Client Testimonials
The Whelan family from England bought a large 3 bedroom villa at Royal Garden Resort
Whelan family have been looking for a holiday/investment destination in Asia, first came to Hua Hin in 2008 summer. They were searching somewhere clean and safe with a nice beach and a low-key atmosphere. “we sensed immediately that Hua Hin would be the place for us,” said the family. “HuahinJapan.com showed us several projects, which we took considerable time to think about and digest before we committed. After several briefing and consultation sessions, HuahinJapan.com took us to Royal Garden Resort on our third visit to Hua Hin, and we got a good feeling when we saw this project, as it offers countryside atmosphere, a unique design and plenty of space to stretch and breath.” The house structure is already complete and they plan to move in during October 2009. “The project owner and his construction team have been very flexible to meet each family’s needs. What is more, when we requested changes, they came back with much better and improved suggestions. We are impressed with their knowledge, flexibility and can do attitude. The quality of finishes is comparable to any local 5* resort. We would like to thank HuahinJapan.com for their customer oriented support”, the family added.
Mr & Mrs S from Tokyo - owner of Franjipani Resort
I will be retiring in 10 years, and we had been dreaming to travel many places in the world and if possible live abroad for certain period after retirement. Thailand is one of our candiate destinations.
When it comes to actual purchase of overseas property, we thought it would be difficult due to low liquidity, signing contract in foreign language, unfamiliar property laws and regulations, etc.. However, thanks to support of Mrs Akemi Bryan from HuahinJapan.com, we were able to find suitable property and successfully purchased Franjipani Resort
Franjipani is run as a resort, we can rent our rooms as hotel room, and the rental income covers running and maintenance costs unlike some other time share schemes. It was a totally new model in 2007 when we signed a contract, however, since then we have seen increasing number of resort projects have adapted this model, as it fits perfectly with market needs where there are some restrictions of Thai property ownership by foreigners. Even though we join the rental programme, we are still entitled to use our own units for a few weeks a year for holiday.
Huahin is a very popular destination for Europeans especially among Skandinavians. Home exchange is very common in Europe to realize quality holiday at reasonable costs. Franjipani is also easy to manage such exchange as it is run as resort hotel. We are hoping to realize such life we will be living many places around the world through exchanging our homes with people all over the world.
