Not a good time to Buy Real Estate in Thailand

Marc Faber said he put 25 per cent of his money in stocks in Europe, Canada, and Asian markets including Thailand, which accounts for the largest chunk of his equity holding in the region. He also believes investors should allocate another 25 per cent of their assets to gold and gold-mining stocks, as the price of the precious commodity is "in the process of bottoming out". As to real-estate investment, Vietnam is very interesting. But it's not a good time to buy real estate in Thailand, including in his hometown of Chiang Mai, where some properties may experience a 30-per-cent price drop.
