Totally agree...am looking at buying a little condo recently....and i feel too that if u are going to pay 20kTHB for rent a month...then with maybe a little more work u may be able to find a place that is going on sale now for a monthly downpayment of that amt....
This of course applies if u intend to retire here in BKK or stay for long....becoz besides the monthly rental...there is the initail downpayament and all....so this only applies of u are in BKK for the long run....
For the Bro that was looking at 12k baht rental...there is a place called BU place near ratchada that i knew of back then....may fit that budget and looks good .....but i am not sure if prices have gone up now.
