Your quite welcome it will be a beach front modern 2 bedroom apartment across the road from the beach front with clear white sands and with the best views :)

oh that sounds wonderful sir hangin! And you will be able to afford this because prices are lower over there?

Certainly affordable and foreigners are allowed to own apartments here but not houses which is great i can pass it on to my son one day :)

howdy again sir hangin! Foreigners can't by houses? wow, do you know why that is? I figured anyone could buy a house if they had cash. Very interesting.

Thailand is very smart in this way they like to keep the real estate market controlled not like other countries that allow any foreigners to buy houses which in turn throws the housing market sky high. In other words they don't like to sell there country off like Australia has to all the Chinese and now the young generation Aussie couple can't afford to buy a house or a apartment because the Chinese have blown the market right out of propulsion.

howdy again sir hangin! oh I see, that makes perfect sense, thanks for the explanation. That is smart indeed. Can you become a citizen and eventually be able to buy a house?

Yes you can become a citizen but you have to form a company to be able to by land or house :)
