@@luxuryseaviewvillas6744 Those who are truly wealthy know how to protect their money. Buying real estate in Thailand is not a smart thing to do. Everyone wants a new home there..not a used one..and if you need to sell your property it may sit for years without a buyer..until you lower the price so much you lose money. Go look at how many beautiful pre-owned expensive homes are for sale with no buyers for years because every day a NEW expensive home is built..so why bother getting a used one? Renting is the smartest thing to do in Thailand.

Let me offer a balanced view here. While I am all for owning a house in Koh Samui, I have to admit that it is not for everyone, and that one needs to consider a few things very carefully. I fail to see why people would spend so much money for what are objectively relatively poor offerings. Admittedly, you may get a stunning view, but most houses like the ones presented have a very small footprint, because land is so expensive, and the price tag is quite hefty, especially for a holiday house that will not be used more than a few weeks per year. Our case is different. We live in Bangkok, and we own a nice villa in Samui: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a private pool, a car bay and a decent sized garden. Our villa cost a lot less to build than those advertised, and it is considerably more pleasant (or so it appears to me anyway). No sea view, but who cares about that, really? The “Foreigners cannot own land” thing never was an issue for us, and now that there is an excellent night ferry service between Sattahip and Nathon, we can much more easily come over with the car for short stays (5-15 days), making our villa all the more pleasant and attractive.

Canadians are also doing this crap in Mexico resort places like Puerto Vallarta and the Yucatan peninsula. They are single-handedly buying up tons of beachfront land..building overpriced condos..and taking over so that the locals can't even live there anymore. Disgusting to say the least. Only Govts can stop them..but they like the taxes they get from them so that's not happening. What's really ridiculous is that the work force who make these homes are local and get paid local wages..which is dirt poor. So..these builders are not only fleecing their buyers..they are fleecing the local people who build these overpriced homes. Everyone gets screwed..except the builders who cash in.

1M AUD, I can buy two properties in AUS rent them out (Rental vacancies are at record lows and rents at record highs), live there and rent a nice place with great views and double my money in 10 years with peace of mind knowing I control everything 100% and own the land 100% unlike over there...Only a fool would sink serious money into a country where you effectively do not own the land at all and are at the mercy of a fully corrupt government, looks can be deceiving. Whenever I hear foreigners are over there who are not Thai citizens doing real estate deals, its a red flag.

Thank you for this video. And much of your time. My one question is about Health Care living in Thailand and surrounding areas. If you could address that in a video on the pros and cons please.

This might be a dumb question, but is a villa considered like an apartment? In other words, can it be purchased by a foreigner? Or is it considered like purchasing land which I have heard is not allowed? Thanks!

No, this is the big detail that is left out. Just consider yourself to be a long term renter and if you have a Thai wife you better split the land and the home 50/50. There are some challenges with owning a condo and it has to do with a % of the property must be owned by Thais, something like 60%/40% I could be wrong but remember this is not your country and things can go bad quick. As always buyer beware. The laws are not on your side. EVER.

Of the hundreds of thousands of people who bought homes using the proxy services, how many have actually had a problem in the decades this has been going on? And I'm not talking about people who bought it with their wife and lost it to her like they could have in their own country just the same. I'm talking about the people who do it through a reputable service. How many have had a problem. The answer is 0. 0 out of hundreds of thousands. @@johnwayne2103

No..they can't. No country will do that for real estate purchased in a different country where they aren't able to repossess it in case of non-payment.

Love the vids, but I don’t understand…seems marketed to foreigners, but foreigners can’t own land. So are these meant for Thai citizens or is the land leased? Please help clarify. As a foreigner, I would love to buy in Thailand, but don’t understand how this all works. Thanks brother.

There are hundreds of thousands of foreigners who own houses in Thailand by proxy, and not one of them has ever had a problem in the many decades people have been doing so.
