Khanom

Khanom, a charming village located on the northeast coast of Southern Thailand, just 15 kilometers off the southern tip of Koh Samui, is rapidly becoming a new hotspot for land and real estate investment. Miraculously, it has missed out on the worst aspects of over-development that have blighted other locations in the region and enjoys the best beaches and natural attractions to be found anywhere in Thailand.

A beautiful 800-year-old community where the main sources of income are still the traditional ones such as fishing, rubber and coconut plantations, Khanom has successfully retained its natural beauty and gentle way of life. The local fishermen still use the same type of small, brightly coloured boats that their ancestors did to bring in the daily catch that is then enjoyed in the local restaurants and hotels that are just beginning to appear.

The 10 kilometer strip of truly pristine palm laden beachfront is just perfect for snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing and other water sports (the locals even play beach golf when the tides are low!). It is even common to see pink dolphins swimming just of the coast. Khanom is also ideally situated for visits to other amazing natural features such as the famous Kao Wang Thong Caves - a huge maze of caverns exquisitely decorated by millions of years of erosion.

Mother Nature isn’t the only one who can create a spectacle; Khanom’s own ancient temple to Buddha, Wat Kradangnga, is a man made wonder.

This really is an exceptional real estate investment opportunity, in terms of capital growth from land acquisition and prime real estate for up-market resort and villa development. A number of quality resorts already prevail, and a five star hotel is now being developed. Khanom also enjoys great transport links, being only a 45 minute drive from Nakonsitamarat or Suratthani (these cities are only a very short flight from Bangkok), or approximately 15 kilometers by boat from south Koh Samui. The area also has excellent infrastructure and the 10 kilometer beach has three phase electricity, fiber optics and mains water along its entire length.
