Popular Post ASEAN NOW Sales Posted September 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2021 It is always difficult to know where to invest or indeed buy a property just as a holiday home in Thailand. Variables range from property appreciation, rental returns to your own personal preference as to where to be located. As a seasoned expat who has traveled across Thailand, Koh Chang always catches my eye on a number of fronts. For starters, it is one of the largest islands in Thailand and with new road links, it is a comfortable drive from Bangkok and Suvarnabhumi airport. I also notice the Trat airport, just 20-minutes from the island, has been earmarked as an International airport. The island itself offers so many things to do, from sandy beaches, trekking, nearby island hopping, fishing to eating out - yet retains a rugged charm due to so much of the island being a national park. I spent three months on this island during much of the pandemic in early 2021 and loved every moment with my family. Tourist Demand Pre-Covid the largest visitor group to Koh Chang was domestic, although the International market had been growing year on year as more people started to discover this island. The fact Bangkokians and those in Chonburi - like Pattaya - can drive to the island (there are regular car ferries continuously), makes it a popular weekend getaway. Property market Unlike other more saturated island markets, like Samui and Phuket, Koh Chang is still in growth and developing. On Koh Chang you can find developments like Siam Royal View, which is just 5-minutes from the ferry and a beach fronted development. There is also a range of property types from villas for all budgets to condominiums now starting to appear. It makes for an interesting investment opportunity. 1 2 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
