With the elections successfully concluded after the military coup
last year - investor confidence has started to return to Thailand. The local (Samui) market took a big nosedive at the time of the coup - as indeed did other parts of Thailand - but what that means now is that there are many REAL bargains to be snapped up.
Most foreign investment goes into the fastest growth industries - which in the case of Thailand generally is the burgeoning tourism and hospitality industry. Believe it or not, Bangkok (after London) is the second most popular tourist destination in the world - with over 10-million visitors a year streaming in.
Yet the fact is; Bangkok only acts as a hub - the tourists rarely stay there - they tend to end up in places like Pattaya, Phuket and (especially) Samui - which has 1.2 million visitors a year - ALL in need of accomodation.
Out of those three locations, Samui is attracting by far the most serious investor attention - for one reason and one reason only - its a very small island!
What this means to you - the investor - is that you will see the famous law of supply and demand start to kick into action. Today's low prices are BOUND to rocket simply because the land available for building here is fast running out. (Think Monaco, Hawaii, Ibiza).
Getting in NOW means you will see your investment become far more valuable and grow that much quicker than places like sprawling Pattaya or Phuket - simply because there is no real shortage of land in those two locations.
There are many different types of businesses available - both small and large, for sale or lease - and something to suit most everyone.
When you arrive on the island our local Samui Support Team will take you to view those you are interested in. Good hunting!
