Looked at buying in AKA. 6% guaranteed for 2 years looks attractive but I wouldn't be too optmistic about maintaining that return given the astronomical rent being sought @ $300 per night. I know that they are only budgeting 35% occupancy but plenty 5 star resorts offering excellent accomodation at half the cost. The swimming pool is just a large fish tank. The cost per sq ft is also high - can buy 2k sq ft villa with larger pool for $140/160k. Bacically, you're paying Irish prices (maybe not Dublin prices though!). Sorry !

Couldnt agree more mike. Just as my parents generation were, the Thais are hooked on the idea of the surburbian utopia but some of us just dont wanna live in a cul-de-sac. I used to cycle round HH and see some great places for sale 5 minutes walk from the beach, so what if the masonry's crumbling and the yard is overgrown, in the future someone will probably knock it down and put flats(apartments) on it anyway. And that was in the not so long ago days when you could buy a house for less than a mill!
thanks for the comments about AKA
Thanks lads for the comments/opinions, But what would be more helpfull at this point is info about the place like does anybody live near this place and if so could they buzz up and have a look and then give some comment and perhaps a digital photo if thats not too cheeky.

Hi Brentaz
We too are looking to buy a place in HH this year, but would not buy without seeing location. I will be in HH for 4 weeks in July will buz over to AKA resort and check the place out. YOu don't say how much you have paid, I am looking for an older property to do up in my own style. Good luck and hope you enjoy HH it is a great place.
