What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Thailand?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Thailand is like. They answered...
"A typical expat home or apartment in Thailand is typically decorated with a mix of western and Asian-influenced furniture, fixtures and decorations. It often features open living spaces and airy bedrooms. The kitchen is usually outfitted with modern appliances and plenty of storage space. Many expat homes and apartments also boast plenty of outdoor space for entertaining, relaxing and taking in the tropical ambience. Living in Thailand also offers expats the opportunity to experience unique cultural and culinary experiences, as well as access to some of the world's top beaches," said another expat in Thailand.
"Small apartment. Expats with families and in upper income levels usually go for condos or house rental. Expats can only purchase condos, not houses, at least not in their own name," wrote a member who made the move to Bangkok, Thailand.
