With a tight budget, focus on the tasks that reduce the biggest risk quickly. Prioritize roof and sealing work to stop leaks, then clean and repair gutters and drainage so rainwater drains away from the building. Ensure pumps, backup power, and surge protection are functioning, and check electrical safety and waterproofing around electrical enclosures. Improve exterior seals on doors and windows to reduce humidity and salt spray ingress. Address salt corrosion by washing exposed metal, lubricating moving parts, and replacing worn fittings before they fail. Confirm service history or require independent assessment, and request a simple, documented maintenance plan from a trusted local technician. Coordinate with a local manager to respond to issues promptly and keep receipts and photos for your records. Maintenance needs vary by exposure, age and construction quality, so tailor tasks to your property. This is general guidance; obtain current independent Thai technical advice for your situation.
