I bought a condo in Chiangmai where the monthly rent is about 12 000 baht a month...I paid 1,300,000 baht...the condo is in my name......that was 14 years ago, if I had rented today I would have nothing , the condo had given me more than that as I can decorate it and furnish ot however I like, nobody gets inside but me.....the condo management is very good ...... today that condo sells for 1,800,000....to 2,200,000 ....they do change hands fairly quickly as its in a very desirable location......if I rent I would have nothing, zero, zilch and would have paid out 2,016,000 baht ....so now I live for free , no rent just 1000 baht a month condo fees.......clearly if you plan to stay for a number of years buy the condo...if you buy you get your money back over time.....

I just did 3 transfers...in the far left hand side of my passbook which you should update if its a thai bank it will have FTT....this is all you need to show the funds have come from overseas

depends on your landlord....and they are all different....I had no trouble with mine, rented for a year...got back 100 percent within a week......they are reasonable with usual wear and tear....what is important is that the unit is immaculately clean when you move out....if you have the attitude of I do not care and leave it a mess as they will charge me anyway...I would think all hope is list...its worth making an effort....

My father was a doctor, i had a friend with sarcoma he said when they get sarcoma everyone dies, even if she made it to Thailand she still die 100 percent, Thailand has no pallitive care so no pain killers near the end, very painful to die in thailand, not your fault you can not beat cancer
