IN THE PAST DECADE, Thai properties marketed overseas were either projects in prime downtown Bangkok or properties in top resort destinations such as Phuket.
Nowadays, visitors and investors are becoming more familiar with other non-prime locations in Bangkok through information from social media and digital communications.
New condominium property prices in downtown Bangkok have increased to an average of over Bt260,000 per square metre, with starting prices of over Bt10 million. The high Central Business District (CBD) prices combined with marketing efforts of non-prime locations by Thai developers, over the last two years, has increased awareness and interest from overseas investors in non-CBD Bangkok locations who are keen to invest in the fringe of the downtown areas or in midtown locations, especially along the extended mass transit lines where prices are more affordable than downtown areas.
The popular prices for these locations range between Bt3 to 10 million per unit.
