new fund highlights investment potential of thailand property
News Posted On: 18 February 2010
A new fund by Safe Haven, the property group has been set up to target residential buy to let investments in the UK and holiday homes around the world. In their opening media rounds, statements by spokespersons said that Thailand would be one of the countries that they would be investing in initially.
Given the warnings of over-supply on the mainland, one can only assume that they mean the islands of Phuket, Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. Investments in these islands did very well on regional tourism as Asia boomed in the mid-noughties, but suffered just as badly as everywhere else when Asia succumbed to the crisis.
This is the first clear sign that research by investment funds is suggesting a return to glory for these markets. However, it goes with what we already know to be true from other stories: Asia's giants are back on the path to strong economic growth, China, India and others never saw recession, and everywhere is returning to strong growth -- even property values are growing.
It stands to reason that this would bring the resurgence in the tourism markets of Phuket, Koh Samui, and the new emerging market of Koh Phangan. Given that prices of luxury villas were slashed on these islands, as the drop in sales caused an oversupply problem, one can see why Safe Haven have highlighted the investment potential of Thailand holiday homes.
