teutonian Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 This developer doesn’t have much luck in Phuket. Another one of their projects at Maikhao as been under reconstruction while occupied since 2015. It’s a small wonder nobody has been seriously hurt there yet.

paahlman Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Maybe its the area that is prone to fire.. Floresta went up in flames too just after soft opening... True.. But it was a sidekick.. Joking aside.. Hope nobody was hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius verus Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Probably some Burmese workers live on site and left a cooking fire burning after passing out from too much laokhao and ya dong. Happens all the time in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This begs the question: who is the target buyer? In that location it'll be mainly Thais as the target market. The value of the baht doesn't affect them. Not all condos are targeted at foreigners.
