Thailand Country Guide

Thailand covers just 517,000 km2 and has a population of around 65,000,000 people. Its capital city is Bangkok and the country uses the Baht as its currency. Thailand is in the GMT/UCT +7 time zone and uses the +66 international dialing code.

Why Choose Thailand?

Thai Climate

Throughout a Thai year the climate can shift considerably. Its highest temperatures fall between late March and early June. May to September is monsoon season and the remainder of the year is certainly more favorable with lower humidity and North Easterly winds creating an entirely enjoyable environment.

Highlights

From Bangkok's modern day landscape that's abundant with varying retail outlets to Chiang Mai's abundance of mystical ancient temples, Thailand has it all. Culturally and inherently mesmerising Thailand holds a dazzling array of attractions for any of its massive number of annual visitors, so from the streams of manic traffic amidst the city scene to relaxing riverside mountains and sun baked beach scenes, prepare to be astounded.

Access Thailand

South East Asia is not only as accessible as you might imagine, it's perhaps far more affordable. Thailand's tourist appeal commands regular service from many major international airports and 2-way tickets from the UK are available from under £255.

Relocate to Thailand

Depending upon your individual circumstances, a visa is available to suit your plans. 30 or 60 day renewable visas are obtainable, along with other long term visas. Any local immigration office can provide you with the relevant documentation. Thailand is certainly an established and contemporary country with all the amenities you could expect from any civilized western scenario. Private pools, prime property, a preferable climate and a lifestyle that for most Europeans is simply unaffordable.

Invest in Thailand

Investors can be assured when they come to buy Thai property, but only with expert guidance. Freehold ownership applies to just buildings not land and even with the availability of renewable long-standing leases or shares in a land ownership business need close scrutiny.

Thai Property Hot-spots

Koh Samui Property

As prices in this trendy tourist region are currently rising, only assertive investors will reap the full rewards to be had from the incomparable investment opportunity that is Koh Samui. By mid 2008 at the latest, this island should've exhausted its full return potential though investments in the region are sure to be rewarding yet perhaps less beneficial after such time.

Phuket Property

Few places survive a tsunami in such style as Phuket. Its incredible allure has attracted investors to a place they're sure has seen its darkest day and can even continue to strengthen and compete with Spain's investment market. Phuket somewhat unsurprisingly boasts the country's highest recreational property rental market too. Property prices have doubled in some regions and with fresh investment in Phuket over the last 4 years, 15-20% capital appreciation has been known.
