4 Best Cities to live in Thailand and Why

Bangkok

Bangkok is one of the world’s top tourist destinations. Bangkok attracts millions of tourists every year and as a result, there is a high demand for condos including new developments, rentals, and resale property market in the city. In recent years, we have seen a massive increase in property prices in Bangkok due to the consistent development and economic growth in Bangkok. 

So why is Bangkok a great city to invest and live in? Firstly, if you’re a foreigner, you have the right to own freehold condos in Bangkok according to the property ownership law in Thailand. This allows you to not just own, but resell or pass-on condos without restrictions. From the recent statistics, investors can make up to 4-6% gross rental yield on condos in Bangkok City Center. This is why Bangkok attracts a number of foreigners and is known as a multicultural city.  

On top of that, Bangkok simply has everything you need in one place. The city center (known as Sukhumvit Road) has everything from street food stalls to michelin star restaurants located in world-class hotel chains.
