Are you toying with the idea of buying or renting property in Bangkok, but you’re not quite sure if it’s the right move for you? If so, you wouldn’t be the first, and you certainly won’t be the last. But when asked, why Bangkok? We might simply respond with: when there is something for everyone in this vibrant and beautiful cocktail of culture, why not? If it’s what you want to do, then you’ll be able to find plenty of reasons to do so. Finding reason not to on the other hand, is something that you’ll struggle with.
That being said, perhaps you’re not interested in moving, but see Bangkok as being a potential investment opportunity. In which case, you’d be absolutely correct. Bangkok has long been one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, so buying a central condominium is a great opportunity to see a return through holiday rentals, whilst turning a delicious profit on top.
Or, if you’re not so fussed about the money, but simply have fallen in love with the place, then you’ll be all too aware of how such a big move can be incredibly daunting, particularly for Westerners who have never lived anywhere other than their home country. So, it’s completely understandable to be feeling overwhelmed by the prospect. Perhaps you’ve visited Bangkok several times in the past and you’ve fallen in love with the place. With such a colourful culture, bustling nightlife and a world-renowned cuisine, it’s difficult not to! But how viable is it to uproot your life and move to the other side of the world? More so than you’d imagine!
Simply put: if you love Thailand and the city of Bangkok, and you want to make a change, then what better a way than moving to such a fascinating and exotic location? Certainly, there is much in the way of research and preparation involved before making the move, but you shouldn’t let that put you off. When you finally touch down and get settled into your new river-view condo in the heart of Bangkok, your patience and perseverance will have been worthwhile. That said, it’s really not as difficult as it sounds!

Should I buy or rent Bangkok Property?
Ultimately it depends on the type of property and what kind of visa that you’ll be on. Naturally you can’t just make the decision to buy a house and then move into it without acquiring the correct documentation, there is a lot more to it (again, we can guide you through that). But buying and renting really depends on your budget, the duration that you’d like to stay and much more!
For example, you may wish to buy a condo, so that you can stay several times a year, whilst renting it out the rest of the time. Or alternatively, you might not want to fully commit to Bangkok, and so would prefer to rent temporarily whilst you make a final decision.
