Thailand is divided into 6 regions, composed of 76 provinces, covers an area of 513,120 square kilometers, and has a population of about 69 million people. Each region has its own unique characteristics, and the most popular parts of Thailand are as follows:

• Bangkok is Thailand’s capital and largest city. While it is a cosmopolitan city with gleaming skyscrapers and world-class public transit options, you will still find numerous beautiful temples within its area, making the city an interesting place to visit and reside in. Many people flock to this city for its multicultural vibe, amazing food, and relatively easy access to its neighboring countries. 
• Chiang Mai is situated in a valley surrounded by beautiful green hills. It is popular for those who want to experience a more relaxed and cultured way of life. Chiang Mai is known as the cultural capital of the country. It is a 13th-century ancient city of the Lanna Kingdom, with over 700 years of history. It is also home to a staggering 300 temples, including Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, and Wat Phra Singh. 
• Koh Samui is popular for those looking for an ideal beach lifestyle. Whether you are looking for vibrant nightlife or dream of a tranquil seaside life, Koh Samui has it all. If you want to stay where all the action is, you can choose areas near Chaweng Beach or Choeng Mon beach. If you want to enjoy a quiet and peaceful time, Samrong Beach and Tonson Bay are perfect.
• Phuket is the largest island in Thailand. Blessed with more than 30 stunning beaches, it is known as one of the finest beach destinations in the world, with fine white sands, blue waters, and lively towns. Aside from the beaches, Phuket is also rich in culture. 

Condos in Thailand come in all styles and sizes. The style ranges from traditional Thai style, which incorporates many elements of Thai design within its interior, to a modern and sleek style with clean and crisp lines. There are many different sized Condos available, including studio condo, 1 bedroom condo, and 2 or more bedrooms condo. In some areas, you may also be able to find 5 bedroom penthouses for rent. Penthouses can be found on the topmost floor of a condo, and they offer larger floor areas and privacy.

Besides the style and sizes, condos in Thailand also come in two types: high-rise and low-rise. High-rise condos are typically found in cities such as Bangkok and Pattaya, while low-rise condos can be found in areas like Koh Samui and Phuket. Both high-rise and low-rise condos may come with a range of amenities and offer resort-style living. Some condos, particularly luxurious ones, provide fitness facilities, swimming pools, tennis courts, clubhouses, children playground, parking space, and 24-hour security.

In the last couple of decades, Thailand has increased its standard of living. However, the cost of living is still relatively affordable. The official currency of the country is the Thai Baht (฿), and US$1 is equivalent to around ฿31.7. For visitors coming from western countries, this exchange rate is favorable and allows them to live comfortably with a mid-range salary. 

Thailand is a culturally rich country with friendly and helpful people. Thai is the official language of the country, but many people can speak English due to tourism. Around 95% of the country’s population adheres to Buddhism, but other religions are also freely practiced. Since Thailand is predominantly Buddhist, many of the customs and etiquette in Thai culture are based on Buddhist values. As such, Buddhist holidays are the most celebrated public holidays in the country, including Makha Bucha Day, Visakha Bucha Day, and Asahna Bucha Day. Thai people also highly respect their Royal Family, so it is very important to remember that you should never disrespect the King or royal family.

Located in the tropics, Thailand enjoys warm temperatures all year round, with an average of around 28°C and 35°C. There are two main seasons in the country, including the hot season (from March to June) where the temperatures can raise up to 40°C and the rainy season (from July to October) where you will experience frequent heavy rainfalls and rising humidity. 

If you want to stay in Thailand long-term, you will need a business, marriage, education, or retirement visa. Most foreigners who work in Thailand have non-immigrant visa type B, while retirees usually obtain non-immigrant visa type O, O-A, and O-X. 

1. No legal obstacles – while Thai Lawsallow foreigners to buy condos in the country, there are some rules that you will need to follow. For some people, the process may be too complicated, so renting a condo can be the most feasible option.
2. Improving infrastructure – Thailand has a 20-year infrastructure plan with a goal to transform the country into a high-value economy and logistic hub for ASEAN. You can already see the improvements in infrastructure today, with modern public transportation available within its big cities.
3. Flexibility – Tenancy agreements tend to just be for one year which means that you can move if you secure a new job or wish to live in a different part of the city or town.
