Services such as this ensure that guests have a totally relaxing holiday experience to recharge and reconnect with the local environment and its beauty, bringing back with them the most memorable moments of a lifetime.

Stunning natural materials have been chosen from wood and bamboo to granite touches, with a neutral colour palette of creams, browns and beiges has been used throughout the resort, making it hard to distinguish where the resort starts and ends – giving you the feeling of actually being a part of the island and allowing you to connect to the magic of your surroundings. Paneled wood walls, thatched or high-vaulted tented roofs, wicker and rattan furniture pieces, lamps carved from trees, central bathtubs as the focal point of the room, open-airy spaces to enjoy, outdoor living areas to get a true sense of the island – the design aesthetic of U is unparalleled when it comes to keeping a synergy between the natural island environment coupled with the modern conveniences of a resort.

Being able to easily walk from one side of the island to the other, where two pristine shores await – one with a white sand beach and the other with a coral reef adds more beauty to this hidden oasis which boasts a spa, infinity swimming pool, library, gym, beach restaurant and bar as well as U’s unique

Designing Your Perfect HomeOffice Whether you work from home on a full-time basis or simply need an area where you can catch up on bills, write the odd email and surf the net – it’s a great idea to create a dedicated space, away from the distractions of the daily household buzz.

You should create yourself an office space that reflects the design of the rest of your home, something that flows naturally – not just a chair and a desk jammed into a corner.

Here are some great tips on how to create the perfect office space for your home, where you can be both comfortable and creative!

X Marks The Spot If you work from home you are more than likely to spend most of your days and perhaps some evenings in your office, so you want to give yourself plenty of space so you do not feel like you a crammed into an afterthought. A tiny desk in a tiny room is not going to facilitate productivity so try and give yourself as much space as you can.

You should also consider being close to the action or away from it, depending on how you work. Some people love a bit of background noise while others need complete solitude to get the job done. This will

play a factor of where in the house you decide to create your space.

Form and Function You want to strike a balance of both. The furniture and storage options you choose should be both functional AND blend seamlessly with the design of your home.

You can find pieces that are beautiful as well as serve their purpose, so you need not work in a soulless empty environment that feels like it has been thrown together without thought.

Comfort As you will be most likely sitting at your desk for the majority of your working hours, we urge you to invest in a high-quality desk chair – there are so many ergonomical chairs available these days! A decent chair can not only save you thousands in chiropractor fees down the line, but will make your daily work far more comfortable and you will get more done.

Colour You should go with a paint colour you like – as you will be looking at it for most of the day! Don’t go too bright, or too dull as either can create a mood that is not conducive to working. Accent walls are a great idea – perhaps a splash of lime on one wall which ties into some cushions in the same colour or look at using calming colours such as sea green and pastel blue - perfect to help you get through the working day.

Room With A View If you can and your room or position allows you, make sure you give yourself a view. Overlooking a garden out the window, or even a street view – perhaps even into another room in the house. Sometimes a little distraction can be a good thing and can help get your creativity going – plus natural light is fantastic if you can get it!

Techno Phobe With computers and other office equipment come sharp, harsh designs as well as cords, lots of cords….and there is not much you can do about it. Get yourself some cord clips to keep them as hidden as possible against walls or underneath carpets – you can even drill a hole in your desk to feed them through to the power source so you don’t have them hanging over the edge.

Lit Up Make sure there is ample light in your office – whether it is natural or via a desk lamp – you want to make sure you can see well and avoid eye-strain and headaches.

Personalise It Not everything in your space has to be work related. A few framed pictures of family and friends, some great knickknacks or a brilliant art piece that inspires will help give your space a real feel of ‘you’.

Careful Estate Planning for Retirees in Koh Samui and Phangnan Many long term foreign residents of Koh Samui and Koh Phangnan wrongly assume that the steps that they have taken in their home countries to deal with their estate in the event of their death is “water tight”. From our experience, this is seldom the case. Complex estate issues are often remedied by loved ones living thousands of miles from Thailand, trying to make sense of unfamiliar rules and regulations in a distant country which they may never have visited; and spending thousands of dollars of their own money to boot. The good news is that often, such issues can be avoided with some straightforward estate planning.

Written by Paul D. Volodarsky of the law firm Limcharoen Legal

Paul Volodarsky, senior associate of the law firm Limcharoen Legal (Samui) sets out five simple legal tips to consider if you have assets in Thailand and wish to plan your estate wisely.

Have your Wills in Order People often assume that a Will executed in their home jurisdiction will protect assets located in other countries; however, this may not always be the case. According to international law, the distribution of immovable property such as freehold condominiums and villas is governed by the laws of the country in which that immoveable property is located. Conversely, the transfer of movable property such as jewellery and furniture is governed by the laws of the country in which the deceased was domiciled at the time of death.

It is important to note that if an individual owns an interest in real estate through ownership of shares in a limited company, the asset which forms the subject matter of the will are the shares in the limited company and not the real estate assets themselves. In other words, shares in limited companies may be deemed to be moveable property and not immoveable property.

Nonetheless, if you have any significant assets located in Thailand, it is recommended that you execute a valid Thai will. In the case of immovable property, if you die without executing a valid Thai Will, the assets forming the your estate will most likely be distributed according to intestate succession rules which stipulate that your property is distributed to the following people according to a set formula: spouse; children; parents; siblings; grandparents; aunts/uncles. Only true legally valid spouses are permitted to share in one’s estate according to intestate succession. Therefore, without a valid Thai Will, common law spouses and long-time partners will be totally disinherited of your Thai estate.

samui phangan real estate

While the distribution of movable property located in Thailand may not be subject to Thai law, prudent practice nonetheless dictates addressing such assets in your Thai will. The issues of one’s “domicile” and the characterization of “immovable” and “movable” assets in the court system sometimes produce confusing and contradictory results. Addressing movable property in your Thai Will mitigates the risk that such property will be distributed by Thai intestate succession and does not create any additional risks or disadvantages. However, it is also highly recommended that you consult a lawyer in the jurisdiction of your home or domicile, in order to properly address any movable assets located in Thailand.

their estate. However, pursuant to section 374 of Thailand’s Civil and Commercial Code, you may include a clause written into any contract explicitly providing that your entitlements will pass onto your heirs.

Therefore before entering into a long-term contract, such as a long-term lease, it is important to ensure that the contract contains a clause directing that your rights will pass to your heirs, the said clause should be carefully drafted in order to comply with Thai law.

Check your Corporate Structure

Subject to certain alternatives, in order to be valid, your Thai Will must be in writing, dated, signed, and witnessed by at least two other people, and should be executed within Thailand. While this process is relatively simply, you should retain a legal professional to advise you on your Will. The law pertaining to the interpretation and effect of Wills is complex, and requires adherence to specific language.

Careful corporate planning can ease the burden on your executor. For instance, depending on the circumstances, if you are the director of a company holding assets in Thailand, you may consider appointing your executor as co-director which will allow him or her to take over managing the assets easily after your death. It is very important that you seek advice from a competent professional before making any changes to your existing corporate structure, if any.

Select your Executor Wisely

Review Periodically

In your Will, you must appoint an “executor”, who will gather-up and distribute your assets when you die. It is generally imprudent to simply name a sibling or close friend as executor, simply because you trust that person. Often, the executor must come to Thailand, liaise with lawyers and Thai officials, and execute an abundance of Thai-language documents.

This process can be overwhelming and costly.

It is crucial that you carefully select an executor who will be up to the challenge; or if you do not know anyone who is fit for the challenge, you will have to consider other options, such as naming a law firm or another company to act as your executor. Fortunately, there are a wide range of options available to persons seeking professional or independent executors.

Check your Lease Agreements In Thailand, contractual rights, including leasehold rights, generally terminate upon the death of the entitled party, and may not automatically pass onto

It is important to review the foregoing matters with your legal counsel periodically and after you acquire additional assets. The laws in any country may change on occasion, often without notice to the general population. Therefore it is imperative that you routinely ensure that you testamentary wishes are still protected.

This article is intended to provide a brief overview of estate planning for international residents and travelers in Thailand. As in any jurisdiction, it is important to seek independent legal advice in order to address your specific proprietary interests and testamentary wishes.

Former IT developer dips into

pool villas Habitat Five eyes third Pattaya venture

70

samui phangan real estate

A founder of former software developer CyberPlanet Interactive Plc plans to launch a 700-million-baht villa project in Pattaya this year.

The new project will be located on 10 rai in the Na Jomtien area and comprise 60 pool villas priced from 10 million baht apiece, said Chanin Vanijwongse.

Mr Chanin shifted to property development two years ago and is now chief executive of new developer Habitat Five Co. The project will carry the brand name of Thai hotel chain X2, which will manage the property.

"Property is real estate. It generates a higher margin than the IT business," said the former managing director of CyberPlanet.

"Software development is an exciting venture, but trends change every two years. But with property, the longer you hold it, the higher it appreciates."

Chanin Vanijwongse, a founder of former software developer CyberPlanet Interactive, says property generates a higher margin than the IT business.

The new property project will be the company's third, after The Ville Jomtien villa project worth 600 million baht, launched in 2013 and sold out last year, and the X2 Vibe Pattaya SeaPhere condo project worth 300 million baht, now 50% sold.

Its eight-storey building will feature 65 units sized from 29-54 sq m and priced from 2.84 million baht.

"I've been a condo investor myself and know what investors want,"

Mr Chanin said.

"The project offers a rental management programme with a guaranteed return of 7% per year for five years, which will certainly attract investment buyers, as the rate is higher than bank deposit interest."

Mr Chanin started investing in condominium units in 2004.

Before jumping into property development, he sold 60 condo units he owned at 30 different projects with a total investment value of 500 million baht, for which he gained a profit of 15% per year. www.bangkokpost.com

CITY

CONDO PRICES TO SOAR

angkok condominium prices are expected to rise by at least 10% next year, driven by new land appraisal prices that will be revised up by 25% on average.

Nalinrat Chareonsuphong, managing director of property consultant Nexus Property Marketing Co, said higher land appraisal prices would affect prices of condos being launched next year, as land costs would be higher from bigger property transfer fees.

"Increases in condo prices will vary by location," she said. "The more prime the location,

the higher the rise in condo prices."

According to Nexus's market research, overall prices of Bangkok condos launched in the first half rose by 10% on average from last year.

In the central city, new condo prices rose by 12% to about 155,000 baht asq metre.

A similar rise was seen in the city fringe and outer city, where new mass transit lines and extensions were under construction. Average prices of new condos in this emerging location were 85,000 baht per sq m.

In the Saphan Mai area, The Episode condominium was launched on Aug 29, with selling prices of about 80,000 baht per sq m.

In condo development, land costs currently account for 25-30% of development costs, up from 20% several years ago due to soaring land prices. In city areas, land costs represent up to 40%.

In the first half of this year, land prices in Bangkok soared 15% on average from last year.

Prices in prime locations such as Lang Suan Road increased by 25% to 1 million baht a square wah.

In the Chidlom area, a new record land price of 1.91 million baht per sq w was recently recorded.

The 14-storey complex with 465 units worth 1.1 billion baht will be developed by Asset Wise Co. "Last year we launched a condo project in the same location at a selling price of only 55,000 baht per sqm," managing director Kromchet Viphanphong said. "The main factor was higher land costs."

The lowest increase in condo prices in the first half was in suburban areas at only 3% to 64,000 baht per sqm. due largely to more plots being available for new development than in other locations. www.bangkokpost.com

“ A year from now, in May 2013, we met with the directors of Palm Group Asia.

This meeting was crucial and very important to us.

We found a team that was able to complete and deliver our buidling project.

Thanks to the support, the listeming and the guidance of Kurt and Loulou and all of the technical team as well as Roger and John on site.

Today we have the house we dreamed of.

During the construction, Palm Group Asia have made every effort to achieve our most specific expectations.

It was a caring customer service, and with confidence our project was born today.

In May 2014, as agreed, the delivery of our property was above our expectations. We wish each and everyone, one day to get to live and experience these rare moments full of joy that we have experienced.

Palm Group Asia allowed us to live these moments, so to them, a big THANK YOU !

Builders urge realty in focus  l  Property Design

Property developers are urging the government and its new economic cabinet to use tax incentives to help restore housing demand in the remaining months of this year.

They are concerned that already-soft demand will be weakened further by the recent bomb attack.

Cutting property tax and transaction fees would help to stimulate the economy in general and the property market in particular, said Thongma Vijitpongpun, president and chief executive of Pruksa Real Estate Plc. He proposes the property transfer fee be reduced to 0.02% from 2%, mortgage fee to 0.01% from 1% and special business tax to 0.01% from 3.3%.

The cuts should be applied to housing units priced 2 million baht or lower, which would help low-income earners to afford their own home, Mr Thongma said.

"If these incentives were applied to higher-priced segments, annual tax revenue could miss the target," he said.

Atip Bijanonda, president of the Housing Business Association (HBA), said the overall economy in the remaining months and full-year GDP growth would depend largely on economic stimulus.

"We're not worried about new-home transfers in the rest of the year, as those will keep growing," he said.

"But new-home sales are a concern due to unfavourable market sentiment in the housing sector and the weak economy, which is expected to be dampened further by the deadly bombing."

98 

samui phangan real estate

tax breaks for buyers The HBA has revised down this year's housing market forecast to only zero to 5% growth from 5-10%.

Mr Atip suggests developers stay more focused on cash flow and be more cautious of new projects being launched between now and year-end.

Theerathat Singnarongthon, assistant chief executive of Property Perfect Plc, said the company recently scaled down the number of new launches this year to 15 projects worth a combined 20 billion baht from 22 projects worth 26 billion.

"Trying to generate sales amid weak market sentiment is exhausting, particularly after the bombing," he said.

"We need to be more selective in new launches and make sure of demand." www.bangkokpost.com

Who are Horizon?

Originally conceived by William McClintock and Alex Armitage in 2004, the Horizon group of companies were formed with the aim of providing high quality services and properties.

In 2014, Horizon comprises of a group of companies (and a brand) that includes: • Horizon Villas – an 18 acre luxury gated community located opposite Choeng Mon beach and adjoining Horizon Residence.

• Horizon Residence – A luxurious 58 unit condominium development, located opposite Choeng Mon beach.

• Horizon Villa Management – A luxury villa property and rental management company • Horizon Villa Maintenance – A company dedicated maintaining properties to high standards, including: Repairs, cleaning and gardening • Horizon Homes Construction – A highly successful builder of luxurious villas with a team of 200 workers • Horizon Homes Real Estate – A dedicated sale and rental agency with an island wide reputation to be proud of • SIL – Architectural company that specialises in both commercial and residential buildings

A few words from Alexander Armitage (Managing Director),

Why did you decide to launch Horizon Residence?

Horizon Residence concept was conceived to provide Koh Samui with a modern designed condominium development which would provide high quality living and an excellent investment opportunity. Horizon Residence has been designed around the concept of healthy living.

Healthy for the guests and residents, due to the 2 large swimming pools, fully equipped gym, and our close proximity to Choeng Mon beach, and also healthier for the environment, as we have actively sought ways to reduce the buildings “Carbon Footprint”.

What can you tell us about the quality of the build?

The Standards of the build are second to none. Using modern techniques from the structure to the taps all has been considered and implemented. The structure is steel framed with drywall partition, allowing for a lighter building with higher ceilings. The drywall produces far better sound and heat insulation than normal brick and morter.

Each units front door, will have rubber seals to stop cold air from escaping, which will also add to the sound insulation.

• Guttering will be used throughout the development, with all the water caught from the roofs being stored in large 75,000 litres tanks under the buildings. The captured water will help to save costs on the communal area and pool usages.

• Water from showers, baths and toilets will be recycled using an osmosis system to cleanse it before it will be used for the gardens. This will provide an approximate saving of about 450,000 Thb per annum in additional water costs.

• Heat generated from the air conditioning units will be used to heat the water heaters within the buildings. This means that no additional electricity will be required to heat the buildings, hot water.

• Water cooling from the pond in the atrium of the building will mean that air conditioning will not be needed in the communal space.

What are the special features of Horizon Residence?

• LED lighting will be used throughout the Horizon Residence, reducing electrical costs and consumption by 30%. This does not only help the environment but also the owners’ costs.

• Inversion air conditioners are more expensive to purchase and install, but use up to 20% less electricity than traditional air conditioners. A remote system will also be employed, that will detect any problems with the air conditioners as soon as they happen and alert our onsite managers. This will increase customer satisfaction and decrease unnecessary loss of energy from the units.

• Aluminum cladding will provide an additional layer of protection to the exterior of the buildings. The heating effects of the sun and UV rays will be reduced, which will help keep the interior of the buildings cooler.

• Exterior painting will be reduced to once every 15 years, instead of once every 2 years which will vastly lower the amount of paint used over time, lower costs for the owners, and also cause less disruption.

• The dry wall system will not only provide far better sound insulation than traditional brick walls, but also better cooling properties, therefore reducing the need for air con.

• Floor sound absorption material that is made from a blend of recycled plastic and cork, will be used to help reduce sound from the above apartments. This provides greater sound insulation via a greener solution.

Eat Your Yard Part 2

116

samui phangan real estate

Last issue we looked at the benefits and reasons why you should choose edible plants and foliage for your garden rather than the predictable shrubbery and plants that dot most people’s gardens.

This issue, we take a look at mapping out the location of your paths, patios, outdoor areas and garden beds, so you can select the best edible plants for your space. Some need to grow up in height, some need to grow wide – so we want to ensure you can have the biggest array of sizes, shapes and textures as well as selecting various plants that will look attractive when some are in season and some are not.

Secondly, work out what you like. What is it you and your family like to eat? Making a list of the edibles you like most is a great first step and then see if these will grow in our warm tropical climate.

Choosing Your Edibles

There are 3 key main factors – can it grow here, what does it look like when it grows (texture/colour/ lealfyness) and do I like to eat it?

Size Think big and think small. Basically, think about what size the plant will grow to when it is fully mature. Large plants can overtake a space and other plants, whereas small plants may look out of place. Consider the end height and width before making your final selections.

Texture You want your edible yard to have some texture to it. Fine whispy plants, strong big leafy plants – think a Banana Palm in comparison to say a tomato plant. They are very different in terms of how thick and wide their leaves grow as well as their fruit. You want a mix of textures to give your yard some character.

Colour Have some fun with your edible landscape. Use red or yellow peppers for bright hues, berries for a warm reddish hue and of course interlace with green (and there are many shades of leaf green from dark to light and almost yellow in colour) for some balance and a neutral to work against all the other colours you choose. Your imagination is the only limit here.

Produce That Produce

If you’ve never embarked on a garden before, do some research or even buy a couple of handy gardening books to give you the basics and help you along the way.

Here are some tips that will help you get the best out of your new tasty landscape.

• A well-drained garden bed is essential along with rich, organic soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0 – this is imperative for growing healthy vegetables.

• Make sure any tall plants are positioned in the north part of your yard so they do not overshadow the smaller plants.

• Make sure you intermix long-grow plants such as peppers and tomatoes with plants that grow quickly such as lettuce and spinach.

• Give your plants ample room so they can grow to their full size without growing on top of each other.

• Follow the recommendations on seed packets to work out when best to plant each.

So, you’ve chosen your plants, you’ve mapped out your garden, you know where and when to plant them – so get planting! You can really have some fun with the layout and make some amazing geometrical patterns with your new edibles, but best of all, when they are ready…you and your family can enjoy the fruits of your labour! samui phangan real estate

samui phangan real estate

Set Yourself Work Hours You need to be strict and set yourself work hours, just as you would in an office environment.

Too much flexibility and you will find yourself taking countless breaks, getting distracted, watching a quick bit of TV…the list is endless. Not only will dedicated work hours help you, but it makes it easier for others to get in contact with you.

Separate Work and Home Just as important as having dedicated work hours, it is even more important to ensure once you switch off and into home-mode, you stay that way. It is so easy to ‘just answer this email and then I’m done’ – before you know it you’re working into the night and missing out on important friend and family time.

You don’t want to burn out nor do you want to miss those special moments with friends and family – so make sure when you commit to ‘turning off’ for the day, you keep it that way.

Make a Plan I can never get enough of lists! Making a list for the day ahead is a great way to ensure you get everything done, don’t miss anything and ensure you keep on track and put aside time for each task. Prioritise what needs to be done and allocate enough time for each, you’ll whiz through it in no time!

It can even be helpful to make the following day plan before your current day is done. That way you can truly switch off and not stress about what lies ahead, and know full well what you are going to achieve and work on the following day.

Break Time Try and plan your break times. This gives you something to look forward to, as well as adhering to the work schedule you have set yourself. You don’t want to be too flippant about your breaks, or before you know it you’ll be having a quick nap on the sofa!

Get some fresh air, have a bite to eat, go out for lunch and meet a friend for some human interaction - all of these things will keep you invigorated and ready for the tasks that lay ahead.

Get Out Of Your Pajamas It is so tempting when working from home to roll out of bed and stay in your pajamas! BUT this is not recommended. Getting up, having breakfast, having a shower and dressing as if you are going to an office (albeit a casual one) is a much better idea. It signifies you are getting serious and starting work and when you are done, there is nothing like changing into a comfy outfit for lounging around the house!

Office Space Create a dedicated office space to work at (see our Island Home article about how to create the perfect home office space!). It is so tempting to want to work on the sofa or even bed, but you will be far less productive and find it hard to distinguish between work and personal hours.

Sitting at a ‘desk’ or allocated work space, you will feel more organised and comfortable with all your work tools at the ready.

Keeping It Clean Tidy Home. Tidy Mind! Keep your workspace and home clean and organised. A well-organised environment makes it easier to concentrate and complete tasks. If you are sitting in a mess, your work is most likely going to be messy and disjointed. So make sure you clean and tidy up every day to keep yourself focused.

Keep In Contact Working from home is fantastic, but there is nothing like a bit of personal interaction to get the juices flowing and to inspire you or keep you on track. Make sure you schedule work calls or lunches with fellow employees or even friends. Chatting over some of your tasks, getting feedback and keeping you on the ball with what else is going on in the world. Don’t disconnect too much, or you can find yourself in a lonely place!

So if you’re working from home, try some of the above tips to get the most out of your work and personal life. It’s all about balance. Find it and keep it! samui phangan real estate

LIVING IN KOH SAMUI

Koh Samui’s enduring appeal as one of the world’s top holiday destinations has inspired many people to relocate to the island, either choosing to make it their permanent home or spending extended amounts of time living what those in less blessed locations would understandably consider an idyllic lifestyle.

In the last ten years, the island has developed into a full service destination and the range of facilities, amenities and services has therefore expanded considerably, making Samui one of very few places in the world where you can literally choose your preferences, both in terms of the way you pass your days and nights and also the amount of money you want to spend.

Although the island’s tourist and residential worlds often collide, they can also be very distinctive. But in terms of choice, both groups benefit from the island’s incredibly diverse and eclectic offerings, whether in terms of accommodation, retail, dining, entertainment, health or adventure. As a long term resident on Samui,

if you stop to consider the sheer extent of comfort and convenience on offer around the island today it’s sometimes difficult to remember that you are living on a small island in the Gulf of Thailand. As soon as you leave the beach you are spoilt for choice - shopping malls such as Tesco Lotus and Big C stock all the daily necessities and more, specialist outlets like Tops Supermarket and Villa in Lamai offer indulgent imported goods, while 7Elevens, Family Mart outlets and local shops make impulse buying a an easy option, even at 4 in the morning. A selection of fresh food markets also cater to an ever growing Thai community with everything from rice by the kilo to fresh Tiger Prawns sold by the kilo at what are very reasonable prices when compared to the deli counters of most western supermarkets.

For those who prefer to dine out, Samui has developed a deserved reputation a s gourmet paradise with an enviable choice of restaurants, their menus often created by chef’s of international repute and wine lists

that rival those in some of the world’s top city bistros.

Excellent Thai food is also readily enjoyed, either roadside at one of the island’s many affordable local eateries or in more opulent surroundings accompanied by five star service and stylised, cultural designs and entertainment.

class food and beverage choices in chic poolside surroundings. They also host regular parties with international DJs and performers. Western style pubs and nightclubs line the popular tourist strips, with sports bars like The Islander and Bondi in Chaweng showing live international sporting events.

The Samui party scene has also developed in leaps and bounds in the last few years, sophisticated Beach Clubs like Beach republic and Nikki Beach serve top

Those in search of a more healthy, green lifestyle on Samui can easily avoid the tourist bustle. The quiet beaches on the island’s south coast still feel relatively untouched by development and many small residential communities have emerged in places like Baan taling Ngam and Lip Noi, where the pace of life is slow and the tropical landscape still untroubled by crowds and commerce. Spas and wellness centres offer a wide range of treatments and therapies to rejuvenate tired souls, while yoga, meditation and other more spiritually inspired activities can be studied and practiced at various centres around the island.

Families are increasingly well catered for on Samui and the island now boasts its very own International School (ISS), as well as several other learning institutions catering to to both Thai and expatriate students.

The island’s clubs and organisations often organise family friendly gatherings, regular Walking Streets offer festival style outings and there are also several restaurants that cater for children’s parties.

With so much on offer to residents, Samui has now become as much a place to live as it is a place to visit. It is now a multi-faceted residential island with an enviable range of services and facilities to choose from, all of which combine to offer permanent and long stay‘Samuians' one of the most appealing and diverse tropical lifestyle experiences on the planet.

LIVING IN KOH PHANGAN

Stunning beaches, an affordable lifestyle and an appealing island environment have drawn a growing number of visitors and residents to Koh Phangan’s tropical shores. Many of the island’s visitors choose to stay longer than they originally planned and this has led to the establishment of a sizeable foreign community of long stay tourists, working residents, business owners and retirees. The number of foreign investors choosing Koh Phangan as their second home is increasing every year, with easy transport access, a fast developing infrastructure and a range of lifestyle and hospitality services all adding to the island’s growing appeal.

Koh Phangan is a rare island escape just a short boat ride from Koh Samui’s more developed and commercial environment. This means residents and visitors can enjoy the unspoiled beauty of some of Thailand’s finest beaches while still having access to the comforts and benefits of a modern lifestyle. The recent growth in the number of luxury hotels and private villas on the island has prompted the emergence of more upmarket retail, dining and entertainment choices, with cool nightspots

and restaurants opening in the more popular beaches like Haad Rin and Thong Nai Pan. As Koh Phangan evolves from a backpacker haven in to a full service destination, the island is attracting those with the spending power to combine natural escape with a sophisticated island lifestyle.

The Thai government and its tourism authority has long been promoting Koh Phangan as an eco-destination in order to transform the island’s reputation from party venue to tropical escape, promoting Koh Phangan’s natural beauty and untainted environment to the world.

Eco-adventures and marine based activities are widely available to visitors and residents with mountain biking, diving, wake boarding and jungle treks all on offer to encourage a more sensitive approach to island life that also minimises the impact on the island’s ecosystem.

On a practical level, the opening of a modest Tesco Lotus Supermarket, combined with a significant increase in the number of foreign run businesses has had a real impact in terms on the ease of living

samui phangan real estate

on Koh Phangan. Designer boutiques, international cuisine, real estate agents and developers are all gradually changing the island landscape, yet the laid back lifestyle has thus far survived and the local people are known for their commitment to preserving their traditional culture. Whether selling the daily catch from their boats, chatting with friends in the shade of

the village ‘sala’ or celebrating weddings with dances and local music, local people remain distinctively Thai in many ways. As for the foreign residents, the ease of life, natural beauty and diversity of lifestyle choices make Koh Phangan a unique destination as either a permanent or second home.

REAL ESTATE OF KOH PHANGAN Koh Phangan’s real estate sector has grown as the island has developed and become more popular with visitors from around the world. Investment opportunities abound, whether it is raw beach and mountain land, off plan residential purchases or completed luxury villas for sale. Prices are considerably lower than they are on Koh Samui, which often attracts adventurous investors looking for an affordable slice of paradise. Restrictive ownership laws in Thailand, however, mean buyers are advised to go through reputable law firms when considering any purchases on Koh Phangan. As is the case on Koh Samui or Phuket, it is important for anyone considering an investment to thoroughly research the laws and regulations, as well as to ensure that any land titles are thoroughly checked and that the most secure method of purchase is found to guarantee a trouble free, longterm investment. It is advisable to research construction firms employed to guarantee that their reputation is solid and that any previous projects have been successfully completed.

the legal arena l land title deeds

LAND TITLE DEEDS IN THAILAND There are two main types of land ownership in Thailand which we should explain

RIGHTS OF POSSESSION Firstly there is the right of possession, for example, land that has been used by a family for generations to the benefit of the land and they have possession rights of the land under the civil and commercial code. Such titles are Sor Kor 1,Tor Bor 5 , 6 or Sor Por Gor 4. These titles basically are only family possession rights and generally only used for farming. These titles can not be bought or sold and no building rights or legal acts would be allowed on the land. I do know of cases where families being in possession of certain pieces of land for generations have been able to upgrade them to regular land title deeds but this is not generally the case and any serious investor would not normally give any credibility to these titles of possession.

RIGHTS OF OWNERSHIP Usually we are looking for land title deeds giving right of ownership not possession. Here there are basically three title deeds:- Chanote, Nor Sor 3 and Nor Sor 3 Gor. The most sought after titles are the Chanote and the Nor Sor 3 Gor as both these titles have legal documents of Rights of Ownership and can be sub-divided into smaller plots and planning permission and any such legal acts can be carried out immediately on the land.The only difference with the Nor Sor 3 is that although legal documents are issued for the land it has not been accurately surveyed which can lead to problems in verifying actual land area. And if any legal act is to take place on this land it must be published for at least 30 days.

As we have been saying all the way through if it is not clear 100%, seek the advice of a legal professional in this field, as there are also many other issues that are important to consider such as servitude, access and rights of way.

LAND MEASUREMENT & SURVEY Land in Thailand is measured in Rai, Ngan and Talang Wah. • 1 Wah= 4 sqm • 1 Ngan= 100 Wah or 400 sqm • 4 Ngan= 1 Rai or 1600 sqm In comparison to Western Standards: • 2.50 Rai= 1 Acre • 6.25 Rai= 1 Hectare

TIPS FOR STARTING A NEW BUSINESS Are you planning to start your own business for the first time in Thailand? If so, we hope this useful information will help put your business on the right track.

The simplest and easiest sort of company for foreigners to form with a small business is a Thai Limited Company.

In Thailand, a Limited Company is a company with up to 100 shareholders, who share the same business purpose and is formed with a Capital divided into equal shares.

GETTING STARTED To set up a company, you must first have the memorandum that can be acquired at the registration office. To properly register, you are required to provide the authorities with details of your company and list a minimum of three shareholders (who can either be Thai or foreign nationals or both). At least seven days after you first approach the department, you can call a shareholder’s meeting to reach an agreement on the purpose of your business and set up the company’s operational rules.

Having agreed on the purpose of your business, you can then apply for business registration at the same department. If you cannot agree on company rules, you can refer to those stated in the Civil and Commercial Code’s partnership and companies section.

SHARES Besides the issues of business registration, you must also make sure that your company’s shares are worth no less than 5 baht each. These shares can be transferred or even sold if the company has no regulations on this matter.

Every shareholder must be given a share certificate, a document that guarantees their status as a shareholder.

Should anyone wish to transfer their shares to another party; they have to fill in the share transfer form that confirms the deal between the transferor and transferee.

The company also has to have in its possession a register of shareholders that contains a record of all the company’s shareholders. The book is evidence that will identify the company’s shareholders.

SHAREHOLDERS AND CHAIRPERSON A Limited Company’s shareholders can be either Thai or foreign nationals or both, but the percentage of shares held by foreign national plays a significant role in determining the nationality of your company, which may impose serious limitations on the company’s rights, such as landownership.

If less than 49% of your company’s shares are held by foreigners, your company is considered a Thai company.

140

samui phangan real estate

However, if foreign nationals hold more than 49% of the shares, your company is a foreign company.

The significant differences between Thai and foreign companies operating in Thailand lie in their rights to buy and own properties or other businesses. It is therefore important, especially for those in real estate and development businesses, to know and remember that unless your company is Thai, you are restricted in the ability to possess and obtain land and property in this country without an exemption granted by the government.

Foreign companies are also restricted to certain activities and to proceed with certain operations the company will have to apply for permission from the government. In such instances, applications will be considered case by case. They will also face tough scrutiny and strict restrictions on their right to operate and ability to run their business. These companies will be treated in the same way as foreign nationals seeking jobs in Thailand.

If you are registered as a Thai company, you are automatically granted the right to purchase and own properties and other business and will be treated the same way as a Thai citizen. However, according to new legislation that has recently come into effect, the Land Department’s staff are now required to thoroughly investigate your Thai shareholders’ sources of income. Thai shareholders in a company wishing to purchase properties in Thailand have to declare their income and provide the authorities with evidence that proves their ability to co-invest with other foreign shareholders in the same company. Only those successful in convincing the authorities are granted the right to purchase and possess land. Companies with approval from the Land Department can then proceed with their applications for land title deeds or other certificates of use and possession.

LITTLE THINGS THAT MATTER A company limited has to have its own board of directors to act on behalf of the company. This panel will, however, act under the regulations and agreements approved by the shareholders. Appointing directors or removing any of them requires shareholders approval.

At the end of the company’s financial year, within five months, it shall be the duty of the company to present the balance sheet to the Department of Business Development (DBD). If your company fails to present the balance sheet, the company will be fined up to 50,000 baht and the company’s board of directors may also be fined up to 50,000 baht. If the committee refuses to pay the fine, the police can appeal to the court for a warrant and file a lawsuit against the resilient parties. Withdrawal of the company’s business registration is also another penalty the company may face, should they not provide the authorities with the necessary statement.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS ON KOH SAMUI AND KOH PHANGAN There are defined areas relative to the distance above sea-level (i.e., reference to height above sea rather than set-back from shore-line), pursuant to the Regulations of Resource and Environment, 30th May 2557 (2014) (“Environmental Regulations”).

Level 1 - Land less than 80 metres above sea level.

In general, no additional rules apply in this level, subject to rules relating to hotels (50 percent of hotel land area must be left un-built on and “green”), residential projects consisting of 10+ units (must have water and waste treatment facilities), in addition to rules relating to water-dams, golf courses and airports.

Level 2 - Land between 80 – 140 metres above sea level.

Within this level, a single family home may be constructed on land that is 100 square wah or greater (if the land is less than 100 square wah, construction is prohibited). Structures cannot exceed 6 metres in height and must leave 50 percent of the land un-built on and “green; must have an architectural design based on traditional Thai, tropical or local aesthetics; must have a roof consisting of 80 percent of the total building area, and that matches the natural surroundings; and must include an approved water-drainage system, to prevent flooding.

Level 3 – Land greater than 140 metres above sea-level.

Within this level, the same rules apply as in Level 2; and in addition, structures in Level 3 cannot exceed 90 square metres.

Slope Rules In all levels mentioned, where the land has a slope of between 35-50 degrees, only a single family home is permitted, which cannot exceed 6 metres in height and 80 square metres in area, and which must leave 75 percent of the land un-built on (50 percent of the un-built land area must be “green” with native trees). Furthermore, the land area must be 120 square wah or greater, otherwise construction is prohibited. If the slope is greater than 50 metres, construction is likewise prohibited.

illa rental is fast becoming the preferred holiday accommodation option for a vast majority of vacationers to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.

Renting a villa as a family or group of friends can prove far more economical in the long run than hotel accommodation and can afford you the luxury and privacy you seek on a holiday without breaking the bank.

For longer term lets, there is a multitude of options from private owners to agent lets ranging from basic to 6 star luxury – all you need to do is spend some time finding the right villa for your long-term living needs.

Holiday villas are generally fully furnished and include a full western kitchen with appliances, towels and bed linens, water and electricity and will normally include a maid service who will come once or more a week to change linen and tidy the villa, as well as a maintenance person to take care of the gardens and pool if included.

There are a host of other optional services on offer such as a private chef, babysitting, pre-arrival shopping, laundry, driver or car hire, butler, island tours, personal training, massage and spa treatments, Thai cooking lessons...simply do your research and ask lots of questions when selecting your villa to see what is available to you during your stay.

If booking your villa from outside of Thailand, it may be wise to use one of the more established

and recognised agents to ensure you are getting what you pay for. While it may seem cheaper to go directly through the home-owner, agencies usually have representatives in Samui and Phangan who can advocate on your behalf. That can include minor repairs or even moving you to another property if you’re not satisfied with your original choice. That’s something that the owner can’t help you with.

Prices can vary greatly depending on the location of the villa (closer to the beach or beach-front means you will pay for the access and view!), the size/bedroom numbers, the facilities, services and the standard of the villa - with several levels of luxury available! There are hundreds of villas available on the islands starting from basic, mid-level, luxury and beyond – it’s truly reliant on your budget and your requirements - either way, you will not be stuck for choice.

Generally a deposit of 50% or more is required to secure the villa of your choice prior to your holiday and the remainder paid in full upon arrival, this may vary from agent to agent. Read the rental agreement very carefully to make sure you understand what’s provided as well as any and all conditions, exclusions, inclusions, costs and penalties.

When you decide on the ideal holiday villa to suit your needs, you can relish in the fact that you will enjoy privacy, space and of course the beautiful tropical surrounds of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. Happy holidaying!
