Guten Abend Evertone!
Year it will be a paradise for all them Golfers but for the General boredom for the not so previledged few who are into this petty bourgeois Sport!
I hope TCC will change their mind and reconsider and add a Seaworld Style Ocean Theme Park to their part of theirr huge plot in Cha AM area!

Actually the potential growth does not surprise me as it is a very nice place to live. In reality I'd prefer it stayed just the way it is, not to crowded, easy to get around and quiet most of the time. Growth changes all of that and not for the better.
On the bright side property values will continue to go up and perhaps a shopping mall will appear nearby.

Perhaps Norm is looking long-term as the development will not be complete at least until the world recession is recovering. Time in the market, not timing the market and all that.
Caller, please PM me the development offering 1M Baht discounts, I want to check it out. If they're 8M+ properties just let me know on here without mentioning them.
Cheers,

Actually I'm looking at it selfishly, as I live in Cha Am and quite like it the way it is. Well development is a fact of life and will come eventually, I for one am not in a hurry for it.
Having lived in Hua Hin and Cha Am I prefer the slower life style of Cha Am as I'm not a night life person and don't do the bar scene. Not that there is anything wrong with it, it just isn't my thing.

Talk is cheap
Is there enough water in the area to support these golf courses?
Up here in the Nong Hieng / Nong Korn area of Hua Hin, water shortages, which were fairly prevalent before, have become much worse since Black Mountain opened. When you look at the surface reservoirs they have created and consider that almost all that water used to be under the ground feeding our wells, 2 + 2 does seem to make 4.
Or was that FORE?

Big Plans for ChaAm
I doubt that having enough water will be of any concern to the developers. It doesn't seem to be a priority for housing developments!
But I love Understudys' 'Petty Bourgoise Sport' Description. Nice one US!
On one hand it's good to see there is faith in the continued growth of the area tourism wise, but FIVE courses for gawds sake? in ChaAm? Oh dear. Must be an awful lot of people who like playing with little balls. Weird.

Re: Big Plans for ChaAm
Me too on that one, ha ha. 5 extra courses does seem a little OTT, I suppose, obviously, the area is trying to turn itself into a major golfing center.margaretcarnes wrote:But I love Understudys' 'Petty Bourgoise Sport' Description. Nice one US!
It does make sense when you think about golf's snooty/elitist/privilaged/"I've made it" image, especially here.

Good evening everyone
Errr as my memories serves me wright we have a Major Golfing Center allready haven't we justacross the Rim (Bay of Thailand) The Area around Pattaya more than a dozen Golf courses overthere allready. I'll still stand by my stand point that Golf is a pretty Bourgoise Sport (Thank you very much Margeret and Spitfire for your Compliments! ) that hte Hi so or wanna be Hi So + Elitist play.
I would really like to see an Edutainment and fun filled Waterpark "Sea World Adventure Park style attraction which features a pair of Killerwhales, Dolphins ect. and on the same Area a World class Water PArk.!
I believe Comprmise is possable build 2 and a Half Wold Class Top Notch state of the art Golf courses and for the rest of the Area build an Water and Edutainment Park a la Sea World San Diego!.

Ahem! Excuse me Big Boy
But with Disney building and opening a Theme Park in Shanghai on mainland China in 6 years Time. It's virtually impossible for the next 10 to 15 years that another Disney Theme Park would open in Southeast Asia! But If one SE Nation cut some corners and work something out with the Disney Theme Parks Ltd. (which Malaysia is now haevily lobbying for its entirely from scratch build City of Iskandar (estimated Pop: 3 Million in Southern JB) region of Malaysia!) A Disney Theme Park could be possible!
I personally like the Idea of an Ocean EDutainment and Water Park such as Sea World would siut this Area better!.
