2 Bed House and Land for Sale on Koh Chang Island Thailand 

Only one dreaming is the 'owner' of the land at that price.

What did you think of the land and house? I personally thought the land was beautiful but the house needs some work. Any opinions on the legalities of foreigners owning land?

Koh Chang is also my favourite island. I would consider buying land and building a house in Koh Chang. Everyone has their opinion but 5 Million baht is a fantasy asking price for half a rai ( 800 m2 ) with a house like that on it. You did not mention if the title is red chanot, green or black chanot.

A little too expensive for me ;) I can see myself living there thought 100%! Thanks for the viewing :D

I see Dave Keegans channel has been removed - Bangkok Diaries Thailand - there is another video circulating about his channel

Seem a very high asking price for this plot of land compared to a plot I seen by another RU-vidr. This plot is approx 1/2 Rai & to be honest it has a pretty basic house on it that would need a lot of work & this guy is asking £109K. The other video I just seen talks about a 1 Rai plot which has a modern house with swimming pool + an additional guest house again quite modern approx 5 minutes from a beach & price is very similar to what this guy is asking. It would be a no brainer to me which plot I would go after.

Being a builder, retired wouldn't touch that house with a thai bargepole, cheaply made bad roof, which by the way u should have shown 😀 land got possibilities would worry about the river though

wooow he is brave for whis for that prise in this time,,, still good property but,,,

The value there is in the land. Personally I would probably knock the current house down and build a nice villa with pool.

That bar/hotel for sale you showed in another video was wayyyyyyyyy better value

A piece of paradise in the land of smiles 👏👏

At 15,000 baht a month to rent places the value of the property at just over 2,500,000

Pete, Another way for a foreigner to buy land here is to put 49% in his or her name and 49% in their Thai spouse's name, with 2% eschew. (Not sure if 'eschew' is the correct spelling, howevet I mean in no ones name and that way it cannot be sold there-in-after - unless both partners agree.)

Really interesting vlog bro.

Enjoyed this Pete & Koh Chang is very very tempting as a relaxing retirement destination, mmm lets see hey. Like the location & having White Sands within 10mins, like the land but would want to make changes to the house. I'd perhaps rent it on a long term agreement, but not buy at that price. Not saying it's not worth it, but more/better could be had for that money. That said, it does have the location going for it & island living. Thanks for sharing...heres to Koh Chang, the land of The Rasta View 😀

Nice and interesting video Pete. As a "City-Guy" the house is not my cup of tea but it was really interesting to see what you can get for 5 million. The laws for foreigners are not easy. In Germany you are allowed to buy land and house - also as non citizen. Nune irritated me at the end of the video. What she doing with her feet in her hands? 😄. Have a great time and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

I love Kho Chang, Samui, Phangan

you must be careful buying land on the islands as there are nearly no "chanote" deeds. So ownership of the land is not possible on alot of properties in Koh Chang. you can own the building built on the land but not the land.

The easy way to have a place in paradise is to sell your own place back home and buy a smaller place. Take the difference in the capital with you. Lease out the place back home as a tax free income in Thailand (taking advantage of the poor soda who can’t afford to buy) The you arrive in Thailand with capital,savings and a regular income while doing nothing. The next step is to go to the place you like,say Koh Chang. See some mug that’s been cheated or lost his place.Tell him you’ll do him a favour and long lease it off him for a set rate of less than half (maybe a quarter) of your income,get it written up by a solicitor. Et voila! You’ve a place back home,regular income,a dream home on a tropical island just by being a little bit ahead of the posse. You can always return back and still take your money saved and capital with you so you never lose the land as it’s on the same long lease you get on a condo or apartment in the west. Lemon squeezy.

in asia dont buy you have too many option to rent and to rent cheep becuse every one buy for futere the last 20 year ,,, is so good secund market i love it , last year i rent in nakonrachima god house for 10 k thb

Nice one Pete

Does the land flood in rain season? I would be concerned about buying a house near water in a country like Thailand 🤔

Once again another great Vlog and info, well done Pete, not bad for an Irishman, LOL.

At 15,000 b a month rent , you can rent for 27 years before you hit 5,000,000 baht. To sell this you need to present the figures differently for an investor

Mate, I have a uk friend who owns 3 hotels and about 25 luxury houses in thailand and is very wealthy……..FYI they’re ALL in his name, nothing in his wife’s name

Another legal and best way to do it is to set up a PLC in uk for £100, buy a house in any old thai person’s name with your lawyer present and immediately they’ve signed, they then sign another document leasing the house to your PlLC for say 10 baht a mont h for 99 years……legal and simple…..that’s how my mate owns 25 houses there.

Wow!!!

very cool!!!!

good one

Man, that property is hideous!…..dark, dingy , terrible design and worst of all built out of totally cheap nasty materials……I’ve seen hundreds of houses in Thailand, and that’s awful…..haven’t even got to the price yet!…….it’s basically a big garden shed!, who’s the owner kidding!?

hmmm the house not impress me much but i love the land though ' price is way too much lol

Nice

You can always put it at your thai wife name its the easiest probably.

'You've got your Irish man. I said that in an American accent' haha Lovely bit of land, not a fan of the gaf or price tbh ... I've not bought over here, probably won't do, too much hassle imo so I rent and move about as I please.

i would not like the heating bill in winter with them high ceilings

This is a bargain for 15k a month. I've been to this house, The owner is sound.

Are you living down there now, Pete?

I thought a guy with your means Pete would have snapped it up with petty cash.Cheers

What do you need 1acre of wasteland, sorry garden ,for?…..buddy you need to look at a few places!

What Happened to Dave Keegan's Channel?

Want to own land,simple…….get a Thai wife!

Is very weird layout I have to say 😅

Peat you my brother 🤟

Very poor design and it needs a lot of work. Great idea that didn't work out. Imagine having a few pints, climb in bed, pass out then wake up and you need to take a slash, good luck with those stairs.

Just saw hatchet job done on your ex friend in Bangkok .He must have stepped on a few toes to have someone drill into him like that .Should be all fun and games in his small little condo with the wife 😉

Lol .owner in thai ....!!! Lol ..

We have a few plots of land around Thailand so I have seen first hand how the land office operate. In Chantaburi I had to sign a document stating that none of the monies for the purchase of the land was mine. In Chumphon its Tor Bor land so it was done through the village head for Thais this is normal business and is reasonably safe as long as your Thai. On Koh Phangan its a way more complicated lets say I won't go into here . Now up North we just completed a deal on a property and on the Chanote I have been given a usuafruct (common law) which entitles me to live on the land till I die or sell it on with my better half. I was never asked to sign a waiver regarding funds as in Chantaburi. So like immigration they seem different interpretations around the Kingdom. Nice property and a very fair price for Koh Chiang. But your advice regarding a solicitor is correct the island can be very compacted compared to the mainland...Sorry for being a bit long winded Pete.

Nice
