I looked at this project a couple years ago, and it looked like it was going to be very nice. Haven't been down there since; how's it turned out? Are they keeping the place kept up nicely? Have the promised new phases materialized? Are people who have bought there happy?

Which building.

Anyway, I think they are too many and they are not cheap. I would imagine you would have a lot of trouble selling one.

Personally I would go for a much more exclusive classy condo.

I'm not talking about the condos, but the freestanding villas. View Talay Villas.

I looked at them a few years ago. We thought they looked like dog houses with little splash pools in front. But the pictures of them do look good on the beer condoms.

i have a couple of friends who live there, one in particular has a beautiful place.

the village is very clean, secure and classy.

Still clean etc.

If you are happy with the price (high) and want to live there fine.

For investment - already at the top of the price range for IMO very average place.

I have a client and friend who lives in a rented one. It is very nice, although neither of us thinks it is outstanding and at 50K baht per month for a one bed, one bath it is questionable value. He is trying (and I wish him luck) to get them to agree to a price reduction.

He has become less enamoured since a karaoke opened across the road under 4 sticks and a sheet of poly tarp. He is subject to a boom box of ludicrous proportions spoiling his peace most hours of the day and night. Still, at least he didn’t buy; the worst he will lose is a couple of months rent if he has to find somewhere where sleep is still possible!

Yeah - has anyone endured the salestalk of the %\% timeshare RCI.com mob nearby? What a bunch of crooks - claiming they would rent the normal studios for 3,900 and the 1 BR "villas" with a wee little pool for 7,500 THB/month e v e r y d a y. Just by associating with these scoundrels, I've had it with View Talay. Or would you lie to spend about 14,800 Dollars for 1/26th timeshare with "only" Dollar 185 maintenanca fee per week?!?
