Investment Property in Koh Samui - Thailand
Koh Samui Real Estate
Tourism to Thailand is growing 13% year on year and nowhere is more popular with tourists than the island of Koh Samui. There are more five star resorts and hotels on Koh Samui than on any other island in South East Asia - to meet the rising demand from visitors at the higher end of the tourism market; with the most disposable income. And what is popular with tourists, especially wealthy tourists -- soon becomes popular with overseas property investors
Visitors to Koh Samui are attracted to the tropical climate, and turquoise warm waters, both in the sea and private outdoor pools that most Thailand resort properties are sold with.
The great thing about Koh Samui investment property, is that most of the tourism comes from within the region. This means even if global markets slow, Koh Samui's tourism industry will not suffer a great deal, especially because most analysts predict Asia will remain strong in the face of global adversity.
Just as the smart money 4 years ago went on a Bangkok apartment as that market began to emerge, and prices for such apartments have at least doubled over that time, now the smart money for a Thailand property investment is a resort property in an area of massive or growing tourism -- an area like Koh Samui.
Koh Samui has been popular for a while and the market is semi-mature, which, while it does unfortunately mean prices are in the mid-high bracket (£100,000-£200,000), it also means that Koh Samui's expansion has proven itself to be sustainable. The fact that prices are still far lower than in the mature market of Phuket, means it is not done expanding yet, so there is still plenty of room for a big profit.
In short: Koh Samui has the affordable property and potential for profitability of an emerging market, with the security of an established market.
