How to buy a house in Thailand and how to buy a villa in Thailand.

economy
There are 536 listed companies in Thailand, which are listed on the Thai Stock Exchange. Bangkok has become an important economic pillar in Southeast Asia.
Real estate market
Most of the world's top 500 foreign companies have branches in Bangkok, and the foreign executives of these companies are also the main source of tenants in Bangkok's high-end real estate market.
Bangkok itself has a population of more than 1000 million, and it also concentrates more than 80% of the wealthy class in Thailand. There is a great demand for housing, and the supply of new buildings is limited, so the property price is high.
The average price of newly-built mid-range apartments is around 30,000 yuan/square meter. An ordinary one-bedroom apartment costs about 800,000 RMB, with a monthly rent of about 4,000 RMB and a rental return rate of about 6%.
Of course, the house prices in different locations vary greatly, and the highest house price in the prime location in the city center can exceed RMB 60,000 per square meter.

The scarcity of land in Bangkok, coupled with private ownership of land, makes it difficult to develop and rebuild. There are fewer and fewer houses in the market, more and more people, and the price of real estate is rising year by year.
At present, the apartment market in Bangkok is still developing healthily, and large-scale infrastructure construction in Bangkok is under way. For example, the simultaneous construction of multiple subway lines will not be basically completed until 2030.
