Investor questions, answered.
- Q01
- What is Core Investments?
- Core Investments is an independent investment intelligence and research platform focused on Thailand property markets. We publish institutional-grade market intelligence and help international investors evaluate cash flow property investment, resort property investment and hotel-managed real estate across Phuket, Bangkok and Pattaya.
- Q02
- Which Thailand property markets does Core Investments cover?
- Phuket, Bangkok and Pattaya at the market level, with 27 underwritten submarkets across the three. Country-level coverage of the Thailand real estate market is consolidated in our Thailand Property Market Intelligence centre.
- Q03
- How is Core Investments research produced?
- We apply a tourism-backed investment thesis and a four-tier evidence hierarchy: published government and regulator data (TAT, AOT, BOT, NESDC, BOI), institutional broker research (CBRE, Knight Frank, JLL, Savills, Colliers), developer disclosures, and field observation. Facts, assumptions, scenarios and speculation are labelled separately.
- Q04
- Can foreigners legally invest in Thailand property?
- Yes. Foreign nationals can acquire condominium freehold within the 49% per-building foreign-ownership quota set by the Condominium Act B.E. 2522, alongside other legal structures for land-based assets. See our foreign ownership framework for the regulatory detail.
- Q05
- What evidence sources underpin Core Investments research?
- Tier-1 institutional sources including WTTC, TAT, AOT, BOT, NESDC, BOI, IMF, World Bank, CBRE, Knight Frank, JLL, Savills, Colliers, REIC, EECO and EIU. Every pillar page carries a cited sources list and links to our published research methodology.
