February 26, 20179 yr http://thesanctumchiangmai.com/ Prices start at 47 million baht. Location: Nong Kwai, Chiang Mai Seems completely outrageous?
February 26, 20179 yr Poured concrete walls surround a fully-equipped nuclear fallout shelter on the ground floor of each villa, because at Sanctum safety and security come first, no matter the circumstances. Flanking the master bedroom, steel-strong doors, hidden safes, and monitoring stations are just some of the features in Sanctum’s integrated panic room, offering an impenetrable shelter for all eventualities.
February 26, 20179 yr Author Seems such a small target market: - High net worth individuals - Who fear a nuclear holocaust - And are willing to start company to 'own' the land (if not Thai) How many people are we talking about here...5?
February 26, 20179 yr For sure it won't Sell.. real gal estate in that price bracket anywhere in Thailand, even in Bangkok...has a very limited market... one mega upmarket Residence in Bangkok, I looked at about 5 years back, they are still trying to sell some of,the units there ???? Silly Prices... just my my two cents worth...
February 27, 20179 yr Nothing to do with bursting of RE bubble. This project is more about preparation for a complete breakdown of law and order with the provision of a panic room.
March 2, 20179 yr They’ve started construction on the first one, which would imply they have a buyer. If I could own land and they would be willing to negotiate about the price, I would certainly be interested. And as written above, this offering has nothing to do with bubble economics.

Should you want to speculate on land for capital gain, you pay 10m for the land and spend 1m on a house. When you subsequently sell, the house is a write off...

Or for people who don't want any surprise visits from the authorities or rival gangs... Not hard to believe there's a number of people in Thailand willing to pony up $1.5 Million to guaranty their "privacy". Heck, in China they often find boxes and boxes of dirty cash being stored in multiple houses bought just for storing it where it doesn't have to be reported. They don't even bother with the security features. Maybe they're learning.

I saw the foundations for the first building being poured over 2 years ago and all they've got right now is a concrete skeleton. I'm also intrigued by the fact that they're only building one villa, for the moment. Hope that presumed first buyer isn't thinking of moving into his cash vault upon completion. His/her stacks of cash might have dust settle on them for some time to come with all the construction still ongoing at that point!

If you have a couple hundred $$$ Million to hide, what's $1.5 Mil for the vault? It'll be interesting to see who (if anyone) moves in. My guess is that it's so over the top that just moving in would put you under a whole new level of unwelcome scrutiny.

If it succeeds it will surely change my perspective of the Chiang Mai property market..
