Article in Hua Hin Today

I just spotted this - is it real?

It seems perverse compared to whats happening in reality, yet it talks about HH being a place of choice for 2nd homes and retirees?

Yes, it says you must take proper legal advice when buying and that concerns have been raised about the poor advice given in the past.

Irrespective of other comments raised elsewhere on this subject, the Thai authorities are sending out a very mixed message?

The very last paragraph reads as follows:

On the last day of the exhibition Hua Hin Today surveyed both the exhibitors and some of the visitors who were looking for a property to buy. The feeling was very positive and it seems that there is as yet no sign of the property development boom in Hua Hin slowing down. Sales were made, and more importantly, potential buyers and sellers had an opportunity to listen to the important information in the presentations. It appears that Hua Hin's development into a Paradise City is continuing.

Bless 'em!

Hua Hin Today is fully controlled by one of the big players in real estate - so no way I will treat what I read there as anything but advertising. By the way Observer is as well owned by another real estate developer. This information is well known for expats living in this area but might not be so for those readers not living here.

The newspaper Hua Hin Today is owned by the same person who owns Regal Thailand Property - George M. (Did you ever wonder why you see his photo in each & every edition??) Thus, any reporting on Hua Hin real estate is inherently biased and credibility is dubious.

I had no idea - thanks.

I guess that clears that up!

Absolutely true. I have a little running poll going with myself to see how many photos & mentions of himself he can get into each issue. He's managing pretty high scores at the mo. Never mind, I can always recycle newspapers for the dogs (& I find that more useful than gaining information from that particular source)
