Here is an update of my chart, with the whole year 2007.
This chart shows the “Condos/Apartments Registrations Nationwide“, per units, from 2000 to 2007 (source Land Department, stats here).
Definition given by the Bank Of Thailand : “This is the request to register the developers’ condominium when the construction of condominium and facility is complete 100%, excluding decorating.”
Orange = Bangkok. Yellow = other provinces.
“The market is healty” . Bangkok had in 2007 a growth of 11,7 %, down from +34 % in 2006 compare to 2005.
More and more new condos built, everywhere. We shall rejoice ourselves.


Don’t talk about that. I used to live next to BEC Tero, where Suan Lum Night bazaar still stand, but not for long… Let me know when it goes down to be replaced by one of these ugly useless and spiritless shopping mall…
Ah… if you have some kind of nostalgia… you’ll probably suffer.
The pace is much slower than in Beijing or Shangai of course… but we can assume that the pressure toward “open spaces” like night bazar, is likely to increase.
The land is just too attractive there… And the owner of this land will look for higher… yields.
