this is a really good thread. to answer question yes I still go to dominican republic but i also own condo in thailand. everything said in this thread is accurate about the 51% ownership. go for condos/apts instead of houses since you cannot own land there. most eastern peoples live in modern vertical buildings, single family homes are really an american ideal unless you're in the countryside. on that note, you can rent my pattaya condo for 10k baht/mo long term or slightly more for short term. FS for 1.7mb
