Buy a Resort Condo in Hua Hin, Thailand, for Just $40,000 USD (1.37M Baht)

[@JOHNNYSD-43]

The first golden rule in Thailand is to avoid buying property/land as investment (or getting married). Renting is so affordable that taking on such a risk hardly seems worth it. The only scenario where I might consider it would be gifting some land to my girlfriend, perhaps in her village, if we’ve been together for many years, so she has a secure place to stay when she’s older

[@stormmcmadden9621]

💯 rent is so cheap with 0 risk

[@Arizonatravelboywonder]

How about rent a girl/wife and condo ? Any deals ?

[@nickgrace5363]

It’s $40k. What’s the risk vs $40 k in the U.S. you ll survive if a loss is only $40k. In Thailand. I’ll take the risk anyways due to , I spend much more than $40k here to live in the U.S. for 1 year 🤣.

[@drifter8800]

Whats wrong with marrying, theres not many laws around it here

[@markroe2706]

Thanks Jonny I will probably retire to Thailand. I am looking for a place to stay and transportation i.e. electric vehicle for the total sum of between 50 to 60,000 US. I initially thought I would rent and get a motorbike. Now with the popularity of EV’s in Thailand and not knowing how long I will live maybe my better option is buy a place to stay rather than rent. It was nice to see the charger at the beginning of the video. How far would this be to soi bintebaht?

[@antonr.7776]

Renting it for long term for 8 or 9 000 definetely worth it. Having a nice condo for that price avoiding all the hassel and concern that comes with a purchase

[@Jeezy1302]

I absolutely love this condo-it's perfect for me as a single person! I truly hope I can find something similar at the same price or even lower by January 2026. I wish I could make the move right now! I’m planning to relocate to Thailand from the US in January 2026, and by then, I aim to have saved enough to purchase a small condo like this and start a new chapter. I can’t wait! Thank you so much, Jonny, for sharing videos like these-they’re incredibly helpful. And a big thank you to the realtor as well for showcasing such great options!

[@Jackjack72758]

Same with me I’m moving to Pattaya for first year then deciding what I will do. I also plane on traveling throughout Asia but my home base will be Thailand. And possibly Philippines or Vietnam Well see. Cant wait

[@djxs666]

I've been visiting, living in, or living next door to Thailand for the past over 20 years. I love Thailand. Yet I'd be incredibly reluctant to purchase a condo. And I definitely wouldn't do it with long-term investment in mind, because it typically doesn't work out well unless you get something for an incredible bargain at a unique time, such as during and just after the Asian financial crisis or when the exchange rate was over 38 THB = 1 USD fairly recently. If I had money to spare and found a special deal on one of the more quality builds at a very favorable time for a 50+ square meter condo, I might do it...but only, possibly, then. All that glitters isn't gold. And never pay more than what it would cost to rent a place for about 15 years: 20,000/month x 12 x 15 = 3.6M THB; for example, if a place costs 20,000 THB a month to rent, I wouldn't consider buying unless I could purchase for 3.6M or less. It's just so nice to be able to move every few years and to not have to worry about maintenance or major issues, or if the juristic office is doing a crummy mgmt job to say adios without being chained to the place.

[@fastj1962]

Havent seen you in a long time. Not sure why you quit showing up in my feed but you did. Good to see you are still killing it

[@krisjelenga821]

Yes me too.but onto it again

[@paulkennedy4238]

I stayed in the first building, same design , good for a holiday not to live in full time too small

[@johnnorman1793]

One issue i noticed with the condo. The place on the kitchen bench where you would put a gas cooker, or electric induction cooker, is directly below an overhead cabinet, and there is NO range hood, or exhaust fan whatsoever. When cooking, especially frying, you would have to open the kitchen window, if there is one.? and have a pedestal fan or such like to blow the smoke and steam etc out the window, otherwise the whole studio apartment would be filled with cooking smells, and the bottom of the overhead cabinet would be covered in grease and crap in no time.!

[@ronkeeney1752]

Oldish project studio condo. IMHO renting is better than buying since investing in Thailand. I think the peer should consider renting it.

[@adc5897]

Jonny you the best. It’s a surprise an Aussie tv network hasn’t drafted you as the next Steve Irwin yet!

[@michaelvanvleet998]

40 grand and i have to go downstairs to use coin laundry. Not for me. Hope to be in Hua Hin before Christmas.

[@changnoiboi]

First world problems

[@samuelcraig]

and I'd call it a studio tbh

[@michaelj2528]

Great job jonny , hope the family are all well

[@DSbadger10]

Thanks for showing this one. Great location, and pool, but just a bit to small.

[@BrandenLesko]

Not a bad price. A good place to escape to from the burning season months in the north and central areas in Thailand. I stayed in a similar studio apartment in Cha-Am.

[@nilsrbenjamin]

Hey Jonny ! That’s not a kitchen ! It’s a small room with a sink ! Come on brother ! But I guess you get what you pay for, right ? Ha ha thanks for another great insight to Hua Hin…

[@BenjySparky]

Jonny, you rock! Love the channel and content. Peace 🤘🍻💨💨

[@TimK2646]

Love your Thumbnail Jonny.

[@johnny_bravo9990]

Isn't that his wife

[@js7un165]

But then after the $40,000, how much do you pay per month after that? Are the HOA maintenance fees expensive?

[@johnmellyn2700]

Somebody didn’t watch the entire video

[@lecannet]

HOA doesn't exist in TH STOP bloody asking about it! Its NOT the US! its CAM fees and its 50$psq mt😂 for farang!

[@blind.dog2019]

13 year old condo which has never been rented! what is wrong with the condo or location? Good price, bad investment as it is showing $0 return on investment.

[@changnoiboi]

Safe to assume that the condo has been owner occupied for that period of time.

[@BlogTechSupport]

Ok, so you could buy it for Som, right? She's already having fun at the pool and like you mentioned it. It's a steal.

[@harleyss475]

You really can’t go wrong

[@ZeekmanEats]

Thats a nice Condo. I will be looking for a 1 bedroom at some point.

[@vgshwk]

Good location the things I noticed was the step between the bedroom and the kitchen I would probably get up in the middle of the night stubbing my toe because I forgot about the step between. Also I would prefer the tv near the bed.

[@Reporterfy]

Nice video keep these up

[@GregTeachesEnglish]

We've been around the Hilton for a few days and haven't spotted you yet 😅

[@joahash7411]

Thanks Jonny

[@Jon.......]

$40,000 USD ... Got It! But what is the monthly maintenance / association fee? Oh ... about $39/month.

[@lecannet]

Please show us more 50$AUD condos brother ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 Not a bad place this1...

[@changnoiboi]

Looks great mate.

[@anthonycarney7849]

U wouldn’t get a garden shed here for that money a great game of rugby yesterday well it was for me I am irsh 😊😊

[@TheSnookman]

[@ViewTalay]

Good deal and you could tart it up a bit

[@mrbHanoi]

1.37 milliion is $40000 Always offer. 10% below asking

[@GoPoundSalt]

[@paulkennedy4238]

Pool is good 👍

[@billyjohnson9166]

Jonny my wife and I were in Hua Hin six weeks ago but after a couple weeks the traffic got to me. What’s going on? I don’t remember it like that.

[@Arizonatravelboywonder]

Jonny is it near wonderland? If so I will take it

[@paulcowin233]

Sofa is in front of the table, that's a bit odd, how can you watch TV😮

[@pawineepusri9111]

You’ll have half the world interested in this one!

[@karltraveldude7817]

Super location and a great deal ! Thank you for sharing Jonny ...

[@MichaelRichard-o9r]

Prefer that to renting

[@nickmondo222]

nice to see a correctly priced property. also nice to see an agent without the normal bullshit. I have rented here in the past, so has my gf. Sq m, is correct, and an accurate description. Beach is not far, but very dodgy main road to cross. Best to walk to Blueport and cross there. When i rented there, I was there on holiday, so short term rents are possible, so bear that in mind. Might not be a good thing.

[@BackRoadStoneRevival]

Jonny!!

[@craigwest4741]

Not bad , good for a FIFO 👍🦘🇦🇺

[@randyirvine5858]

They all go to Pattaya🤣

[@randyirvine5858]

You get what you pay for Jonny😉

[@alexandros4703]

As a w/end holiday home - fine. To live in, I don't think so, too claustrophobic.

[@natesquestyouknowthatsrigh8269]

😊

[@Li-nf2gz]

I thought foreigners couldn't buy there

[@BrandenLesko]

You can't buy the land, but you can do 30-year lease terms with usufruct on the home. In many cases, you can negotiate to renew the lease at the end of term. Many foreigners put the land in their Thai wife or partner's name. They build a home and have a lawyer draft up an agreement, which states that you're the owner of the dwelling and have the right to live in it until you're deceased, the lease expires, or until ownership can be transferred to your Thai children when they've reached 20 years of age. As for condos, you can own it in your name (many have foreigner ownership quotas)...just need to pay the annual maintenance fees.

[@martyrobinson6500]

Lucky its not in Mexico it would be Hose A & Hose B . lol

[@davexx1861]

i think too expensive ...give me your best price....i from Australia

[@davidgc4396]

Looked nice and good value 😊

[@stevemyers2092]

if you want to live in a bedroom

[@talentseekrs]

To small for 40k and hate the bathroom off the kitchen.

[@markhuizinga4993]

Jonny should buy this condo for when he needs a break from his 10 Thai wives nagging him 24/7 !! hahahaha. Gr8 video Jonny as always.

[@antruok4950]

Good value for that location Nice work Jonny Holmes 🤩 Thanks for sharing

[@eChicken-k6d]

Guarantee Khrap....10 years will be worth zerro. No maintenance on these cheap Shyte.

[@peterhannon9972]

Why put yourself at risk if you can rent so cheaply? You own nothing in thailand. Rent it's cheaper.

[@yaijom]

It’s a hotel room .

[@bobwelo]

[@peterhannon9972]

A bathroom off the kitchen? No thanks it's a bad layout

[@PedrosmsPedrosms]

It's a dog box, too small to live in. Sorry!!

[@oderblock]

this is not a balcony. furniture is simple, tasteless. price is excellent. his english, he is in the top 10 percent range of thais speaking english. they are not capable of speaking english.

[@changnoiboi]

How's your Thai?

[@oderblock]

@@changnoiboi i do not speak thai. it is an economy totally depending on tourists. if you as thai system are not able or willing to have your folks speak english, so be it

[@bryanbrown8079]

$40k for a hotel room… nah!
