IMMEDIATELY ENJOY YOUR LUSH TROPICAL GARDEN With Hua Hin’s wonderful climate, plants, flowers and trees grow quickly. Nonetheless, a tropical garden that has been allowed to grow and mature for several years will always be more lush and lovely then a garden that was just planted. New or used? From my experience in the Hua Hin property market the bottom line is this; find a house you like, consider its pros and cons — objectively, as well as emotionally — and think about the compromises you’re willing to make. The more logically you approach buying a house here in Hua Hin, the more you’re going to love living in it for a long time to come.
