Thailand is expected to remain the most popular country for Chinese property buyers in 2019, with growth of at least 10% from last year and Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya and Phuket as the top destinations. As there will be a large number of condo projects being completed and transferred to Chinese buyers this year, Carrie Law, the CEO and Director of the number one international Chinese property website Juwai.com,, suggested Thai developers prepare a transfer process and after-sale services specifically for Chinese buyers. "Thailand will have a general election in the next couple of months. Instead of waiting for things to settle down, developers should be making plans," she said. "Last year we suggested Malaysian developers make plans as their country had approaching general elections. Those who were prepared had the advantage," reports The Phuket News (24 January 2019).
