新冠肺炎疫情促使許多中國公民加快移居泰國的步伐，其中大多數人希望購買可隨時入住的公寓。中國房地產營銷公司居外IQI集團的首席執行官卡希夫·安薩裏(Kashif Ansari)認為，中國買家急於立即搬到泰國，而不是等待兩年。“如果中國公民計劃移居泰國，他們希望馬上行動，而不是在兩年內。這些是先行者。”中國政府的“零新冠肺炎”政策是這一變化背後的主要推動因素，買家感到了大流行前從未有過的緊迫感。《曼穀郵報》報道，根據set上市開發商Supalai Plc的董事總經理Tritecha Tangmatitham的說法，由於擔心中國國內的封鎖，中國買家於2022年初恢複在曼穀購買公寓。“中國人購買了大戶型的公寓，想馬上入住，所以想立即轉讓。”在set上市的開發商Noble Development Plc聯合首席執行長Busrapan指出，中國買家的關注點已經從投資轉向購買第二套住房。“去年，活躍的中國買家尋找更大的公寓，因為他們想一家人住在一起。“中國的需求也轉向了低層住宅。” Pongsethorn Jom Salakshana, the CEO of Fynn Development Co, confirms that Chinese agents are approaching the company as their customers are interested in the company’s recently completed condo project, Fynn Asoke. “More Chinese want a second home outside China after experiencing the zero-Covid policy. They now need ready-to-move-in units which were in a limited number in the Bangkok condo market as new supply was halted for three years.” Ansari predicts that over time, there will be more Chinese buyers who are willing to wait for the project. “Thai developers need to address buyers’ anxieties. The fact that construction has stalled on many development projects in China has made buyers more cautious, and that includes considering off-the-plan projects in Thailand.” Ansari suggests that developers should explain how buyers are legally protected and demonstrate their track record of successful projects. According to Juwai IQI’s enquiry data, the top five countries receiving the most Chinese buyer interest in January 2023 were Australia, the US, Canada, the UK, and the United Arab Emirates. Thailand, a perennial favourite among Chinese buyers, did not secure a spot in the top five. However, Ansari notes that this trend could change as more data is gathered. Though the top five countries have imposed new Covid measures against arrivals from China, Ansari does not believe that testing requirements will have a significant impact on Chinese travellers. “The requirements are minor and easy to comply with. The bigger challenge is airline capacity and the cost of flights.”
