Should I buy or rent a home in Rayong?

If you have not spent a lot of time in Rayong, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...

"The decision to buy or rent a home in Rayong, largely depends on your personal circumstances, financial situation, and long-term plans. If you plan to stay in Rayong for a long period, buying a home could be a good investment. Owning a property allows you to build equity over time and could potentially provide a return on investment if property values increase. On the other hand, renting might be a better option if you're not planning to stay in Rayong for a long time. Renting offers more flexibility, as you can move without the hassle of selling a property. It also doesn't require a large upfront investment like buying a home does. Additionally, as a foreigner, buying property in Thailand can be complex. Thai law restricts foreigners from directly owning land. However, foreigners can own buildings or apartments outright, or hold land through certain types of companies or long-term leases. Therefore, it's crucial to seek legal advice and thoroughly understand the property laws in Thailand before deciding to buy a home. In conclusion, both buying and renting a home in Rayong have their pros and cons. It's essential to consider your financial capability, duration of stay, and understand the local property laws before making a decision," commented one expat who made the move to Rayong, Thailand.
