Buying Property in Thailand Can Be a Wise Investment

Bangkok, Phuket, Thailand No Comments
Daniel Wallace asked:

Buying property in Thailand is an increasingly popular move by foreigners. Whether it is as an investment in a holiday rental home, a place to retire to, or simply as a retreat as they look to escape the weather, the rat race or the high cost of living in the West, Thai property is becoming highly sought after.

Although subject to strict controls, it is relatively easy to buy property in Thailand, although as there are no mortgage deals for non Thai citizens you must be able to buy the property outright. Also, technically, it is not the land you will own but the property itself, although possession of the land is assured by virtue of the fact that the property obviously occupies the land. Furthermore, it is not impossible to own freehold land if you fall within certain conditions.

The Cocos Islands

thailand and travel No Comments

Stick a pin in a globe through the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, and it emerges almost exactly through the Cocos in Costa Rica.

Discovered in 1609, these islands were settled and owned by a single family from 1827 until the Australian Government forcibly acquired them in 1978 for a payment of over $6 million.

Lying 2,770 km (1,732 ml) northwest of Perth, the 27 coral islands are formed into two large, heavily vegetated atolls. Not only are they the only atolls that Darwin ever visited, but the coral ecosystem remains intact and you can still see in their pristine condition exactly why they played such an important part in his theory of evolution.

Kuching and Sarawak Offer a Great Wealth to the Visitor!

Hotel, thailand and travel, Travel No Comments

Kuching is the capital city of the eastern Malaysian state called Sarawak. Kuching is the largest city on the island of Borneo with a total population of close to 640,000 people. Kuching was given “city” status in 1988 and is known as Cat City – Kuching being the Malay word for cat.

Sarawak belonged to the Sultanate of Brunei until 1841 when it was gifted to a British adventurer called James Brooke for his help in putting down a rebellion against the Sultanate. Kuching then became Brooke’s headquarters – with easy access from the river. The Brooke family ruled Sarawak until the Japanese occupation in 1941 during the Second World War. For almost 4 years the Japanese held power in Sarawak and Kuching which ended in September of 1945 upon their surrender.

Best Bali Shopping

Hotel, thailand and travel, Travel No Comments

Spreading all over Bali are some magnificent shopping areas that you can spend days at browsing the many unusual shops. The majority of the preferred Bali hotels and resorts are situated in the south of the island and Kuta has for some time been the point of interest of visitor action, so it is expected that the most commercial and fashionable shopping area has been built here. The other area in Bali that provides a shopping experience that’s poles apart is Ubud. Ubud is the artistic and creative heart of Bali and this is where you will find superb art works to take home.

Bali Shopping is not just a matter of going into a store, selecting an item and then paying for it, it is meant to be fun and making an attempt to get a bargain is part of the excitement.
