The Development
This prime residential development is set in the hills over looking Bophut, the internationally famous Fisherman’s Village on the tropical island of Koh Samui, Thailand. The project has stunning views across Bophut and the ocean toward the island of Koh Phangan. The area is known as “Banyan Heights” its location gives this project a clear edge over many others.
The land rises steeply from front to back. The difference in elevation is approximately 30m, giving each villa spectacular sea views.
Key Features From planning and design to innovation and creativity Palm Construction pushes the boundaries to new heights. A key component in every project is to exemplify excellence in sustainable design. Toward this end, the architectural and landscape incorporate environmentally sustainable or “green” standards. Green features include: waste minimization and material recycling during the construction process, native landscaping, high efficiency irrigation, added building insulation, Energy Star appliances and fixtures, zero VOC paints, ventilation systems, moisture barriers and an innovative resident education program that includes financial incentives for energy efficient living and twenty-first century housing. In addition to the “big picture” benefit of sustainability and reduced environmental costs, residents will enjoy lower utility bills, healthier homes and positive publicity.
Pre-Construction Consulting
Prior to any project starting we work with the client to determine and design in risk adverse ‘buildability’, (i.e. that it can be built, it will be built, it will be problem free) and to ensure ‘economy’ (i.e. that it can and will be delivered at the most cost effective price without compromising quality). We evaluate all potential life cycle costs of the building and recommend materials that will provide maintenance free solutions. We assess planning and building requirements to highlight and design out or minimize any risk.
Cross-Market Expertise
Our core construction business is geared to creating individual, innovative and dynamic building environments and solutions for customers ranging from property developers to end-users. Palm Construction has earned a market-leading reputa-
tion, which is highlighted by the fast growth it has had over the past 3-years. Palm Construction and its associated companies are focusing on those market areas and services where we are able to bring a world of knowledge through our in-house expertise and resources.

Company Profile Global Financial Services Australasia (GFS Ltd.) and its associated companies have been offering mortgages and financing in the United Kingdom since 1987. Currently working with Palm Construction, Co. Ltd. In Thailand, GFS is the pioneer in its field and is working hard to show investors a new, safer and better way to find financial freedom in Asia. Based in Guernsey, Channel Island, GFS specializes in providing offshore financing that could help you take advantage of the savings, investments, and provide tax-planning opportunities. Our clear financial services give everyone the opportunity to invest in property overseas without the normal constraints of most financial institutions. For people who are wise and prudent with their investments, these uncertain markets can be turned into their favor. Creating better, safer and more manageable financing over the long term will pay dividends well into the future. Many individuals who wish to purchase property in Asia have limited cash on hand but have a good income stream that is guaranteed and can be counted on well into the future. Many individuals or couples have retirement or other investments, such as superannuation funds, that they can count on for security. The guarantee of these incomes will allow for proper financing that will give them the freedom to make small regular payments without the need to have a large amount of cash up front. With financing of up to 60%* of the property’s value, a fixed interest rate and with terms of up to fifteen years are available GFS is braking new boarders. GFS requires no secondary security leaving all your other investments and assets secure and free should further financing be required on them. * When investing abroad, your tax situation will depend on your personal circumstances. We recommend that you obtain independent tax advice. You must consider not only the laws of citizenship and permanent residency, but also the laws in jurisdictions where you have investments or are temporarily residing. GFS Ltd �Overseas Property Investing Made Easy�
Solid and Risk Free Financing Now Available in Asia Many foreigners who wish to purchase property or a dream home in Asia soon discover that, unless they have the cash on hand, obtaining financing is either very risky or not available at all. Many different financing options and alternatives have been suggested, and while every choice has some merits, many have dangerous pitfalls. And until recently, none have stood the test of time. Worsening the problems of the already difficult circumstances in getting financing for Asian property investments for foreigners is the current situation in the United States of the sub-prime mortgage meltdown. It is slowing all of the world’s markets making it more difficult for anyone to get the needed funds. Because of all these challenges facing potential investors into the Asian property market it is imperative that individuals research all choices available for managing their investments. Choosing the wrong investment vehicle will have severe repercussions well into the future. However, for people who are wise and prudent with their investments, these uncertain markets can be turned into their favor. If investors structure their financing correctly and sensibly from day one, their investment will stand a better than fair chance of success. Creating better, safer and more manageable financing over the long term will pay dividends well into the future. Many individuals who wish to purchase property in Asia have limited cash on hand but have a good income stream that is guaranteed and can be counted on well into
the future. Many individuals or couples have retirement or other investments, such as superannuation funds, that they can count on for security. The guarantee of these incomes will allow for proper financing that will give them the freedom to make small regular payments without the need to have a large amount of cash up front. With the right financing you can enjoy your investment now. Financing your investment over the long term will give you and your family many more years of enjoyment while lowering the risk. When looking to buy property anywhere in the world, whether at home or overseas, financing would lower the risk involved. If you are an individual with limited funds you should be taking steps from day one to cover any unforeseen financial circumstances. If you are a cash buyer then increasing your return by using the correct financing options will open doors to other opportunities plus helping you to secure your investment earlier. Whether a cash investor or not, making mistakes could leave your investment, and even your own home, very much at risk.
Some Current Financing Choices Local financing – In countries such as Thailand, financing comes with many headaches, such as strict residency requirements and permanent resident status. The amount offered when financing locally can also be considerably lower than required by most overseas investors.
Refinancing – Refinancing your home in your own country is another alternative, but it is not risk free by any means. If you run into financial difficulty and are unable to meet your mortgage re-payments both your overseas and your own home will be sent into foreclosure. Taking out extra financing would also restrict your ability to borrow money in your own country. Finally, your local tax office my take great interest in your investments overseas which may in turn incur offshore taxes. Builder or builder linked financing also has its pitfalls. As long as the building company continues to operate, your financing should remain unchanged. However, should the building company at any time during the term of the loan cease operations or be sold your financial agreement will become the property of an independent liquidator or an individual. The new owner of your mortgage may not perceive the financing you had with the original financer as a true or legal financial arrangement or a legitimate transaction and therefore not honor your agreement. The new owner might then ask for full repayment of your loan immediately, and there would be little legal recourse available to you. So what is the answer? How can a couple or individual gain the financing they need without all the unnecessary risks and pitfalls currently out there? Global Financial Services Australasia (GFS Ltd.) has created a way to finally deliver financial freedom to investors and homebuyers alike by offering true financing within Asia without all the above mentioned pitfalls. GFS is able to offer financing of up to 60%* of the property’s value, a fixed interest rate and with terms of up to fifteen years. This may well be the answer everyone has been waiting for when it comes to financing their dream home or lucrative property assets. GFS requires no secondary security leaving all your other investments and assets secure and free should further financing be required on them. Financing with a fixed interest rate is a must as variable rates may in the future affect your ability to meet payments. GFS has a fixed interest rate of 7.6% for the full term of the loan. Informing your local tax office of your overseas investments and possible returns is
left to your discretion. Should a matter arise with your tax officer, your local financing here in Asia could be a very useful way of offsetting any possible capital gains. GFS offers all clients the option of having their financing referred to as the Financial Assistance Agreement (FAA) registered in their own country to provide total satisfaction and peace of mind. GFS Ltd and its associated companies have been offering mortgages and financing in the United Kingdom since 1987. Currently working with Palm Construction Co., Ltd. in Koh Samui, Thailand, GFS is the pioneer in its field and is working hard to show investors a new, safer and better way to find financial freedom in Asia. To learn how you can have you dream home on Koh Samui or invest in property here, contact Palm Construction at (66) 77 961 991 or visit their website at www.palmconstruction.com.au. *GFS’s final financial assistance margin depends on the overall value of the development, the developer and the country. Further costs may be incurred on certain options. An application fee is payable on submission of your application to GFS. GFS is a limited company registered in Guernsey, Channel Islands, United Kingdom.

Koh Samui Koh Samui, Thailand’s third largest Island is 496 km south of Bangkok part of the province of Suratthani. It has developed in recent years into one of the most sought after holiday destinations in South East Asia. This is not surprising since it has maintained its own charm despite construction and increasing numbers of holiday makers. Deserted beaches and a glamorous nightlife co-exist next to each other along with local glass noodle soup and lobster thermion. There are many options for couples and families, all facilities are available for water sports fanatics and sun seekers. Canoeing, sailing, diving, para sailing, boat trips and much more... The beaches of Chaweng , Lamai, Bophut and Maenam are better known but there are many other bays accessible from the ring road that stretches approximately 50 km around the island. The interior of the island consists of accessible tropical rain forest and offers possibilities for trekking tours, jeep safaris, elephant safaris or a refreshing bath under one of the many waterfalls. In such an idyllic setting the temptation is simply to laze peacefully on the beach and
soak up a tropical suntan. But if you want more there are amenities for water sports, such as windsurfing and snorkeling on most beaches. The coastal waters are exciting to explore and are especially rich in shoals of brightly colored fish and exotic coral formations. Among Samui’s natural sights are two picturesque waterfalls, Hin Lat and Na Muang. Island hopping is another attraction and boats can be easily hired for trips to Ko Pha Ngan (the nearest and largest island next to Samui), and to the smaller islands of Ko Tao and Ko Nangyuan where beautiful bays excellent for snorkeling and diving. A more adventurous full day excursion can be made to Ang Thong Marine Park, a group of 40 islands northwest of Samui. Here you will see spectacular limestone formations, caves, blue lagoons and amazingly beautiful beaches. So there you have it, we just hope that you enjoy one of the most beautiful and relaxing places on earth!

*Please note: By law one token payment a year must be made. This will in turn reduce the interest on outstanding.
Upon the completion of the 10-year term the remaining balance and interest is due. The property is the only security retain by the lender. Should the purchaser not wish to repay the outstanding balance the property will return to the lender. GFS guarantees no further action will be taken, personally or otherwise, against any party should the purchaser take this option. Should the purchaser transfer ownership or sell the property at any stage or upon completion of the 10-year term the remaining balance and interest is due upon settlement of the sale to the lender. If your intention is to sell/retain the property at the end of the 10-year term GFS recommends, if possible, some payments are made during the 10-year term. This would dramatically lower the interest charge over the term. Exchange rates as of May 2009
