Hi Tracey. Thanks for the reply. This is my wife & I's first foreign purchase too. We went to see the development site last year before they broke ground, we met the developers and had a look at 2 previous projects which are now complete. We were a little worried before as the development was initially due for completion in June 2008. However we have just recieved photos showing the link bungalows at a fairly advanced stage of development so we feel more relaxed now. We're not over the moon that the club house facilities will not be ready by December. Are you renting your's out? If so are you handing it over to the management company to let on your behalf? Or is it solely for your own use? Are you leasing or forming a Thai Company? Keep in touch Tracey so we can continue to share our experiences. Regards. Lee

Hey Guys, I have also bought or laid a deposit, I have not paid any more as yet as things keep changing, I saw the land before being broke and have received pics, one thing I am confused on is the fact that there will be 182 dwellings and not around 100 as first detailed, I have not been informed of any changes etc. I was going to rent it out but the cost of the furnature package is only covered by the rent you get so you make no gain, so i think it is best to fit out my self. Let me know your thoughts..cheers chris
