Thailand is Asia’s top tourist destination and offers a world class tourist industry at affordable prices, making it a magnet for visitors, re-locators and property investors alike. Reasonable price combined with good rental possibilities and at present a high yield and great capital appreciation on your investment make it a good opportunity to combine business with pleasure.

Thailand Property is attracting significant foreign investment and Thailand has become one of the Asian Economic Tigers and one of the fastest-growing economies in the region. It is the right time to buy, since with the volume of tourism increasing every year, land and house values are constantly rising with no visible plateau in sight. With an international marina on the drawing board, the presence of Tesco Lotus, Bangkok Airways fleet expansion and the newly finished Santiburi Golf Course, one can clearly see that Koh Samui is in a phase of rapid and prolonged development.

As Samui grows from tropical beach resort to a fully serviced community with international standard hospitals, airport, schools, shopping, communications, marina and leisure facilities, longer term foreign residence becomes feasible. Koh Samui is surging forward accordingly but it is yet to reach its peak. Considering all the investment opportunities available to you at present, house and land outstrips them all in terms of performance. Buying in now will ensure that once the metamorphosis from back-packer to high end travel destination is complete, substantial yields will be generated from managed rental returns and/or the resale value of your property.

Here at Samui Island Estates we can help you find the house of your dreams in a tropical paradise where the costs of living and the quality of life are very attractive; the return on your investment and capital growth better than in western countries - while paying much less than you would have thought out.
