Pro Tip: Don’t buy condos in Bangkok. After a few years they become notoriously hard to sell on at the market rate.

[@loduke3905]

@@dongshengdi773 That's your prerogative, BUD. You're looking at UPSCALE apartments close to city centers in Thailand. If you think living in Texas is ANY way equivalent, you're not just narrow minded zionist who is LACKING CULTURE. Additionally, you can spend all that money to live in a backwards ass state while your cost of living are sky high and your purchasing power is not remotely comparable. Lastly, NO ONE GIVES A DAMN that you want to live in the states, expand your little world or cope harder.

[@Visor8888]

Assuming this a paid advertisement for Noble. Someone was paid indirectly or directly for this advert. You should put the tag paid advertisement in the top left of the video.

[@bengmelea8646]

I brought a condo unit in the very first highrise that Noble did back in 1997. I snapped it up cheap after the economic crisis Thailand was going through back then. Some hints I could pass on to any potential foreign buyers 1) consider buying only if you plan to keep it very long term in Thailand and/or rent it out as an investment. Do not expect any potential capitals gains. 2) apart from the bricks, mortar and flashy condo facilities that can easily seduce you ask about their monthly common area fee, sinking fund and an English translation of their "Condo rules and regulations" that Noble (or the developer) wrote and registered with the Lands Dept. You may find these add significantly to the cost and some crazy - even illegal, rules in there. Ask what company was contracted to manage the condo? and who is the Juristic Manager? Many developers will set up a subsidiary company under a different name with the exact same directors and shareholders and contract this company using their own employees to be juristic manager and condo management staff. For very new condos co-owners do not yet know their neighbours and so are none the wiser of what is going on behinds the scenes. At the AGM they do not know that the people volunteering to be voted in on the condo board are all in fact employees of the developer as the developer will still own condo units/floor area and so maintain voting rights. This sets up a conflict of interest and will be fully used by the developer to forward their interests over those of other co-owners including not paying their common area fees for any of the developer's unsold condos. Under the Thai Condominium Act 1979 only the Juristic manager can sign legal documents such as contracts for management company, security guards, lift maintenance contract, etc including hiring lawyers to lodge law suits against a developer! Good luck with that if the JM is an employee whose being paid by the developer! If Condo rules contravene the Condo Act then to get them changed requires a 75% AGM majority vote and the JM to sign off on them when lodged with the Lands Dept. Yes catch 22! There are a lot of hidden pitfalls for the unaware so do your due diligence!

[@bengmelea8646]

@@moonlightmistandmemories9623 For Thailand condo owners condo Common Area fees are typically paid on an annual basis and the cost amount depends on the square meter size of your condo. I pay 26,000 baht annually for my 50sqm Noble condo which is walking distance from the Phayathai BTS station (very central Bangkok). There are also "Sinking Fund" fees and the condo directors could also add one-off additional fees to replace lifts, paint the condo, seal leaking wall cracks, replace water/wastewater/fire sprinkler pipes etc.

[@gregh7457]

Do you think dealing with a large company like Noble or companies with a good track record is better at protecting owners against HOA fiasco's you've mentioned? I've had some bad experiences with hoa's in hawaii so i know its hard to avoid the pitfalls wherever a $ can be made/stolen from unsuspecting owners

[@bengmelea8646]

@@gregh7457 My advice is to buy an older condo (5 years +) and avoid altogether the developer big players who are still trying to sell their condo units in their newly constructed building (and therefore maintain voting rights at the AGM). The existing unit owners will be familiar with their building and the management company. Avoid a condo whereby it is managed by the condo developer (albeit under a different company name unknown to most condo owners) as the developer can register with the Thai Lands Dept. to manage the condo for a set number of years after they have sold the first condo unit.

[@jamesbarr2357]

Pete, excellent comment. I could write a book on the pitfalls of buying a condo. I have looked at countless "opportunities" but still rent. Recently, I had my lawyer do the due diligence on a development. They completed their investigation satisfactorily and asked to see the purchase contract. The developer refused to provide this without receiving a non-refundable 50,000 "booking fee". I declined their offer.

[@Visor8888]

One of the riskiest investments is a Bangkok condo. 1. The long term ROI isn’t amazing 2. Rentals in BKK are ultra competitive in the renters favour 3. Since a lot of these condo are shoeboxes. You could have a crap neighbours left, right, up and down and there’s not much you can do. 4. The heat effects the outside of the building and it’s a wish and a prayer that the freeholder maintains the premises in the long term. 5 Loads more issues that I can’t fit it. Don’t do it. Just rent!

Totally agree. I love Bangkok and Thailand but id never buy a condo here. Having rented short term in so many of them, ive seen how even the higher end stuff can just fall apart if not maintained properly and there's nothing you can really do about it if you're unlucky.

[@jamesbarr2357]

These new condos are over-priced shoeboxes. Two bedrooms in 34 square metres - that's insane. Many new condo buildings are nothing more than a tower of identical shoeboxes in the sky. Every unit has the same fittings and finishes; when you sell, you have to hope that demand exceeds supply. Good luck with that - "hope" is not a strategy! Another point. The developers often have a float of around 20% to sell once the "off plan" sales are exhausted. To move these unsold units, they run “promotions". I have visited buildings where the "promotion" price is at least a 20% discount on the original asking price. By all means buy a condo in Thailand, but you need to do extensive due diligence to establish the reality of supply and demand. This is not easy as you cannot consult a public register of recorded sales. And finally, the ongoing maintenance of the building depends entirely on the desire of your co-owners/neighbours to keep the common areas in best condition and thus maintain the value of the building. Chok dee and sup with a very long spoon 😀.

Yes average condo size is getting smaller. I understand that building law in Bangkok limits self-contained condos to 28sqm!

I really like this video. Just goes to show how far you’ve gone with this KZbin channel. The prices for those condos are competitive against similar properties stateside for singles working from home. I consider Thailand to be the best neutral ground for business with Chinese citizens as foreigners won’t be hassled and Chinese citizens can do business without CCP looking over their shoulders to take their cut. Foreigners trying to rent out their units will have to compete with the other 51% Thai ownership playing the same game, so their return will probably be less than mortgage rate-but only chumps would pay mortgage in Thailand. Better to buy it outright, live in it while property appreciates in equity. Just do due diligence in checking long term stability issues regarding the property. The recent election does show good indicator of political stability as no violence occurred during the vote. I don’t have time to list other risks. You’re doing a great service for Thailand with your videos… keep up the good work! If I had the money, I’d live there too.

If you buy a condo in Thailand you pay, on an annual basis, the "common area fee" and this is based on the floor area of your condo. The common area fee pays for the security guards, cleaners (of the common areas), pool and garden upkeep, maintenance personnel, and condo management personnel salaries. When you buy a condo you also pay the "sinking fund" which are big cost items that periodically crop up like replacing lifts, painting the condo, replacing pipes, etc. I purchased a 50sqm central Bangkok city Noble condo and pay a common area fee of about 26,000 baht per year.

Hi Chris, recently discovered your channel and I’m really enjoying your content. Myself and my family are thinking of coming out in the autumn. I have two young children (2yo & 6months). Can you do a video on tips for young families holidaying and getting around Thailand please? Many thanks, Chris

Finally finally finally, something a bit more lifestyle focused for those willing to spend a bit more.

All these condos you show are really nice. But why don’t you show some condos for someone that doesn’t have a money tree 🙏

[@Kaaru5344]

Kitchens are just to small.

My advice. Don't buy. Rent. You can always walk away from a rental. Thailand is a country I'm considering for retirement. If you really want to buy. Speak to someone (not the builder or realtor as they are not disinterested parties) who actually owns there or rents there and ask their opinion about the building and management, any special assessments etc. Westerners (like me) are conditioned to believe that home ownership is the way to go. Most times yes, however not in a country where you can't completely own a house and where condos have control of hoa fees etc. Protect your retirement money. Good Luck.

Seems more and more of your videos are advertising under the guide of information. Are u on commission for these shoe boxes in the sky?

Ugh why am I not buying in Thailand !!!! That’s so cheap! I need to sort myself out. I have 100K just sitting in a short term investment fund. I definitely need to rethink things….

[@aaronlee4913]

Invest your 100k somewhere else and take those profits to pay the rent in Thailand.
