@Shannon *******

I can tell you that my old condo in Bangkok has gone up by 15,000 monthly. 20 for a certain period

Covid also largely wiped out the middle class and their stability.

There's definitely been some adverse changes.

Barb Macy there are many law firms that have English speaking consultants along with Thai lawyers to handle everything..

Depending on location there's always a good option

They know exactly how the things go. And exactly how to deal with immigration if you have something that is not up to standard.

Paying a small fee to save yourself the headache is well worth it.

You could always just pay a lawyer that will make sure that it goes smoothly. That's how we did the LTR.

Yes Thailand is the land of stamps. But if you move to another country you've got to be willing to accept these things.

CaptivatingPomegranate1527 is the court case closed or do you have a pending hearing??;

@Greg *******

I know people entering and exiting that have way more serious charges than that . You're right about that greg.

I'm assuming maybe it's a court date that's pending in the home country and they might consider him a possible flight risk??

Colin Faith yep there are a lot of agents that are doing the backdoor deposit

I think they've become smarter

My friend was just blocked out for doing less than $15,000

It's very very unreliable

It'll do $2,000-3005,000 and bang we won't send anything more

I'll be honest

5000 is going to be in a slum or in a very working class neighborhood where she's not going to have any foreigners

For her sake I would triple that budget at a minimum.

Joni1828 depending on your long-term goals leasing might actually be a better option. The market is in a very volatile state right now.

Very easy to buy , almost impossible to sell
