Here is another credible reference as pronounced / quoted by another major Realty Corporate in the USA assisting their North American Clients for the Asian Region.



We know our markets and move much faster from within as we have more "feeler Agents" on our side to swiftly wrap up a good spot and deal than foreign corporations who are incidentally, only able to focus the larger slices that deals with major companies catering bigger investments as opposed to what we can offer like them but more realistically to smaller Investors on a more affordable amount but the "flipping" remains the same, just as quick with switch-overs and profits netted as the bigger players... we can package your collective amounts in their thousands from each individual but the larger Brokers expect a minimum of a few million per Investor as benchmark....

YOU as I know, DO NOT HAVE that kind of money to spend but prove us wrong would be a welcome to help see you benefit with interesting profits on a regular flipping pace...

But if you have anything affordable as low as $250, although preferably, we would like to see an amount of at least $1K or $3K to $5K or even between $10K to $25K per person, this would narrow down the size of the Group participating as individuals coming in together and the waiting time to decide on the next available property to buy up!!!

The costs in wrapping up as well is swifter than to legitimized some 30 to 80 collective Investors for just one single Pool Investment per property or on several projects. For every person will have to be documented and legalized for their share of the Pool and this comes from Solicitor and a rather larger administrative hurdle for Fees to cover. This is a normal formality in legitimate businesses.

It does not work the way many were led to be swayed, and conned as well by the other DBR Pools(remember them???) whom many also lost to... that was a shambles from the very start and was doomed anyway with or without Pips surviving because the Pips scam just beat that other one (DBR) to it anyway...


If you would like some assistance with this, our partner firm/Realty Agent in Singapore is more than equipped to help. Also, for those keen individuals interested only for themselves, Thai Resort homes are always long term investments. We can give you details of a very good investment in Bangkok, Phuket, and others in Khanom, Pattaya & Hua Hin - Thailand.

Here are some valuable information to get a basic idea to understand what an exotic country Thailand is that has wooed thousands and still more are flocking to that exceptional haven ...to be away for a good while and to live out in a lavish lifestyle with a modest if not, a negligible sum to last a lifetime!!!


1. Regions



Thailand's 76 provinces can be conveniently divided into five geographic and cultural regions.



@ North - Chiang Mai, hill tribes, and the Golden Triangle

@ Isaan - the great undeveloped north-east - get off the beaten track and discover backcountry Thailand and some magnificent Khmer ruins

@ Central - Bangkok, lowlands and historic Thailand

@ East - beaches and islands within easy reach of Bangkok, and, oh yes, Pattaya

@ South - hundreds of kilometers of coastline and countless islands on both the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, plus Phuket, Krabi, Ko Samui, Ko Tao and many more of Thailand's famous beach spots



2. Cities



@ Bangkok - Thailand's bustling, frenetic capital

@ Ayutthaya - a historical city, world heritage site and the old capital city of Thailand

@ Chiang Mai - the capital of the North and the heart of Lanna culture

@ Chiang Rai - gateway to the Golden Triangle

@ Hat Yai - largest city in the Southern region

@ Kanchanaburi - home of the Bridge over the River Kwai

@ Nakhon Ratchasima (Khorat) - main city in the Isaan region

@ Pattaya - one of the main tourist destinations

@ Sukhothai - Thailand's first capital



3. Other destinations



Islands & beaches:

@ Ko Chang - once quiet island undergoing major tourism development

@ Ko Lanta - sleepy island near Krabi

@ Ko Pha Ngan - site of the famous Full Moon Party

@ Ko Phi Phi - backpacker favorite where The Beach was filmed

@ Ko Samet - the nearest island beach escape from Bangkok

@ Ko Samui - hippie mecca gone upmarket

@ Ko Tao - where the world learns to scuba dive

@ Phuket - the original Thai paradise island

@ Rai Leh - stunning beach by the limestone cliffs of Krabi



National Parks:

@ Ko Chang National Park - in Trat Province

@ Tarutao National Park - in Satun Province

@ Similan Islands - in Phang Nga province



4. Understand



Thailand is the most popular tourist destination in South-East Asia, and for a reason. Exotic, yet safe and largely hassle-free; cheap, yet equipped with every modern amenity you need, there is something for every interest and every price bracket, from beach front backpacker bungalows to some of the best luxury hotels in the world. And de****e the heavy flow of tourism, Thailand retains its quintessential Thainess, with a culture and history all its own and a carefree people famed for their smiles and their fun-seeking sanuk lifestyle.



This is not to say that Thailand doesn't have its downsides, including the considerable growing pains of an economy where an agricultural laborer is lucky to earn 40 baht per day while the nouveau riche cruise past in their BMWs, and a highly visible sex tourism industry. Bangkok, the capital, is notorious for its traffic jams and rampant development has wrecked much of once-beautiful Pattaya and Phuket. In heavily touristed areas, some lowlifes have made scamming tourists into an art form.



4.1 History



A unified Thai kingdom was established in the mid-14th century. Known as Siam until 1939, Thailand is the only South-East Asian country never to have been taken over by a European power, and fiercely proud of the fact. A bloodless revolution in 1932 led to a constitutional monarchy. In alliance with Japan during World War II, Thailand became a US ally following the conflict. After a string of military dictatorships and quickly toppled civilian presidents, Thailand finally stabilized into a fair approximation of a democracy and the economy, hobbled by the 1997 Asian economic crisis, is booming once again. Above it all presides the King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), the world's longest-reigning monarch and a deeply loved and respected figure of near-mythic proportions.



In September 2006, a swift and bloodless military coup endorsed by the King overthrew the previous democratically elected but widely criticized government, promising elections in late 2007. Although martial law still applies and political gatherings are restricted, there has been no violence, no curfews are in effect, there is no longer any significant military presence in public places, and all services are functioning normally.



4.2 Climate



Thailand is largely tropical, so it's hot and humid all year around with temperatures in the 28-35°C range, a degree of relief provided only in the mountains in the far north of Thailand. The careful observer will, however, note three seasons:



- Cool : From November to the end of February, it doesn't rain much and temperatures are at their lowest, although you will barely notice the difference in the south and will only need to pack a sweater if hiking in the northern mountains, where temperatures can fall as low as 5°C. This is the most popular time to visit and, especially around Christmas and New Year's, finding flights and accommodation can be expensive and difficult.

- Hot : From March to June, Thailand swelters in temperatures as high as 40°C. Pleasant enough when sitting on the beach with a drink in hand, but not the best time of year to go temple-tramping in Bangkok.

- Rainy: From July to October, although it only really gets underway in September, tropical monsoons hit most of the country. This doesn't mean it rains non-stop, but when it does it pours and flooding is not uncommon.

There are local deviations to these general patterns. In particular, the south-east coast of Thailand (including Ko Samui) has the rains reversed, with the peak season being May-October and the rainy off season in November-February.

I bought a plot for our Australian-pooled Cottage Villa on the fringe of a prominent new golf course called Black Mountain Golf Course in Hua Hin, Thailand.

This golf course rose to spectacular prominence in the golf world within months of its opening in February 2007. It will also host the next Asian PGA Tournament in March 2008. This is an awesome opportunity on an exclusive location for serious Investors!!!

It is now possible to invest in Villas & Condos (houses and condominiums) on the golf course. For more information, please contact me and I shall assist you on any of the remaining plots & condos!!!

One other recent hot development. We have Villas and land properties and condos as you now know, the prices varies modestly from USD$90K-plus to as high as you wish to invest like past the USD$650K... and remember too, we can help you with the 50% Finance as well (unlike anywhere & while we manage your Investment & Rental, you earn monthly as income, and effectively dissolve the finance as well on your loan, can you find another option that does this in Thailand?!!!). The new fantastic offer is now out.

We have 20 luxury Condos to buy up separately for USD$28,5K each in one collective Investment purchase!!! If you bought it on your own, it will cost you nearly USD$98K from the Developer. Interested?

Be prepared to embark on an orientation trip to our projects in Thailand, let me make it a short, ALL-IN package holiday for you instead, and if you have a Financial Guru you listen to...bring him along...I hope he plays golf, he'll love the greens we have waiting.... there is no 50% Finance for this unique opportunity, I'm afraid.

The trumpet call of an elephant... dramatic limestone cliffs plunging into jade and turquoise seas... hundreds and hundreds of tasty curry dishes... floating markets... Buddhist temples... year-round warm, sunny weather... and locals legendary for their hospitality and friendliness... Yes – I’m talking about Thailand – perhaps the world’s most exotic overseas destination... And in today’s Thailand, you won’t believe how far you can stretch your retirement dollars. That’s why this April and May, you’re invited to find out for yourself why there’s never been a better time to start your new life in "The Land Of Smiles."

Company Vauban’s Thailand Real Estate Tours
June and July May '08

Company Vauban
In association with Pathfinder --International Living's exclusive Real Estate marketers are pleased to
welcome you to a pure Real Estate Tour in the land of smiles....

Thailand's growing numbers of expat settlers certainly have plenty to smile about.
Enjoying an enviable and easy-going lifestyle, they've discovered a friendly land of breathtaking beaches and gilded temples that marries jasmine-scented exoticism with incredible affordability.
In Thailand, living costs match - and usually outdo - almost any popular Latin-American expat haunt. And they're way, way below any European sunshine destination.

Here you can:
Dine well and still leave the table with change from $5.
Rent gorgeous homes for less than $400 a month (sometimes a lot less).
Purchase a studio condo in a seaside town for less than $20,000.
Get a full check-up in a modern hospital by an American-trained doctor for less than $40.
... with many, many other astounding bargains to boot.

In Thailand, you can enjoy all the 21st century comforts of home on a tiny, tiny budget...
Although Thailand is a low-wage economy, we'd hesitate to call it a true Third World country. Unless you insist on living in a really remote patch among the rice fields, there's no reason to abandon good dental care, large supermarkets, or reliable Internet access. Whether it's CNN News or shelves stacked with Pepsi-Cola, you need rarely be far from home comforts. In short, there's no need to give up a western-standard lifestyle... but there's no need to bother with mundane tasks like laundry either. Why would you want to? For $3, somebody will be more than pleased to take care of a whole load of it for you.

Switch Off the Washing Machine... and Have an Adventure!

Instead of loading up washing machines or cleaning windows like some sad, latter-day Cinderella, you could be enjoying a day at a beach on the Gulf of Thailand or beside the Andaman Sea.

Imagine snorkeling, diving, canoeing, and fishing in some of the cleanest waters on the planet.
The country has over 1,600 miles of spectacular coastline - and so many fabulous beaches and coves that you need never have exactly the same sun, sea, and sand experience twice.

Thrilling at the hypnotic seascapes of jungle limestone outcrops that bask in the blue-green ocean like nests of sleeping dragons. Lunching on tiger shrimp the size of a toddler's fist.
Alternatively you could be playing golf (green fees can be as low as $5!), playing tennis, or maybe getting rid of that niggly ache in your back with a traditional Thai massage – two hours of pampering for $8.
Yes – in Thailand – you can satisfy all your winter-time fantasies of white sands, coconut ****s, superb seafood, and soothing spas. Yet the Land of Smiles isn't just another of the world's tropical beach escapes where westerners enjoy a hedonistic lifestyle at a lot less than the cost back home.
Thailand also offers more cultural experiences and adventures than most people could ever dream of. Another thing which draws visitors back time and again is its almost otherworldly allure.

This Year, you’re invited to discover some of Thailand’s most attractive properties.

Over four days this June and July 2008 Company Vauban will introduce you to the best of Thailand’s main resorts – places where you can find your dream vacation home... enjoy an exotic, affordable overseas lifestyle... and potentially make a satisfactory return on your investment.

Each project featured on the tour has been carefully selected by Company Vauban
