@@luxuryseaviewvillas6744 Those who are truly wealthy know how to protect their money. Buying real estate in Thailand is not a smart thing to do. Everyone wants a new home there..not a used one..and if you need to sell your property it may sit for years without a buyer..until you lower the price so much you lose money. Go look at how many beautiful pre-owned expensive homes are for sale with no buyers for years because every day a NEW expensive home is built..so why bother getting a used one? Renting is the smartest thing to do in Thailand.

Let me offer a balanced view here. While I am all for owning a house in Koh Samui, I have to admit that it is not for everyone, and that one needs to consider a few things very carefully. I fail to see why people would spend so much money for what are objectively relatively poor offerings. Admittedly, you may get a stunning view, but most houses like the ones presented have a very small footprint, because land is so expensive, and the price tag is quite hefty, especially for a holiday house that will not be used more than a few weeks per year. Our case is different. We live in Bangkok, and we own a nice villa in Samui: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a private pool, a car bay and a decent sized garden. Our villa cost a lot less to build than those advertised, and it is considerably more pleasant (or so it appears to me anyway). No sea view, but who cares about that, really? The “Foreigners cannot own land” thing never was an issue for us, and now that there is an excellent night ferry service between Sattahip and Nathon, we can much more easily come over with the car for short stays (5-15 days), making our villa all the more pleasant and attractive.

Love the vids, but I don’t understand…seems marketed to foreigners, but foreigners can’t own land. So are these meant for Thai citizens or is the land leased? Please help clarify. As a foreigner, I would love to buy in Thailand, but don’t understand how this all works. Thanks brother.

There are hundreds of thousands of foreigners who own houses in Thailand by proxy, and not one of them has ever had a problem in the many decades people have been doing so.

Hi Chris, I have been watching your videos for quite a while now. I really like your content. I am looking to retire in Koh Samui in the next 3-6 months. From what I see in a lot of the videos and photo, it appears to be overcast there quite often and blue skies a rare occasion. As someone who has lived there for as long as you have, can you tell me if this is true or it just appears that way?

1) long term rentals are a thing and way more popular than “buying” something other than a condo. 2) The Commerce Ministry is cracking down hard on the whole grey nominee Thai business model. 3) Thailand is literally a housing market that embodies the notion that if it sounds too good to be true… 4) Villas all looked cool af. 5) If you do decide to look into property do yourself a favor and pay someone to goto the Land office and do deed backgrounds to see how many times over a 20 year period said property was bought/sold…..then ask yourself why. 6) me? Got a kid here and been renting since 2014. I’ve done the math enough to know it doesn’t jive with the socio-economic vibe in SE Asia. 7) TiT always and forever 🙏🏼

Hi, I'm a Thai person, I have some want to tell you, is that in our country there are other tourists coming from many countries, including people from your country, I want to help them as much as you can, Thai people will help as much as I can, I want them to go home, some people have children, I pity them at home, I don't have much money, but I can't bear to see them who are in tears, I want to ask you and all Thai people and other tourists to help them get home and finally wish you a fun trip (nowhere is as warm as home).
