We are a Farang/Farang couple who purchased a Farang quota feehold 'off the plan' condominium called The Park Residence Chidlom at No 1 Soi Chit Lom, Bangkok. We landed on our feet, the project won first place in the CNBC awards for best high rise Thailand. It was developed by Hemaraj a .SETI 30 Thai company.

The purchase was made back in 2005 when GBPTHB= was around the 75 mark, IMO a lesson in exchange rate movement for everyone! We have recently been as low as 50, ouch! We have our blue house book and Chanott ti din (often called a Chanott, Chanote or Chanoot).

The threads I consider of most value are:

Banking/opening a new account in Thailand

And the CBD thread because this is the area I live in

We are currently UK based and are making plans for retirement, so we currently operate in Thailand on a tourist visa only. Often the motivation for my posts is long term planning.

I try to put back into Thaivisa the knowledge I have gained in repayment for all the excellent advice I have received over the years. Mind you there was a lot of crap to read through too ];-)
