Pattaya – Where the World Comes to Relax and Play

For most of these visitors, one trip to Pattaya is just not enough – many dream of either relocating to the city permanently or buying a second home here to escape the winter blues. Until recently, purchasing freehold real estate in Thailand was impossible and the only alternatives – either buying leasehold or owning as a minority shareholder in a Thai company - were a major turn off. But following an amendment to the Condominium Act in 2008, it’s now possible for anyone to buy a condominium in Thailand – and it’s theirs for keeps!

Currently condominiums in Pattaya start from under £20,000/$30,000. But prices aren’t going to stay this affordable for much longer – they’re starting to rise fast. So the right time to buy is right now.

In this book, overseas property expert, Nick Pendrell, provides a detailed, but easy to read, buyer’s guide for anyone interested in purchasing real estate in Pattaya. It will take you through the buying process from start to finish, helping you to select your perfect property for the best possible price, avoiding any potential pitfalls along the way.

This version of the book is especially enhanced for e-readers, featuring more than 90 images, tables and maps in addition to over 60,000 words of text to provide the most-detailed buyer's guide ever produced on the market.
