Though Bangkok's air pollution is likely to have a minimal effect on Thai attitudes towards property purchases, foreign buyers may think differently, particularly Chinese. The Chinese have been interested in buying Bangkok condos since 2016. Last year, Bangkok led all other global property investment destinations in terms of Chinese buyer interest. Carrie Law, the Chief Executive Officer and Director of Juwai.com, the number one Chinese international property portal, said there are long-term threats to Bangkok's appeal, especially the high level of air pollution that the city is currently seeing, reports Bangkok Post (28 January 2019).
