Supplementary Notes
Question : Is furniture included ?
Answer : Andaman Sky Co., Ltd will be happy to furnish your house
for you at an extra cost which depends on the furniture you select,
please contact us for further information.
Question : Are Andaman Sky Co., Ltd's houses built using environmentally-friendly
materials ?
Answer : Yes. We use teak hardwood only for external windows and
doors. This is sourced from environmentally-managed forests and
not from strip-felling. For internal woodwork we use "Persia"
semi-hardwood, imported from Finland.
Question : What appliances are included ?
Answer : Refrigerator, gas hob with hood, microwave. Contact us
for a price for an oven, washing machine and/or dishwasher. These
are not included as most Westerners living in Thailand do not
use them.
Question : What worktop surfaces are included ?
Answer: Included in the price are bathroom and kitchen worktops
made from black granite. Please contact us for a price for an
upgrade to marble.
Question : How will water be heated ?
Answer : Using a hot water tank and a boiler. The alternative
system of using electric heaters to heat water on-demand (the
standard system in Thailand) is inefficient and ineffective.
Question : What sort of drainage system will be installed ?
Answer : For toilet waste a buried 3-tank system will be employed,
with soakaways at the bottom of the 2nd and 3rd tanks. For kitchen
waste water a separate tank will be used. Neither system will
ever require emptying.
Sufficient rodding points will be provided.
Question : What rental return can I expect on my investment ?
Answer : Assuming that you occupy the house for no more than 3
weeks during
high season and 7 weeks in all during the year, you can expect
a return of
4% in the first year, rising to 10% after 5 years. Andaman Sky
Co., Ltd does
not guarantee these returns.
Question : What capital appreciation can I expect ?
Answer : Industry observers are unanimous that values in the Krabi
market
are likely to appreciate more rapidly than anywhere else in Thailand.
Andaman Sky does not guarantee this opinion.
Question : Who will look after my property whilst I am away ?
Answer : Andaman Sky Co., Ltd's architectural contractor, Ton
Co., Ltd,
offers a comprehensive maintenance package - please contact us
for further
details.
Question : How will my house be kept secure whilst I am away
?
Answer : The price for a security guard is as follow:
12 hours per day: 8,000 THB
14 hours per day: 9,245 THB
16 hours per day: 10,800 THB
All prices above are subject to 7% VAT. The price is for 1 month
with no days off.
Alternatively, we can install a Bosch security system at an extra
cost of 95,000 THB. This can be linked to the local police station,
with whom Andaman Sky Co., Ltd can negotiate a modest call-out
fee.

Satelite TV : 1,500 THB / month

Question : What air-con or fan systems are included ?
Answer : We can install air-con in bedrooms at an extra cost of
25,000 THB
per bedroom. We recommend ceiling fans in the kitchen and living
rooms and will purchase and install these. Andaman Sky Co., Ltd
will install free of charge any additional fans required and supplied
by the customer, provided that the customer informs Andaman Sky
Co., Ltd of his/her requirements before the ceilings and walls
are plastered. Ceiling and wall fans can be installed after plastering,
for an at-cost additional fee.
Question : What sort of wiring system will be installed ?
Answer : 3-pin, with earthing. Wires will be buried in the walls.
In Thailand most electrical fittings are of
poor quality. We will use electrical fittings manufactured under
licence
from the Japanese firm "National"
Question : What sort of toilets will be installed ?
Answer : Western-style, manufactured by American Standard. Unlike
almost all
toilets in Thailand, you will be able to dispose of toilet tissue
in the Western way.
Question : How many power points will be installed ?
Answer : Andaman Sky Co., Ltd is aware that in almost all houses
in Thailand
there are far fewer power points than expected by Westerners.
Ample power
points will be installed throughout your house.
