Benefiting land and property owners on Koh Phangan
The increase in development and growth in tourist arrivals can put a strain on local infrastructure, especially on Koh Phangans road network, which the property market relies on. In October and November which is typically low season here on Koh Phangan several upgrades and repairs were started, which will increase the value of the property and land around them.
One project, aims to re-construct sections of the road from Baan Khai to Haad Rin, which is notoriously steep in places even though the real estate in this area is well developed with many homes and properties. Drilling into the large rocks on the land has been under way for several weeks now and progress although slow due to the strength of the granite bedrock is moving steadily along. This road receives heavy traffic as many visitors come to Koh Phangan for the full moon party and the road from Baan Khai is the only access road to the rest of Koh Phangan.
At the scenic setting of Hingkong on the west coast of Koh Phangan work got under way to relive the local properties from heavy wash off after the monsoonal rains. Koh Phangan often receives vast amounts of water quickly in short periods in October/November and April/May when monsoon rains are possible. The people on Koh Phangan have manly built their houses in low lying areas and Hingkong is such a place. After the new construction is completed, protection against floods will help the real estate in this area develop further.
There are still many dirt tracks to be found on Koh Phangan some of which are heavily used roads, the link between Seethanu and the Koh Phangan west coast ring road was no exception. The short twisting road flanked by coconut palms suffered from a stream cutting through which on occasion overflowed. The homes along this link road now have a thickly paved road that also supports the growing real estate development on west coast of Koh Phangan.
The Seethanu-Chaophao-Haad Yow ring road serving property on the west of Koh Phangan was pushed through to Haad salad last year and pavement is progressing along the route. This November concrete was laid down up to the land below the Haad Yow Center, eliminating the difficult decent that the dirt road presented before.
