    I think you got it right with the title, Paddy. Buying a house here is only a good idea if you know that you will never try to sell it, because you will always lose money. It's one of very few countries in the world where land/property doesn't appreciate. I bought a 4 bed/4 bath home in an upscale "mu ban" ( หมู่บ้าน) in Bangkok 17 years ago using my company, because foreigners cannot own land outright. You can own the house in your name, but not the land it's built on unless you use a company to buy it. I've maintained it at great expense in "as new" condition (maintaining a house here is very costly because of monsoon weathering every year), but even that isn't good enough for Thai buyers unless I'm prepared to sell it for LESS than I paid for it. And of course the majority don't appreciate Western interior design and appliances so you only ever decorate for yourself - they're quite happy with a fluoro tube and a gas burner on a tiled floor. I totally agree with you about Phetchabun - for me it's on par with Switzerland in many ways and definitely the most beautiful part of the country, But, my humble advice: always rent, don't buy.

  • @r.s.4174

    I had residence in Thailand between 1999 and 2005 and owned a house through a company. My house cost 3m Baht and was already luxery. If I did it again, I'd buy a pickup and only rent. Then move to another place every 1-2 years.

    • @RobertoSiffredi-xy1nc
      @RobertoSiffredi-xy1nc Před 14 dny

      Absolutely right. I don't understand these videos of Westerners building ridiculously large homes ... it seems a bit like colonization and I imagine the locals would resent it. Why not rent the same type of house the locals live in and try to fit in, instead of building a villa in a poor moobahn and sticking out like a sore thumb?

  • @willsmith39
    @willsmith39 Před rokem +43

    Given all the restrictions around ownership and even living in Thailand long term I just don't see the point in buying in Thailand. Especially since expensive finished homes are often virtually illiquid in the secondary market. The two different friends I personally know that tried to sell up, it took a very long time and they had to sell for less than they bought for.
    Retail yields are also typically quite poor if you want to rent it out
    I think renting makes a lot more sense. You can take the 200k USD you would have used and invest that in a property in your home country where you have clear ownership and capital gain over time and rental yields are likely much better.
    Then use the rent you get in your home country to rent a comparative palace in Thailand. That's the route I'd go anyway.
    Edit. If you really don't care about capital gain / rental yield and are perhaps married to a Thai and will be leaving her / your kids there the property, then I guess it's a slightly different situation.

      I stayed 4 years , and also almost bought a condo....it's tempting. But finally i decide,..... Renting is sooo cheap, and your not stuck or committed . You can just stop and go.
      I know we in the west reason different. As renting is paying someone else's property.
      But you're a foreigner,and never can own more then 50%, and yes they got all kinds of tricks that I'm not gonna explain.
      It's a great relaxing place to live, ....and KEEP IT LIKE THAT!!!
      ITS THE FREEDOM that makes it so refreshing. So just never commit to anything, and you'll never get headaches !!!!
      I heard sooooooo many bad stories. And also farangs trying to sell, and finally sold with a loss!!!!!
      If you're old, and don't plan to ever return.... Maybe yes.
      Or got 500k $ to miss, then just go for a 2or 4k property....
      But I'm glad I never bought!!!
      Because the future is never certain!!
      And you're a farang, that means...first you are an ATM!!!
      If your lucky and got this 1 out 100 special girl, still.... When money gets into the 'game'.....i wouldn't be relaxed anymore!!
      Just for your own sake, don't risk it !

  • @romeobulalaquelee
    @romeobulalaquelee Před rokem +32

    Any foreigner has to be very extra careful in purchasing land on which to build a house in any country. There are just so many factors to consider. I guess, the rule of thumb is to first immerse oneself, by renting, within a selected locale, observe the goings-on thereat, and estimate the major stimuli found in the area in the context of one's needs. Two years would be a good duration to do just that. Any hasty decision to buy and settle should be avoided at all cost. 😀

    Thanks for nice reviewing of Khaokor. I have same thought like your and totally agree on pros of living at Khaokor that you mentioned. I traveled to many place in Thailand from North to South, East to West and never thought to buy second home until I visited Khaokor 10 years ago. Finally I decided and bought a small plot of land at Khaokor Highland Resort where you were allowed to entrance recently. There are many good reasons to support my decision such as security system, neighbors and community, privacy, land and environment management etc. Most of the buyers here are from Bangkok, Phitsanulok, Chiang Mai, Chon Buri, Phetchabun city, and foreigners from like Switzerland. During COVID-19, I work from anyway and my children have to study online last year I spent almost 5 months in total at Khaokor. There are plenty of good restaurants, nice coffee and cafe, traveling spot.
    I wish you cloud find a piece of land at Khaokor and make your dream come true very soon.

    Hey Paddy. I just discovered your channel through this video. I've built my dream villa in Phetchabun valley, right between Phetchabun and Lom Sak. Even after 15 years, waking up with a view of Khao Khor mountains, never gets boring. "Phet" means diamond and the province truly does sparkle. Would be great to meet up sometime and show you the area by motorbike or mountain bike. Close to the highway but 100% off the tourist path. Through rice fields and small villages and to a nearby lake and waterfall (natural slider).

    Beautiful. We live in Phetchabun, 30 minutes from that temple. We love it here. My wife's family lives a few miles from us, and she grew up here. Of course I highly recommend it if you're thinking of building a house. Khao Kho in that area is expensive, and you'd be about an hour to Tesco or Makro, so unless you want to always eat only Village food or at a touristy restaurant (not cheap), you might consider the villages down in the valley east of Khao Kho. Not as cool in temperature, but much more convenient and less expensive.

When we retire near Buriram we have discussed spending the hot season in Nam Now near to Phetchabun just across the valley. We would probably stay in a Thai style home on the edge of a village - hopefully away from the chickens and dogs. I am not sure that I could do the modern build on a plot. Good luck with your journey, I will be following 😀

    Hi Paddy, thanks for another great video. I think I have to add this area to my already long list of Thai places to visit. Isn't that just a SE Asia classic? You ride what you consider to be an almost impossible route on your expensive bike... just to see a local family on a small scooter going by as it was nothing.

    I just hired a contracter to build a house almost like this size. It cost me around 4 million baht in construction. no furnitures included.
    The land cost me around 200k baht, but it isnt locate in a kinda premium land.
    The rising in iron price really contribute to the construction cost.
    Hope you find good house in a great deal soon.

    Paddy, you might consider motorcycle training at one of Honda's training sites. I live by the one in Bangkok, but there is one in Chiang Mai as well. On road and off. I highly recommend it. Also, when you ride or drive off-road it is so much better (safer) when you drive with someone else.

    You have to concern that land is legal or illegal. Some area are in the national park area, which cannot be transfered to buyer. The legal land can be officially issued by Department of Land called “Chanod” or “Deed”.

    Great video bud! I'm watching this as a hybrid farang thai blooded man living in Thailand since 2006. What I like to tell you is that, no land on earth is worth more than you think it is. For some people 8M baht might not be worth the small land and the not so big house that comes with it for 8M baht. For others though, it might be like living the dream and very luxuary living may it be. Moving to a foreign country, I have far to many things to reconsider, such as health care, security, capital gains is surely one of the other things to reconsider. How easy, or hard will it be to sell the land in the future? One of the many questions you might want to ask yourself if it one days comes to the task that you might not no longer want to live on that land for any private reason.
    I have read through many of the comments, and seen the majority of them tells you to stay away from investing in land in Thailand. I can't say I agree or not with that, but I can tell you that no land is worth more than what you think it is for yourself. It might be worth 8M in your own eyes, or it might not be.
    There are many expats investing in property in Spain, but that is perhaps not what you had in mind.
    Good luck with your journey, and I hope you will seek peace and happiness where ever it might take you. =)

    I don't blame you for turning around, the road looked unsafe. Phetchabun looks like a very beautiful area and the temples look next level. Before buying a property in Phetchabun, why don't you try living there for a couple of months and get a good feel for the place. Looking forward to Laos :)

    Hiya Paddy, I love Phetchabun province. Such a slower pace and is so relaxing and calming. Beautiful drone footage.
    So cheap compared to the UK. Like a Million pound house. If not more.
    Your favorite house. Great choice of design.
    That road. Well, the way up to the mountain. Was hectic. Love how honest you are.
    You're a master at flying your drone. That was the best choice to turn around. I would not do it. If you went up. Coming down that crazy bit would be mad. Great video. I can understand why you would want to live there. Thank you for sharing.
