Property Investment

If you live in the Hua-Hin/Cha-Am area for more than four or five months in any year and don't buy or build a property then you really need to talk to a financial adviser. Just look at the range of properties advertised in this magazine. They range in price from under 1 Million Baht to over 40 million Baht and you can tailor your property to suit your pocket.

It makes sense for property to be a part of every portfolio. Like any investment you hope to recoup a dividend by renting it (perhaps part time) and achieving capital growth as it appreciates or just enjoy the sheer pleasure of living in this area in your own place.

There is not yet a culture in Thailand , as there is in the West, of young marrieds buying a starter property and as the years go by moving up the scale. This is partly due to the tax system which doesn't encourage young people to get into the property market There are however enough farangs buying property in this area to eventually develop a healthy second hand market for private housing. It amazes many foreigners on their first visit to the Kingdom to realize they can purchase a beautiful detached home for less than the price of the cheapest BMW.

I saw an advertisement in today's “Bangkok Post” a company from Hong Kong advertising commercial land for sale in Spain with planning permission in what they call a “Prime Location”. You are encouraged as a private investor to buy a plot, sit back and wait for the profits. The land is secured by title deed and apparently you can build your own property and finish up with a holiday home in Spain .

They call it a “Land investment opportunity”. I have no reason to question the integrity of the company selling this land as I'm sure they are a straight up company.

All I am questioning is the practicality of investing like this in property abroad when if that is your wont there are, in my opinion, many better ways of doing it than buying directly.

Having made up your mind to buy a second home in Thailand and you still have money over, is it worthwhile investing in further property and what are the drawbacks?

The first advantage is that property investing is easily understood by the average person. You will nearly always be conscious of property values and the market lets you know what rent you can expect.

If you can borrow the money to buy then you are an absolute winner, as past experience shows, that geared property investing has outperformed equity investing over the years.

On the other hand cash equity investment has considerably and consistently outperformed property investment in the long term.

Besides performance the major downside is lack of liquidity. If you needed money urgently you may have to sell your property at a bad price.

Many offshore companies are aware of people's huge interest in property investment and like all good marketers they have come up with “property funds”

Look at just one example, the “Morgan Stanley Property Fund”. One of the largest asset managers in the world MS have in excess of Euro 474 Billion under management.

Their property fund invests in real estate securities rather than “bricks and mortar”.

Property securities enhance portfolio diversification, and provide the potential for increased returns and reduced volatility.

The performance of this fund over the past 5 years has been outstanding.

Morgan Stanley US property has returned 62.7% annualized 12.54%.

Morgan Stanley European property has returned 81.8% annualized 16.36%.

The US fund invested in three core sectors –residential - retail - office/industrial.

The European fund typically invests in securities of companies that invest in office and retail space.

This is an attractive investment and the best thing about it is the roof doesn't need to be retiled after a storm. Nor do you have any complaining tenants. The most important thing though after performance, is its liquidity. You can get your money quickly in an emergency.

As a footnote, buying property in Thailand has restrictions for foreigners. Please contact

MAG'S PAGE THE PINK PERSPECTIVE

Home Thoughts from Abroad? The UK Perspective?

Here goes...........

Not long after arriving back in England Him Indoors found a pound coin on the pavement. Clearly an omen of good luck. An opportunity to invest in what would undoubtedly bring untold fortunes - or at least the price of a years' overseas subscription to the Observer.

Yours Truly was despatched forthwith to buy the lottery ticket, one thing at least which has not been affected by inflation.

Having approached the triffid-like lottery sales point with confidence, Consumer Overkill immediately set in, along with the now familiar Glazed Expression.

It's not that I had expected to be able to choose a ticket with a full set of ready printed numbers. Oh no. I know that here you have complete freedom of choice with the number selection, and make little marks on a ticket to prove it. But 5 or 6 years ago there was one lottery draw per week. Now I was faced with not ONE type of ticket but at least 7 varieties,all neatly waiting in their little holders.

It was all too much. I fled to seek advice and re-training from a sympathetic old lottery hand - and no - don't ask.

Talking about one pound coins, the number of coins here defies belief doesn't it? Having used only 10, 5 and 1 Baht coins plus a smattering of Satang for so long, you find yourself suddenly coping, or not, with no less than 8 different denominations. Not only that but a 2 pence is bigger than a 10, and a 1 pence is bigger than a 5. It is difficult to resist the temptation to wrap 10 x 1 pence coins together in handy little sellotape parcels.

The next best thing is to prepare change for bus fares carefully in advance and dump the lot on the drivers, who seem far more amenable to changing 20 pound notes.

Generally speaking though the bus drivers in my area are a friendly and helpful crowd, which in itself came as a pleasant surprise. Maybe having those flash new single-decker buses helps. The things almost drive themselves, and even squat down to pavement level to allow easy access. Which is more than can be said for the dogs.

Decorating the Sois here with doggy-do's is of course illegal, and boxes for the collection of the offending material now litter the streets with more regularity than post boxes or telephone kiosks. Unfortunately for the dogs the collection boxes are on posts about 1.5 metres above street level.

No doubt whatever offending material manages to actually reach the boxes is re-cycled along with everything else imaginable, because, along with consumerism comes the need to dispose of packaging.

Re-cycling in the UK has become a fine art. Plastics, paper, metallics and cardboard must be separated before disposal. Not only that, but those plastic trays which once held your microwave prawn korma must be washed. So much for saving on dish washing by buying microwave meals!

I have yet to discover just WHY it is necessary to wash rubbish before throwing it away, other than the growing national bacteria hysteria.

Those of us of a certain age thrived on zillions of microscopic organisms which hadn't even been christened way back then. Now full scale war is waged on the little blighters. Supermarket shelves sag under a huge selection of anti-bacterial sprays, liquids and wipes for a range of surfaces. There is even a Dettol anti-bacterial air freshener.

Whether Proctor & Gamble et al will succeed with such products in the Thai market though seems doubtful. After all, ‘rat do' the messy cleaning jobs pretty well, and what they leave the ants dispose of.

And now for a change to our scheduled programming.

Well, it just had to happen. The imminent Royal wedding became a media circus eclipsing even the General Election.

A one hour long TV programme pretended to focus on Camillas' relationship with the Princes William and Harry in a thinly veiled Camillagate style expose - much of it stuff we have yawned through before.

Palace spin doctors worked overtime, and it's hardly surprising that HM seemed reluctant to make any comment at all, let alone attend the event.

Meanwhile the Great British Public seemed not to give two hoots either way, despite ongoing debate about the legality of the marriage, and future status of ‘Camilla de Ville'

Fortunately as always the post office produced the obligatory commemorative stamps on time, and without wishing to offend legions of Diana fans - very nice they are too. The second time around has produced images of a happy and content looking couple.

Good luck to them. Personally I think the lady is very brave to face all the flack, but hey - give us a break - whats the frock like?

Betel Nuts and Bullock Carts

– more travels in the Union of Myanmar to Yangon ,

Mandalay and Bagan by Mary Rogers

Part Two - please see the March edition for part one.

On the road once more, we travelled to Lake Taungthaman and the U Bein bridge. ‘U' means ‘Mister', an honourable term, and the bridge was built by Mr Bein, King Bodawpaya's mayor, from teak planks from Inwa when the capital was moved to Amarapura. The bridge has stood for over two centuries so it's rather rickety and wobbly and there are large gaps between some of the planks. It's over half a mile long and the traffic is heavy with many children going to and from school, vendors of jade, seed necklaces and water colours, endless beggars, women with loaded head baskets and cyclists, although these are not allowed to ride across and it's very difficult to get a bike through the barriers at the far end of the bridge.

The lake floods in the rainy season, but in the dry season the water drains away leaving soil so rich and fertile no artificial fertilisers are needed to grow myriad crops. Ground nuts are planted under corn, countless vegetables are planted, flocks of geese are farmed, but fishing is illegal as the government owns all the fish in the lake and catches it for export.

It is the most magnificent place, no mechanisation, no cars, no noise, just people living in harmony with nature. The lake was at about half flood, with drained land for farming and plenty of water for the flocks of geese. We watched, fascinated, at seeing them being herded to safety at the end of the day. Farmers were ploughing fields with oxen yoked to wooden poles with strong wooden teeth. The farmers stood on the poles to drive the teeth into the earth as the oxen pulled across the fields, creating a pattern so beautiful and even it was almost a work of art. Women were singing at the water's edge, their voices carrying in the still air of late afternoon, while children swam and played in the lake. It was an idyllic scene but all too soon we had to leave for the bumpy drive back to Mandalay .

For dinner, our guides suggested a Shan barbecue. We sat under the stars around metal tables, enjoying large jugs of local beer. Chilled cabinets contained may different kinds of food that you could have cooked over hot coals. We chose tiny quail's eggs, sweet marble-sized new potatoes, spinach-like ‘mustard' leaves, fish balls, small fish a little like a sardine, heads of corn, pieces of pork and chicken, tofu spread with a spicy sauce and ‘milk' – barbecued milk??? It was some sort of curd I think, it tasted good anyway.

It was our last evening together as Eddie was travelling back to Yangon to be with his family at Christmas but Derek was staying with us to travel to Bagan.

The following day we chartered a boat for 10,000 kyat to take us to Mingun. The jetty was just a wooden shed in the middle of the usual total chaos that reigns whenever the Burmese are travelling. We had to clamber down the steep, muddy bank of the Ayeyarwaddy and over the hulls of other boats to get on board our lovely old wooden boat, the Mahleatkha. Four chairs had been put on the upper deck and we sat royally for our trip, our boatman busy at the rear steering us safely through the shallows and past the many sandbanks.

The river gleamed golden in the morning sun, thankfully impressively clean and free from litter. The yellow colour is caused by the silt that washes down from the hills. The Burmese are fortunate that the whole of the river is within their national boundary, so there are no problems with water usage as with the Mekong .

It took about an hour to reach Mingun, although we could see the village and the huge ruined pagoda from afar, the hills speckled with gleaming chedi and a towering Standing Buddha with a covered walkway clearly visible high up the mountain.

Many boats were moored by the river bank and we had to clamber over them to reach the shore. We walked along a track of fine, silvery sand to the road, accosted on all sides by vendors of handicrafts and the ubiquitous postcards, and ox cart drivers offering rides to the temple.

The pagoda is an awe-inspiring ruin with great cracks from top to bottom, tilting walls and doorways at crazy angles caused by the great earthquake of 1838. There are 175 steep, uneven brick steps with no hand rail leading to a flat area which are relatively easy to climb, then the going becomes very difficult, with some places that are downright dangerous. Once we had committed ourselves to the climb, we kept on going although at one point I really didn't think I could make myself cross a rickety pile of bricks over a huge drop. Derek had been there two years previously and said the ruin had deteriorated greatly since then. It's only going to take one accident, especially to a tourist, and climbing will be stopped, although one wonders how much longer the building will remain standing anyway. Optimistic pilgrims had put tiny twigs to help hold up the bricks and built cairns at strategic points.

The views from the top were incredible, both up and down river and across the plain to the hills, as well as over the village itself and its many temples, and made the exhausting climb more than worthwhile. We gingerly made our way back down again, passing a constant stream of pilgrims on their way to the top, causing a few hairy moments on the narrow steps. I would not advise anyone with a fear of heights, or not in the best of health, or without a good sense of balance and strong legs, to attempt to climb the pagoda.

A little further along the track we came to another famous monument in Mingun, the largest working bell in the world. There is one larger, in Russia , but it's cracked and doesn't ring. The Mingun bell, like the pagoda, was one of King Bawdawpaya's projects, cast in 1790 with such great success he had the maker executed so the triumph couldn't be repeated.

Our last stop was at the Hsinbyuma Pagoda, built by Bawdawpaya's grandson for his favourite wife. It's a pretty confection of archways and terraces symbolising sacred Mount Meru . At the top of the stupa are two Buddhist statues, one behind the other. The old one had its head broken off and although this has been replaced, it's not straight and a beautiful new statue has been put in front of it, both equally revered.

We rode an ox cart back to our boat for the return journey along the Road to Mandalay

On the road to Mandalay , where the flying fishes play

And the sun comes out like thunder, out of China ‘cross the bay….

- and we enjoyed every minute as we chugged down the historic river.

Back on dry land once more, on our way back to the hotel, a taxi dropped us at Zegyo market. It has many textile stalls but few other things of interest so we didn't browse for long and it was almost an anti-climax after the magical sights of the day.

For Christmas Day we had planned a special journey, going down the Ayeyarwaddy to Bagan by river steamer. We had a very early start to be at the jetty at 5.30 am, where we had to climb over the local ferry boat to get on board our steamer. The first deck was crowded with families laden with bundles of baggage, children, old folks, all squatting on mats in an area stacked with cargo, busy munching breakfast from a selection of bowls and interesting-looking tiffin tins. It was the usual colourful, chaotic scene that epitomises Burma for me, aromatic, exotic, buzzing with life and charged with excitement.

As foreigners we were not allowed to have any other type of ticket than for first class seating in an air-conditioned cabin. The steamer left at six o'clock with a cacophony of horns hooting and people shouting, but we left all the noise behind as we slipped into midstream. For an extra 1,000 kyat you could hire a wooden seat on deck, which was much nicer than the stuffy cabin. It was misty along the river at first and quite dark when we left but it was sublime to watch the full orange moon fall out of the sky and the first pale flush of dawn appear over the soaring banks.

We travelled swiftly down river, aided by the current, and soon arrived at Sagaing where the ghostly chedis rose from the mist blanketing the hills. It was freezing on deck but I didn't want to miss a thing and shivered with Derek as we went under the Inwa bridge, crossed a huge bowl in the curve of the river and turned west as the sun rose and made a path of gold across our wake

Another two hours or so later we arrived at Myinmu , where the River Mu joins the Ayeyarwaddy. We docked to pick up more passengers and women waded waist deep into the water selling quantities of fruits and sweets for passengers to buy.

We floated on serenely for mile after mile, following the channel through the shallows. We got a bit peckish so had ‘noddle soup' – nearly every place with a menu called it this instead of ‘noodle', so much so that we began to doubt whether we had it right! At three o'clock we reached Pakkoku, where we swung right around and went up river to the jetty, busy with women selling their brightly-coloured handwoven textiles

Turning again, we headed down river once more, floating past many islands and sandbanks, until finally mountains appeared to the east breaking the vast expanse of the plain and we started to see pagodas and chedi on nearby hilltops. At long last, after a journey of nearly eleven hours, we saw the gleaming spire of Shwezigon pagoda reflected in the yellow river. We had arrived at Bagan.

Gala 25th Annual Golden Raspberry (RAZZIE®) Award “Winners”

These were announced the now-traditional 24 hours BEFORE That Other Award Show: 7:30pm/PST Saturday, February 26 at the historic Ivar Theatre in Hollywood .

Opening with the splashy production number “Lame!” (sung to the tune of 1980's Oscar® winning Best Song “Fame”) this year's RAZZIE show was a 90-minute parody of award shows in general and the Academy Awards® in particular. Complete with presenters in tuxedoes and evening gowns, bitingly vicious real critics' quotes on each of the nominees and – if history is any indication – NONE of the expected “winners” within a mile of the hall, The Silver Anniversary of the Golden Raspberry Awards proved to be a memorable comic evening.

HALLE BERRY ACCEPTING HER RAZZIE

The actress, whose surprise appearance got her a standing ovation from a packed house, made a lengthy speech, parodying her 2002 Oscar win. Berry made a lengthy speech and parodied her sobbing during her 2002 Oscar win while brandishing her Oscar and Razzie - a small gold raspberry.

She said she turned up in person because she had been told as a child by her mother: “If you aren't able to be a good loser you're not able to be a good winner.”

The awards' founder, John Wilson, said: “We do not pick on the little guys who don't have the budget”, adding they drew attention instead to big-budget flops.

“So, on behalf of the ‘In The Can' column, I'd like to accept the award and would just like to thank my parents, Buddha, my agent, and anyone who knows me!”
