WOW PROPERTIES REAL ESTATE AGENCY: KOH PHANGAN, THAILAND

We are a real estate agency on the island of Koh Phangan, Thailand. We specialize in Koh Phangan land sales for investment appreciation, development and personal use, and also sell vacation homes, commercial properties and the occasional resort.

We also have numerous listings for Thung Wua Laen Beach and vicinity, near Chumphon on the mainland. and for Koh Tao. Thung Wua Laen offers beautiful beachfront properties at far lower prices than corresponding island properties.

Our distinguishing characteristic is that through our mix of partners we have combined Western business ethics and client service, with Thai land sourcing expertise and relationships.

Koh Phangan:


Situated in the Gulf of Thailand, 30 minutes by express ferry from the holiday island of Koh Samui, its little sister Koh Phangan offers a natural tropical setting: coconut trees on white sand beaches, a crystal clear sea, colorful coral reefs, spectacular waterfalls, green jungle and unspoiled mountains.

Koh Phangan has a land area of 193 km² with a permanent population of about 15,000. Benefiting from good weather most of the year round, the island provides a wide variety of activities (including swimming, snorkeling and diving; fishing, sailing and surfing; hiking, mountain biking and motorcycling; yoga and spas) to create a special island experience.

Koh Phangan is increasingly attracting higher quality development, and its real estate prices have been rising strongly in recent years. Nevertheless, Koh Phangan's land prices are still low relative to Koh Samui and other vacation locales, providing in our view significant appreciation potential.


Thung Wae Laen Beach and Chumphon:

Thung Wae Laen Beach is an "excellent beach with a superb hotel" (Fodor's) that is a "growing resort and diving area" (Frommer's). In addition to the beach and sea, there are spectacular corals at nearby reefs and the island dotted waters make for exciting sailing.

Chumphon is a town of 50,000 with friendly people, that is a transportation hub and a departure point for Koh Tao. It has an attractive evening market, and offers white water rafting and jungle excursions.

Koh Tao:

Koh Tao is a beautiful island and a diving center. Land ownership and use in Koh Tao is subject to significant restrictions.

Our Firm:

Our firm has Thai and Western founding partners and personnel.

Most customers that have looked around Koh Phangan and then visit us, are impressed by the variety, quality and low price of our offerings, and by our level of service, and if they are buying they typically purchase from us.

A case in point is our Western partner, who after extensive comparison shopping bought all of his parcels through our Thai partner, who at the time was an independent agent. The partners subsequently joined forces to establish Wow Properties.

More on what makes our service distinctive and on our partners' backgrounds, can be seen in the Who We Are tab of this web site.

 

Legal Support:

To help our buying clients achieve smooth transaction execution, we help ensure that land titles are clear of encumbrances, that we are dealing with the actual owners, and that the land is not located on park land. At the end of each sale we help change the land registration title to the new owner's name. We work with both the leading law firms of Koh Phangan and of Koh Samui. The former provide very responsive turn around times at highly competitive rates. The latter provide the additional comfort that comes from dealing with larger, better established, professional law firms.
