Why invest in Thailand

In the spotlight thanks to its remarkable economic progress, Thailand has become the new Eldorado thanks to average annual economic growth of 5% over the past 10 years. In this country, real estate is one of the best international sectors in which to invest, thanks in particular to a dynamic tourism sector.

A real estate sector boosted by tourism

Tourists flock to this Southeast Asian country by the millions every year (29 million in 2015), so demand for property rentals and purchases is still growing. This constant increase in demand for real estate is quite simply a guarantee of remarkable profitability for investors. For example, if we’re talking about rental investment alone, profitability is estimated at between 7% and 10% a year. Buying an apartment and then renting it out is a highly attractive investment.

Investment opportunities for all budgets

What also makes Thailand attractive in terms of real estate investment is that it offers a wide choice of possibilities, depending on the investor’s financial possibilities. Naturally, the megalopolis (Bangkok, the economic heart of the country) is where property prices are at their highest. On the other hand, when you head for these internationally renowned seaside resorts (such as Phuket…), the purchase price of real estate is lower and the return is higher.

An indulgent investment tax system

The administrative procedures involved in buying freehold property in Thailand are fairly formal, but the tax system is very attractive: not only are there no property taxes or inheritance taxes to pay, but the tax treaty between France and Thailand avoids the heavy burden of double taxation on income.

Real estate in Thailand remains a very good investment sector, thanks to the profitability of rental activities and the very low taxation applied to real estate. What’s more, the sector is not reserved for investment giants. Osiris Investissements offers a wide range of properties at very attractive prices: for example, a studio apartment in Pattaya with a sea view in a serviced residence (swimming pools, security, laundry…) is available from as little as €60,000.
