At the Central mall on PTY 2nd road, there are real state sales agents with tables and sample models of property resembling apartment/condo complexes and buildings.

The daughter of one of my past landlords buys condos, reconditions them, then sells them at a profit. She gets the available real state offerings from the banks. I've been in LOS for years and cannot recall seeing an actual real state brick and mortar sales office, but have known of the existence of real state agents. I suppose different countries have their own systems.

The best advice I will give you, foc , is not to buy anything regards real estate in thailand.

There isn’t enough space here to go into the details find it out yourself.

Two examples, vt7 built right in front of the JCC condo complex, and central festival built alongside vt6, trashing views and values.

You can buy a condo in a complex where 51% are owned by Thais

I am asking about Apartment Complexes, not single unit dwelling condos. As an investment, not a home.
John ********
@Steve ******
you cannot own the full Apartment only 49%
Gregory ********
@Steve ******
budget would be a starting point and number of rooms—these are all listed by agents throughout Pattaya—if they have on their books
Bob **********
@Steve ******
you can’t own them you’ll need a company 51% owned by Thais
Robert *****
Better get a good attorney because most foreigners are prohibited from owning most real estate in Thailand. Maybe marry a Thai women and she will be the listed land owner. Some condo units that meet certain requirements you can own a unit, but not land.
