Every crisis also brings opportunity. Right now, buying a condo in Bangkok can actually be a good move, because supply is outpacing demand, Developers are offering aggressive promotions and prices are more negotiable.

Of course, location and the developer’s reputation matter a lot. You should make sure that your investment can at least outperform inflation, which means choosing an economic zone with good transport links and nearby CBD areas. That way, even if you don’t plan to live there yourself, renting it out will be much easier.

(A good local agency can help with that — you just pay a one-month rental commission, and they’ll take care of your unit and tenants all year long.)
