On the back of increasing demand from Scandinavian property buyers and investors, the Thai-Swedish Chamber of Commerce will be publishing a new edition of its Thai Property Guide later this year.
Kenneth Radencrantz, President of the Thai-Swedish Chamber of Commerce, said: “Demand for a second home in Thailand is high among Swedish and Scandinavian citizens due to very high visitor numbers from those nationalities. Scandinavians are increasingly also moving to set up businesses and work in Asia, especially in Singapore and China. It is these prospective investors’ need for continued unbiased and reliable advice how to acquire property in Thailand that prompts us to produce a second and completely updated issue of this publication.”
Many Swedish and Scandinavian families have purchased Thai property, and the Chamber estimates that more than 20,000 Swedes have invested more than THB 100 billion in a second home in Thailand.
The need for relevant information about buying property from some of the 450 000 Scandinavians who arrive in Thailand every year is why the publication is being updated with current information on how to buy property, Thai property laws, as well as information about medical insurance, medical care, international and Scandinavian schools and banking.
“Our publication is unique. It is the only such guide backed up with full support from a foreign chamber of commerce in Thailand. It is neutral and factual, a valuable tool for any foreigner in need of advice how to acquire property in Thailand,” added Radencrantz.
