In reality, you can replace "Thailand" with any country in the above question. It is a question that should be asked in terms of long term security in any case - regardless of country. The economy in general can be a large factor and on a personal level, preparation, research and dealing with reputable third parties such as lawyers, financiers, agents and developers are all aspects that can ultimately affect whether your investment is secure or carries risk - either in your home country or abroad.

The capital Bangkok and the resort city of Pattaya are still the leaders in terms of property construction and development. There are a vast number of projects in prime locations across the whole price range - especially in Pattaya.

Pattaya is developing quickly and huge investment has gone into upgrading the whole city along with road links to and from Bangkok to make connections for local commuting and worldwide travel quick and easy. The new airport, new roads and better public transport has opened up the area between the two cities and coastal areas and now links up the busy ports and industrial areas along the way.

With the recent flooding in BKK many wealthy and middle class Thais are looking to relocate their lives and business in and around Pattaya City, or are looking for a second home in the coastal resort which seems immune from natural disaster!!!!! Large areas of Pattaya either already have, or are now being upgraded with Bangkok style shopping malls, retail outlets, well-known hotel chains and up-market entertainment venues. The choice of entertainment and facilities is now so wide there's something for everyone and this has helped to boost a wider property market.

Pattaya flows into the more relaxed resort area of Jomtien which is a superb location for residential living. Jomtien is not so heavily populated and away from (but near to) the city center of Pattaya. Jomtien can offer some of the best resort style living around.

Apartments are available to foreigners wanting out-right ownership and the standards of new housing along with stylish architecture such as "Palm Oasis" has risen to give a range of properties of unbeatable style and value. Swimming pools, complete air conditioning systems and fully fitted kitchens along with high specification fixtures and appliances are as standard and some of the locations are as you'd imagine for a sun drenched tropical climate. If your dream home is a new, fully fitted house set close to beaches and palm trees - then it's achievable and within reach in Pattaya. If you'd like a secure and convenient apartment with furniture and parking or a fully fitted flat in town near the beach - this is realistically achievable also.

If you wish to purchase a property, your best bet in any situation is to use an agent or developer that has been established for a few years. They will have long-term knowledge of the property trends in a particular region and can easily point out things that may be risky in terms of acquiring property or indicate which problems are surmountable.

Some of the biggest worldwide industries and brand names have a presence in Thailand, either with a subsidiary or full production facilities, and as more firms invest, the country's infrastructure as a whole is continually improved to accommodate the growth. Thailand has an extremely strong manufacturing and agricultural export base which is supported by a vibrant tourism industry.

Thailand is also an original member of The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which is an economic organization bringing ten Asian countries together such as Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia in an effort to give security and economic integration across Asia. In terms of power, this joint agreement relates to the ninth largest economic power worldwide and more countries look set to become involved in the future.

The climate, value for money and an easy going lifestyle are the main reasons individuals decide to invest in Thailand . This normally takes the form of property purchases and small to medium sized business start-ups. Many will take advantage of the relatively low prices compared to its developed neighbours such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and South Korea and can afford to take on a property of vastly higher specification than they could possibly get for the same money in their home country. For some it's a permanent move. For others it's the freedom to live and relax in property abroad that they actually own, or to own a property that can really work for them as an investment in terms of rental or resale.

In terms of risk, there is no more associated risk with property investment in Thailand than anywhere else. Thousands of expats live in Thailand and many have been there for years. There is continuing investment and development in all major cities and this development filters down to surrounding areas over time. This is resulting in an economic environment that's continuing to stabilize and strengthen in terms of employment, advancement and security generally. Property prices may fluctuate in the short-term but this is a factor influenced by the present economic, environmental or political issues rather than the long-term economic projection.

Political unrest, public demonstrations and natural disasters can be a part of any country and this includes Thailand. Life in any country is governed in part by these factors and is reported by the worldwide media to a a greater or lesser degree depending in part on each countries economic relationship. However history has proved that Thailand has a seemingly "Bullet Proof Economy" and those on the ground know the real story and the evidence of continued major property development in Thailand would indicate that things are being set for an optimistic future.

On a more practical level, investment can be determined by personal access to a country in terms of residency such as visas and investment regulations for foreigners. These are difficulties faced by any foreigner investing abroad. Thailand does have the usual application processes and restrictions and these are generally in a state of flux due to frequent changes in political views or immigration policies, but generally, these hurdles can be overcome on a long-term basis with the right advice and research.
