House or Condo Living? What would you choose?

2024-05-14に共有
Join me on a journey through the contrasting landscapes of urban living as I explore the age-old debate: House or Condo? Today, I sat down with my friend Trolls, a resident of the vibrant Klong Toei suburb in Bangkok, who graciously shared insights into the nuances of both living styles. With a foot in both worlds, Trolls offers a unique perspective, making him the perfect guide for this discussion.

For many expatriates considering moving to Thailand, choosing between a cozy condo or a spacious house is pivotal. Some crave the bustling energy of city life. In contrast, others yearn for the tranquillity of a more secluded abode, perhaps even opting for a farm-style retreat for the truly adventurous.

I'm inclined towards the allure of open spaces without adjacent walls, but for individuals, particularly those living solo, the convenience and amenities of condo living may prove irresistible. It's often the first port of call for newcomers, offering a glimpse into the city's vibrant lifestyle.

Yet, the prospect of ownership beckons for those seeking permanence and stability. While condos present an accessible entry point, the dream of owning a house is not out of reach. In a future video, we'll delve deeper into the intricacies of property ownership in Thailand, unravelling the complexities to provide a clearer path forward.

Join us as we navigate the urban landscape, exploring the endless possibilities that await those who dare to choose between house and condo living.

    Prices are quite reasonable out where you are at and the places are okay... Well within the budget for a lot of people IMO... Are the places furnished at extra cost and how much if so... The car is mad cool, in the old days would've loved it... These days, happy with a decent ride that doesn't guzzle petrol haha! Cheers! BTW... Good episode! 👍😎👍

    Thank you for this useful information. My Thai wife is accustomed to having a big western kitchen and I’m the biggest beneficiary always having delicious and healthy food at home. The condo kitchens I have seen are the main reason we would need a house and even then have to build ourselves or remodel to get a good layout for daily cooking. 🙏

    OH NO ! No lunch with our princess Chanya today ! ❤ BTW Roooove the realestate shows BUT NO MONEY NO HONEY KAAA KHUN WARREN 😂 Holding my breath to see the pool built in your Moo Ban seeing you n Chanya in matching THONGS that would fetch squillion of views kaaaa 😂 🥰

    Aussie here looking at retiring in Thailand, I would love to see older condo/units/houses etc (bigger and cheaper?) than newer styles.
  • For us living in middle of Bkk it’s condo living only. Close to BTS and all of our daily activities. But can’t be a shoebox. Need some room to spread out. If living in a nice beach community then it would definitely be a house.

    Interesting video, as I’ve been thinking about moving to Thailand one day. You mentioned how, during your house hunting, that you had to convince Chanya that the house wasn’t haunted, which got me thinking. I know how many Thais are superstitious and believe in ghosts and I wondered if that effects the prices of older houses, if there are rumours that it’s haunted, as most Thais would be reluctant to buy it, and wouldn’t that be advantageous to a farang that doesn’t believe in such things? I’d be very happy to buy a haunted house at a knocked down price, because I know that ghosts don’t exist.
  • You never take us computer shopping. Where would you go for an upgrade or a build from scratch?
  • @ob5671
    Great vlog Wazza, what's the legality of buying a house there? I hear you own 49% of it. Is it safer to own a condo? Also do the condo and house prices go up over time same as UK?
  • @crunchied8
    how can you find places for foreigners can own

    For us it’s a house. We actually own 3 here in Hua Hin in our Thai company. We live in one and rent the other two. All are pool villas. The house we live in is 230 square mt on 600 sq mt of land. We paid 8 mill bt a few years ago. The rentals we paid 5 mill and 7 mill bt. All for cash. Basically all for the price of one single family home we sold in Arizona. They rent out at 45k and 55k bt a month respectively. My Thai American wife and I have been married fur 15 happy years and we also own multiple homes and condos in the US. We bought during Covid so we’ve had significant appreciation as well based on offers we are always receiving here. It’s all good! I’ve been investing in real estate for over 40 years. Never lost a penny!
  • We would never own a Condo, always owned our own houses. We need all of our 512 sqm to live in, as we always have owned big houses, a condo would be smaller than our bedroom😂😂
