This is such an easy question to pose, but one that can result in exhausting and un-ending answers.
Makes you wonder how serious the OP was as he hasn't bothered to come forth with further info, as yet.
Just as well nobody spent excessive time on it. If we're lucky we might get a one word response for the effort so far, thanks.

Thanks for the comments on the houses/condo's.
I have premises already but its just interesting to know the current trends. Not suprisingly in Thailand everything is in reverse... rest of the world going down - Thailand putting the prices up. Typical.
I think we might see these prices starting to fall end of this year.
Are there any decent bars for sale in Pattaya? I would have suspected some of the international owners are starting to struggle and wanting to bale out.

I spent a lot of money on LB's in Nana Plaza, Patpong and Pattaya. The rest of the cash, I just squandered

[quote name="asian tall"]I planning to move to Thailand for a couple of years to live and experience a different culture (aka ladyboys). uote]
hmmmmm, i dont know your age/background, but well, just be careful with that
Do you mean just going to LB bars, or trying to live with them, see how they live?
When work stops, being around ladyboys is a different kettle of banana's. Are you gonna be staying up with them for days on end smoking crystal meth and bitching about so and so from x bar?

There are leases going for air conditioned bars in Queens Park Plaza on Suk 22 for 3000 quid a year.
Black out the windows, fill it with ladyboys and have a naughty boys corner?

It doesn't need an expert to state the obvious.House purchase versus Rental - you should speak to the people that know.
The purchase costs of Thai property are equivalent to approx. 20+ years worth of rental payments, nevermind all the other land ownership pitfalls and issues or % of Thai ownership in apartment blocks and maintenance costs etc.. Plus being pinned to one single location having purchased and losing freedom to move around the Kingdom, then selling the property on if you want to move or get a bit of your money back. Buying doesn't bare thinking about.
Renting is pay a month up front and Robert's your mother's brother. Don't like it, boring location or there's some asshole next door, pay your utility bills and move out.
But as the OP failed to give any indication of anything, such as his age or whether he's even been before it's a waste of electrical impulses. Maybe he hasn't even given visas a second thought yet, who knows?!

Nice post. Couldn't help to wonder what the average year-on-year %increase in property value is? Maybe in combination with highly fluctuating exchange rate could be interesting?
IMHO, I would indeed not buy neither for any other reason other then possible worthwhile profitability.
