Thailand’s real estate market is robust, with a mature investment environment that has attracted a surge of foreign buyers post-pandemic. In 2023, foreigners purchased 14,449 units totalling 73.2 billion baht, marking a significant 25% growth compared to 2022, according to REIC. Additionally, the 2024 PwC Asia Pacific Real Estate Trends Survey highlights Bangkok’s rising popularity among investors, positioning Thailand as a preferred investment destination.
Tank Chen, Founder of Throne Property International Real Estate said “Recent years have witnessed a surge in demand for luxury residences in Bangkok’s prime areas, notably attracting Taiwanese buyers. Thailand has experienced significant infrastructure improvements and rapid economic development in recent years, driving a surge in real estate demand.”
“Key attractions of Thai real estate for Taiwanese investors include legal ownership rights equivalent to those of Thai nationals, relatively affordable property prices, and the exclusion of common areas from property costs, allowing residents to enjoy luxurious amenities akin to five-star hotels for free. Additionally, the cost of living in Thailand is low, and Bangkok boasts a comprehensive transportation network, along with malls, educational institutions, and medical facilities, making it a highly liveable city. Properties in Thailand come fully decorated, facilitating easy move-in with just a suitcase, whether for personal use or investment. Furthermore, Thai property prices have shown stable appreciation, with rental yields higher than those in Taiwan. This growing interest from Taiwanese investors is not only driven by investment opportunities but also by the appeal of Thailand’s luxurious retirement lifestyle,” said Chen.
Chokechai Puapattanakajorn, SVP General Manager, Bangkok Bank, Taiwan, said “I am thrilled to announce our partnership in delivering comprehensive financial services. Through Bangkok Bank’s extensive offerings, we are committed to advancing and developing Thailand’s real estate industry together. We are confident that this collaboration will strengthen the Thai real estate industry by introducing Thai real estate projects to Taiwanese and international markets. Bangkok Bank is dedicated to being a key driver in supporting our business partners’ real estate transactions, ensuring their success and sustainable growth. We believe this partnership will open new opportunities and further strengthen the relationship between both countries.
