rocketboybkk Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 So, where do people feel is the best value land to purchase near a costal area? It doesn't need to be in the beach!! Pattaya & surrounds want stupid money. Phuket, Krabi, lanta, Samui etc. the same. Must be in Thailand before anyone says other countries!

PattayaPhom Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Try Bang Saray Eastside of Suk, half Rai for less than 2 Mil and only 5 minutes to beaches, 15 minutes to Patters. Thx. Too much money there now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If this is too much, how much do you wish to spend on land? Where are you in BKK, is it easier to go South on Petchkasem or Suk. As its for a holiday home whats the max distance you wish to travel from BKK. Anywhere past Petchaburi you can find land for less than a Mil a Rai but you will be out in the boonies with no real local services, plus utility connections can be expensive and the beaches around Puktien or further down to Pranburi although OK are not the best for swimming. East you probably need to look at Sattahip and further South as mention Rayong. DD Property is always a good website o get some indication of prices.

rwdrwdrwd Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Khanom and Sichon - not too difficult to get a rai for less than a million within 10 mins drive of the beach, and less the further you go away from the coast. Very good infrastructure, wealthy locals, lots of space, growing western amenities, great beaches, two airports within an hours drive, Samui 90 mins away by boat.

crazykopite Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 If you think beachland in Thailand is to expensive look at the cost in Europe. To me it is about location and views at least on a beach front plot you know that nothing will be built in front of you to spoil your view. I would rather pay big money for the perfect plot of land and build a simple house that does not cost the earth after all most of us in Thailand would be sitting out under the terrace enjoying the view or sipping into the pool or if your lucky the ocean !

sendintheclowns Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Khanom and Sichon - not too difficult to get a rai for less than a million within 10 mins drive of the beach, and less the further you go away from the coast. Very good infrastructure, wealthy locals, lots of space, growing western amenities, great beaches, two airports within an hours drive, Samui 90 mins away by boat. Khanom is outrageously priced, now that a huge contingent of Japenese and others have arrived to work on the power plant expansion. There are some large chunks of land that seem to be vacant ( just coconut trees). Those tend to be priced at 1million baht/rai. But, the price per rai climbs dramatically, when you want to buy a small lot. FYI - the district's Water supply ( or lack thereof) is a major problem. A million a rai is possible, but it will probably have been used for rubber trees, or worst of all, oil palms. Generally, such land requires infrastructure; water well, road access, electricity cabling. And - this is true for any area where you are buying a small piece of land. Most rural land is in large chunks, requiring not only sub-division, but also you have to be very very careful, to ensure that you have registered right of way over any property you need to cross, to get to the land you buy. To sell last a property last year, we had to 'eat' 230,000 baht, for not checking, when we bought, years earlier. Sichon is a much larger district, may have some attractive deals. PM me if you want more info about Khanom. But, I have very little info. on prices, as I'm not an agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishcarlos Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) We just bought in Khanom. 4mil for 2.5 rai. Its about 600m back from the beach. I just wanted to be able to walk to the beach, this plot is great location for me. We have spent a lot of time searching. Prices vary a great deal but average around 3mil per rai unless you go inland. Saw one plot in Khanom town and they wanted 6mil for less than a rai We just got lucky....
