bkk6060 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 No way it will be done by 2020 or even 2030 unless this country turns in the same as the new Chinapines. The Philipines want the Chinese friendship(and money) big time. So, is Chinaland coming here? Maybe, if the Chinese paid for it and other projects the thing would easily be done in 4 years. Also, gambling is a real possibility but won't raise home prices much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 The much heralded, Chinese funded, nationwide railway upgrades have been shelved by the current administration for the time being so there's no hope for the Pattaya bullet train any time soon IMHO.

If that's the case then I am pretty sure I will take my family to HH in some weekends just for a change of scenery, driving is too far for my son. I am sure many retires will do the same if the price is right and they can go during weekdays where the demand is likely less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 If they did the HH ferry same as those fast boats to Macau, it would be great. But, when I think of a ferry here I fear slow moving and potential sinking disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, when I think of a ferry here I fear slow moving and potential sinking disaster. Well if they will be carrying 4 wheelers, I will defiantly check if my class A on the truck will cover for a sinking ferry or not, LOL. A 40 knobs ferry demands very very good lookout from the bridge at all times, they normally got 2 navigators on watch when sailing ( In EU) and they are not supposed to sit with their faces in their mobile phones, posting on Facebook, which I am worried they will do here. So if this ferry becomes a reality one can have a condo in each places, 1 week here followed by one week in HH, just take your scooter and pop down to the ferry terminal and arrive 1.5 hour later but okay I think I will pass on that, not too fond of HH myself and prefer fun town.

A1Str8 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Regardless of the cynical comments, you can bet it will go up. You are just asking at the wrong place.

Cracks me up every time 75 Years Grandma would have bought a small house with lots of land.....what went up 1000% was the value of the land.....the flood of shoebox condos will definitely increase in valve maybe 2% in the next 1000 years!

Global Guy Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 If you are looking for short-term land speculation you might look at south part of Theppraya in Jomtien, south of the roundabout and continuing south up to where it stops at Sukhumvit. There's quite a bit of vacant land left but getting built up. A number of shophouse buildings, a couple cafes, etc have gone up in the last year and a large condo 1000+ unit complex with that odd white castle looking clubhouse will speed up development. It's also where The Atlantis complex is located. I'm not sure how much of the vacant land is buildable. I saw quite a bit of marsh type wetlands but I'm sure that's common for this area. I'm no civil engineer so I can't give any comment on that. There has also been rumors that Tesco is taking over the Renplo Market/Beer Bar complex north of there as well. Again, I'm sure that's been a rumor for a while. Anyway, I've been watching this area for about a year or so and it's gone from almost no buildings to a handful and growing.
