Thanks very much nevets
Its really appreciated, great looking house you have there.
I am an avid property investor here in Perth, Australia.
Im only 30 but have 4 investment properties so crunching numbers weather to build now and sacrafice some capital growth here in Australia or build later and capitalise on the growth here.
Anyways thanks again for your replies.

I am an Australian and have a house in Hua Hin that fits your description. I no longer have any property in Australia, but in your situation I would not consider investing in Thailand just yet. You will have a much more secure investment in Australia, with a better return on it, than you will ever get in Thailand.

And on another point, I would not consider building a house in Thailand, but rather look at relatively new existing properties, of which there is a huge choice for sale. (including mine!)
If you want to ask more questions please do so.

Spot on and good advice Nereus. IMO housing standards in LOS a very poor 2nd to those in OZ and boy oh boy can they produce some Jerry built ones too (in Oz).
Don't build here - buy from the large range already available - at least you can see what you are getting and as for capital growth - DON"T count on it. There are to many imponderables.
