Which is the best and cheapest place to live in the world?

Q. i want to move, and buy cheap real estate in a nice place to live!

A. Thailand, but do it smart


How did the importance of hot money effect the 1997 Thailand financial crisis?
Q. Also... What other things contributed to the Thailand financial crisis?

A. Here's my attempt to answer your question:

Hot money has sideeffects �such as rapid monetary expansion, an excessive rise in aggregate demand, inflationary pressures, an appreciation of the real exchange rate...and a widening current account.� (Sharma, 79)


Other causes of the crash are that the Bank of Thailand wanted to compete with commercial banks and finance companies and therefore were willing to borrow a lot of money and lend them at low margins which meant they were taking risks they shouldn't have.


�The worst part was that most loans were denominated in foreign currency (about US$49 billion at the end of 1997�equivalent to 33 percent of GDP), with usually no hedging against currency depreciation. The bursting bubble destroyed many of the companies that had undertaken real-estate construction, and others who had provided finance.� (Sharma, 87)

�As foreign investors became concerned over Thailand's ability to repay its huge foreign debt, they began to move their money out of the country.� (Sharma, 88)

Q. Hi,
I will soon have an interview for an internship in Bangkok (Thailand) and will be asked the question : how much to you expect to earn...
I was thinking about 20 000 baht. Does that seem fair ? Can I ask a bit more ?
(It's for an internship in a big european real estate agency based in bangkok.)
Cheers !!

A. If you are a French citizen as your profile shows you will need a non B type visa and a work permit to work in Thailand. If this place you will be doing your internship with is in the corporate sector (profit-making business).the minimum salary must be 50,000 baht to be eligible for a work permit.

Which country is nicest to live in with a strong economy?

Q. I am a software engineer looking to relocate or find out about other asian opportunities. I was interested in one of these three countries:
Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia. Which one is better as far as quality of life and average prices for real estate/ apartments. Do the markets pay good or not? crime? healthcare? education? And the language most commonly spoken. Just name your thoughts on each.
Personally I am leaning towards Singapore at the moment. But am still open for change. thanks in advanced.
i also wanted to include the philippines with the above 3 countries

A. I would say Malaysia. The government offers rather good 'incentives' to attract foreign investors. Not as expensive & rigid as Singapore, more developed than Philippines and Thailand, not as badly corrupted as in the Philipines, no natural disaster, lots of room for the family, lots of business opportunities, plenty of natural reserves, lesser fanatics (religion wise), hard-working labour. Reliable medical care, lower crime rates comparitively (to Thailand & Philippines & Indonesia). English is widely used. Yes, Malaysia would be a wise choice.

Is the property market hurting in Thailand?

Q. Since the global recession is currently hanging over all of us, what is the real estate market in Thailand like now?

A. Yes, I have friends in the real estate industry that have moved to other countries because of it. Even hot areas to buy, like Phuket, are suffering a major drop because of the political instability, the economic crisis around the world, and the general exchange rates for foreign currencies.

If you have cash, however, it might be a good time to buy (pay cash).


What is the thing to do right now that the economy is so bad? Is there any job that will pay a good salary?
Q. alot of people are complaining about getting pay less than 1 or 2 years ago, Mortgage companies are closing down, Real Estate Companies are merging and closing some offices, this is affecting us, what will be the best thing or the best choice for people to make more money or have a good job at this time... Any ideas?

A. be a teacher. when people get laid off many choose to go back to school for some kind of education or job training either in community colleges or in universities. this means that higher education enrollment is going up particularly in inexpensive schools such as community colleges, trade schools, and vocational schools. if you have an advanced degree or a special skill, you might wish to look into part time teaching as an adjunct lecturer or professor, the other option is to get a recognized certificate to teach english and go overseas as an english language teacher. the demand for qualified english teachers is going through the roof in japan, south korea, china, taiwan, and thailand.


What is the meaning of a "Thai Kitchen" versus a "European Kitchen"?? The expression is real estate term.
Q. Kitchen decoration real estate terminology

A. I have no idea what it would mean in a real estate term in the US or Europe. I live in Thailand and the Thai kitchen traditionally is outside under a cover like a patio there. Most Thai cook outside even today. It is never cold here so that is no problem. Many still cook with charcoal and some with wood but most use bottled gas and a burner on four legs. The way they cook makes for a lot of fumes and grease splattering so outside sure is the best place.
