Home Ownership In Bangkok

If you have been following my blog, you will know that I have a friend who is an expatriate in Bangkok. recently, I have talked to him about owning property since the economy is slow and it would be a good time to pick up property.

My friend thinks the same too and is looking for property to buy in Bangkok. He says that he will purchase a townhouse in Bangkok, joint names with his girlfriend, who is Thai.

According to my friend, if he were to buy a condo, he could buy under his individual name but buying landed property, Thai housing law stipulates that foreign owned properties must be held at least 50% by Thai nationals.

Oh.... I believe in Malaysia, foreigners could own any property above RM250,000. That is cheap. Anyway, my friend's budget is also RM250K - RM300K for a three-story townhouse in Bangkok and according to him, it is way cheaper than owning property in Kuala Lumpur!
