Buying an Apartment Online in Thailand – Fact or Fiction?

Did you know that you can buy flats for sale in Thailand for expats in Phuket or any other region of Thailand online without coming to the country in person? Buying apartments online has become the most popular during the pandemic, but this method can still be used now. You can buy an apartment and start renting it out without personal presence and receive stable passive income in foreign currency.

The nuances of buying real estate online

There is no need to be afraid of this method. A real estate agent will show you all the details of the apartment via video conference. You will review the documents before signing them. It is best to hire a lawyer to help you check the documents for the apartment and the contract. However, this will be relatively inexpensive when buying an apartment offline, especially in a foreign country. On the Thailand-Real.Estate aggregator website, you can find flats for sale in Thailand for expats, houses, villas, townhouses, or other types of real estate for purchase online. The site contains only reliable advertisements from developers and real estate agents. You can personally look for purchasing options or contact a manager who will help you decide.

Who is this option suitable for?

Of course, the easiest way to choose a region and country to buy real estate is to visit it in person. If you have been to Thailand more than once and have a favorite city for vacation, this will be fine for you. But you don’t have to visit the country. Especially if you do not plan to live there but buy as an investment to generate passive income; in this case, when choosing an object, you need to focus on the needs of the potential client.

Which real estate to choose to generate passive income?

Real estate in Bangkok has high profitability since not only tourists come to the city but also businessmen and employees of international companies that have offices in the city. The city’s airport is an important transfer point; the region’s trade routes pass through the city. Profitability reaches 8%. In Bangkok, it is best to choose a property near public transport stations, closer to the airport, near universities, or in the business center of the city. The same levels of profitability are achieved in popular resort cities such as Phuket, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Samui, and others. Here, you need to rely not on the preferences of tourists. It is better to choose an area with developed infrastructure. Near the sea, preferably a swimming pool, beautiful view from the window.

Attractions of Phuket in Thailand

• Patong, Karon and Kata beaches;
• Cape Promthep;
• Phuket FantaSea;
• Thai village;

Phuket is Thailand’s largest and most developed resort island and the most famous beach destination in Southeast Asia with its stunning beaches, crystal clear sea water, top hotels, and endless nightlife. The attractions of Phuket are, first of all, its beautiful beaches, for the sake of which thousands of tourists from all over the world go there to relax. The main activity of tourists in Phuket is enjoying the sea with warm and clean water and a wonderful beach holiday. The best beaches in Phuket are Patong, Karon and Kata. They are located on the west coast of the island. Patong Beach is the most famous, most depraved, and noisy beach in Phuket. It is very long – as much as 3 km of beach. Most tourists who buy inexpensive tours come to relax on Patong Beach. Read about the best hotels in Patong here. Kata Beach is also geographically divided into two bays – Kata Yaai and Kata Noi (big and small Kata). They are much smaller than Patong and Karon but prettier. Rocky headlands protect kata beaches in Phuket and are more suitable for families with children. There are good hotels (Phuket Hotels on Kata Beach and Kata Noi Phuket Hotels).

What else to do and see in Phuket?

You should meet the sunset in Phuket on the southernmost cape of the island – Cape Promthep. The views from there are stunning; there will be many beautiful photos.

• For the cultural traditions of Phuket, it is worth going to the Thai Village, which is located next to Phuket Town, to an open-air museum, where you can see the traditional way of life: Muay Thai (Thai boxing), classical dances, and elephant shows.
• Phuket Butterfly Garden and Insect World is a huge garden where butterflies and various insects live. It is very interesting if you like insects.
• The best aquarium, Marine Research Center, is located south of Phuket at Cape Panwa. It will be interesting to go here with children to show them the life of freshwater and marine life.
• In the very center of Phuket, in the hills, there is the Wat Phra Thong temple, with a very unusual Buddha statue. The statue is covered with golden leaves, consistent with Buddhist traditions (we saw one at the Mahamuni Temple in Mandalay). But the fact is that the Phuket statue is half buried in the ground, like the idols on Easter Island in the Rano Raraku quarry. It is believed that whoever digs up the image of Buddha from the ground will suffer the most terrible punishment.
• And not far from the Wat Phra Thong temple in Phuket, you can admire the Ton Sai waterfall.
