EDITORIAL

EDITOR'S LETTER As the year slowly comes to an end Samui Phangan Real Estate’s most popular issue is literally bursting at the seams with heavenly projects and real estate tips.

I’d firstly like to thank Jade for her hard work as Editor the last 4 years and wish her well on her journey as I retake my seat as editor for the magazine.

Samui has evolved even further and faster than I anticipated having been away for a while but without doubt this now famous international Island still has that amazing charm and flair that takes a piece of your soul and will not let you leave.

This issue we look more closely at some of the upcoming luxury developments on the island but still have time to see how a remarkable recycling method produces roof tiles from old drink cartons.

With that and at an end of an absolutely exhilarating year I’d like to take the time on behalf of myself and the Satayu Publishing Team to wish you all a very Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays and we hope that the New Year turns out to be a very special one for you all filling each day with the peak of health, abundance of happiness, sunshine, bountiful luxury, prosperity and Zen like serenity.

WHAT IS POLISHED CONCRETE A polished concrete floor or wall has a glossy, mirror-like finish. The design options for polished concrete are vast. You can choose nearly any color, create patterns with saw cuts, or embed aggregates or interesting objects into the concrete prior to polishing. The reflectivity of the concrete can also be controlled by using different levels of concrete polishing. Polished concrete is especially popular in commercial buildings because it is easy to maintain. Maintaining polished floors only requires dust mopping and occasional use of a cleaning product.

Simply put, polishing concrete is similar to sanding wood. Heavy-duty polishing machines equipped with progressively finer grits of diamond-impregnated segments or disks (akin to sandpaper) are used to gradually grind down surfaces to the desired degree of shine and smoothness.

Polishing Process The process begins with the use of coarse diamond segments bonded in a metallic matrix. These segments are coarse enough to remove minor pits, blemishes, stains, or light coatings from the floor in preparation for final smoothing. Depending on the condition of the concrete, this initial rough grinding is generally a three to four-step process.

The next steps involve fine grinding of the concrete surface using diamond abrasives embedded in a plastic or resin matrix. Crews use ever-finer grits of polishing disks (a process called lapping) until the floor has the desired sheen. For an extremely high-gloss finish, a final grit of 1500 or finer may be used. Experienced polishing crews know when to switch to the next-finer grit by observing the floor surface and the amount of material being removed.

During the polishing process an internal impregnating sealer is applied. The sealer sinks into the concrete and is invisible to the naked eye. It not only protects the concrete from the inside out, it also hardens and compacts the concrete. This eliminates the need for a topical coating, which reduces maintenance significantly (versus if you had a coating on it). Some contractors

spread a commercial polishing compound onto the surface during the final polishing step, to give the floor a bit more sheen. These compounds also help clean any residue remaining on the surface from the polishing process and leave a dirt-resistant finish.

You can polish concrete using wet or dry methods.

Although each has its advantages, dry polishing is the method most commonly used in the industry today because it's faster, more convenient, and environmentally friendly. Wet polishing uses water to cool the diamond abrasives and eliminate grinding dust. Because the water reduces friction and acts as a lubricant, it increases the life of the polishing abrasives. The chief disadvantage of this method is the cleanup. Wet polishing creates a tremendous amount of slurry that crews must collect and dispose of in an environmentally sound manner. With dry polishing, no water is required. Instead, the floor polisher is hooked up to a dust-containment system that vacuum up virtually all of the mess.

Many contractors use a combination of both the wet and dry polishing methods. Typically, dry polishing is used for the initial grinding steps, when more concrete is being removed. As the surface becomes smoother, and crews switch from the metal-bonded to the finer resin-bonded diamond abrasives, they generally change to wet polishing.

Step-by-Step

• Remove existing coatings (for thick coatings, use a 16- or 20-grit diamond abrasive or more aggressive tool specifically for coating removal, such as a T-RexTM).

• Seal cracks and joints with an epoxy or other semi-rigid filler.

• Grind with a 30- or 40-grit metal-bonded diamond.

• Grind with an 80-grit metal-bonded diamond.

• Grind with a 150-grit metal-bonded diamond (or finer, if desired).

• Apply a chemical hardener to compact the concrete.

• Polish with a 100- or 200-grit resin-bond diamond, or a combination of the two.

• Polish with a 400-grit resin-bond diamond.

• Polish with an 800-grit resin-bond diamond.

• Finish with a 1500- or 3000-grit resin-bond diamond (depending on the desired sheen level).

• Optional: Apply a stain guard to help protect the polished surface and make it easier to maintain.

Light and Beachy Styling with White

Designed as Satuman Japanese Restaurant Now part of Elysia Boutique Resort

T

here’s nothing that says dreamy, relaxed, balmy, island life more than the light and airy feel of the colour white.

The versatility of white is endless and has the ability to adapt to any space - from our island’s modern, luxury villas, to the quaint beach houses we so often see dotted along the coastline of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.

With the ability to reflect the stunning island environment by bringing the outdoors, in, highlighting the vibrant blues and greens we naturally have on offer, white is a popular choice for island and beach side homeowners around the world. It’s classic, timeless appeal offers something no other colour can when designing your interior space.

From whitewashed walls and carved ornamental pieces to luxurious white linens and modern, high gloss furniture pieces, the style choices are infinite and individual. The vast variety of white hues available enables designers and homeowners to create a feel depending on the pallete of choice.

Cool whites have grey, blue or green undertones, and deliver a crisp and bright feel, while warm whites have yellow, peach or beige tones and can be used to warm a space and create a romantic and soft environment.

It is, however easy to make styling errors when using white - ending up with a clinical feel due to too many high gloss surfaces, sharp lines and poor lighting choices.

See my tips for styling with white below to create a gorgeous beachy feel that suits modern, natural and eclectic homes.

• Style with texture: Use white stone like unpolished marble and textured travertine for exterior flooring and feature spaces; natural elements like timber, rope and corals; and luxe linens in soft hues with woven baskets detailing your room.

• Styling with cool whites: Pick up soft greys, pewters, silvers, pale blues and greens to accent your white while keeping it light, cool and beachy.

• Styling with warm whites: Are you longing for white’s romantic side? Go for warm, creamy whites, grainy natural textures and plenty of detail, such as linen, lace, porcelain and white washed pieces.

• Plants and flowers: Make use of our lush tropical environment and use the stunning array of flora and fauna on offer – Orchids, palms, frangipani’s and heliconias (commonly termed Birds of Paradise) are all great options for our warm, humid environment. Choose beautiful textured potted plants for inside your home.

• Finishing touches: Use natural weaves in floor rugs and baskets; soft timbers in your furniture choices or building finishes; and mirrors will bring the outside colours into your home. Add big glass doors and windows and utilize glass in pendant lights and vases to allow the light to flow through your home.

• Don’t be afraid to mix modern with earthy and natural: You don’t have to stick with one theme! Modernise an earthy home with sharp clean lines on your kitchen counters and vanities and soften a modern home with texture, flowers and plants.

• Lighting: Always use warm white light bulbs when choosing your lighting. This will create a warm, ambient light for your home. If you would like to use a brighter light in bathrooms and other areas of the house, go with a white light rather than blue tones like flourescents.

Planning

an outdoor party

Being in the throes of holiday season, it’s party season; more specifically, it’s outdoor party season. It’s the time to gather with friends and enjoy the warmer temperatures. And nothing beats having a great meal and cocktails on a patio or in your backyard. But before you send out invitations to your friends and family, get prepped for your outdoor party with tips and advice from Kirsten Korhani, the creative director of Korhani Home.

“The ideal outdoor party is a comfortable, relaxed environment,” explains Korhani. “Everybody is enjoying themselves without the host constantly being involved.” Which means the host can enjoy the party, too!

Think of your outdoor space like your indoor space When you’re having a party indoors, one of the first things you want to do is make your guests feel comfortable. Cozy chairs, ample seating and a warm and inviting atmosphere usually do the trick. Take that same concept and bring it to your outdoor entertaining space.

“Outdoor is the new indoor; make sure your space is as inviting and stylish as your inside,” says Korhani. “Be sure to have enough comfy seating for your guests. To make your space feel more homely, add cushions and throw pillows onto the chairs, add candles for lighting, and be sure to accessorize with accent pieces (centerpieces on the table, for example).”

Prep well in advance The key to a great dinner party or any get-together is simple – the host needs to be enjoying his or her time as well. The best way to make this happen? “Prepare food and drinks in advance so you are able to relax and enjoy as the host,” suggests Korhani. “A few hours of extra prep the day before or morning of will mean you’re not always checking on the oven, making sure the wine is chilled or rushing around from indoors to outdoors.”

Leasehold Rights Demystified Over the last several months there have been many notable changes in the operations of the Koh Samui and Koh Phangan Land Offices regarding the ownership and leasehold rights of foreign real estate investors.

Many of these changes are currently only applicable in Koh Samui and Koh Phangan and have resulted in a shift in the way developers structure sales and the way real estate investors invest in residential and resort property. Due to these various changes, real estate investors should become more familiar with and understand leasehold rights for land, apartments, and villas.

A foreign investor can obtain a lease over land, an apartment unit, and/or a villa with such interest registered at the relevant Land Office, in accordance with Thai law, for a maximum period of 30 years.

Section 540 of the Civil and Commercial Code of Thailand states that: “The duration of a hire of immovable property cannot exceed 30 years. If it is made for a longer period, it is to be reduced to 30 years. The aforesaid period may be renewed, but it may not exceed 30 years from the date of renewal”. Land officers will refuse to register any lease with a term of more than 30 years or a lease agreement offering automatic lease renewal terms. Clearly a 30 year lease alone is not a particularly attractive investment to an investor who is looking to secure the use of a property in the long term and that results in the future value of the property to diminish as the lease draws closer to its term date.

70

samui phangan real estate

In order to allow investors to occupy the leased property for a term of more than 30 years, many developers provide investors with a contractual promise to grant contractual options to the investor allowing the investor to renew the lease for multiple (usually two or three) subsequent lease terms of 30 years each. The lease renewal options usually take the form of a series of clauses in an addendum to the lease agreement to the effect that, immediately upon the expiry of the initial registered lease term, the parties shall immediately register a new lease on precisely the same terms for a further term of 30 years or the longest registerable lease term at the time of each contractual renewal. The rental for each contractual renewal is usually limited to no more than the costs of registering the subsequent leases.

It is important for investors to ensure that the legal provisions for the renewal of the lease are as robust as possible and that the procedure set out in the addendum to the lease agreement for the registration of the lease renewals are clearly defined. The identity of the person or entity granting the lease (usually called the Lessor) is also an important consideration for investors and can have an impact upon the likelihood of the lease being renewed at the end of the initial 30 year term.

Investors should be aware that if the Lessor is a living person, it may not be possible for the investor to enforce the lease renewal options against the heirs of the Lessor in the event that the Lessor dies during the initial 30 year registered lease term.

The security of the lease renewal can be enhanced if the Lessor is a limited Thai company. Legally speaking, a limited Thai company is a “legal person” in the sense that it can be sued in the same way as a living person, if it fails to perform its obligations under a lease contract, however, unlike a living person, a limited company cannot die or disappear. Notwithstanding the benefits of leasing from a limited Thai Company, the Thai company itself must be correctly and legally formed and properly maintained during the lease term.

A number of leading property developers in Koh Samui offer a more sophisticated “Protected Leasehold Structure” to buyers in residential developments. In addition to the registered 30 year lease with lease renewal options, the investor is also provided with a share in an offshore company which in turn owns shares in a limited Thai company which owns the project land and grants the lease to the each of the buyers. This structure allows the owners in the project, collectively, to exercise control over certain important decisions of the land owning company relating to the land, such as (in certain circumstances), the lease renewals.

In conclusion, leasehold investments are a secure and viable means of acquiring an interest in real estate in Thailand for a term of years beyond the maximum registered lease term of 30 years. However, investors and their legal representatives must ensure that the leasehold structure which is being offered is fully compliant with the laws of Thailand and that the lease renewal options are as robust as possible within the parameters of Thai law.

PebbleTec® pool finishes offer a stunning and superior alternative to tiles and liner pools and has many advantages. It creates a non-slip, textured surface that is extremely strong and durable, holding a 5-year warranty on both the product and any work completed by the applicator. The water tone it creates is unique and comes in a range of different colored pebbles to achieve whatever the client desires. With steady and regular maintenance the pool finish will retain its natural beauty infinitely with never the need to re-grout etc. Pebble finishes are also very speedy in application always finishing by deadline and within budget.

“ A year from now, in May 2013, we met with the directors of Palm Group Asia.

This meeting was crucial and very important to us.

We found a team that was able to complete and deliver our buidling project.

Thanks to the support, the listeming and the guidance of Kurt and Loulou and all of the technical team as well as Roger and John on site.

Today we have the house we dreamed of.

During the construction, Palm Group Asia have made every effort to achieve our most specific expectations.

It was a caring customer service, and with confidence our project was born today.

In May 2014, as agreed, the delivery of our property was above our expectations. We wish each and everyone, one day to get to live and experience these rare moments full of joy that we have experienced.

Palm Group Asia allowed us to live these moments, so to them, a big THANK YOU !

Obviously, we recommend Palm Group Asia to all, for anyone’s future projects.

B-Smart

he electronic revolution has reached every part of our lives, from the way we answer telephones to the way we cook, wash, tell time, and watch a TV show. Just look around your house and count the number of appliances and gadgets that incorporate electronic controls that didn't even exist a few years ago.

The boom in electronics too has revolutionized home security. Today's burglar alarm systems use sophisticated minicomputers to control sensors and responses. They're smarter and easier to use than ever before.

Today “Samui Phangan Real Estate Magazine” is lucky enough to interview Khun B of B Smart systems in Koh Samui.

Khun B you have been an important part of the growth and development on Koh Samui with your B- Smart company, can you tell us a little bit about how and why you started?

Many years ago I worked in Bangkok with UCOM Company at the DTAC head office. My position was Communication Electronic System Manager and then my wife moved to Koh Samui, and I followed her a little later. First when I was on Samui I had an idea that Samui needed someone with security alarm system expertise and with my previous experience I could see a good opportunity to start this business. I did some research, looking for an international security system company to partner with, I went to the exhibition and I finally signed the contract to be a dealer with BOSCH, WisDom, MAXWELL, FUJIKO, BTICINO and KENPRO. I completed all the training courses with them until I was completely confident and it was also good to know that they would give professional support.

My first client was Baan Manora Villa at Laem Sor, and I started to advertise with Samui-Phangan Real Estate Magazine and people started to see and know my company through the magazine plus I had very strong brand names and my commitment to my clients was good service and not let them down.

Khun B you have spent many years on Koh Samui where does your family actually originate?

I am originally from Songkla but I spent most of my time studying and working in Bangkok but now we have settled with my wife and our lovely children on Samui.

What are the core functions of B Smart?

Good Service and good products is my core and as I have said earlier I am working with large professional companies that always give good support when anything happens with their products and that makes my job flow, my clients are then happy and I am happy.

Apart from Home Security can you tell us what else B Smart has to offer?

Apart from our full security systems we offer installation for Internet True on-line, Internet CAT Telecom, which uses fibre optic, which is faster, and has a very strong signal, and also fire alarm systems.

How many years has B Smart Security Company been in business for?

phone, for example if you are on holiday you can check if your alarm is triggered and maybe some insect has walked passed or something touched the sensor so no need to disturb your neighbour you can turn off on your phone.

Here is a free app to download “ MyELAS RISCO Group” You can always contact me if you have any questions on how to use it.

What happens if I move out of my home?

In case you have to move, we can take out and re-install for you on Samui. Or if you move to elsewhere you can use the service near where you live as I said we use very high standard brands and you can find a supplier everywhere in Thailand.

Will I be provided with alarm yard signs and decals to put up around my home?

Yes if required.

What is your vision for B Smart?

My vision is to improve my system, services and make my clients confident and feel that what they pay for is worthwhile and have trust in us to do the job. We are always upgrading to new technology with security systems.

I get very enthusiastic each time we have new products to present. Our new technology means less worry for the client.

Tell me about a project or accomplishment that you consider being the most significant in your career?

It was an installation at a hospital and bus station near the southern border. At that time I could hear gun shots it was very scary but I was very proud to be a part and to help the people over there.

Tell us about a time when things didn't go the way you wanted-like a project that didn't turn out how you had hoped?

Never had a problem with my system that we couldn’t fix.

But something out of our control is Samui electricity. It can be very damaging with the current surges. But again in that event we can fix what has been damaged too.

Khun B you are always getting the newest and most innovative technology for B Smart is there something new and interesting you’d like to tell us about?

10 Years.

Full control on your smart phone by using an app, as I can see how useful they are, less cost and less headache than paying someone.

Does the company offer leased alarm systems or do I own it after a certain amount of time?

If you have one piece of important advice for residents what would this be?

We don’t offer leasing on systems.

Can I have an alarm system installed, but not have it monitored?

Whatever happens first you must protect yourself with our new security technology. And again it really helps you to have your own security by controlling it from your smartphone. Easy, less cost and saves time.

What happens if my alarm system goes off?

Our commitment is to always try to find the best solution for our clients and their safety, especially now that they can look through all their rooms while even on holiday.

Yes, you can and without monitoring it is then slightly cheaper.

If you live in Bangkok I would say the police will be at your house in 10 minutes as they have “miracle eyes project” from government to co-operate with police if you need help please see more info: www.miracleeyes.net/Home.aspx#2 But out of Bangkok its not easy so we advise you to protect yourself with a good security system and we are proud to present new apps that give you full control on your smart

VERANO

RESIDENCE THE NEXT BEST THING IN LIFE When it comes to structural drawings, judging a book by its cover can expose a world of inspiration. Verano Residence’s modern exteriors and unique designs display a wide range of stylistic influences but they all have one thing in common, they embrace the constraints and challenges presented by their environments by creating a unified experience between terrain, materials, and structure. These buildings don't disrupt the landscape – they pave a new road to experience it. Obscuring the lines between vernacular architecture and modernist design principals allows home exteriors to become something more than just a beautiful facade. The combination between the smooth white walls and textural stone cladding exert amazing visual charm.

In 2005 Khun Chuwong, originally from the province of Songkla in South Thailand, visited the beautiful island of Koh Samui with his wife Khun Ple. They both immediately fell in love with the island, its people, the lifestyle and decided to make Samui their second home. Meanwhile, Khun Chuwong who has been very active in the real estate market decided in 2013 to purchase an enchanted plot in Chaweng Noi that would soon become “Verano Residence�.

At that time, Chaweng Noi was still pretty much virgin territory with only a few structures. The aim of Khun Chuwong was to develop a high end luxury residence, offering a tropical modern style but blending with the natural surroundings and therefore in perfect harmony with nature, It took one year of hard work with By Vista architect and Samui Property Centre but Verano Residence was born. Khun Narong Pondate is the founder of By Vista Co. Ltd, a Samui based architectural and design company. He is a fervent defender of Koh Samui's green identity. He has designed the Verano Residence with the idea to embrace nature and to keep as much of the natural beauty, trees, fauna and boulders as possible onsite.

Verano Residence started from the ground up and soon developed a very high end infrastructure, 8 to 12 meter

wide roads, underground 3Phase electricity and ultra fast fiber optic internet. Water was always an issue on the Samui so 4 deep wells were dug to cover the demand.

The water is then stored into two huge water tanks of 150 cubic meters each before being distributed into each of the individual villa water tanks.

The innovative infrastructure was finally completed in December 2014. This is when the construction of the first phase started with Villa A2 and the management office. Then followed the construction of 5 other villas to complete Phase 1. Villa A2 and the Management office are now completed while the construction of the whole Phase 1 will be completed by June 2016.

Each villa in Phase 1 are 3 bedroom villas that are designed in a tropical modern style, using only the latest construction materials. The villas are all on 2 storeys, with the 3 bedrooms, with ensuite bathrooms, located on the first floor, each with balconies not to miss Samui’s amazing stunning views. The lower floor consists of the main living area, with fully fitted kitchen and a beautiful large terrace surrounding the stunning infinity edge pool. The villas are about 180sq.m inside and 160sq.m outside area on plots ranging from 580sq.m to 680sq.m.

The clients come from South Africa, Thailand, England, China, so basically from all over the world. While some owners are buying for the purpose of living here, there are some investors planning to rent out their unit through the management company.

The management office, now completed, will have permanent staff to take care of owners and tenants needs. It will be an amazing place to relax as well as enjoy refreshments in the small coffee corner overlooking the bay of Chaweng.

Phase 1 being now sold out, Phase 2 is now preparing to be launched end of December. The concept will remain the same, with 3 bedroom villas with great views. The plans are being designed at the moment and the villas will be slightly bigger than Phase 1.

Phase 2 will be located on a lower level than Phase 1, with easier access (though access for Phase 1 was already good) but still with stunning views over the famous Chaweng Bay and over the crystal blue waters to Koh Phangan.

Construction is expected to begin early 2016.

W

hen you think about your dream life, what does it look like? There's a good chance it involves lazing your days away on the beach -- on your own private island perhaps -- complete with a mansion, staff and, oh, not a care in the world.

Koh Samui, though is an absolutely amazingly beautiful tropical island though it’s certainly not a private island but then again it has many more advantages. Fantastic modern amenities including ultra modern shopping centers and world-class restaurants, European standard medical facilities, cinemas, bowling alleys and just about everything you need to forget about missing home. In fact we believe as has happened by many before you that very soon this small Island of 240SQ KM will take a grip on your soul and life without it will just be unthinkable or even impossible anymore.

This love for Koh Samui that takes you by storm was also the starting point of Kandana Villas. A small group of people successful and happy in life in their own countries fell in love with this island and decided to make it their home.

Working and living on Samui are like positive and negative battery terminals. They go together but need to be apart and the team at Kandana have done both of these without letting any side down. Kandana Villas have been built with quality in mind, ensuring your Samui villa will last the test of time.

Samui is a remarkable and breathtaking island but it is tropical, which means heavy rainstorms will batter your homes in rain season and feel the full heat of the sun each and everyday. The sun, which is what we are all seeking, can have a huge detrimental effect on anything that has been built. The Kandana team knows all of this and have chosen both builders with the correct knowledge and high-class materials to stand the test of time. Located in Maenam, Kandana Villas are situated only 5 minutes from the internationally famous Santiburi Golf Course, making it a great investment as a rental opportunity for golf packages. Kandana pride themselves in delivering high quality bespoke solutions and to provide excellent customer service. They will go that extra mile to make the experience as easy, enjoyable and stress-free as possible for clients.

Green roofs, roofs from recycled materials High quality and low price Lightweight and more durable than conventional roof tiles.

Due to its lightweight it does not require heavy and expensive structures that support the roof.

Green roofs dispel water and heat. Does not absorb sunlight and reducing heat saves energy.

Free from fungus.

Simple repair (using heat welding).

The process of producing green roof with recycled beverage cartons.

- The first step is to separate and remove the pulp out first with water and centrifugation.

A

green roof is a roofing sheet material made from waste materials of leading beverage cartons, which are recycled in our house.

They can be used beverage cartons of all kinds, whether milk carton or boxes, green tea, juice boxes, etc.

The project was initiated the green roof project by the Princess Pa Foundation. The purpose is to decrease the amount of waste by using waste materials such as beverage cartons, which are then recycled and made into roofing plates to help victims of natural disasters. About 2000 beverage cartons or boxes are used to produce one roofing sheet measuring 0.90 x 2.40 meters. On average a home would need about 35 plates.

These would sell for around 350-400 baht per plate. So one home would be about 12,000-14,000 baht, which is more economical than the standard roof.

128

samui phangan real estate

- The plastic and foil rest can be shredded into small pieces. These are then sprinkled on the plate to form the desired thickness.

- The plates are hot pressed in a machine at a temperature of about 160 degrees Celsius or more. The melting plastic mix is then put into the plastic cold milling machines.

- No use of glue or other chemicals in the production process.

- Can make lap steel roofing as well as tile-shaped roof and produces a sheet size of 0.90 x 2.40 meters.

- Machines are now installing. It is estimated that each plate will cost 350 - 400 baht, depending on the amount produced each month and the number of orders.

Building

with security & safety Palm Construction is a bespoke specialized construction company that offers clients a wealth of building experience (over 10 years on Samui) as well as a one-stop shop for all things to do with construction and building needs.

That said we have more strings to our bow than just construction, we are able to offer our clients advice on purchasing and selling land, buying and selling existing villas, financing on construction as well as general advice garnered from years on the island, learning the hard way what not to do when it comes to property and construction deals!

Primarily we started out as a developer, concentrating on our own project which consists of 16 villas of varying size, but we have worked at a number of top 5 star hotels on the island carrying out renovations and enhancements to existing buildings as well as work for private clients remedying inherent problems with their properties left over from previous companies shortcomings.

This work is regrettably all too readily available on the island and is a sad indictment of the level and quality of construction that has gone on in years past.

132

samui phangan real estate

At Palm we pride ourselves on our attention to detail and the quality aspect of building, we offer a two year guarantee on all our work as well as a 10 year structural guarantee on any new construction we undertake. We have been active on the island for over 10 years and have many happy clients who can endorse our commitment to doing the job right and more importantly being responsible for coming back should remedial works be needed, this is something that is lacking here and something a lot of people will have sadly experienced with their properties.

We don’t just work on repairs and rectifying past building mistakes, we also construct private villas for customers, working alongside them to ensure they achieve the end product they have dreamed about and also making sure this is achieved within the budget they have to work with. All too often designs and additions are left to run away and whilst some things may seem inexpensive, they can soon add up, leaving a ballooning figure for the client to deal with at the back end of construction. At Palm our contracts are agreed up front and payments are made against stages after they are completed, not before. Any extras requested are quoted, agreed and signed off prior to being done so there are no nasty surprises afterwards.

We always look to innovate and use the latest products and systems to achieve an unparalleled product, things like water collection systems are a standard feature within our construction as we believe we should make the most of the natural resources offered to us so our clients not only benefit financially from savings on utilities but also help protect the environment on our island. Every project we undertake we always look at ways to improve our construction techniques and pass on the benefits of this to our clients, this may be invisible to the naked eye and be something as simple as wall insulation to assist in keeping a villa cool, or treating gypsum with termite treatment to stop infestation later (an all too common problem here). Other improvements like using energy efficient air conditioning reverse cycle hot water heating and low energy LED lights aren’t immediately obvious at first glance but at Palm we ensure all these features are used to the best advantage of our client as standard. All of our electrical and plumbing works are carried out by fully qualified Western trades people as this is a vital area of construction that can have a detrimental impact on a villa if done incorrectly or cheaply in the first place, so at Palm we do it right the first time.

We believe in being honest and open with clients and will point out potential pitfalls with customers plans or an overall deal because we know too well this will only compound in the future, if this means someone doesn’t end up building with us, then so be it, as long as we have done our part to steer clients down the best route to achieve a successful outcome we are happy. At the end of the day it is up to the client to choose the builder and we believe that at Palm you get what you pay for, quality construction, guarantees that mean something and continued support not just before and during construction but also for years after, don’t just take our word for it listen to what our clients have had to say about us.

Paul & Anja Bjorkman (Sabai Thani) The quality of the professional services as well as of the finalized construction works of Kurt Meerveld’s Palm Construction is outstanding.

Although Palm Construction is not the original constructor of Sabai Thani villa 6, Palm has taken over and finalized where others have failed or by mistake produced poor quality.

Gunter Kring (Bangrak Villa) We are very pleased with the performance and responsiveness of the Company and its management, and the professionalism of its staff. In specific we are impressed with the competitiveness of the Company in view of the outstanding quality of the works performed.

The Company has shown exceptional flexibility in developing and implementing customized construction solutions.

We can highly recommend the Company as a reliable partner."

Angthong Sunset Villas

LIVING IN KOH SAMUI

Koh Samui’s enduring appeal as one of the world’s top holiday destinations has inspired many people to relocate to the island, either choosing to make it their permanent home or spending extended amounts of time living what those in less blessed locations would understandably consider an idyllic lifestyle.

In the last ten years, the island has developed into a full service destination and the range of facilities, amenities and services has therefore expanded considerably, making Samui one of very few places in the world where you can literally choose your preferences, both in terms of the way you pass your days and nights and also the amount of money you want to spend.

Although the island’s tourist and residential worlds often collide, they can also be very distinctive. But in terms of choice, both groups benefit from the island’s incredibly diverse and eclectic offerings, whether in terms of accommodation, retail, dining, entertainment, health or adventure. As a long term resident on Samui,

if you stop to consider the sheer extent of comfort and convenience on offer around the island today it’s sometimes difficult to remember that you are living on a small island in the Gulf of Thailand. As soon as you leave the beach you are spoilt for choice - shopping malls such as Tesco Lotus and Big C stock all the daily necessities and more, specialist outlets like Tops Supermarket and Villa in Lamai offer indulgent imported goods, while 7Elevens, Family Mart outlets and local shops make impulse buying a an easy option, even at 4 in the morning. A selection of fresh food markets also cater to an ever growing Thai community with everything from rice by the kilo to fresh Tiger Prawns sold by the kilo at what are very reasonable prices when compared to the deli counters of most western supermarkets.

For those who prefer to dine out, Samui has developed a deserved reputation a s gourmet paradise with an enviable choice of restaurants, their menus often created by chef’s of international repute and wine lists

that rival those in some of the world’s top city bistros.

Excellent Thai food is also readily enjoyed, either roadside at one of the island’s many affordable local eateries or in more opulent surroundings accompanied by five star service and stylised, cultural designs and entertainment.

class food and beverage choices in chic poolside surroundings. They also host regular parties with international DJs and performers. Western style pubs and nightclubs line the popular tourist strips, with sports bars like The Islander and Bondi in Chaweng showing live international sporting events.

The Samui party scene has also developed in leaps and bounds in the last few years, sophisticated Beach Clubs like Beach republic and Nikki Beach serve top

Those in search of a more healthy, green lifestyle on Samui can easily avoid the tourist bustle. The quiet beaches on the island’s south coast still feel relatively untouched by development and many small residential communities have emerged in places like Baan taling Ngam and Lip Noi, where the pace of life is slow and the tropical landscape still untroubled by crowds and commerce. Spas and wellness centres offer a wide range of treatments and therapies to rejuvenate tired souls, while yoga, meditation and other more spiritually inspired activities can be studied and practiced at various centres around the island.

Families are increasingly well catered for on Samui and the island now boasts its very own International School (ISS), as well as several other learning institutions catering to to both Thai and expatriate students.

The island’s clubs and organisations often organise family friendly gatherings, regular Walking Streets offer festival style outings and there are also several restaurants that cater for children’s parties.

With so much on offer to residents, Samui has now become as much a place to live as it is a place to visit. It is now a multi-faceted residential island with an enviable range of services and facilities to choose from, all of which combine to offer permanent and long stay‘Samuians' one of the most appealing and diverse tropical lifestyle experiences on the planet.

LIVING IN KOH PHANGAN

Stunning beaches, an affordable lifestyle and an appealing island environment have drawn a growing number of visitors and residents to Koh Phangan’s tropical shores. Many of the island’s visitors choose to stay longer than they originally planned and this has led to the establishment of a sizeable foreign community of long stay tourists, working residents, business owners and retirees. The number of foreign investors choosing Koh Phangan as their second home is increasing every year, with easy transport access, a fast developing infrastructure and a range of lifestyle and hospitality services all adding to the island’s growing appeal.

Koh Phangan is a rare island escape just a short boat ride from Koh Samui’s more developed and commercial environment. This means residents and visitors can enjoy the unspoiled beauty of some of Thailand’s finest beaches while still having access to the comforts and benefits of a modern lifestyle. The recent growth in the number of luxury hotels and private villas on the island has prompted the emergence of more upmarket retail, dining and entertainment choices, with cool nightspots

and restaurants opening in the more popular beaches like Haad Rin and Thong Nai Pan. As Koh Phangan evolves from a backpacker haven in to a full service destination, the island is attracting those with the spending power to combine natural escape with a sophisticated island lifestyle.

The Thai government and its tourism authority has long been promoting Koh Phangan as an eco-destination in order to transform the island’s reputation from party venue to tropical escape, promoting Koh Phangan’s natural beauty and untainted environment to the world.

Eco-adventures and marine based activities are widely available to visitors and residents with mountain biking, diving, wake boarding and jungle treks all on offer to encourage a more sensitive approach to island life that also minimises the impact on the island’s ecosystem.

On a practical level, the opening of a modest Tesco Lotus Supermarket, combined with a significant increase in the number of foreign run businesses has had a real impact in terms on the ease of living

on Koh Phangan. Designer boutiques, international cuisine, real estate agents and developers are all gradually changing the island landscape, yet the laid back lifestyle has thus far survived and the local people are known for their commitment to preserving their traditional culture. Whether selling the daily catch from their boats, chatting with friends in the shade of

the village ‘sala’ or celebrating weddings with dances and local music, local people remain distinctively Thai in many ways. As for the foreign residents, the ease of life, natural beauty and diversity of lifestyle choices make Koh Phangan a unique destination as either a permanent or second home.

REAL ESTATE On KOH PHANGAN Koh Phangan’s real estate sector has grown as the island has developed and become more popular with visitors from around the world. Investment opportunities abound, whether it is raw beach and mountain land, off plan residential purchases or completed luxury villas for sale. Prices are considerably lower than they are on Koh Samui, which often attracts adventurous investors looking for an affordable slice of paradise. Restrictive ownership laws in Thailand, however, mean buyers are advised to go through reputable law firms when considering any purchases on Koh Phangan. As is the case on Koh Samui or Phuket, it is important for anyone considering an investment to thoroughly research the laws and regulations, as well as to ensure that any land titles are thoroughly checked and that the most secure method of purchase is found to guarantee a trouble free, long-term investment. It is advisable to research construction firms employed to guarantee that their reputation is solid and that any previous projects have been successfully completed.

the legal arena l land title deeds

LAND TITLE DEEDS IN THAILAND There are two main types of land ownership in Thailand which we should explain

RIGHTS OF POSSESSION Firstly there is the right of possession, for example, land that has been used by a family for generations to the benefit of the land and they have possession rights of the land under the civil and commercial code. Such titles are Sor Kor 1,Tor Bor 5 , 6 or Sor Por Gor 4. These titles basically are only family possession rights and generally only used for farming. These titles can not be bought or sold and no building rights or legal acts would be allowed on the land. I do know of cases where families being in possession of certain pieces of land for generations have been able to upgrade them to regular land title deeds but this is not generally the case and any serious investor would not normally give any credibility to these titles of possession.

RIGHTS OF OWNERSHIP Usually we are looking for land title deeds giving right of ownership not possession. Here there are basically three title deeds:- Chanote, Nor Sor 3 and Nor Sor 3 Gor. The most sought after titles are the Chanote and the Nor Sor 3 Gor as both these titles have legal documents of Rights of Ownership and can be sub-divided into smaller plots and planning permission and any such legal acts can be carried out immediately on the land.The only difference with the Nor Sor 3 is that although legal documents are issued for the land it has not been accurately surveyed which can lead to problems in verifying actual land area. And if any legal act is to take place on this land it must be published for at least 30 days.

As we have been saying all the way through if it is not clear 100%, seek the advice of a legal professional in this field, as there are also many other issues that are important to consider such as servitude, access and rights of way.

LAND MEASUREMENT & SURVEY Land in Thailand is measured in Rai, Ngan and Talang Wah. • 1 Wah= 4 sqm • 1 Ngan= 100 Wah or 400 sqm • 4 Ngan= 1 Rai or 1600 sqm In comparison to Western Standards: • 2.50 Rai= 1 Acre • 6.25 Rai= 1 Hectare

TIPS FOR STARTING A NEW BUSINESS Are you planning to start your own business for the first time in Thailand? If so, we hope this useful information will help put your business on the right track.

The simplest and easiest sort of company for foreigners to form with a small business is a Thai Limited Company.

In Thailand, a Limited Company is a company with up to 100 shareholders, who share the same business purpose and is formed with a Capital divided into equal shares.

GETTING STARTED To set up a company, you must first have the memorandum that can be acquired at the registration office. To properly register, you are required to provide the authorities with details of your company and list a minimum of three shareholders (who can either be Thai or foreign nationals or both). At least seven days after you first approach the department, you can call a shareholder’s meeting to reach an agreement on the purpose of your business and set up the company’s operational rules.

Having agreed on the purpose of your business, you can then apply for business registration at the same department. If you cannot agree on company rules, you can refer to those stated in the Civil and Commercial Code’s partnership and companies section.

SHARES Besides the issues of business registration, you must also make sure that your company’s shares are worth no less than 5 baht each. These shares can be transferred or even sold if the company has no regulations on this matter.

Every shareholder must be given a share certificate, a document that guarantees their status as a shareholder.

Should anyone wish to transfer their shares to another party; they have to fill in the share transfer form that confirms the deal between the transferor and transferee.

The company also has to have in its possession a register of shareholders that contains a record of all the company’s shareholders. The book is evidence that will identify the company’s shareholders.

SHAREHOLDERS AND CHAIRPERSON A Limited Company’s shareholders can be either Thai or foreign nationals or both, but the percentage of shares held by foreign national plays a significant role in determining the nationality of your company, which may impose serious limitations on the company’s rights, such as landownership.

If less than 49% of your company’s shares are held by foreigners, your company is considered a Thai company.

154

samui phangan real estate

However, if foreign nationals hold more than 49% of the shares, your company is a foreign company.

The significant differences between Thai and foreign companies operating in Thailand lie in their rights to buy and own properties or other businesses. It is therefore important, especially for those in real estate and development businesses, to know and remember that unless your company is Thai, you are restricted in the ability to possess and obtain land and property in this country without an exemption granted by the government.

Foreign companies are also restricted to certain activities and to proceed with certain operations the company will have to apply for permission from the government. In such instances, applications will be considered case by case. They will also face tough scrutiny and strict restrictions on their right to operate and ability to run their business. These companies will be treated in the same way as foreign nationals seeking jobs in Thailand.

If you are registered as a Thai company, you are automatically granted the right to purchase and own properties and other business and will be treated the same way as a Thai citizen. However, according to new legislation that has recently come into effect, the Land Department’s staff are now required to thoroughly investigate your Thai shareholders’ sources of income. Thai shareholders in a company wishing to purchase properties in Thailand have to declare their income and provide the authorities with evidence that proves their ability to co-invest with other foreign shareholders in the same company. Only those successful in convincing the authorities are granted the right to purchase and possess land. Companies with approval from the Land Department can then proceed with their applications for land title deeds or other certificates of use and possession.

LITTLE THINGS THAT MATTER A company limited has to have its own board of directors to act on behalf of the company. This panel will, however, act under the regulations and agreements approved by the shareholders. Appointing directors or removing any of them requires shareholders approval.

At the end of the company’s financial year, within five months, it shall be the duty of the company to present the balance sheet to the Department of Business Development (DBD). If your company fails to present the balance sheet, the company will be fined up to 50,000 baht and the company’s board of directors may also be fined up to 50,000 baht. If the committee refuses to pay the fine, the police can appeal to the court for a warrant and file a lawsuit against the resilient parties. Withdrawal of the company’s business registration is also another penalty the company may face, should they not provide the authorities with the necessary statement.

realty in focus l villa rentals

V

illa rental is fast becoming the preferred holiday accommodation option for a vast majority of vacationers to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.

Renting a villa as a family or group of friends can prove far more economical in the long run than hotel accommodation and can afford you the luxury and privacy you seek on a holiday without breaking the bank.

For longer term lets, there is a multitude of options from private owners to agent lets ranging from basic to 6 star luxury – all you need to do is spend some time finding the right villa for your long-term living needs.

Holiday villas are generally fully furnished and include a full western kitchen with appliances, towels and bed linens, water and electricity and will normally include a maid service who will come once or more a week to change linen and tidy the villa, as well as a maintenance person to take care of the gardens and pool if included.

There are a host of other optional services on offer such as a private chef, babysitting, pre-arrival shopping, laundry, driver or car hire, butler, island tours, personal training, massage and spa treatments, Thai cooking lessons...simply do your research and ask lots of questions when selecting your villa to see what is available to you during your stay.

If booking your villa from outside of Thailand, it may be wise to use one of the more established

168

samui phangan real estate

and recognised agents to ensure you are getting what you pay for. While it may seem cheaper to go directly through the home-owner, agencies usually have representatives in Samui and Phangan who can advocate on your behalf. That can include minor repairs or even moving you to another property if you’re not satisfied with your original choice. That’s something that the owner can’t help you with.

Prices can vary greatly depending on the location of the villa (closer to the beach or beach-front means you will pay for the access and view!), the size/bedroom numbers, the facilities, services and the standard of the villa - with several levels of luxury available! There are hundreds of villas available on the islands starting from basic, mid-level, luxury and beyond – it’s truly reliant on your budget and your requirements - either way, you will not be stuck for choice.

Generally a deposit of 50% or more is required to secure the villa of your choice prior to your holiday and the remainder paid in full upon arrival, this may vary from agent to agent. Read the rental agreement very carefully to make sure you understand what’s provided as well as any and all conditions, exclusions, inclusions, costs and penalties.

When you decide on the ideal holiday villa to suit your needs, you can relish in the fact that you will enjoy privacy, space and of course the beautiful tropical surrounds of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. Happy holidaying!
