There's only a few places in Thailand which foreigner can legally hold landed properties (homes) by 'Leasehold', 25 to 35 yrs. So, you don't really legally own the property you just put $500,000 into. The only legal way is put into your Thai wife's name, but you have to sign documents that essentially says the money used to buy the home was from your wife, not you, and you have no rights or ownership to your (home), ever. And friends from Europe and Aussie did that, and wife took the property away from them, kick on the street. Legal leasehold is all you'll get. Malaysia - is freehold land, bungalows, ya-da and cheaper land and home costs, even beachfront properties. (Thai is like Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam) push foreigners to buy (condo's) at 10x to 15x construction costs. There's also high gov't taxes if you rent it out, and if you sell, which you will. In Phuket a resell home can be on market for 5-6 yrs and still not sell (leasehold). Your money will be stuck, forever. The water is much deeper than you think. Look before you dive in.

Be warned that Chiangmai has about 3+ months of awful air pollution due to crop burning in the region. Many people just completely leave the area for almost half the year. Also the Thai government is really cracking down on foreign ownership, you can no longer use a shell company or a proxy to buy land, so buying a villa for a foreigner is very dangerous. For condos only 49% of a building can be sold to foreigners and those units are pre allocated - so only ever buy a foreign allocation condo or you run the same risk. Your dream home could just be taken away from you. Agents will not tell you the truth about this.

Before buying a house or any other building in Thailand ensure that you find out how long the property lease is for. Foreigners can not purchase land in Thailand. Therefore any building you purchase is on land that is under some kind of agreement with a Thai citizen or company. What legal assurances are there that once the lease period is up for the land that your home is on will be renewed?

With so many houses and condos for sale and rent in Chiang Mai, this is a rip of even if they are nice! Always stay away from farang brokers and companies targeting foreigners as their main costumers! They always make a place more expensive than necessary. And most foreigner retirees are not out for those prices. And since a foreigner can not own the land legally, it is quite risky to accept to go around the law to be able to "own" the lot your house stand on. You can simply loose everything. You get much better price when you go trough a small local broker when renting a condo or house. And if you are familiar with the market, just rent directly from the owner. That's normally much cheaper.

@@llothar68 thanks for the advice Lothar. I’ve travelled in many countries, many places people warned me not to visit and my street radar is pretty good, but that said never be complacent. On the whole I think Thai people are honest and trustworthy. For example my wife ,son and I arrived at a small vegetarian restaurant ‘ Aum Vegetarian ‘ and realised I hadn’t changed money, so the owner took me to the money exchange on his scooter. It’s this kind of human kindness that leaves one with a good feeling about a country. Last day in Chiang Mai and down to Bangkok for a few days before heading back to cold north, been a fantastic trip, spoke lots of Thai which always makes them chuckle and will come back sometime soon!

The biggest drawback it that foreigners can't own any land. You used to be able to get around this by having a Thai company you control own the land, but they changed the laws to make this much, much more difficult. A common solution is to own the house and lease the land long term or have your Thai wife own the land (a lot of YTers do this). Not an issue with a condo since you don't own the land anyway.

What's the point of buying a half a million dollar home in Thailand ?. I mean, isn't the whole point of moving to places like Thailand or Phillipines is to save a buck and live well on a lot less ? I mean if it is going to cost that kind of money why bother moving to Thailand. One might as well stay home in the U.S. Very disappointed in this. I always thought that "Retired working for you" was cost conscious. For this kind of money you can get a great home anywhere in the south and mid west of U.S matter of fact for half as much. What a joke to call that home "a great value".

Half a Million USD for a house like that!!! Insane and you can't even own it unless your Thai - forget all the stupid schemes of land and property split or some Thai business ownership at 49% - it's a mess in the end waiting for a disaster to happen. House is maybe worth on a great day half the price fully luxury furnished with a multi-year build warrantee. I don't know who is buying these everyday houses for this kind of money not to mention overpriced condos at 30Sqm for 100k USD+. Last I checked, one week ago when we were in Thailand standing in Chiang Mai, 80% of the people are poor, Covid killed that city - they don't even have close to this kind of money. Average Thai brings home 18k a year. or less. Middle class Thai, 40k year and they are a minority. Math doesn't add up. Guess that is why we didn't buy anything there or any place else in Thailand - and I have a Thai wife and she thinks it's insane! It's cheaper to rent than buy even long term in Thailand. 12.5M baht house renting for 30k baht per month - not considering any bank financing interest - at that rental rate would take 32 years to break even not including any maintenance cost during that entire time - that's insane. That is not value creation, that's a waste of money...

My exact thoughts. These go do everything to stroke their egos and go back to their countries to brag about their “rich life” and “business “ in poor Thailand These people are what’s wrong with every corner of the world. raising prices then inviting crime from all different people that feel forced to find illegal ways to feed their kids and PAY expensive rent

I have lived in CM for 25 years and having both owned and rented I would suggest renting for at least a couple of years to feel the place out. Buying a condo is not an issue for a foreigner, this can be done legally. Buying a house is another matter, it would be interesting to hear from Adam as to how house sales are made to foreigners....over to you Adam.

Very beautiful, yet I'm wary of these places because of their large, open floor plans and significant percentages of walls replaced by glass. Traditional home designs evolve based on local characteristics, including climate and the cost of natural resources; history has shown that non-local design standards end up suffering from problems that the local designs addressed centuries before. All of that leads me to wonder how much electricity one would end up using if they were stay-at-home types who ran their air conditioning all day in those big, open floor plans?

Beautiful condos, of course. And great job showcasing the details. But.... prices have sadly gone up over the past 5-10 years. I first visited Thailand about 9 years ago and I think back then Chiang Mai was considered the "affordable" part of Thailand, with new construction condos for $40k-$60k. It seems those days are gone.

Bangkok fall 50% at beginning of Covid, recovered a little. CNX still has good offers but all the new developer projects are the same chinese fraud for stupid guys that just want to flip a speculation object. Maybe they will die out as the supply is so much higher than real demand. Also it was always very very difficult to sell any condos. You need to calculate at least 2 years to find someone so when you are under pressure, thats when the corrupt thais come in and take it for half the price and make the real money. Foreclosures not going to the market, they are in the hand of the local mafia.
