1. The medical level has reached the "gold standard"
Throughout Southeast Asia, Kang Min Hospital and Samantai Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand are the first hospitals to pass JCI audit and obtain qualification certificates. JCI is the most authoritative standard for evaluating medical institutions, and the certificate issued by this institution is the "gold standard" for the medical level of global medical service providers. At present, about 53 hospitals in Thailand have obtained the certificate and are open to foreign tourists. ?
2. Five-star hotel-style medical services
Thai hospitals provide five-star hotel-like medical environment and services. Take Bangkok Hospital as an example. There are language translators from 32 countries, and different treatment schemes are adopted for patients from different countries. Moreover, many hospitals in Thailand provide one-stop services such as visa, travel, examination, surgery, recuperation and customized travel.
3. The medical level is comparable to that of Europe and America, and the cost is low.
International hospitals in Thailand can undertake all kinds of high-end and low-end operations, even comparable to the medical level of developed countries in Europe and America in many fields, but the cost is relatively low. According to the data of the National Tourism Administration of Thailand, under the same circumstances, the medical expenses in Thailand are usually 40%-70% cheaper than those in most western countries and Middle Eastern countries.
The world-leading medical tourism has benefited the Thai real estate market. In addition to tenants who aim at tourism and medical care, high-net-worth people who focus on investment also flock to Thailand. Recently, more than 100 Hong Kong people came to Bangkok. Instead of visiting relatives, they made a special trip to Thailand to buy a house.
Of course, the fiery medical tourism is not the only reason why international investors spend a lot of money in the Thai real estate market. Their enthusiasm for Thai real estate is also closely related to the following reasons:
Important countries along the Belt and Road 1
Thailand is located in the core of ASEAN, which is the logistics, trade and financial center of ASEAN. As a key node of the Maritime Silk Road, it is also a natural bridge between the ASEAN market and China. The Nihon Keizai Shimbun once called Thailand "the heart of ASEAN" and "the umbilical cord of Asia". Its capital, Bangkok, has long been the hub of aviation, highway, railway and waterway transportation in Southeast Asia.
Thailand's economic development has been steadily rising.
Thailand has a sound social system and a stable policy system. In Southeast Asia, Thailand is the second largest economy, and its per capita GDP ranks in the top three among Southeast Asian countries. In 20 16, Thailand's GDP increased by 3.2% over the previous year. Judging from the basic situation of Thailand's economy, the economic development has risen steadily. A few days ago, the Bank of Thailand revised the economic growth rate, which shows that economically, Thailand is in a benign development trend.
The unemployment rate in Thailand is only about 1%.
In the national ranking of 20 17 "Pain Index", Thailand was once again rated as "the happiest country in the world" with an ultra-low unemployment rate of only about 1%, and Thailand has won this honor for three consecutive years. Abundant employment opportunities have led to the influx of a large number of people into Bangkok. The occupancy rate of houses in Bangkok has remained at around 90%, and there is no large number of vacant houses and no obvious bubble risk.
4 Diversified international education system
The quality of education in Thailand has been recognized by international examination institutions. Famous universities in Thailand: bangkok university, Thailand National University of Political Science and Law, Webster University, etc. Set up international courses, teach in English, and adopt European and American models in curriculum, educational methods and teaching system. Moreover, the cost of a four-year undergraduate course in a Thai university is almost equivalent to the cost of studying in Europe and America for one year.
The surging crowd stimulated the demand for real estate.
According to the statistics of Thailand Tourism Bureau, the number of tourists from China to Thailand reached 8.77 million in 20 16, up 4.6% year-on-year. Moreover, the total population of Thailand itself has reached 64 million, which is among the best in the world. Coupled with the emergence of the baby boom in Thailand and the recent approval of the construction of the China-Thailand railway, the population base in Thailand will further increase in the future, and the demand for housing will become increasingly strong.
There is less and less land available in Thailand.
Thailand is a country with private ownership of land. Land cannot be developed casually, and the demolition and reconstruction must be approved by 100% residents. Therefore, the land resources available for development are quite limited, and the real estate market is becoming more and more popular. There is a lack of exploitable land in the center of Bangkok, and the remaining land is a scarce resource, which is precious.
Most properties are permanent property rights.
Unlike domestic property rights in the past 50 or 70 years, most Thai properties are permanent property rights, which can be passed down from generation to generation. There is no inheritance tax and property tax, and the transfer and holding costs are low. In addition, foreigners can get loans to buy a house in Thailand. At present, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Thailand), Bank of China (Thailand) and uob (UOB uob) provide foreigners with housing loans that in principle do not exceed 50% of the total house price.
Thailand has no shared housing area.
In domestic houses, the pool area is about 20% on average (elevator shaft, stairwell, corridor, public hall, wall, etc.). ), and the house in Thailand is calculated according to the actual use area, and there is no pool area, which means that buying a Thai property is equivalent to a 20% discount. In addition, apartments and villas in Thailand are decorated when delivered, and most apartments are finely decorated.
9 foreigners have a low threshold for buying real estate.
Thailand's land department works efficiently, and the documents that owners need to prepare are relatively simple. With the help of developers and professional real estate agents, the transfer of new buildings and villas can be completed within 1-3 working days, and the down payment is generally 30% according to the house price or valuation. In addition, there is no limit to the number of apartments purchased, and foreign buyers are free to hold and buy and sell real estate.
10 has a high rate of return and the house price rises rapidly.
Thailand's real estate sales growth rate is 7% every year, and the rental return rate is very impressive, stable at 5-8%, and in some places it can reach 15%. According to the survey, among the six hottest real estate investment countries in the world, Thailand ranks first in terms of rental return rate. Moreover, from 2009 to 20 16, Thailand's housing prices grew steadily at the rate of 10% per year, and the investment prospects are very impressive.
Thailand has a mature real estate market. At present, the house price is at a low point and has been on the rise, which has considerable investment potential. Moreover, in the past five years, the exchange rate of RMB against Thai baht has risen by 19%, making Thai real estate more and more attractive to China investors.
