Long Stay How much money to live comfortably?.

I'm split on this property issue, I have purchased and sold two properties in Pattaya (well condos actually) and made a profit both times however, these days I much prefer the opportunity to change location on every visit.......sometimes two to three times in a single trip.
While I respect Robi's view, as long as a property has been purchased in a legitimate manner in ones own name (not sure about this company thing) it is as safe as houses.
