Thailand is situated in a part of the world known as South East Asia. This area is now more commonly known as the ASEAN group of countries. The ASEAN group mandate is to improve trade and investments in such areas as manufacturing, commerce, investments, tourism and promoting the real estate market. The nine countries in the ASEAN group are Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. The country we will be focusing on and giving you general information on is Thailand and its tourist destination of Phuket.
Thailand is bordered by five countries. These are Myanmar, Lao PDR, Cambodia, Vietnam and Malaysia. Thailand has a population over just over sixty five million people and occupies a territory of five hundred and fourteen square kilometers, which spreads from traditional capital of the north, Changmai, with its history and its temples, to the more touristy areas of Phuket in the South.
The main religion of Thailand is Thai Buddhism with ninety five percent of the country practicing it and the remaining five percent being made up by the Muslim population .
The weather in Thailand is generally hot or wet or both and the average temperature will generally be between twenty and forty degrees. The north tends to be more mountainous and hilly and obviously the south, on the coast is more flat and has numerous picture postcard beaches in such areas as Phuket and Koh Samui. With such fantastic weather Thailand attracts over one million two hundred thousand tourists a year from all over the globe. The majority tend to visit the south of the county and go to areas such as Hua Hin and the beautiful tropical islands of Koh Samui and Phuket. Changmai is still on the back-packers trail and they tend to use this as a launching pad to organize a trip over to Cambodia.
The tourism market in Thailand makes up fifteen percent of the Gross Domestic Product and over five hundred and fifty thousand people are said to been employed directly or in directly in the tourism industry and other associated industries in such areas as Bangkok, Koh Samui and Phuket.
Bangkok has a population of around ten million people and is the capital of Thailand and there are quite a few important historical places to see in the city. Most holiday makers will stay a few days and visit places like the Kings Palace, the floating market, the numerous temples and maybe have a night out in Koa San Road before jetting off to Phuket or Koh Samui for some sea, sun and some fun or indeed just to relax on pristine beaches.
Koh Samui has around fifty thousand inhabitants, and you can catch a direct flight from Bangkok. Phuket has a population of around one hundred thousand and you can get to Phuket by direct flights from Bangkok, or take a coach if you would like to see some of the countryside although you should be aware that the journey takes about fifteen hours.
Phuket is approximately the same size as Singapore and has a huge range of activities and accommodation for the holiday maker. There is diving, water skiing, kite boarding, surfing, jungle trekking, snorkelling, tours, go carting, shooting, tiger temples, crocodile farms........basically every thing you need to have a fun day out in the sun. If you want to just relax there is a wonderful selection of beaches such as Surin Beach, Kata, Beach and Karon Beach to name just a few.
During the night is when Phuket has earned is reputation as one of the premier holiday vacation destinations in the world, because there is a whole range of entertainment activities.
There is the madness and intensity of the world famous Bangla Road, in Patong, with all its bars and clubs. There are cabaret shows and live music venues, and as for dinning, Phuket has some of the finest restaurants in the world. Every taste and taste bud is catered for whether you want to eat Thai style or a fusion of East and West flavours, or alternatively you can eat something that you are more familiar with. One thing is sure, that quality restaurants can be found all over the island and the service and atmosphere you will find is fantastic. In addition, some have locations and views which are spectacular and very romantic.
As for accommodation, Phuket has a wide selection of accommodation available. Phuket is still on the back-packers trail and has some budget guest houses and rooms which can be used for those on a tight budget. Conversely, there are world famous hotels located in Phuket such as The Marriott , The Renaissance and The Banyan Tree just to name a few. These offer a truly five star service and accommodation facilities and are set in the most stunning locations on the island. There is also a wide selection of high end condominiums and villas to rent, which also have great locations and many are serviced and managed in condo-hotel format. This means you still have great service and facilities such as room service and management services, but the atmosphere is not so formal and you can treat these types of accommodation as a second home while you are staying there on your holiday. Price will range on the type of accommodation you require and what part of the island of Phuket you wish to stay on.
For all of the reasons mentioned earlier, and more, Phuket has become a popular place to own a second home for vacation purposes, or to buy as a direct investment and take advantage of the tourist industry and the amount of holidaymakers seeking quality places to stay whilst visiting Phuket. On average over the last five years we have seen a rise in capital appreciation in property of ten percent and with rental yield sitting between seven and ten percent per year it all adds up to be a solid investment or lifestyle decision.
