Thailand moves up two notches this year, despite political uncertainty there. “The strong interest suggests that the desire for a nearby vacation home outweighs any short-term concern about Thai politics,” says Taylor. Chinese property purchases in Thailand run parallel to surging trade ties, with China expected to be Thailand’s number one trading partner within three years. The ASEAN trade pact among Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam means that a Chinese entrepreneur with a vacation home and a factory in Thailand has access to a Southeast Asian market of 500 million inhabitants, notes Taylor.
Here’s the top ten favorite locations where China’s wealthy are looking for real estate:
