Thailand attracting an "array" of investors

Thailand is proving popular with a wide variety of buyers looking for different types of property and investment opportunities, according to one expert.

Jason Killingback, sales adviser at David Stanley Redfern, said that although Thai buying laws can be "quite complicated", steps are being taken to make things easier for investors.

While some of the most popular areas to invest in include Bangkok, Koh Samui and Phuket, Mr Killingback suggested that the market is attracting people with different investment strategies and requirements.

"We get people looking for investment, people looking for a holiday home, people looking to use [a property] for a couple of months' work; it's a whole mixture for that sort of market," he remarked.

Figures published by the Tourism Authority of Thailand recently showed that more than 850,000 tourists from the UK visited the country between January and December last year.
