what i guess is the challenge of TT back to home country from Thai banks, usually immergation in countries has law to prohibited amount of hand carry cash.

If the cash brought in can be proofed, including capital gain by selling condo or other local investment , it should be safe

All investment is gambling. property is just one of the investment in gambling profolio.

Only with good insight and experience, eg thesedays, property trend, USD turns weak, tariff war, Ai bloom…etc so many uncertainty

buying or renting property in Thai still is a good decision if you trust yourself

Some people pick up the most negative situation like SARS in Asia and covid .. now they can retire but still greed, and some got enough and look for a reactively cheap Thailand for life .. it is understood

for buying bond mean lending money to government. Thai government policy and financial is not stable, mean bond can be default

Although US gov has mega huge debt .. but greenback is still the king of the world
