The Krabi Development Story

Krabi is a beautiful province in the south of Thailand, known for its spectacular scenery, tropical islands and fantastic leisure activities.

It is currently in the throws of an active boom period with record numbers of visitors arriving at his famous beaches and resorts. Krabi boasts some of the best holiday accommodation in Thailand, offering stunning Krabi vacation villas, exceptional holiday resorts and world class hotels. With such an increase in the volume of tourists however, Krabi has had to build new holiday homes at a ferocious pace. Four new Krabi hotels and resorts are already underway including the Mercure Krabi Deevana and the Ibis Krabi in the Krabi resort of Ao Nang, the Beyond Resort Krabi in Klong Muang and the Centara Grand Lanta Island resort in Koh Lanta.

And as the property market in Thailand continues to attract hungry investors from around the world, so development in this much sought after province is also turning its attention to residential property. Krabi is about to benefit from two exciting, high profile projects that are certain to attract serious investment interest and boost an already thriving local economy.

Royal Krabi Marina – Living the Dream

The first of these is the spectacular Royal Krabi Marina, located at Long Beach in the Nua Klong district, just twenty minutes from Krabi international airport. This luxury beachfront development will tempt prospective buyers with a choice of high spec Krabi condominiums or sumptuous villas, with an option of joining the rental pool for those that want to take full advantage of the lucrative Krabi holiday market. Those opting to live in their unique, off plan property, can benefit from convenient services such as cleaning, maintenance and housekeeping, all for a relatively small fee. These iconic properties are designed by talented Krabi architects and built to exacting standards, allowing the possibility to live in a truly marine environment, in one of the most breathtaking areas in the world.

Attractively priced, these outstanding and highly desirable residential properties with their own private mooring facilities and nearby golf course are not likely to stay on the Krabi property market for long!

Krabi Port Takola – the Arrival of the Super Yacht

Another sensational Krabi development scheduled to complete at the end of 2012 is the Port Takola marina, located 30 nautical miles east of Phuket. It will serve as a gateway to the beautiful archipelago of Krabi and Phang Nga Bay and provide an ideal solution for those wishing to explore the islands of Krabi by boat. It will offer fuel, power and water and a convenient stopover for the super yachts sailing from the overcrowded marinas of Phuket and is likely to encourage important new business to Krabi.

The Future of the Thai Property Market

Investors are calling ever more loudly on regulators to scrap some of the antiquated Thai property laws that are still capable of deterring all but the most tenacious of foreign investors. Thailand does not allow freehold ownership of land by non-natives, although there are a number of ways to get around this and legitimately purchase property in the country. If restrictions are lifted, then real estate in Thailand is likely to become an even better proposition than it already is, making now the perfect time to buy – remember, the early bird catches the worm!
