Thailand is an undeniably popular destination for expats. Although many people live and work in Bangkok for professional and business reasons, many others live in communities around the country, choosing an island lifestyle, relaxed seaside living, or the cooler lush green mountains of the north. It seems to offer something for everyone. Indeed many retirees live in Thailand year-round, and others buy property in Thailand to escape their cold winters.
Thailand grants an easy-going and relaxed lifestyle with a tropical climate, welcoming people, fascinating culture, and delicious food. Plus, access to modern conveniences and infrastructure with a reasonable cost of living, and the ease of travel around the world, it’s little wonder the oft-used expression of ‘The Land of Smiles’ has stayed with this beautiful country.
If you are looking to enter the Thailand property market, this selection of properties will show what 13 million THB (390,000 USD) will buy. Read on; you may be very pleasantly surprised.
