Many Swedish- and Scandinavian families have bought Property or a Condo in Thailand and we see an increasing interest. We estimate that more than 20 000 Swedes alone have invested in a second home in Thailand at a value of about 100 billion Baht or 20 billion SEK.

Every year we see about 450 000 Swedes, as well as many other Scandinavian tourists arriving in Thailand. Many of the tourists and potential property buyers would like to spend 3-5 months or more in Thailand every year, particularly when they reach retirement age. Buying property in Thailand is not easy, however, and may have consequences, not anticipated. Three years ago the Thai-Swedish Chamber of Commerce (TSCC) took the initiative to help, inform and educate potential property buyers by publishing “the Best Practice Guide”.

The present Property Guide is a continuation and extension of that work. The Guide not only contains information on how to buy Property, Thai Property Law and related subjects. We have also included other areas of importance, such as Medical insurance, Medical Care, International and Swedish Schools, Banking and much more. The purpose is to give you adequate and objective information about topics to be considered, when investing in a second home in Thailand.

We would also like to warmly welcome you to “the Property Club of TSCC”. For more information see the last pages of the guide, or under ‘Join us”. You will, as a member, have access to a network of advisors in many areas – advice that might be the difference to make your life and your investment in Thailand a success.The Guide has been printed in 5000 copies and is now distributed in the Nordic Countries as well as in Thailand.
