What Thailand’s 49% foreign quota means for buyers
Most foreign buyers have heard the number “49%” long before they understand what it actually measures. The foreign ownership quota in Thailand is not a cap on how many condos you can own, and it has nothing to do with land. It is a limit on how much floor space in a single building can end up in foreign hands,…

Thailand is cheap to relocate to – until one thing breaks the bank
A single person can live comfortably in Bangkok for about 43,000 baht a month, roughly US$1,200. Chiang Mai runs cheaper at around 30,200 baht (US$850), while Phuket costs more at 47,000 baht (US$1,300), largely down to rent. For most Western budgets, that’s a fraction of home-country living costs, and it’s the number most people research before they relocate to Thailand.…

Is Thailand’s asset-freezing framework creating unintended risked for foreign investors?
Thailand has spent nearly a decade repositioning itself as a top-tier destination for foreign investment.

Why expat health insurance in Thailand may not cover you after 65
If you’re an expat living in Thailand and you’ve had the same health insurance policy for years, it’s easy to assume you’re set. You pay your renewal, you stay covered, and that’s that. But most Thai domestic health insurance policies have a ceiling built into the small print, an age at which the insurer stops accepting new applicants, and another…

Bangkok rent by neighbourhood: what your budget gets in 2026
You have a number: 25,000 or 35,000 baht a month, or somewhere in between. What you probably don’t have is a clear picture of where in Bangkok that figure actually lands you when you want to rent. Most pre-arrival expats default to Sukhumvit because it is the only Bangkok neighbourhood they can name, and assume cheaper areas mean a worse…

The symptoms women overlook and what a gynecologic oncologist in Bangkok wants you to know
Gynecologic cancers are among the leading causes of cancer-related death in women, yet many of the earliest warning signs go unrecognised for months, sometimes years. By the time a woman seeks care, the window for early intervention has often already narrowed. Prof. Dr Siriwan Tangjitgamol has spent her career working at exactly that window. An obstetrician-gynaecologist specialising in gynecologic oncology…

Retiring in Bangkok: why hospital access beats price per sqm
If you are retiring in Bangkok, you have probably been filtering neighbourhoods by price per square metre, BTS stops from Sukhumvit, and how far the nearest supermarket is. That is the wrong filter. The better one is simpler: which district puts you within 15 minutes of a hospital with English-speaking specialists, JCI accreditation, and direct billing from your insurer. At…

Health insurance in Thailand may have just got more expensive
When your health insurance renewal in Thailand lands and there’s an unfamiliar clause about a 30% co-payment on next year’s medical bills, that’s not a mistake or a typo. It’s the result of a regulatory change that came into effect in March 2025, and 2026 is the first full renewal cycle where it shows up in policyholder documents. Most expats…
