Thailand

Thailand embraces a rich diversity of cultures and traditions. With its proud history, tropical climate and renowned hospitality, the Kingdom is a never-ending source of fascination and pleasure for international visitors.

The Kingdom of Thailand draws more visitors than any other country in Southeast Asia with its irresistible combination of breathtaking natural beauty, inspiring temples, renowned hospitality, robust cuisine and ruins of fabulous ancient kingdoms. Few countries are so well endowed. There are constant reminders of the nation’s rich cultural heritage ranging from its glittering temples to its exquisite crafts. There is superb dining, shopping, and entertainment to fill the days and nights. But most of all, there are the Thai people with their unrushed lifestyle who take time to welcome the stranger, especially in the countryside.

The cost of living in Thailand is much lower than in most European destinations while the facilities available to tourists and visitors are modern and of international standard. Property is much cheaper in Thailand than elsewhere and an increase in overseas interest in property purchase has helped to create an economic recovery in Thailand.

The completion of the Suvarnabhumi-Bangkok International Airport (SBIA) airport is expected to spur growth in commercial property markets in eastern Bangkok as well as make Thailand even more accessible. Due to its popularity as a tourist destination, Thailand is one of the cheapest places to fly to in Asia, with direct flights readily available to Bangkok from many international airports.
