They are very low standards of work and over priced
Come to Thailand for a year and then see what is involved with the thai immigration and the people who live here and have a good look around the country before you decide on the place where you are moving to full time

It's an oxymoron. Like "bitter sweet", or "happily married" 🤣🤣🤣

I would really look into where you buy, some Condos are cheap, because owners of others aren't paying the ongoing fees, so no maintenance being done, and the rules stop legal action against them, so the whole building suffers.

I think the thai authorities are clamping down on that now (i have only heard this anecdotally), but I am no expert, so I was just reminding Vini of the law.Peter *********

Do not buy condos here in Thailand. They are trash and you will lose money in the long run. The interest on your money will pay for your condo rental here.

What you think your value is and what you can sell is 2 different stories. Thais don't want to buy used and the Chinese do not buy used. It is not like America where inventory is low. I hope you can sell it for what it is worth, but it will be a headache to sell. They build a shinny new hip condo every 2 years in Jomtien and I would rather move to a new building every 2 years. Thai buildings get ugly due to this weather. Avoid the headache.
