INVESTMENT:

The Thai property market represents excellent potential for real estate investment.

The relatively undiscovered nature of Thailand means that property prices in Thailand remain well below those of other worldwide locations. Thailand property provides a profit-rich environment, boasting some encouraging capital growth figures of around 10-15% per annum. Today, many buyers are discovering the great potential Thailand offers as an excellent real estate investment opportunity.

The key drivers behind the Thai housing market are the rapid economic growth the country is experiencing and the expected increase in tourism that Thailand will undergo as a direct result of further property development. Despite the terrible Tsunami disaster of 2004, the Thai property sector seems to be less damaged than anticipated with only a 31% drop in property transactions since the disaster. What is more, real estate prices have continued to rise in sought after locations and high quality projects have reported increases in sales over the past 3 months. The country has been keen to encourage tourism and overseas investment, particularly since the Tsunami disaster.

Thailand is often considered to be the most popular Asian tourist destination. Tourism figures are very near the level they were at pre-tsunami and investment in high-demand tourist areas is a highly attractive option for property purchasers and buy-to-let investors alike.
