nikotin Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hi guys, is it possible to get a small 2 bedroom house(detached) for around 850000k max 30 min from the city by bike? Which areas should/could i look? Anybody something to offer? I looked up the internet,but not to many offers,so i guessed best to ride around myself,but where? thx regards markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdietz Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) 850 Million Baht should get you something livable. Or does the K mean something else? Edited September 30, 2016 by Jdietz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jobin Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Since the ThaiVisa classifieds are no longer in service, there is no best place to search. But many houses in villages around San Sai, however, selling to a farang (who cannot own the land) may present many problems to a local seller.

evenstevens Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 as for Maerim forget it,unless you stumble across a Humpty,with toilet paper land title deeds up your ante by a mil, then you are in the right in the ball park ,to find a nice comfortable small 2 b/r mooban place,with channote title deeds its a Beautiful Maerimite Evening to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman34014 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Go and look around inside banks and you will find plenty of pictures and lists of property they have repossessed from Thai mortgage defaulters, of which there are many. They usually have quite a few at knocked down prices as they have so much stock they can't shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNXBKKMAN Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 http://www.ddproperty.com/en/property/h1858-house-for-sale-area-1ngan-for-sale-3076373?ref=ls|normal|3|3 If you go to ddproperty website and search Chiang Mai with a maximum 1 million price, a few places come up like the one above. Look at their locations and scout out those areas for yourself. It's best to deal direct with the seller plus there will be properties out there not on the website. Take a photo of everything you see for sale, even stuff you don't really like. Phone them later to get the price and build up your knowledge of the market. Your budget is really rock bottom for being close to the city and there will be some really miserable places that are not even worth considering but there will be some that will be at least semi pleasant. Its best not to be in a rush to buy and if you are ok putting in the effort going down every soi and lane you may find something you are happy with. Anything you are interested in visit in the evening as well to get feeling what it's like after dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These properties usually go to the highest bidders like an auction. A 2 bedroom property in or close to the city for 850000 baht, sorry, no way. 2 mil/3 mil is a more realistic figure.

A simple house like that in village with 100 wah of land to make a nice garden , a bit of DIY and home improvements.If the location is ok It could be pleasant. I would be confident a better house than that can be found and for less if you spend some time looking on two wheels.

KhonKaenKowboy Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Perhaps sanpatong....townhouse in a better location might be wiser for many reasons. San Sai is rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Sai is rubbish. San Sai maybe rubbish but it`s still not cheap. Even as far out as Sanpatong it would be hard pushed to find a 2 bedroom house with land for 850000. My guess is even a town house will cost 1.5 mil unless it`s miles out from the town in the middle of nowhere. Times have changed. The once 500000 baht up to 1 million bahtstarter homes have long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anto Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The older Village ''Chockvaree '' in Sansai has houses around B1.2 M to B1.5 .M .Maybe as low as your budget for a do upper .They are mostly small bungalows 2 or 3 bedroom ,with small gardens .For the money a quite good Moobaan .I rented a house there for 6 months when i first came to C.M .

If willing to live in the boonies it is possible to find something halfway decent for the specified budget, but the OP is specifically asking for something close to the city.

Sophon How far does 30 minutes by bike( I assumed a motorbike) take you? Quite far out if it is a motorcycle. That website also has a simple home located halfway between the iron bridge and the railway station for 750k , a townhouse halfway between Festival and Maejo for 800k maybe 5 km from the centre? It is wise for the op to get a bit more cash. The 1. 5 million home will be much better than the 800k , 2.5 mil better than the 1.5 mil. That goes on and on whatever your budget is.

You will need to spend another 850K to make the place livable. (Which puts you right around the 1.6 million mark that people suggest as the minimum).

My wife buys properties from government and court auctions. She used to go and bid often, but now doesn't have the time. As she says - "the properties available in that price range aren't good enough for her dog to live in." It's not to say that there aren't some available, but 99.95% of them go to people on the inside - like people who work in the banks or finance companies. And....the properties my wife did buy in that price range......one has sat empty for 5 years while another for 8 years. No one is interested in renting them - unless of course she drops 700-900K Baht into each to fix them up of course. Good luck. You might find something livable in the one million mark in San Patong however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Anything on Mae Jo road and area looking at 3M minimum doi saket at 1.5 - 2M but it's not the house is unattractive which it is but usually the area/neighborhood is a dive.... further out out means traffic galore to reach city on a regular basis... forgot mae rim which is my preferred area at the stated price...hard press to find a usable rai for under a 1M...

I really dont get what you want to put 800-900 k in a small 2 bedroom house that if you build from scratch(without the land) would cost around 500k-600k to build. Do you get this point?You try to tell me i have to put more money in a existing house that it would cost to build it! Golden doors or what could it be. Are you paying your wifes projects?Just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
