Should I buy or rent a home in Bangkok?
If you have not spent a lot of time in Bangkok, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...
"Buying a home in Bangkok can be a great investment, as the city is a popular destination for tourists and expats alike. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Bangkok, as well as the cost of purchasing a home, before making a decision. Renting a home in Bangkok can be a great option for those who are not ready to commit to buying a home, as it allows for more flexibility and can be more cost-effective in the short-term. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Bangkok should be based on individual needs and preferences," remarked another expat in Bangkok, Thailand.
