Hello,
I am a Thai citizen who is planning to buy a house in Phuket & this amount of money will be paid by me (my husband is the foreigner). The market price has been increasing for many years, and the number of selling properties owned by foreigners has been recently increasing as well. I am wondering if Phuket is still a good place to live and has good investment in a long term though many people sell their properties a lot lately (not sure if something going on with the safety or natural disaster that may happen?).
It looks like many real estates agents try to sell a massive price for foreigners. A decent villa with 2-3 bedrooms & 2 baths would probably cost over 7 M & the most expensive areas would be West Phuket. I heard lots of clamdown illegal property in Phuket, so I am not too sure if Phuket would be the place to live and invest. Also, frauds and crimes are a lot in Phuket though we all can see these everywhere in the world. I heard that when buying property in Thailand, if they see foreigners own the house, they will be firstly targeted for robbery.
My plan is to buy a house near the beach somewhere with a good long term investment (if consider to sell in the future). Convenience, safety, property value, recreational facilities, malls and good schools for kids.
Due to many concerns (safety, price market, neighbourhood, laws, etc),do you think Phuket is still a good place to live and good investment? If it is, which area would be best to buy? (I concern about Tsunami or things like that so living somewhere safer would be advantage). The other option is to buy a house in Hua Hin, Samet or Koh Chang, but I am still not sure. I am open to any opinions.
Thank you,
