The southern Thai property boom is largely fuelled by cashed up foreign investors, confident that the Thai beach scene will remain attractive for many years to come. In coastal areas, everybody seems to be selling property, and selling the dream of tropical paradise. Foreign land speculation is rampant.
It might be an idea to brush up on your Russian, if you are looking to buy this particular plot of land.

As a Southern Thai, I am still untouched by Russian and live a very normal life. But I indeed worry about my compatriots who are ready to sell anything to visitors from afar, including their very soul.
