Otherwise all you will get is Nirun, Karot 9, Spanish Place, Lalana etc Yes, those are familiar names..if you do a nationwide search in bahtsold for condos under a million, you will see some in those buildings. Let's see some cheapies in a building less than 10 years old...likely some kind of <deleted> they were selling to the Russians..small, too, with locations not as good as the fabled Spanish Place. 899k 22 sm, view of a hill, or worse, and Soviet style architecture with a few palm trees. Would seem like paradise if you were coming out of the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are some of the listings confusing price and downpayment? Yes..believe it or not, it’s right. I’ve looked before and these are the units that will rent for about ฿1,000-1,200. The P/E ratio is good but can you imagine the headache of needing to own dozens of them to have a modest income? The common (monthly) fees are in the neighborhood of ฿300 per some of the listings. 99% of the units listed at these low prices are in fact down payments (it will say so in the ad) on condos...some as low as 450-500k condos...which are actually much nicer than the ones actually for sale at these prices. Here’s the cheapest I could find on DD property....฿149,000 https://www.ddproperty.com/en/property/ทรัพย์-บสส-รหัส-8z1829-ห้องชุดพักอาศัย-กรุงเทพมหานคร-149000-for-sale-7336233 So, if your girlfriend won’t stop pestering you to buy her a condo...show her ones like these.

moontang Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 There are some for 80k in Phatum Thani on the krungsriproperty site. Eventually, the courts/tambon will step in and raise the fees enough to keep the water flowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only 'apartment' I saw for less than RMB200k (~USD30k) looked like it was about this standard. IIRC it was 20m2 & about USD25k. *Idly because foreigners in China on a tourist/study visa can't buy property... & everything was horribly expensive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is real-estate that Kasikorn already have repossessed and since Kasikorn now is the owner of said 70 billion baht of property it appears it is no longer (fully) listed as NPL. Kasikorn is reporting 94.4 billion in NPL, but of that only 20% is real-estate related. https://kasikornbank.com/en/IR/FinanInfoReports 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
