We live in a new pool Villa we bought about 18 months ago. We paid around 4.3 million baht as we we decided to downsize from a larger villa we own here already. Our neighbors who decided to return to Vietnam and been in their house less than a year just sold it for over a million baht more than they paid for it and had multiple bidders and offers. Not a bad return. Our other bigger pool villa here we actually rent out and are constantly getting agents asking us to sell at a substantial premium to the 8 million baht we paid two years ago. Great place to park your money. Am married to a Thai American and we do have a legit Thai company that owns the land with a real business, employees and that pays taxes. Our neighbor who sold had a lease on the land as they aren’t Thai but it didn’t seem to impair the value at all.
Looks like you are on a winner. There are mixed stories. Much depends what you have and the area you are in. Being married to a Thai, I would expect you would have the alternative place the property under your wife's name with an Usufruct as well. Thanks for the comment.
I think the global weather patterns affect everyone. Huge El Nino going on right now and areas throughout the world are experiencing changes in normal weather....
