New developments in the Thailand property market are continuing albeit at a slower pace than recent years, however there is still plenty to choose from whether you are looking in Bangkok for an urban metropolitan setting, Pattaya a seaside town only 90 minutes from Bangkok known for its nightlife; to beautiful beach developments to the south in places like Phuket, Samui, and Krabi. For a totally different pace one might look to the north of Thailand, in either Udon Thani, sometimes referred to is the northern capital, or on the other side in Chaing Mai.

Thailand is known for having a cheap cost of living, especially in regard to food and housing. The extensive developments that are available all over the kingdom give great value for money. Many of the materials used are hard woods, and real stone. Labor rates help keep the cost low so your money stretches quite a bit further in Thailand than it may in other places. For buying property Thailand is still very much an up an coming market and serious investors, those that wish to live abroad, or have a holiday home should definitely consider the Land of Smiles when considering a new property purchase.
