Investing in Thailand: A How-To Guide

Are you considering investing in Thailand?
Good idea, here are the solutions available to you.

Why invest in Thailand: a wise choice

Thailand is a magnificent country that boasts numerous advantages: mild weather, idyllic beaches, lush nature, refined cuisine, modern infrastructure (including hospitals)...

The Thai people are also welcoming. This exceptional living environment is all the more appealing because the cost of living is two to three times lower than in France. Many European retirees have chosen to spend their retirement there, purchasing a villa or apartment to live in year-round or for several months each year.

Investing in Thailand is also a wise choice for rental properties. The country's economy is booming, and the former Kingdom of Siam is among the top 10 tourist destinations in the world, welcoming over 35 million tourists annually. This popularity fuels the demand for vacation rentals. It's therefore easy to rent out your property when it's vacant, generating a steady income.

And all this with complete peace of mind, since Obsido Immo offers personalized and comprehensive rental management services. Given the country's dynamism and the quality of its housing stock, all the conditions are also in place for your property to continue appreciating in value, allowing you to realize a significant capital gain upon a potential resale. 

Investing in an apartment or a villa?

invest in Thailand

The Thai real estate market is very healthy, boasting numerous advantages and attractions. It is characterized by the diversity of its offerings. Driven by growing demand, the market comprises residences, condominiums, and villas, making it possible to meet all needs and projects.

As a foreigner, you can acquire a small studio in a condominium or a huge villa with breathtaking sea views.

Many of the properties available for sale or rent are brand new. As such, they meet the most demanding Western standards in terms of layout, finishes, location, and quality of services. In the vast majority of residences and developments, you will benefit from a swimming pool, fitness and wellness areas, concierge services, cleaning services, security systems, and more.

There is one last, but not least, advantage: the price. Despite the quality of its offerings, Thai real estate remains very affordable. It's always difficult to give precise figures since the price per square meter is linked to the property's rental status and overall quality, but you can become the owner of a beautiful, ideally located apartment starting from €60.000. As for villas, you can expect to pay a third, or even a quarter, of what you would pay in France for similar properties. And on top of all that, there's the very favorable tax system.
