Hua Hin Forum

I and my wife are looking for property investment in hua hin. We went through all the real estate agents and finally we liked a 3 bedroom pool villa from property hua hin today. We would like to know about some one who had a good experience from here. How would you recommend it? Have a look at this...

Sj little device does not sound too promising. I have fairly decent internet via TOT and can work in the sala roughly 15m from the box but cannot reach any further. Total land area is only 2000 sqm roughly 50x40m. Having just built an office some 30m from the box what can I do to boost the signal? ...

Much depends on the size and location of property Whaler which we haven't detailed. Margaret, agreed I was just showing a typical family home in the NW in a small town has a reasonable income, stick it in a major town or city and double it, or treble for London. Even the right parts of Aberdeen can...

But the discussion does seem pretty UK centric. There's nobody out there saying 'yes, I'd keep the house in Munich' or Paris or Detroit or wherever. And it is that UK owner-occupier mind-set which is driving the philosophy. It seems to be pre-supposed that there is intent to return to the UK either...

Seems a lot of unneccessary hassle working the house money for the next 30 years just to pay for the house :D SJ Exactly my concerns and thoughts :D as I said previously most understand property and renting having the skill to get the extra 2 or 3 % or more is another thing IMO I certainly agree to...

Another advantage that renting has is the flexibility it gives you. If circumstances change you can always quickly downsize to something cheaper or move to a different area. There's the very real possibility of waiting for many months trying to sell a multi- million Baht property that's now become ...

Good points made earlier as well about 'distance' letting - ie letting a property back home while living in HH. Lomu is best placed to comment on this. From what I've seen personally it's a catch 22 minefield even when living very close to the property you are letting. Much depends on the attitude ...

Yes but to buy back in to the UK/Europe market is a lot more than HH and it's at a low prices wise already with only more potential for tourism Let’s say it's going to cost 200K UKP to get maybe a 1000 UKP/month rental, so with 10M Bhts what can we buy/build and get a return of ? I know of one chap ...

Has anyone done some numbers on buying 2 modest properties with the view to rent one and live in the other instead of getting one big one. Would this work or be better in HH than having one in HH and a rented one back in homeland ?, to offset costs.

I had a nice surprise, my builder not only drilled his own well he added these filters, so most of my problems are solved and just need small local ones near my tanks

I have always had variable rate, apart from when there was specials if you threatend to leave you often got a 1 to 2% reduction for 2 or 3 years and then return back to variable. I recall many opted for fixed rates based on 3 or 5 year options which were sold by convincing you that you could budget....

Not very well if at all if you have MAC's ok ish otherwise but not compatable with newer Linksys routers

As I say, that is my cost of living based figure - which could change. Obviously, if you want to use a different starting point such as buying a property, and not having to pay rent, then your spreadsheet is different. As a generalisation, it is a bargain basement calculation, designed more to show...

Thanks for the correction
