Everything Thailand

[alt2015]

Actually imho i think as long u r not flashy, dun wear branded all these thailand is quite safe. For ladies try not to walk alone in late night or small soi lor, there are alot of areas u can choose to be frank. Like my mom she likes to stay near market so she can buy groceries and cook. As for me i like to stay near highway easier to go out.

I like near mkt ... To experience bit of local living . Is latpro or near chachutcha a good place to consider?

so if retirement visa, can buy 2 condos, rent out 1 condo then say it is income .... can ?

Just to correct some mis-statements here
1. You don't need any visa to buy a condo in Thailand

2. You certainly don't need a work permit to rent out your condo

3. To get a THB65,000/month rental, your capital investment required is approx THB11.9 m (assuming 11 months' nett rental income, and 6% rental yield). Certainly, a Bangkok city centre can cost this much but you won't be getting THB65,000 rent.

From sukhumvit your mrt will be packed peak hour can wait for 2 - 4 train till you can squeeze in.

If car/taxi jam starts around rama 9 area all the way.

My place is 2 to 3mins motorcy ride to union mall / mrt station.

You may be right. Just saw a Thai visa on a phuket condo Juristic claiming a WP is required for the landlord (though, if you use an agent to manage your condo rental, then no WP is required). Hmmm. Then again, not sure if it is uniformly applied. So bottomline, don't use your condo rental income as proof of retirement income.

even you rent out a condo. depend on location most likely range from 15k - 25k a month nia.

S$600 rent revenue also good
if FD interest revenue can come to S$800

S$1400 (exclude housing rental/expense) to spend, quite tight
S$2000 will be ideal

you can rent your sg house and collect rent.. why not?
and you dont have to park your 800k in the bank.. just 2-3 months before visa extension or application.. that will be good enough

sg hse rental income counted ?
but can't fetch 65000bht / Sgd 2600, max $2200

maybe park 800k permanent since not a big sum.
collect sg hse rental income n use it as expenses in bkk
