The Rumours of Luxury Bangkok

There is amassing positivity and excitement buzzing around Bangkok property market. Rumours are rife and spreading with more credence daily surrounding the prospect of after one year, Thailand will be reopening. Already lock down measures have been lifted to near normal levels of life around the city. Whilst temperatures are still checked and the app is used to register people in and out of places shopping centres, bars, clubs and other nightlife areas are reopening. On top of this, the rumour that quarantine free travel will be able to happen from June 1st 2021 has led to a surge of purchases and sales.

With many people expecting a large dip in the property market in 2021, buyers have been largely disappointed while the owners still content to hold on to inventory and look at completing investment gains before moving property on. Now with the expected arrivals to begin from June, there is even further hope that the luxury and mid property markets can continue to strengthen further throughout Q2 of 2021.

Four Seasons Private Residences Bangkok, The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, The Ritz Carlton Bangkok and The Residences at Sindhorn Kempinski have all seen a rise in sales especially in resale with only limited units being left available on the market. Riverside properties have certainly been active at the start of the year. However one question still remains for the Bangkokonians, when will the travellers return and when can people leave? With the vaccine on the way it is imperative that anyone wishing to travel must set aside the conspiracy theories and information being passed around and realise the fact that most countries will not allow access without a vaccine record. Thailand is expected to be a country that allows travel to take place freely for the vaccinated.
