What should a foreigner consider when renting out a condo in Bangkok, Thailand?

Jimmy ******

It also depends on the area you buy in. If it’s foreigners friendly area, they will pay more. If it’s mainly locals area, rental yields are not that high. Also the condo company makes a big difference as some use cheaper materials than others, although they all use super cheap labour. Expect to renovate/fix many things after 2-3 years

What are some safe investment options in Thailand besides real estate?

Jimmy ******

Go see Kiatnakin Phatra wealth in Asoke. It's a private bank/wealth management where all the rich Thais stash their money. they have funds & bonds that guarantee 8-12% per annum. (subject to minimum investment amount as they only cater to high net worth individuals)

What does the recent USD-Baht exchange rate hitting 34-1 mean for expats and visitors in Thailand?

Jimmy ******

This is normal. In times of high risk, money flows back to the safest currency ie the dollar. Most people in the world trust the dollar more than they trust their own currencies. Hence usd going up and will most likely keep going up as the fed increases rates
