Nate as of “ pooh pooing” from far away I would suggest posters leave their various paradises and come take a look now rather than rely on ads by estate agents s.
I live here and I’m amazed at the amount of new construction amd renovations underway at the moment. Started only on the last four to 6 months mostly “ up
on the hills” ( around Banyan) but also plenty of others out at Hin Lek Fai, someone knows something about increased demand.
when Bangkok went into lockdown Hua Hin offered a weekend getaway, the flocked down every weekend - easily noticeable because during Covid the weekdays were traffic free indeed. So they tried it, liked it, and started buying land and building EVEN during this record high price steel and concrete period! It’s a great place to stay, I also know that Pattaya has the same kind of opportunities in places , but rightly or wrongly it’s reputation isn’t the best and may be putting the aristocrats off? I just hope Hua Hin doesn’t get changed into something more commercial.
