If you like a laid-back lifestyle, you must come and buy a Thai property. Thai real estate with permanent property rights, no inheritance tax and low prices is the best choice for China people to buy their own homes overseas.
In recent years, real estate purchase in Thailand is no longer a patent in Europe and America. The advantages of permanent property rights, no inheritance tax, fine decoration, loans from foreigners and low down payment threshold attract more and more China people. But why buy a house in Thailand? What kind of people are suitable for buying Thai real estate?
Studying abroad: "providing for the elderly with a house", using the appreciation of the house to make up for the cost of studying abroad.
Now China people pay more and more attention to their children's education, and most people prefer to let their children study abroad. Children's education has become an important driving force for people to buy homes in Thailand.
The quality of international education in Thailand is in the leading position in the world, and the major international universities in Bangkok account for the vast majority. In various rankings in the world, almost all famous universities in Europe and America, led by many international universities in Bangkok, can be among the best.
100, nearly half of international schools can directly enter major universities in Europe and America. Quality education in Thailand attracts many China students to study in Thailand thousands of miles away, which is not only the pursuit of children, but also the wish of parents.
But the cost of studying abroad is a bit expensive. In addition to tuition, the accommodation fee for studying abroad is also a big expense. Now, China families with certain wealth accumulation and investment ideas will choose to let their children study in Thailand.
"Providing for the aged with housing" means to support children to study abroad by buying a house overseas, that is, to buy a house overseas and make up for the cost of studying abroad by subletting and appreciating the house.
Studying in Thailand with "home-based education" can not only give children a comfortable living environment, but also subsidize living expenses by renting extra rooms. After children finish their studies, they can resell the house or continue to hold it, and the appreciation of the house can be discounted to offset some tuition fees, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Livable: There are many livable cities, high quality of life and pleasant climate.
Thailand has the best quality of life and the most leisurely lifestyle in the world. In addition, Thailand is also the country with the most livable cities in the world. Chiang Mai, Bangkok and Pattaya rank among the top ten livable cities in the world. Chiang Mai ranked first for five consecutive years, and Thailand ranked first in the world in air quality, with a very high livability index.
Thailand's climate is summer all year round, and there is no cold in winter, which is very suitable for living. This is influenced by various cultural environments, including the Hua Hin Royal Holy Land Botanical Garden, which is extremely rich in species, and the continuous coastline. The beach culture is extremely strong, and skateboarding, surfing and sunbathing are not repeated 365 days a year.
The unemployment rate in Thailand has remained at around 5% for a long time, so don't worry about not finding a job in Thailand. Thailand's salary level has been rising in recent years, and Thailand's welfare policy is also quite attractive.
It is free to see a doctor in a public hospital in Thailand. A person only needs to pay 700 baht for public medical care every year, of which 200 baht is paid by the royal family. As long as you pay 500 baht, hospitalization is free. In addition, Thai medicines have no intellectual property rights, and anyone can produce them as long as they pass the inspection and are certified by the royal family.
There is a provision in Thai law:
Anyone who manufactures, transports, stores or sells counterfeit drugs will be sentenced to death.
Schools in Thailand implement 15 years of compulsory education, and each student will receive an education subsidy of 500 baht per semester, which can be used to buy books and uniforms. Moreover, in order to increase students' nutrition, Thai schools can receive a box of milk for free every day.
In Thailand, any elderly person over 60 can receive 500 baht subsidy and other benefits every month.
It can be seen that Thailand's welfare policy is still quite distinctive.
Medical treatment: Enjoy the medical environment and services like a five-star hotel.
Thailand's medical service has reached the world leading level. JCI (Joint Commission)
International) is a subsidiary of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of International Health Institutions, which is used to accredit global medical institutions. It can be said to be the gold standard for evaluating the level of hospitals.
Twenty-three hospitals in China have passed JCI certification. In tiny Thailand, there are 36 JCI-certified hospitals.
Take Kang Min Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand as an example. The success rate of treatment in this hospital is the highest in the world, and the proportion of postoperative infection is the lowest.
Even American colleagues praised the medical services in Thailand. Steven Rush, president of Salito Medical Tourism Company in the United States, said, "Many hospitals in Bangkok have reached the highest level in the world, comparable to or even better than the United States!
But seeing a doctor in Thailand is not expensive. China people go to Thailand to see a doctor, and the cost is a quarter of that of going to Europe. An American who runs a restaurant in Shanghai chose to go to Thailand for surgery. His reason is: "I get medical services comparable to those in the United States, but the cost is only one-sixth of that in the United States."
The high-quality medical service in Thailand refers to the private hospitals in Thailand, with resplendent lights, colorful fountains, magnificent halls and the smell of Starbucks coffee in the air. Outside the window, silver beaches and blue sea water extend in the distance. This is not a five-star hotel, but a high-end international hospital in Thailand. When you walk into these hospitals, you won't smell the slightest disinfectant, nor will there be crowds and queues everywhere. People of different skin colors shuttle through it, quiet, peaceful and orderly. Therefore, many middle-class people in China choose to go to Thailand for treatment and enjoy medical services far superior to domestic public hospitals under a reasonable budget.
Investment: pursue high cost performance and high return, and seize real estate investment opportunities.
Thailand, with tourism as the entry point, attracts global buyers; Take the "Belt and Road" construction as an opportunity to strive for more investment; With the long-term friendly relationship between China and China, buyers' confidence in China will be strengthened. Nowadays, investors from China are accelerating to enter the Thai real estate market, not only because of the welcome attitude and superior investment environment of the Thai government, but also because its cost performance and return on investment far exceed the domestic real estate market. But there are so many famous tourist cities in Thailand, and the real estate market in each city has different characteristics. How to choose? Next, we will analyze several major cities in Thailand, including Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket.
Bangkok: Rapid development and limited real estate supply.
Bangkok is the capital and economic center of Thailand, the largest city in Thailand and the second largest central city in Southeast Asia. It has the only stock exchange in Thailand, accounting for 44% of Thailand's total GDP, and dozens of the best universities in Thailand. Bangkok is also one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. In addition, Bangkok Airport has direct flights to major cities in China, and the traffic is very convenient.
The real estate market in Bangkok has developed rapidly and is relatively mature. Most of the world's top 500 foreign companies have branches in Bangkok, and their foreign executives have become the main source of tenants in Bangkok's high-end real estate market. In addition, Bangkok's own population exceeds10 million, and it also concentrates more than 80% of the wealthy class in Thailand. The demand for housing is large, and the supply of new real estate is limited, so the property price is high.
The average price of new apartments is around 18000 yuan/_. An ordinary one-bedroom apartment costs about 600,000 RMB, the monthly rent is about 4,000 RMB, and the rental return rate is about 6%. The buildings along the light rail and subway are the most popular, and the price in the prime location in the city center is the highest, reaching tens of thousands of yuan per square meter.
Pattaya: The most popular tourist destination, suitable for investment.
Pattaya is only 20 minutes' drive from Bangkok Airport 1 hour. The planned high-speed railway from Bangkok Airport to Pattaya is expected to be completed in 20 18, when the journey between the two places will be shortened to 20 minutes. Pattaya airport has also been opened, and there are direct flights to some cities in China. In the future, the direct flights from Pattaya to China will continue to increase to more than 30 cities, and the traffic is very convenient. As Pattaya Airport is a low-cost airport, air tickets are very cheap, which is also an advantage to some extent.
Pattaya is the most popular tourist destination in Thailand, a holiday paradise and a holy place for the elderly. It enjoys the reputation of "Oriental Hawaii", and its colorful night culture attracts tourists from all over the world. The price is moderate, there are more than 20 golf courses and several yacht clubs around, and the nightlife is extremely rich, which is very suitable for self-occupation.
Property tenants are mainly European and American guests, with high quality and high rent. Generally, the house price is relatively low, with an average price of 20,000/_, no pool area, fine decoration and rental return rate of about 8%. Investing in real estate in Pattaya can be described as using the price of fourth-tier cities and enjoying the rent of first-tier cities.
Phuket: The house price is high, which is suitable for investment and self-occupation.
Phuket is a star attraction in Thailand. Because Phuket is located on the Indian Ocean side, the color of seawater is more transparent than other islands and coastal cities in Thailand. Phuket has the second largest international airport in Thailand, with direct flights to some large and medium-sized cities in China and convenient transportation. Thailand has several advanced golf courses and top yacht clubs.
Phuket is the most expensive area in Thailand. There are many mountains and few plains on the island, and the supply of real estate projects is limited, so the house price is relatively high, with an average price of 20,000 yuan/_.
It is also finely decorated, and the rent is close to Pattaya. However, due to the high probability of rainfall in rainy season and the obvious tourist season in Phuket, the rental return rate is about 6.5%.
At present, livable housing has occupied a considerable part of Thailand's population, and the livable population from outside Thailand is also rising, especially in Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket!
Whether it's school housing, livable old-age care, medical tourism or overseas investment, buying Thai real estate has become the choice of more and more people!
It depends.
Because buying a house depends on living or vacationing in Thailand. Moreover, for China people, the state has made it clear that private investment in real estate is not allowed. Thailand requires that the money you buy a house must be remitted from abroad. According to the domestic foreign exchange control policy, it is impossible for local tyrants to buy apartments in cash, and they can use cash for 30 years.
Thailand thinks that the housing price in a big city like Bangkok is not cheaper than that in China, and the apartment price in Chiang Mai is almost 20,000 RMB per square meter. The price of a popular tourist destination like Phuket is similar to that mentioned above, but the price of the seaside and Phuket Town is still very different.
If you have lived in Thailand for more than five years, buying a house is naturally a choice, because although the house price in Thailand is not cheap, the rent-to-sale ratio in big cities is still cost-effective. Basically, the cost can be recovered by renting 15 years, but this is only limited to Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, and even the small town of Hua Hin near Bangkok.
Bangkok also needs to find a good location near the subway. In addition, many people know that foreigners can only buy apartments and rent villas in Thailand, and foreigners with independent land cannot buy villas.
But it is still very reliable to negotiate the price and rent it to him for 30 years, because your name will be written on the title deed as a long-term tenant.
Don't tell me that starting a company can buy land. That's the most unsafe method. Thailand still has a lot of real estate knowledge that ordinary people don't know. For example, some land can be bought and sold without title deed, and it takes many years to get the title deed, which is also common in places close to mountains and rivers.
