The Truth About Thailand’s Luxury Condo Scheme
Thailand’s luxury condo market sells an incredible lifestyle: rooftop pools, modern gyms, beautiful lobbies, tropical landscaping, security, ocean or city views, and buildings that look more like five-star resorts than places to live. For foreigners coming to Thailand, it can seem almost unbelievable how much “luxury” is available compared with many Western countries.
But there is another side to Thailand’s luxury condo market that becomes much easier to see after you actually live in these buildings. The impressive swimming pool and lobby don’t necessarily tell you anything about the quality of the unit upstairs, how well the building will age, whether the amenities will be maintained, how competent the juristic office is, or what everyday life inside the development will actually be like.
