So many foreigners here that have refurbished old condos , especially in Pattaya . No big deal , just don't talk about it .

 

Yeah, Don't wash anything.  Don't fix anything.  Don't paint anything. Don't volunteer to do anything. 

Definitely don't cook, you are taking jobs away from the restaurants who cook for you.

Just don't do anything. 

Then your ok.

To buy a property in Thailand is Equal to put Your Money in the Stock market, i.e you should consider the Money as lost until you have sold.

When sold, Then and only then you actually know for sure if Your Investment has increased in value or not...;)

For sure, when I came to LOS I knew my dosh was gone, I didn't care... But, I was quoting how my residence has gone up in value by the land office and an estate agent...That's cool....If Mrs.Trans and I part (50/50) l will get my money back...But it is all about location regarding "our" place and value...

The same rule of thumb could be wisely applied to any investment. However, if a bank agrees the value of real estate has risen, they can lend against the increased equity.
