A King's Paradise - Hua Hin!
For years this once "sleepy little town" has enjoyed great prestige among Thais. Hua Hin was the original holiday destination for royalty and jet-setters, who would escape from Bangkok's unbearable heat. Hua Hin, Thailand's oldest beach resort is located on the Gulf of Thailand, 200 km south of Bangkok.
Despite its expansive growth as a well-established beach destination with world-class facilities, the splendor of Hua Hin remains intact. The market is thriving with a strong focus on high standard developments. If you enjoy walking through quiet streets, sampling delicious seafood or practicing golf on one of the seven international golf courses, Hua Hin could very well be what you're looking for.
In Hua Hin, you can find an international hospital, 2 international schools, 2 international universities plus 3 Thai universities. A rapidly improving infrastructure is giving Hua Hin all the facilities of any modern community, including big shopping complexes and first-rate spas which have been receiving rave reviews for their top notch service, first-rate signature treatments and employing state-of-the-art technology.
Thailand, and especially Hua Hin, are becoming well known around the world for their golf courses, and that is as it should be. If you like golf and are planning to buy your holiday home in Hua Hin you are definitely coming to the right place. Many retirees decide to buy property in this exclusive beach - golfing town on this part of the Thai gulf. There is great golf to be played here, in addition to the countless other activities available to the non-golfers in the family.
The Hua Hin housing market is flourishing. Over the past twelve months, many new housing developments have started up in Hua Hin. It is estimated that in Hua Hin there is somewhere around 1,500 new homes under construction and the large majority are not located close to the sea.
Projects initially involved building homes for tourists who wished to settle down in Hua Hin. There were only a handful of developers and these were almost all Thai. The development industry quickly grew, and soon large plots of land were being bought from locals and divided into plots for sale. Now there are many developments all over Hua Hin, not all are Thai owned or operated. Hua Hin developers are targeting up-market buyers - therefore houses are built to higher standards.
The housing market will continue to rise supported by, higher quality materials and strong demand from Thai visitors, retirees and expats from Bangkok.
