Nice video but for a city of millions of properties you've chosen very expensive only. Try cutting that rate in half or less to cater to a lot more people on your channel, 2k USD is a LOT of money for an apartment in BKK. 5000 USD would house many middle income Thais for YEARS. I know people who live there in perfectly decent apartments for a few hundred dollars, please reveal this because THAT would be useful

Depends on the budget. If you retire with 50 I'm sure that's not going to be with $1200/month. Either you're wealthy and can afford it or you gotta work until 60+. Then again, does a retiree need a palacial apartment with stairwell and several bedrooms?

The fees are a massive investment and a bit of a hurdle if you’re moving over as a self-employed person (aka no corporate subsidy). Thanks in advance!

As your KZread channel name suggests the word "retire" would be a hint of what demographic you're aiming at. I doubt if many retirees want to spend $2,500 and upwards on a place in Bangkok to live. $2,500.00 is more than my current mortgage payment and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area!!!! There are many nice places available in Bangkok for between 12,000 and 20,000 baht. That should be your focus.

I have read in a Thai newspaper, that since covid19 the demand for condos under 20.000 Baht has increased by over 20% in Bangkok. And what does Chris do? You introduce condos in a price range from 77.000 and 85.000 to 170.000 Baht. How many people of your viewers can afford that, 0,00001 % ? Who should move in there? Donald Trump, Rockefeller, the Rothschild family or Warren Buffett? Lol. You are a really funny guy. I love your videos. By the way, what do you pay for your condo in Bangkok?

Hi, Chris. You look familiar. Did you ever study pasathai at Wat Thai North Hollywood?

One big advert for high end condo agents. I can not imagine many retired people that can or will pay that kind of money for a condo. There are many more reasonable condos in the Suk area (I own one and rent for much less.)

Would like to see single bed room semi luxury with a 2k max

I live in Toronto which is one of the most expensive cities and these prices are still not much different. I hope they are not jacking up the prices for foreigners lol

Would I be able to work from home in Bangkok with good Internet access?

So you need to have a work permit to rent a property even if you have no intention of working there?

When you hear brokers fee is paid by the landlord, run as fast as you can because they always jack up the price. All the landlord gotta do is just raise the rent few hundred dollars a month it will be plenty to pay the broker but you will be stuck with the overinflated rent.
