Mortgage Comparison: Thailand: Bangkok vs USA: Hawaii !

Another daily dose of average mortgage comparisons, this is for anyone who's ever dreamed of packing up and moving somewhere new and exciting ;D

Now here we have Thailand, the city of Bangkok!,
Bangkok is the capital, largest urban area and primary city of Thailand. Known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, meaning "city of angels" for short, it was a small trading post at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River during the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It came to the forefront of Siam when it was given the status as the capital city in 1768 after the burning of Ayutthaya. However, the current Rattanakosin Kingdom did not begin until 1782 when the capital was moved across the river by Rama I after the death of King Taksin.

Average House Price: $75,000
Average Mortgage:  $83,100


VS 


And here we have the USA, the city of Hawaii!
Hawaii is the newest of the 50 U.S. states (August 21, 1959), and is the only U.S. state made up entirely of islands. It occupies most of an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean, southwest of the continental United States, southeast of Japan, and northeast of Australia. Hawaii’s natural beauty, warm tropical climate, inviting waters and waves, and active volcanoes make it a popular destination for tourists, surfers, biologists, and volcanologists alike. Due to its mid-Pacific location, Hawaii has many North American and Asian influences along with its own vibrant native culture. Hawaii has over a million permanent residents along with many visitors and U.S. military personnel.


Average House Price: $180,000
Average Mortgage:  $200,000

So theres the facts guys, Thailand is cheaper on this occasion but Hawaii has palm tree's and lush beaches everywhere, Where would you prefer to live? ;D
