 Even though Phuket is a small island it has been forgotten by those further up. For the first time the government is now looking at establishing a small rail service for Phuket. This will enhance not only the island but add value to the property on the island. Phuket property is much cheaper than property in Spain but it is the overal cost of living that makes Phuket a far better place to buy a holiday or retirement home for you and your family. Property values even though stable now while we go through the global rescession, are set to take off again in 2010. Now might be a good time to invest in property in Phuket. |

 We have always advocated for years that before you invest in any property in Thailand that you should always speak to a registered attorney first. It has however become clear that many still believe in everything they read on the internet and forums who end up losing their investments in Thailand. Like any other country you always have to consult an attorney who not only speaks proper English to avoid any mis-understanding but also someone who is registered with a bar council. The latest news in Phuket however has simply highlighted the problems which can occur when you invest without applying your mind. |

 Buying any form of real estate especially in Thailand does take a fair amount of research due to the restrictions placed on property by the Thai government. Amoungst these are that foreigners may only own 49% of a condominium complex and may not own any land directly. Over the years many have tried to circumvent these by placing the property in the name of their Thai wives or girlfriends with the end result not being favourable. Before you buy any property in Thailand - be it a house in Issaan or a villa in Phuket, always consult an attorney first before you end up losing your investment or nest egg. |
