What tips do you have for buying a condo in Thailand as an expat planning to retire?

James *********

Just RENT in different condo projects you're interested in, get a feeling for the location, amenities, vibe of the places. If you then still have a desire to own one, you'll be more informed, and better prepared to bet on the one place 🙏
