The COVID-19 pandemic may provide an opportunity for Thailand real estate developers and retailers to rebound stronger than before, reports ASEAN Today (13 May 2020). Analysts predict Thailand's real estate will recover and are encouraging buyers to invest because Thai properties generate good yields. "Chinese investors want to choose markets that are closer to home, require less capital and offer better yields. The Asia Pacific region, and especially Southeast Asia, ticks all three boxes," explained Georg Chmiel, executive chairman of overseas property purchasing website Juwai.com.
