I’m sure we all dream of having our own 3+ bedroom villa, private pool, easy access to local bars/ shops/ restaurants all only a short walk away under pine tree lit roads with the soft golden sands and warm sea equally a short distance away and everything within walking distance
The reality is usually very much different
This got me wondering, I’ve seen stories of Expats who’ve purchased a dilapidated old run down farm that’s been empty for 40+ years in France
They’ve then spent month and months and countless tens of thousands renovating the place, from what was a potential nightmare ends up being a paradise usually reserved for dreams
This has got me thinking, in Thailand, are there old rundown old places available for rent where the usual restrictions are perhaps not so tight where the renter, with the permission of the landlord can in effect renovation a property, ok, I’m already hearing oh yes, the landlord would love that, you renovate, they kick you out after a year or two and enjoy your hard work
But it happens and indeed works in France and other European countries hence I was wondering if something similar happens in Thailand where BOTH parties benefit?
