And most popular resort city of all is ... 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 from 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 - was a major turn off. But following the passing of 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 just 15,000/$25,000. 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 complete buyer's guide for anyone interested in buying property in Pattaya. It will take you through the buying process from start to finish in order to ensure that you select the perfect property which meets all your needs for the best possible price, avoiding any potential pitfalls in the process.
