Joetys,
Is it true foreigner are allow to own only 49% not 51% any biz with Thai partner, has an offer send to me for a Resort in Kho Samui, asking price is around THB 420 million land is freehold, land size is around 0.6 hectare.
Thanks for the insight on Thai govt foreigner investment policy in advance......
Hey buddy, it is true that foreigners cannot be majority owner of anything. As for land, foreigners cannot even own 1 sqcm let along 49%. But a company with foreign shareholders can own land for business purpose however the business cannot have foreigner being the majority (in the first place no company can unless for special reason). Also any company that has foreigner as shareholder regardless of percentage is not allowed to seek financial help from banks in Thailand so everything has to be funded from overseas or the Thai partner(s) who may have his own financial facilities from local banks.
By the way almost all land in Thailand is freehold.
chucky, I am not familiar with resort investments so I am not able to help you here. However what I could do is give you an idea of land cost in Bangkok and I hope it will help you somehow.
Commercial land in downtown like Sukhumvit/Sathorn/Silom is anyone's guess because not much is available now and so if its available the prices could be vary a lot from the last land sale price. But I could give you an idea of the commercial land price in he Ratchayothin area which is also a very busy area north of Bangkok. If traffic is smooth its only 15 mins drive to downtown. (Ratchayothin is a junction between two major roads, Ratchada and Paholyothin this is a highly sought after commercial and condo residential area.)
0.6hectre = 6,000 sqm = 3.75 rai = 1,500 sqwa
Cost of 0.6 hectre = 460mil baht => 1 sqwa = 280,000 baht
Past two days I asked around and found out that prices there ranges from 150,000 to 250,000 baht per sqwa.
The above prices I gave you is only land and no building but then very often a developer will not care about the building as they will tear it down.
If I look at your information plainly, I will of course say the cost of 280,000 baht per sqwa is very high and after all its in a remote island however its not a fair comparison as you are talking about buying over a business.
I believe you have your way in making your business decision while I hope my info can be of a small help to you.
Went to a very interesting place for tze-char dinner tonight, resembles a typical hawker centre above a market.
This is the name of the stall
On the 3rd floor of this building (2nd floor is a wet market)
No beer glasses, for beer they give you this
This is sooooo sweeeeet, eaten cold
This tomatoes from Hangzhou is marinated with a very nice sauce (eaten cold too)
French loaf toasted with pork on top
Deep fried pig throttles with special sauce
梅菜蒸猪颈肉荷叶糯米饭 (Mui Chye pork neck with glutinous rice baked in lotus leaf)
here, you can see the rice
Salted fish pork fried
Eaten like a butger
Cheese broccoli
Pig stomach vongole soup
This is the crowd, this place need to book. I saw many couples join tables with others
Drop off at 北角 MTR station and exit at A1 look at your 10 o'clock opposite the street you will see the building.

Joe did you go to causeway bay? How about LAN Kwai fong?
Was at Causeway Bay for dinner on New Years Day near Time's Square in a very good Cantonese Restaurant 新斗记 which is a Micheline listed restaurant. It was really good and inexpensive.
Will be going to the Peak this evening for some photo taking tonight then will come down to Lan Kwai Fong area for dinner and some drinks. I don't particularly favour this place because I prefer the normal Cantonese food while in Hong Kong. During my 1 year posting here in the past I rarely go to LKF for any meal.
Past 5 mornings with Thai partner and family so every morning breakfast in hotel restaurant dimsum. Yesterday they all gone back I now have change to eat where all Hongkongers have their simple breakfast.
Having this now
Ourside this shop
Along a side lane

After breakfast went to a street wet market along Reclamation Road, love to do this in every city.
Saw an Indian provision shop selling many imported stuff from India and Pakistan
No longer can see this in Singapore anymore
Fresh seafood also cannot see this in Singapore
Spent a lot at this stall buying dry scallops, oysters, sea cucumber etc etc for myself and family members in Singapore.
To top off my morning marketing had a small pot of salted fish minced pork rice. HEAVENLY!

On small weenies, even birds fail to land :p
HK has this mix of old charm, contrast with modern concrete. Market scene in every place is interesting and good window to appreciate local culture.
joetys, excellent original pics of the real world.
