Thai Island Property Developing | Thailand Island Property Reviews – Villas For Sale Rent And Lease

Shopping

Samui can be a shopping paradise for tourists, but in the past it was less so for residents. However this has now changed. We now have Tesco Lotus and the smaller Tops supermarkets, which stock not only everything to meet your everyday requirements but an increasing number of imported products, things that you may miss from home. The recent opening of Homepro means that all your DIY needs are taken care of too.

Nightlife

Offering everything from chilled out beach bars to full on beach parties and quiet little drinking holes to thumping discotheques, Samui’s nightlife has something for everyone. With the opening of Q-Bar of Bangkok fame, the island is now starting to attract more exclusive nightlife options. If you are not a night-owl then don’t worry – if you want it it’s there, and if you don’t then it won’t keep you awake at night.

Accessibility

It may be an island but Koh Samui remains within easy reach of the rest of Thailand and Asia with Bangkok Airways ever widening network. You can be in Bangkok in an hour, and connect to flights around the world. It is also only a short flight to both Singapore and Hong Kong, both equally important travel hubs. So while it still retains the feel of a true tropical island the rest of the world is not too far away.

Restaurants

The quality and range of restaurants on the island seems to be continually improving. You can now find everything from Thai food stalls and western fast food all the way up to the finest French cuisine, and everything in between. In fact it is now easier to list the types of food that you can’t find here now than those that you can.

Climate

What better way to escape from the cold of Europe than to spend the winter months on Samui. With temperatures rarely dropping below the low 20′s Celsius even during the coolest season the sun is almost always shining. Even the rain is warm!

Environment

Despite the teething problems that so often affect places which experience a huge increase in popularity, Samui still remains a beautiful island. The beaches, forests, waterfalls and mountains all contribute towards the feeling of living in a tropical paradise, and with proper planning this will remain for future generations to enjoy.

People

What would Thailand or indeed Samui be without the Thai people? It is after all one of the reasons that so many people return to this country. Their friendly smiles and generally easy going nature make them a pleasure to deal with (even if the ‘mai pen rai’ factor can become a little frustrating at times when you need something done quickly!)

Services

The island now has almost every service you may require. Your health needs are well taken care of with a number of International standard hospitals.

Investment Potential

It is estimated that the growth in property prices in the last five years is over 100%, and it is showing no sign of slowing in the foreseeable future.

If you are not planning to stay year round it is equally good news. The demand for rental property is high, with many return visitors preferring to stay in villa type accommodation rather than hotels or resorts. Therefore even as the value of your property is rising there is also the potential to realise more immediate returns on your investment.

If you want to experience the best of Thailand in a safe environment and only moments away from all the amenities and facilities you could possibly want then Koh Samui is the place to go.

Spa resorts are in abundance on the island and they offer peace, tranquillity and a whole host of luxurious treatments that will leave you feeling purified and whole again after the hustle and bustle of everyday life. And as soon as you’re feeling refreshed and energised it’ll be time to hit the abundance of excellent shops and boutiques or to go for a night out on the town where you can watch cabaret, go bar hopping, dine exquisitely or just while away an evening on the beach star gazing.

If all this sounds like your idea of heaven on earth you’re not alone – Koh Samui is great, it is well worth a visit but don’t blame me if you’re hooked and want to stay for life! There are new residential developments springing up in areas zoned and protected specifically for low rise residential construction and these developments all offer a taste of Thailand Island property combined with contemporary architecture. One of the latest is Infinity Samui which consists of condos, penthouses and villas with infinity pools and infinity sea views. On site there is a spa and all residents will be treated to five star hotel like service – so you can actually live a life of affordable luxury in one of the most desirable places on earth – which is why we truly believe Koh Samui is just so great!
