Should we buy this home in Paknampran, Thailand? (9.8 million baht ~ $280,000 USD)

[@joeshmooo5327]

I like the property, but the back of the house being open and not knowing what is going to be built would make it a tough NO.

[@albertinsinger7443]

Neighbors are very close. Construction is standard quality. Remember in Thailand the price is in the land not the house.

[@pointblankracer6274]

Just know that its costs foreigners more to Buy the same house/Condo than Thai people and that when you go to sell it that this also becomes a factor as Thai people will not pay as much to buy yours as you paid more for it. Renting is the go too, as you will probably hear.

[@mixalis6168]

Who said that ? hahahahahahah

[@jermb8326]

Buying is beautiful, selling is a nightmare. So don’t buy just rent!

[@nickmondo222]

firstly, i wish you luck in selling yours. It wont be easy, sorry. Regarding the potential move.........Paknampran is very remote. Go and rent somewhere there for a couple of months, see how you like it. I have lived in HH area a long time now, PNP is one of my favourite places to visit, and SRY, but living there.............no thanks.

[@oderblock]

exactely

[@jamesbarr2357]

Spot on. I've inspected condos along this coast. Resale is all but impossible.

Renting is much better & easier

Buying is just so Stupid.

[@mixalis6168]

Rent of you want, buy if you want !! Everyone is different !!

[@jamesbarr2357]

@@mixalis6168 I agree, but you need to understand the financial consequences of 'buying' before committing to a purchase contract . Paying a 'freehold' price for a 30 year lease makes zero sense. Also, it is extremely difficult to determine market prices since there is no public register of property transactions, and 99.99% of agents are not going to help you. I have looked at condos on this coastline and nothing seems to sell. Also, there are many villas for sale. It is too far from Bangkok for Thai purchasers. Finally, there is very limited occupational demand to justify Thais buying as an investment. No investor wants an empty property. As I said above, sup with a very, very long spoon.

[@StuF-r2l]

@mixalis6168 you are correct.. some are different in they are Stupid

[@PXX-t1j]

I think it's a ridicoulous expensive! A home should be avaliable for 3,000,000 baht, then you should get a good house. Okay beach, still don't think it's worth it.

[@hugohunte2545]

I always though that the property you did buy would be for a holiday break but maybe not enough for a lifetime of living ( nice as it is) as mentioned before my wife and I are planning to retire in Hua Hin we will rent for a while before finding a place to buy so would be interesting finding a forever home which may or may not be close to Hua Hin city centre . Will still be great to catch up with you and Dave once we arrive

[@kimberleyssandbox]

That would be wonderful!!! Reach out when you make your plans for travel and we can coordinate!!!

[@hugohunte2545]

That’s great thanks again see you guys in a few months

[@videonut1963]

I have been watching Thai real estate for years and I must say I was not expecting that this house is amazing especially for the price as long as there’s places to go eat nearby I would jump in

[@randyirvine5858]

Hi Kimberley. Moving on up in the world? I know you like the beach but for the same price in Hang Dong, Chiang Mai you get a brand new, architect designed, two storey home, pool, just saying. Good luck with the sale.🙏

If there wasn't the burning season there, Chiang Mai would be very appealing!!!

Hi Kimberly - We are planning a trip to Thailand next year & need some advice if possible - Which form of transport do you suggest from Bangkok to Hua Hin return, Plane, Train or Bus & what time of the year ia preferable to visit - Regards Pierre & Glynis

[@kimberleyssandbox]

Hello Perre & Glynis! Thank you for joining me on my channel! I love mid December to end of March. Rainy season is end of September to the beginning of December. You can do a private car from bkk to Hua Hin for 1600 baht or bus for around 250 per person.

[@pierremuzerie2811]

@kimberleyssandbox Thanks for the info Kimberly - A last query then you can continue with your day 🤣🤣🤣🤣 - Do you perhaps have any recommended accommodation & location preferences in HH

[@kimberleyssandbox]

@pierremuzerie2811 Glad to assist! That is a big question. It depends on what you want to do, if you like being in the center, in tourist area or want more quiet, by beach or out of town and what your budget is.... ;)

[@pierremuzerie2811]

Merci Madame

[@t.q.6639]

Lovely property! I hope you guys buy this one.

[@jamesbarr2357]

9.8 million baht for a 30 year lease... 😕. That is a terrible proposition. Also, it is not a good buy as a freehold due to its isolated location. Sup with a very, very long spoon.

[@tookay5]

looks great but not too keen on the grey theme (always seems depressing to me) , and could be costly if you wanted to change that. Will be interesting to see how you navigate this purchase if you proceed. Seems pricey if it's just a leasehold. If you were a thai buyer this would be the price including the land rights.

[@kathleenkalt3852]

It's a beautiful house but it was very noisy. Having said that, I live in Florida and keep the doors and windows shut most of the year because I need the air conditioning on.

Is this a condo set up ? Or is land leased ?

[@onelifefreedom5646]

I can't help you to make a decision that's your own choice to do but I can advise you to research very good buying a house in Thailand usually you can't own any land and if there is a possibility to do so , dig very deep into it bevor making a decision

[@harrytheone1954]

Do like the thais do and offer 8 million baht. Don't forget may have to pay tax bringing money into Thailand, then its mega expensive.

[@robertcain3426]

Just rent. You can move when feel like a new experience. Many reasons to rent, rather than buy. Cheers

[@orawanjan3442]

[@varythings]

don't waste your money, even when you have enough of them

[@ELITETRADEr294]

when you sell it you need to goto court and prove where you got the money from , this happens alot , if you buy it thought a thai law firm , and keep allyour bank account details , is a tip, but just rent , if there a pandemic you can run home fast,

[@sandro63]

What a beautiful home and in a very peaceful area and for that price. You would have to be very lucky to find a two bedroomed flat in my country for that price and surely not with those open views. Wish you luck should you decide to go for it 👍

Don't buy. your just guest in their country. if they say leave , you have to go.

@@mixalis6168 You cannot buy a freehold/chanote title in Thailand as a non -Thai. Registering a company to purchase the freehold with Thai nominees holding 51% is illegal. The authorities are cracking down on this practice extensively.

[@jamesbarr2357]

Correct. You can own the structure of a house and register this 'ownership' at the Land Department, but you cannot own the land. Strikes me as being akin to owning the body of a car but not the chassis and wheels. Non -Thais with a Thai spouse do this to give themselves some 'protection' in the event of divorce.
