Koh Samui Land 
Koh Samui Land
Koh Samui is a rapidly expanding property market
within Thailand, and given Thailand's enviable and ever growing
reputation as a holiday destination throughout the world, it was almost
inevitable that there would follow a boom in the high-end market in Koh
Samui. This has been in full flow for a number of years already. With
countless spectacular locations, lots of luxury developments with
high-quality facilities have sprung-up. A large proportion of these are
foreign investors who find that they can generate an income stream from
the rental of these properties through the quality agents on the island.
More and more of these investors are now from Eastern Europe,
especially Russia and also from North America. Along with this the
marketing of the island has increased along with the quality of this
marketing. However this is made much easier by the general high standard
of investment opportunities.
As might be expected the luxury
property prices in Thailand compare very favorably with other markets –
this can obviously vary with exchange rates at different times, but in
general building costs are lower. Within this high-end part of the
market on Koh Samui it is the more secluded areas that are more popular,
to the far north or south of the island which offer great views and
beaches, but also the seclusion that most people looking to purchase at
this level desire.
As I mentioned exchanges rates can have an
effect on the price in real terms to foreign investors – the larger the
investment, the bigger the effect – but as a guide the luxury market
starts at prices of 30 million baht to 100 million (and a small number
of properties over this amount). Designs can differ greatly, so the
choice is wide, depending on taste. All will have large pools, western
or Thai designs or a mixture of the two.
The recent economic downturn
has obviously affected markets all over the world, but certainly as far
a Koh Samui is concerned it has given rise to new level of ideas to
differentiate from the crowd and has resulted in an increased choice of
outstanding properties with many unique features and finishing touches
that you might not imagine to be available anywhere other than Thailand
and especially Koh Samui.Source: http://www.epsamui.com/koh-samui-land.html
