How to Invest in Pattaya
I have been told that Pattaya was once a small fishing village, how things have changed. As real estate is always a hot topic in Pattaya, we have included a few helpful topics like “How to find a good real estate agent” which is a great place to start building your very own TRUMP empire. We then move on to “How to speculate on property” and helping you understand the offeres like “Guaranteed rentals returns”, and housing trends for the future of homes in SEA to keep you on top of the latest trends. Check out our coverage on the Thailand Property Awards, and also our feature on Siam Oriental Condo to see some of the most exciting projects in real estate at the moment. On another note, Pattaya Trader would like to extend our gratitude to the staff at the Holiday Inn during the recent Movers & Shakers event, for providing service above and beyond to one of our staff due to a minor medical incident. The Holiday Inn staff demonstrated 5 star service, and we weren’t even staying at the hotel. Very well done. On the flipside we bring back Absolute Beauty to discuss how everybody can have supermodel eyes, and believe it or not Pattaya has a few things it can teach you, that you don’t involve a bar fine!

ess than eight months after its grand opening, the five-star luxury Centara Grand Phratamnak Pattaya hotel is already being ranked by TripAdvisor as number five out of 361 hotels in Pattaya. The TripAdvisor rating is 94 per cent, based on reviews and star-ratings provided by guests who have stayed at the hotel posted to the international travel website, which is regarded as a benchmark for providing information to travellers. Centara Grand Phratamnak Pattaya is located in Pattaya’s exclusive Phratamnak Hill district, and is only steps away from the beach. The architectural style and the interior design of the property lends to its luxurious ambiance, as the hotel features an atrium with glass lifts to service the rooms and the rooftop swimming pool where the signature Italian restaurant Ruffino is also located. The lobby has two

large aquariums and is complemented with marble flooring, crystal chandeliers, onyx tables and furniture from the premier Italian designer Casa Fendi. The hotel’s style and location has also quickly led to it becoming a prime venue for high society and corporate events; on 29th August this year, the hotel played host the inaugural Miss International Russia in Thailand beauty pageant. Fashion TV as well as many other local and international TV stations attended and supported the event, which was an evening of glamour and luxury. The first phase of Centara Grand Phratamnak Pattaya opened in October last year. The second phase, which will include club rooms, suites, a meeting room, and a beach house with Spa Cenvaree, will open in the third quarter of this year. Tulip Group are owners and developers of luxury condominiums and hotels in Pattaya. Currently, Tulip Group has five condominium projects and six upscale hotels under construction, working with local and international hotel operators such as Centara Hotels & Resorts, Accor, Golden Tulip Hotels and Red Sea Group.

HOW TO INVEST IN PATTAYA

uring times like these, where we are in the aftermath of the Military Coupe the investors on the ground here in Pattaya know it is time to buy!
There is a variety of good investment possibilities available in Pattaya and throughout the Eastern Seaboard and all one needs to do is do a little research.
1. Purchasing pre - construction from developers with ‘proven track records’. advantages Investing in a new development project such as Southpoint can be very profitable. Southpoint is the newest development of Kingdom Properties. The location is just superb as it is on the Royal Pratamnak Hill and a 500 meters walk to the Beach. Prepare to discover an enticing new lifestyle and a smart investment at the emerging destination on Thailand’s most vibrant coastline. Southpoint Pattaya marks the point where world class contemporary design, refreshing energy and superb location intersect at Pratumnak, South Pattaya. disadvantages When purchasing pre-construction you must do your research so as to be very sure of the developer. There have been developers in Bangkok and the Eastern Seaboard in the past that have not completed their projects on time….. choose your Real Estate Broker very careful and you will end up with a great deal! 2. New developments under construction or just completed. advantages The advantages is that you will not have to wait a long time to sell or rent out your property. In other words, your investment return is much quicker then in the first category. The second advantage is that you can be much more confident that the project will be completed. In addition, you will also know exactly what the quality is of the materials used and the caliber of finishing work. disadvantages You will pay for the convenience of security with a less profitable investment return as is found in the purchase of units during pre-construction. 3. Owners who need to sell their
properties. advantages At this time the real estate market has some very attractive investment options with many in Pattaya declaring a ‘buyers market’. This is due to the impact of the financial crisis, which has been compounded by the low season. These two ingredients have brought to light a good number of property owners lowering their selling prices and we have also seen a good deal of ‘owner financing’. Terms and conditions always enter the arena during markets such as we are now seeing here on the Eastern Seaboard. disadvantages These types of ‘deals’ tend to come up unexpectedly and usually sell pretty quickly as well. You must have quick and available cash to be able to take advantage of these types of property sales……and the ability to make that decision. Remember…..be prepared for opportunity! 4. Purchasing a home with a tenant and rental contract. advantages If you are the kind of investor that is looking for a real estate investment that will provide you with a reasonable and steady income right from the start, this is your kind of investment. The prices for detached houses compared to condos are much lower but the rent you get is the same. disadvantages One particularly important issue here is ‘knowing’ who is currently renting the property (pays rent on time, clean and neat, low maintenance to the premises, etc.) before you complete the purchase. 5. Purchasing land in areas which will be ‘positive growth’ areas in the
future. (long term investments). advantages This category is a bit more insecure then buying land in an area where your money is not ‘tied up’ for a longer time but at the same time you can make a lot more than with short term investments. Some very good examples would be as in plots in the Bangsaray area, Phoenix Golf Course and the Silverlake Vineyards/ Buddha Mountain area. disadvantages You ‘must’ be ready, if necessary, to wait the necessary amount of time to realize your investment. People that have made long term property investments only to find they ‘have to’ sell early for some reason are sure to lose money. 6. Purchasing land as short term investments in up and coming areas of ‘positive growth’. advantages There are a number of areas which already show good ‘short term’ investment possibilities. Examples are Naklua, Pratamnak Hill, Wongamat, Na-Jomtien and Soi Chaiyapruk, etc. Both commercial and residential plots of land in these areas have been going up steadily in price the last several years and will most likely keep on doing so in the coming years. disadvantages Make sure you know all the necessary information concerning building codes, zoning rights, utilities available, etc. The best plot of land in the best ‘positive growth’ area without any of the basic and necessary building codes, zoning rights and/or utilities available could make or break your investment returns.

Chic Interior design on a shoestring
C
hic interior design can look very expensive but needn’t cost the earth. There are a number of ways you can make a place look elegant but at the same time still save money.
Technology to the rescue The first plan of attack is to get hold of a 3D modeling program so that you can plan your interior and add all the special touches before actually buying any materials. The best 3D programs are the ones that allow you to take a virtual walk through your newly created space so that you can view the finished project from any angle. Also try to find a program that has enough detail such that you can model your own furniture pieces instead of just dragging them in from preset libraries. “With 3D modeling programs you can plan your interior and add all the special touches before actually buying any materials.”

What furniture to choose
DIY or professional labor?
Furniture stores vary widely. You will likely have passed open air warehouse style furniture stores in central Pattaya and Threppasit road as well as some located on the main Sukhumvit highway which have low cost furnishings in place as compared to high end places like Index or SB Design. The offerings in the warehouse style places tend to look cheaper as they have not got the design edge that more expensive pieces have. However you may be able to find some items that look quite close to designer pieces for a lot less money. “Threppasit Rd. and Sukhumvit highway have low cost furnishings stores as compared to high end places like Index or SB Design. “ When dealing with warehouse style stores you can usually negotiate a discount. Look to request a discount after choosing multiple items so that the total can be reduced. In this way you may end up getting a piece of furniture almost for free. For items such as soft furnishings, sofas, bedroom furniture, lighting and accessories it may be worth visiting a designer shop so that you can augment already purchased items with some style. Look to invest in accessories that have definite design traits as these will stand out but won’t cost as much as larger furniture items. Given that you will have already modeled the items in your 3D program it is quite easy to print out various views and have them on you when shopping around.
For some furniture pieces you might want to try the do-it-yourself approach. For example, bed bases and tables can be quite expensive, but in reality they are often just a few pieces of wood bolted together. That said, employing a carpenter to make some of pieces would likely not save you much money. Fitted wardrobes are a good example of a piece of furniture than can work out more expensive than stand alone units as they will be custom built. However, you could elect to buy a cheap wardrobe and replace the door fronts with custom designed ones. In this way you get the benefit of a great designer look without too much expense. “…you could elect to buy a cheap wardrobe and replace the door fronts with custom designed ones.” Once you are happy with all your purchases all that is left to do is to complete the look by installing all the furniture in the positions already chosen in the modeling program. Lighting and accessories can also be fitted at this time to give the optimum look.

Creating a Proper Kitchen in a Studio Condo Hiring an estate agent to sell a property. Communication and language come first
Choosing the right estate agent, or even multiple agents is key for a successful real estate investment. If you think about it, most property buyers choose estate agents based on a property that they may have seen and will follow the purchase through that estate agent based on this fact alone. However, when selling there are many other factors at play that may affect your choice.
“when selling there are many other factors at play that may affect your choice of agent. ” Since the estate agent will be your link with your customers, good communication is key. A good level of English language skill on the part of all staff should be evident but with language in mind you can go further than that. If you are targeting Japanese or Russian buyers for example, then an agent that has employees who can speak those languages would bode well.
Attention to detail and reliability are key To test this you could pose as a buyer to check the service that they provide to potential clients. Check for things such as the speed at which a viewing can be arranged and the fullness of the information provided about a given property. It is not unreasonable to present yourself as a seller later once you are happy with the service, since many people buy and sell properties at the same time. Reputable agents are all around and
24
Issue 122 OCTOBER 2014
many are registered with The Real Estate Brokers Association (Eastern Seaboard) REBA. This is an organization that has a good number of estate agents under its wing that uphold its high standards. “You could pose as a buyer to test out all of the skills and level of service” Another thing to look out for is the presence of various estate agents in the local press and on line. Again, putting yourself in the shoes of a prospective buyer, you can follow through all stages of the buying process to find which agents show up prominently online.
How to keep costs to a minimum You will not likely find any price war taking place with agencies since the overheads for all estate agents in securing a sale are similar. Thus the cost of service is not likely to be much of a factor in your choice.
underpriced, as it will make it easier for the agent to sell it. “You will not likely find any price war taking place with agencies since the overheads for all estate agents in securing a sale are similar.”
How to get the best out of your agent
It is important to keep in touch with your agent regularly to check on the progress of the sale. The property should be listed prominently in the window at the place of business of the agent concerned and you can easily check for that. Check to see if your property is listed in the agent’s website in a prompt manner and also check the local press to see if it is advertised there. When it comes to viewings be sure the property is well presented and scrupulously clean. This will help to turn potential clients into buyers and hopefully will lead to a rapid sale.
That said, you may be able to get a slightly lower rate if you are choosing a sole agent such that they will be the only one acting on your behalf. You may also be able to negotiate a lower rate on a higher priced property (5 million to 10 million baht range). In addition you might be able to secure a lower rate if your property is

Buying property with renovation in mind. Focus on the outside first Although renovation of a property may be more associated with older places in Europe or the US, there are plenty of properties in Thailand that are not so old but that can still be bought with renovation in mind. Most homeowners give up after a few years not willing to continuously reinvest in exterior paint jobs. If you have bought a town house and renovated its exterior then you may find you can have a directly contrasting property to your immediate neighbors, making your place look all the better. Even a single detached house can stand out if other places are looking drab. Look for an external paint job to cost from 60,000 to 100,000 baht including labor and materials. “Look for an external paint job to cost from 60,000 to 100,000 baht including labor and materials. ” Consider white, light crème or even yellow as an exterior color as these shades are in vogue currently. Nano technology means that with some extra outlay paint can be purchased that repels carbon emissions, meaning it will stay bright and new looking for longer. Still, it is the inside of a property that is usually associated with renovation in Thailand.
For a studio or compact one bedroom condo you will likely need to replace all furniture including possibly kitchen units and appliances as well as to repaint the walls and maybe replace flooring. Look for total cost of 150,000 to 200,000 baht. It might be that bed bases can stay and also that some other pieces of furniture such as tables and chairs for dining might still have some life in them. But otherwise everything else should go and their replacements budgeted for. Things such as a sofa can make a big statement so if the sofa is old and you can find a fashionable new one you will instantly transform the living room for example.
The heart of your home: The Kitchen If the microwave is white and the fridge is white, it might now be time to upgrade them to the in vogue aluminum or silver coated alternatives. You will notice in any appliance shop that there is a prevalence of silver colored appliances and just a few white ones left, the complete opposite to five or ten years ago. This shows the paradigm shift in interior design for kitchens and it is best to go with the flow.
Let’s talk about interiors The main reason why interiors get in a state where renovation is required is not so much to do with over use or a poorly looked after property, more so that fashions have been changing very rapidly and what was in vogue just 10 years ago looks dated now. So the renovation will be used to make a property look completely new from what might be a current used state. The reason for there being quite a good number of properties ripe for renovation is simple. Renovating to make a place look new can be expensive and the look might not last so long. Thus owners tend to do this kind of job quite rarely. “Renovating to make a place look new can be expensive and the look might not last so long.”

“There’s a paradigm shift in interior design for kitchens and it is best to go with the flow. ” Consider replacing the hob with an induction style unit as it will be up to date and won’t cost much. The hood, if there is one, should be changed as it will have accumulated cooking odors over its lifetime. Look for a new style digital hood as this will help to make the kitchen look up to date.
Let’s get down and dirty! It’s time for the bathroom For bathrooms much can be achieved with a relatively modest budget. New bathtubs and new hand basins can be bought for just a few thousand baht and a new tiling job will also not be too expensive, though much depends on the size of the room. Look to place tiles from floor to ceiling height and consider fitting a sunken basin into a granite style top that has a cut out for it. This will cost more but will look elegant. When buying a condo for renovation it is important to ensure that the condo, even if in a poor state internally, is at least set into a well-managed building.
“For bathrooms much can be achieved with a relatively modest budget.” Check with the management about the schedule for the next external repainting and be sure to look at the accounts to make sure ample funds have been collected from unit owners. Then you can renovate the inside of the unit knowing that everything outside of the property will also be well kept.

Homes of the future in Thailand
here are plenty of new technologies and architectural advancements that are going to make our future homes more energy efficient and resilient to natural disasters.
Energy production and water heating Some ideas being floated include windows made up of thousands of independent tiles, like pixels on a computer screen. These can be programmed to open and close individually allowing different patterns of airflow. They can also be intelligently tinted to allow for different levels of tint across the entire space. With new technologies being developed, transparent or coloured solar panels are
likely to be seen such that the windows of a building also act as solar receptors that generate electricity. Battery backups and other generation systems will also be on site so that the home can have an independent power supply in case of a power outage. Other technological advancements for future homes include refined water heating methods using the suns direct rays. This avoids the inefficiency of turning solar energy into electricity and then into heat to bring the water temperature up. Optimum air temperature is another important area where future technology is concerned. Air conditioning systems are being designed that are more power efficient than any of those before. By centrally controlling all air conditioners in a building, perfect air temperature can be achieved even with some air con units turned down low or even off completely. When connected to the internet the system will allow occupants to start air conditioners in advance of their arrival, gradually cooling down various rooms and saving energy that would otherwise be used when trying to quickly cool down a place that is overly hot. Similar systems can be used for lighting and security such that remote control of these devices can be incorporated over the internet. Security systems can be in place that detect movement and deploy cameras and silent alarms in case of any intrusion. Automatic timing switches are not new but intelligent ones are starting to become more widespread
36

by Brian S.
to the extent that time is not the only factor in the switch’s actions. It could be that electronically controlled window shades can be deployed as light levels drop or cooking appliances can be switched on or off as occupants pass a certain location on their way home from work.
Efficient kitchens and bathrooms Kitchens will likely incorporate computer technology that combines upcoming services with convenience. For example smart grocery storage may be able to automatically order replacement foodstuffs from your local hypermarket. A smart board may allow you to add extras and the entire order could be delivered effortlessly to your doorstep. Intelligent fridges will likely work in the same way detecting when certain daily items are running low and automatically placing them on re-order. By coordinating the orders, a lesser number of deliveries could be arranged to cut down on the occupant’s overall carbon footprint. Other time saving features will also come to the fore. A bathroom mirror that can scan and automatically sense your vital signs could save you a regular trip to the doctor for checkups, since it will all be done in house and on a more regular basis to boot. An intelligent garage for your car could be used to not only charge an electric vehicle but also to diagnose and repair faults as they come about.

Working with nature
With natural disasters in mind, future homes in Thailand are likely to be built on earthquake resistant foundations as well as have the ground floor open as a balcony or garden space. By using movable glass sections the ground floor can be vacated so that at a time of flooding, water can penetrate the lower floor areas without affecting the structural integrity of the building. Self-cleaning wave guards
that can automatically detect the direction of water and adjust to the flow can also be incorporated around pillars to aid the movement of water in case of any flash flooding. This will allow people living in flood prone areas, of which there are many in Thailand, to live without the fear of their property being affected. As for water that is being used in the building for everyday use, active water management can mean that a grey water system could be easily set up such that partly used water can be used for garden use or for flushing lavatories. There is minimal plumbing required and with new technologies that monitor water levels a very effective water conservation system can be employed that will save costs and also reduce the impact on the environment. Technology in the home of the future will save energy not only in the home but also reduce tasks for the owners outside of the house, making a further positive environmental impact.

The value of Guaranteed rental returns.
A
by Brian S.
number of developers of late have been offering guaranteed rental returns as part of a package to entice buyers. Although this is less common than it was a few years ago, it is worth looking at any such offer in detail. There are two elements to any guaranteed rental return scheme. The first is the rate of return and the second is the length of time that any such guarantee will stay in force for.
Rate of return and the length of return As for the rate, developers try to entice buyers with as high a rate as possible, but with savings accounts yields down to less than one per cent, it is not hard to make an attractive offer. Seven or
eight percent yields were commonplace a while ago when interest rates were higher and also during the time of the economic crisis a few years ago. Now yields might be a more modest five percent or six percent. Still these make for a good offer given that they are guaranteed returns.
developers are offering three year or five year guaranteed rental returns. As for the duration, most developers are using this aspect to woo customers allowing them to reduce yields slightly. Whereas it may have been a two year offer, now developers are offering three year or five year guaranteed rental returns. If you multiply say six percent by five years then this equates to thirty per cent of the property price coming back to you in that timeframe. Yet it would be necessary to gauge whether the original asking price of the property is inflated in anyway to offset this payback. If the property price is thirty per cent more expensive than it otherwise should be then the guaranteed rental return will have no value. Yet, developers operate in a tight,
44
Issue 122 OCTOBER 2014
functioning market and will have the competition to consider. Thus it is unlikely that the price will be inflated by that amount. What is worth looking at is any portion of the rental return being added to the asking price of the property even if it is just a partial amount. Then you can revalue the guaranteed rental return package accordingly.
“What is worth looking at is any portion of the rental return being added to the asking price of the property� Given that, at a certain rental price, it should be possible to rent out the property in the open market, the guaranteed rental rate will need to also be compared to real rental levels, which whilst not guaranteed will likely be forthcoming anyway. The guaranteed rental rate will therefore lose its value if you can rent out the property at higher yields naturally in the market. Indeed the developer will be looking to provide the guaranteed rental income to you by way of a real rental arrangement instead of just passing the funds to you without a tenant being in place.
Taking a closer look at the market and demand A closer look at the rental market for the type of property in focus would be wise to see how much real demand is there
www.pattayatrader.com
@PattayaTrader
If on the other hand there is little or no demand at all on the part of tenants then some thought may be required. In this scenario even though the guaranteed rental period will look enticing for a property that will be hard to rent out naturally, you would need to consider what will happen after the developer’s guaranteed rental period expires. Will you be able to rent out the property easily in the years after? It is a fine line to be sure and one that may require a lot of thought. The best scenario is to find a property that is easy to rent out and find a guaranteed rental yield for an extended time significantly above the natural rental yield from the open market, whilst at the same time ensuring there is no inflation in the price of the property at the outset. Then there will be real value in the arrangement since you will not only look forward to a guaranteed return, it will be at a higher level than the market can offer, a market that is already naturally buoyant and in place for the years to come after the agreed guaranteed rental period expires.
The importance of the managing company
KITCHENS & BATHROOMS
for the property. If it is so easy to rent out at yields that match the developers offer you may consider that the deal is not as enticing since the funds will be attainable from the market naturally. The guaranteed rental program can then be considered as a kind of safety net and not much more.
Some of the property companies that are already wellrenowned for superb management services offer guaranteed rental programs. In this way the company can take care not only of your tenants needs, but also your needs as a property owner to ensure the property and the project that it is in are always perfectly presented. For managed properties you may well have to pay a premium but this will easily be recoupable upon sale. It will also allow tenants to enjoy a premium living experience providing you with a return long after any guaranteed rental period expires.
“The best scenario is to find a guaranteed rental yield for an extended time significantly above the natural rental yield from the open market� One thing that is key is to ensure that good management of the property is in place such that over the long term the property holds its value and will entice tenants due to well managed facilities.

f most accidents happen in the home, you can bet that a good number of those involve do-it-yourselfers. An estimated 20 percent of those who take on their own repair work suffer injuries that require visits to hospital emergency rooms every year. And many more injure themselves using hammers, screwdrivers, unstable ladders and other common equipment. Preparation, caution and knowledge of potential pitfalls can help prevent the majority of such accidents. One of the most dangerous pieces of equipment used by DIY enthusiasts is the table saw. Big saws as well as other table tools usually have built-in protection, but that doesn’t make them totally safe. Use all table tools with extreme caution and never
Oops! while drinking, taking medication, or even when you’re tired. An accident with a table tool can result in a life-altering injury. It’s also a good idea to not use power tools that have damaged electrical cords, and never around flammable liquids or gas.
“An estimated 20 percent of those who take “Keep knives sharp; it is on their own repair work safer to use a sharp blade suffer injuries that require than a dull blade because visits to hospital” it requires less force.”
Even non-power tools can be dangerous, and every tool is capable of causing injury. Before you attempt to use a tool, know how to use it properly and safely. If you don’t know how to use it, read the instructions that came with it or seek help online, from a knowledgeable friend, or a professional. Speaking of professionals, remember that they are available to help or even do the work for you. You do not need to do all the work yourself, particularly if you are not yet an expert on all DIY projects. Consider your skills carefully; make sure you know what you’re doing. If you don’t, then don’t take the risk. When using knives on a project, be extra cautious lest you become complacent and careless. Keep knives sharp; it is safer to use a sharp blade than a dull blade because it requires less force. Always cut away from yourself. Don’t throw knives, attempt to catch a dropped knife, or use knives for anything other than cutting, slicing, dicing or chopping.

and even death. Before using a ladder, check it for any loose or broken areas. Always place the ladder on a level, stable surface; never on another object, such as a table or a stool. Set it only on the floor or ground. Do not climb higher than the second rung on a stepladder or the third rung on an extension ladder.
Working around the yard is often invigorating and satisfying, but that, too, can be hazardous. Before you begin yard work, clear the area of kids and pets. And before mowing the lawn, get rid of rubble and other extraneous items. Use caution when mowing the lawn or using weedwackers and other landscaping tools. Even hedge trimmers can be dangerous if not used with care. Wear gloves, wear proper footwear and avoid distractions. Even tasks such as house cleaning require caution. Some of the most dangerous

They have a light, airy look, are inexpensive, and they’re surprisingly easy to install in just one day for those with basic DIY skills and tools.
Here’s how it’s done:
After measuring the shower area (width and preferred height) and purchasing the right-size door (including hardware: rails, screws, anchors, door handle, etc.), use a level to position the vertical rail that will hold the stationary glass panel. Once straight, mark the location of the mounting holes on the tile. Drill the holes using a drill bit made for penetrating tile. Now insert wall anchors into the mounting holes, align the vertical rail with the anchors, and screw it to the wall. Repeat the process for the bottom mounting bracket, but do not over-tighten the screws, which might crack the porcelain or tile. Once both brackets are secure, press the watertight gasket against the edge of the stationary glass panel, carefully insert the panel into the vertical rail, and tighten the screws to hold the glass panel firmly. Then fasten the glass panel to the bottom bracket. Now mark the location of the top bracket and again drill mounting holes. Insert wall anchors into the holes, and then fasten the top bracket to the glass panel and the wall. Loosely attach the hinges to the stationary glass panel. Position the glass door so that it aligns with the two hinges, loosely tighten the hinges to the door, check the alignment, and tighten the hinge mounting screws. Attach the door handle, and you’re finished.

Samsung note 4 will release ahead of time
G
iven the iPhone 6 has just hit the stores in the USA, Samsung has announced they will be releasing their highly awaited Galaxy Note 4 months ahead of time. Though the exact date hasn’t been confirmed yet, the giant Korean conglomerate is expected to pre release the device in Korea and China at the end of October. This decision follows the company’s new market expansion inside of China; it also shows Samsung attempting to slow down apple’s sales (which hit 4 million orders in a single day once the release of the iPhone 6 was announced)
“the giant Korean conglomerate is expected to pre release the device in Korea and China at the end of October.” As for now we can only estimate the release in Thailand for November or December as Samsung has not yet provided a clear indication of when they will begin distributing the device, though they have mentioned it will be released in 140 countries almost simultaneously.

Issue 122 OCTOBER 2014
Luckily though, at a packed event in Berlin during the second week of September, many of the amazing features of the Note4 where announced to the public. Here they are:
Dimensions
153.5 X 78.6 X 8.5 mm / 176g
Display
5.7” Quad HD Super AMOLED (2560 x1440)
Camera
Front Camera 3.7MP + F1.9/ Selfie (90º), Wide selfie mode (120º) Rear Camera 16M+ Smart OIS/ Fast AF, Live HDR(Rich Tone)
OS
Android 4.4 (Kitkat)
AP
2.7GHz Quad Core Process 1.9GHz Octa Core (1.9GHz Quad + 1.3GHz Quad Core) Beyond those powerful specs users can also choose between 4 different colours: Blossom Pink, Bronze Gold, Charcoal Black and Frost White which gives consumers a degree of choice when it comes to their new favourite accessory.
“As for now we can only estimate the release in Thailand for November or December” Nothing has being officially mentioned about the price, though tech experts are estimating that when the times comes for it’s release in our lovely kingdom, users should be ready to spend within the range of 25,000-35,000 THB, which puts the latest Samsung smartphone in a similar price bracket as the iPhone 6, let the competition begin!

Overview: After noticing customer’s shifting tendencies towards bigger screens, Apple has adapted accordingly and created 2 versions of their new iPhone: The standard iPhone 6 with a 4.7-inch screen (which is already much bigger than older models) and the iPhone 6 plus with a considerably bigger screen of 5.5-inch. The design, which includes a full aluminium body and a glass screen, has being described as one of the ‘most beautiful design yet conceived by Apple Inc.’. This ensures you will want to hold this phone from the second your eyes make contact with its modern and slick look. As usual, mac-heads have been praising this new pone from the beginning, the design speed and usability of the phone have being described as ‘superb’ in comparison to the iPhone 5, which to many was a bit

IPhone 6
of a let-down coming from the iPhone 4s (who many still consider to be a great model). The battery lifespan has been greatly improved in both versions of the iPhone 6 which was a factor Apple received a lot of criticism for in past occasions. The colour balance and the richness of the blacks in the display are without a doubt ‘the best available in the market’, so you can be sure everything will look amazing in your newest iPhone screen. As no surprise, Apple keeps a very high standard of integration meaning all apps available for the iPhone will run smoothly and without issues giving an extremely pleasant user experience. Along the same lines, syncing with your other apple products and apple’s Icloud storage is a breeze, meaning all your files will be ready available on all your devices at all times. Though Icloud has been suffering from some bad press lately (after hundreds of naked celebrity pictures where hacked and stolen from their cloud storage system), new security updates promise to keep all your files safe and away from hackers. Since its release a few weeks ago, Apple has already sold 4 million units during the pre order period and announced if you haven’t pre-order you will not be likely to find one of these devices until late October
(December for Thailand). That said, people (and some shops) are already selling the phone in Bangkok online, Facebook groups like Desperately seeking Bangkok also have members offering the device. These are the expected prices for al models in Thailand:
iPhone 6 16GB 23,144-25,144 Baht 64GB 26,458-29,222 Baht 128GB 29,771-32,779 Baht iPhone 6 Plus 16GB 26,457-29,212 Baht 64GB 29,771-32,774 Baht 128GB 33,499-36,846 Baht

Pros:
Great looking design, slick, modern and plainly ‘beautiful’. Bigger screen than previous models with ‘the best’ colour balance and colour quality of all smart pones in the current market. Good camera with image stabilizer, low light capabilities and slow motion video recording Long battery life of more than 2 days of moderate use (specially iPhone 6 plus). Fast charging, including the ability to charge using a special Wi-Fi mat.

Issue 122 OCTOBER 2014
Cons: IPhone 6 plus has been described as not perfectly ergonomic, slightly big and uncomfortable to hold with a single hand Aluminium bends: So it seems, some users have experience a ‘bent phone’, especially with the bigger iphone-6 plus. Many YouTube users have taken onto themselves to prove this claims, and according to some experts, because of the bigger aluminium casing (and given aluminium is an extremely malleable material) you can indeed ‘bend’ your iPhone under certain circumstances. In reality is not that big of a problem as it does require a lot of force before the phone deforms, but users should be careful when carrying the product. It is extremely unlikely it will bend inside your pockets, but if you have it in your bag and accidentally sit on it, well, you just never know!
