Joe Green and Gift Prakaew swapped the hustle of Bangkok for a quiet seaside town in Central Thailand, using their $188,000 savings to build their dream home.
Green, formerly of US Department of Defense, lauds this lifestyle unavailable in the west, citing lower living costs and less pollution as key draws to Thai countryside.
After purchasing the plot through Prakaew (fiancée) due to Thai property laws, the couple designed their new 2,000-square-feet home including three bedrooms, which now sits a stone’s throw from the beach, with full mountain views.
My Take…
Great article, well worth a read. Location arbitrage wins again!
