So, what should buyers do in the Hua Hin property market today? As I write this, a small number of local property owners are finding that purchases made through nominee structures have landed them in serious trouble. I have some sympathy for those affected, but nominee ownership has been the wrong way to buy property for decades, and most people knew there was a risk. Thailand has not suddenly changed...

Buying property in Hua Hin can be an exciting prospect, whether you are planning for retirement, looking for a permanent home or considering an investment. But right now, buyers need to be particularly careful about what they buy and who they buy through. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of very good houses and condominiums available in Hua Hin. The challenge is sifting through the heavily marketed...

The Hua Hin property market has been unusually active during May and June, a time of year when sales and enquiries would normally begin to slow following the high season. Keeping my ever-positive view of life here in Hua Hin, I can honestly say it has been much busier than expected. Good-quality buyers are still looking, high-end rental properties are continuing to move, and sales activity has been...

Hua Hin land titles and property ownership can be confusing, especially for foreign buyers trying to understand leases, title deeds and what is legally safe. I mentioned last month that I would try to explain land titles and ownership in simple terms. While I fully understand the rules around property ownership in Thailand, I will always insist that every buyer takes proper independent legal...

Good Hua Hin property advice is not always about pushing people to buy. Sometimes, the best advice is to wait, rent first, or walk away from a property that does not feel right. This month, I’m taking a step back from my usual focus on market trends to explain why, at certain times of the year, I sell less than others. I’ve been working in Hua Hin property for more than 20 years and have been...

Timing matters when buying property in Hua Hin. Over recent months, I’ve seen my own sales affected because I pay close attention to market trends and conditions. That’s always been my approach, and it won’t change. Many buyers have struggled with exchange rates. On paper, property here can look very good value compared to other places. But buying at the wrong rate can cause problems if you need...

Hua Hin property market trends are changing fast as more retirees and investors turn their attention to the city. There are more visitors, more articles, more promotion, and more attention on this city than ever before. There is probably no turning back. Hua Hin is becoming a genuine international destination, whether people are renting long term or buying. Should we be slightly concerned? Maybe. Should...

Choosing a Hua Hin property agent is not something to take lightly. Not everyone advertising property here is a professional agent, and that distinction can make a serious financial difference. This month’s column is more of a warning, particularly for visitors thinking about retirement in Hua Hin. With total respect, as we all get older, we have less time to fix financial mistakes. Sadly, I’m...

The Hua Hin property market in 2026 is attracting growing interest from people looking for a more liveable, long-term base in Thailand. Happy New Year to you all, and let’s hope for a prosperous 2026 here in Hua Hin. There were plenty of negative stories throughout 2025, but looking ahead, I genuinely believe Thailand is moving in the right direction when it comes to improving the lifestyle for expats...

A simpler way to find the right property in Hua Hin If you’ve ever tried searching for property in Hua Hin online, you’ll know how frustrating it can be. You scroll through page after page of listings, many of them out of date, missing key details, or simply not what you’re actually looking for. That’s exactly why I’ve added a new bespoke property search service to the Hua Hin Property Agent...
