Ultra-rich Thais eye London real estate
Asia Unhedged spotted an interesting tidbit today in Bangkok’s Nation. Economic uncertainty is nudging ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) Thais to train their sights on London’s property market.
The Nation says Siam Commercial Bank is partnering with Knight Frank Thailand to help ultra-rich Thais reconnoiter choice real-estate investments in London. It’s touted as a way to diversify investment portfolios amid Thailand’s current political and economic instability.
Lalitphat Toranavikrai, head of private banking at SCB, was quoted as saying that Thailand’s economy is facing an uncertain future and fixed-income instruments are unlikely to be very attractive because of the investment volatility, while the overseas-property-market trend is pretty upbeat.
London’s described as one place that wealthy Thais boasting accounts of at least Bt50 million in assets under management, know well. This is because many have enrolled their children in British schools. More than a few have also sought to purchase British residences, making property investments in markets like London a logical step.

Re: Thais gobble up London real estate
They shouldn't be allowed to own British real estate unless they marry a British citizen and put it in the spouses name...
