After my last video about buying a beach condo in Thailand, I received a lot of questions about condo fees in Thailand, rental income, and how to tell if a condo building is financially healthy.
In this video, I take you to my Bangkok condo near BTS Udomsuk (Sukhumvit area) — about 8 BTS stations from the city center — and sit down with the real estate agent I originally bought the condo from. She answers the exact questions many people ask after they’ve already made a mistake.
We tour two condos for sale in the same complex (35 sqm and 50 sqm) and talk honestly about Bangkok condo prices, fixer-uppers, rental income, and return on investment (ROI). Then we dive into something most YouTube videos never explain:
👉 How to check the financial health of a condo building in Thailand
👉 What condo maintenance fees really mean
👉 What percentage of owners must be paying fees for a building to be “healthy”
👉 Common fees vs sinking funds in Thailand (and why low fees can be a red flag)
If you’re researching living in Bangkok, buying a condo as a foreigner, or renting or investing just outside the city center near a BTS line, this video is designed to help you avoid costly mistakes.
