中国香港的房价上涨也促使当地投资者转向海外寻找机会。

“泰铢目前处于6年低点，外国投资者可以利用这个机会，通过当地货币交易，以更便宜的价格购买泰国房产。” 世邦魏理仕（CBRE）泰国区董事总经理阿里瓦萨·帕斯娜得布特尔（Aliwassa Pathnadabutr）称，“中国香港也一直是（投资）曼谷房产的首要买家，我们预计今年以内这种趋势也将延续。”

代表泰国开发商的世邦魏理仕指出，位于曼谷湄南河河岸的私人住宅四季项目于5月16日和17日在中国香港举行一次展览，受到很大的反响。

帕斯娜得布特尔称，这个展览为总部位于泰国的国际地产开发商康蒂地产（Country Group Development）带来了7亿泰铢（合1.62亿港元）的销售额，这是世邦魏理仕所记录的泰国豪华房产项目中国香港单次路演的最高纪录。

康蒂地产没有透露房产具体销量，不过指出平均销售价格是每平方米30万泰铢。

“这是我们项目在1月份问世以来第一次正式海外展览… 作为我们的销售战略的一部分，旨在进入亚洲市场，” 康蒂地产首席执行官本·塔莎博尔（Ben Taechaubol）说。

塔莎博尔，泰国的租金收益率为6%-7%，四季项目也在范围之内。

塔莎博尔说路演期间，没有买家显示担忧。他说：“外国人热衷于投资曼谷市中心区域，他们认为资本进一步升值的机会。”

“世邦魏理仕向外国人销售的房产所占比例可以证明这一点， 2015年第一季度，这一比例从2014年第四季度的18%上升到22%。”

兰德斯库普克里斯蒂国际房地产公司（Landscope Christie's International Real Estate）的创始人兼首席执行官谷耿辛（Koh Keng-sing）说，随着中国香港房地产价格飙升，越来越大的中国香港投资者转向曼谷购买房产。

谷耿辛表示他的客户正在寻找定价在80万港元至200万港元以内的房产。

房地产咨询公司也指出，泰国公寓外国不动产所有权配额为总建筑面积的49%，地产和房屋在租赁的基础上才能提供给外国人。

Hong Kong and Chinese buyers show renewed interest in Thai properties

Hong Kong and mainland Chinese buyers have shown renewed interest in properties in Bangkok, spurred by a weakening Thai currency and more stable political outlook, according to property consultants.

Rising prices in Hong Kong have also prompted local investors to look for opportunities overseas.

"With the baht at a six-year low, foreign investors can take advantage of this opportunity to buy Thai properties at a cheaper price in their local currencies," said Aliwassa Pathnadabutr, the managing director of CBRE (Thailand). "Hong Kong has also long been the top foreign nationality for [investment in] Bangkok properties and we expect this to be maintained … for the rest of this year."

CBRE, acting on behalf of a Thai developer, saw a strong response for the Four Seasons Private Residences Bangkok at Chao Phraya River during an exhibition in Hong Kong on May 16 and 17.

The show brought sales of 700 million baht (HK$162 million) for luxury developer Country Group Development, Pathnadabutr said, the highest recorded by CBRE at a single roadshow for a Thai luxury project in Hong Kong.

Country Group did not reveal the number of units sold but the average price of the units is 300,000 baht per square metre.

"This was our first official exhibition overseas since the launch of our project in January … as part of our sales strategy aimed at tapping into the Asian market," Country Group chief executive Ben Taechaubol said.

The rental yield in Thailand was 6 per cent to 7 per cent and the Four Seasons project was within the range, he said.

Taechaubol said no concerns were expressed by buyers during the roadshow.

Pathnadabutr said: "Foreigners are keen to invest in prime downtown Bangkok as they see opportunities for further capital appreciation.

"This is evidenced by the number of units sold by CBRE to foreigners, which has risen from 18 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2014 to 22 per cent in the first quarter of 2015."

Koh Keng-sing, the chief executive and founder of Landscope Christie's International Real Estate, said more Hong Kong investors were looking to buy properties in Bangkok for investment as property prices in Hong Kong surged.

Koh said his clients were looking for properties priced between HK$800,000 and HK$2 million.

Property consultants say the foreign freehold ownership quota for condominiums is set at 49 per cent of the total floor area. Landed property and houses are offered on a leasehold basis to foreigners.
