had leased land from the navy where sellling the land on to other people around Sattahip and Ban Chang and obviously there where no chanotes for the purchasers as the land was the navys, the people sellling the land did the off with cash, i believe the navy did the right thing and set up some sort of legal leasehold for the new "owners" but no chanotes My point around that area be careful what a person buys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipperylobster Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Sorry...best you can do is lease. You can build a house on somebody else's land ..if you like. If you are married...your wife can buy in her name...as long as you sign something that says the money used never belonged to you. Some people smartly lease if from their wives...which is not truely owning it. Also, be aware that when your wife buys, there are several types of property. I believe there is one that gives an owner "rights", then another that says the land is in the process of receiving the proper paper (chanote?) ...then the land that you want...which has a chanote and is free of debt. good luck on that. The scariest part is that the wife (or the person who bought the property with your money) can run to the bank and pull a second mortgage out on it...anytime they feel like it...without you being involved...or even knowing. whew...that is scarey. I am getting ready to buy some property back in the usa...where I enjoy the benefit of knowing it belongs to me. The beauty of leasing is flexibility. You will remember all this at one time in the future... however, it you are one of the few lucky guys that will remain in thailand forever, with the same wife....good for you....you win.

Joey J Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Sorry but in my experience don't listen to the banks when they say to a falang (we have nice property for you but it's reprocessed) trust me the old owners never think like this to them it will always be their property.

canarysun Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I remember just 3 years back you could buy a condo ( small studio apartment ) in Nirrun Condo in Pattaya ( not the best of all units ) but it was very cheap and has a pool and quite a nice bit of banter in the afternoons by the pool bar. I remember there were a few for sale for around 500,000 Thai Baht ( about 10,000 pounds ) with an all year rental on them for about 4,000 baht a month.But they were tiny with a metal security gate on your very own front door just to give you that real " Alcatraz Feeling " ......... But not a bad investment at the time for just 10 grand. F.J x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
