High season going well on Phangan this year. Have usual moving in a property field. Few villas changed the owners, including Misalina villa and Baan Kai Villa, few resorts too, few new places going to open soon and many other things also happens.
    Posting here below just a few new offers:

Phangan resort rental. "Meridien Khao Tam" in Baan Tai.

   Khao Tam its the area of Baan Tai with a special feeling: its quiet, because concrete road finishing on a temple, many vast stones around, Santol and other trees, nice sea views... And attractive price for rent: 790,000 THB/year.

Nice land plot in Thong Nai Pan Yai: five Rai  for 20 mln., ready for building residence project.

Than Prapard resort available again for rent: short & long term.

  
We also moving forward with our Nakhon SI Thammarat things & deals. Here are few recent photos from that places from Tambralinga.

 About all of our non commercial programs: here we decided to open a branch of  ΚΑΛΌΣ fund in Thailand and work together. Soon you'll see there many interesting ideas and can join to any of it.


Phangan Guru: portal what is promising to collect all of our Phangan resources (and Phangan.club too) in one place going to be done probably on next year, just because of astrology issues. Year of Blue horse is not the best for that, as our partner said, so less job for us!

   Random trip to the nearest province, Nakhon Si, eventually lead us up to creating related website and changing our current life from Phangan to Nakhon Si Thammarat.
In  few points, where business will be at the bottom:

Beauty of Nakhon Si nature. Its has a really grand scope!

Waterfalls
There are about 20 waterfalls in Nakhon SI Thammarat. 
Water is cold, refreshing, clear and tasty. In every waterfall you'll see jacuzzi style spots to lie on. Among the  inhabitants are unique plants and funny animals, which I never met before.

    Staying at the "right place" you can easily reach 7 or 8 waterfalls. And be happy!

   Forgot to mention: waterfall visits are the source of good health and positive mind.
    Karom waterfall on photo at right is not the biggest here.

Going on with a story, where are the river and a waterfall there is also a mountain. And its also means that the sky favoring us amazing pictures every day. 

   And the beaches.
Sandy and crowd-less, have a good water to swim all year round. And pink dolphins who're living around Khanom.

   Nakhon Si Thammarat culture and history

  Its actually the same concept. Ancient history is a basis for modern culture. Being before powerful Ligor, or Tambralinga Kingdom, land still have all the sacred spots of ancestors. They all has a temples and people paying a homage on a special days of celebration. Buddhism harmonically  come to the Hindu religious roots and makes a awesome mix. 
Culture includes national dance Nora, Nang Talung shadow play theatre, moon calendar celebrations. 

Business opportunities of Nakhon Si Thammarat

Its easy to imagine with few factors below:

1. own Nakhon Si Thammarat airport with cheap flights (Air Asia & Nokair). Donsak port allows to reach Samui-Phangan-Tao in a short time. Good road connections with Phuket and other parts of Thailand.
2. Warm attitude and easy communication with the locals. All (surely, some exceptions exist) of them have a good life (its always nice when happy people around), many speaks good English. 
3. Cheap prices. Land, construction and other services costs much less that on Phangan.
4. Ecology. While its becoming more important for the people worldwide, its also looks like its not getting better. What is really strange, remembering how important respect to the 4 elements was all the times before! Large part of Nakhon Si belongs to the National parks, people still stay close to the nature and we believe that this vibe will have influence on guests of province. 
5. Facilities. While province has lots of nice places to eat and relax in various forms, it almost don't have  any sex entertainment and drinking spots. So the people who appreciate that kind of things don't need to do nothing special to avoid the tourism in its other familiar face.

 Believe it or not, the idea of iLandGuide, now a worldwide company, was born here on our island in the Summer of 2011.
> By now we have divisions in Barbados, Antigua & Barbuda, Bali and other locations with a headquarter in Florida, US.
>
> We are a bunch of friends from different countries, who arrived to this island a couple of years ago and - like many others - fell in love with this special place. We decided to settle here and while enjoying the many pleasures this island has to offer, we were thinking, what can we add to this? How can we help people who come to visit to be more aware of happenings on the island, find their way around easily and know many useful info about the place?

     Some people prefer using guidebooks but more and more opt for the easier way of using travel applications on their mobile phones (instead of carrying around a book all the time).
> No wonder there are hundreds of different apps coming out every week in the Apple and Play stores and travel apps are one of the most popular ones.
 Its a proven business model!
 So we thought, let's do this!

 We created an application that different than others in many ways. Why?
> For several reasons like:
> - unlike most big companies, we focus on smaller vacation places instead of big cities
> - it has a beautiful design and a user friendly navigation (thats not always given)
> - as we work with local franchise partners, we are able to maintain a strong local presence on the island with our local marketing activity. No other applications work this way. (We have posters, flyers, even free wifi spots established at the Pantip market, Thong Sala - main road 7eleven and at the Blue Top Coffee Shop and more to come)
> - the app is free to download and works offline but still very interactive as every time the user has net connection, the content is being refreshed on the app which makes it up to date all the time
> - we have the most detailed offline map of Phangan (that was built by us) with GPS navigation!

and my favourite bit:
>
> - businesses that sign up for listing can log in to our admin system and update, change information on a daily basis

 That is pretty cool, isn't it? It gives great interactivity to the app!
    In a magazine or on a flyer, you cannot change information once its printed and it is not easy to do so on websites, apps either. With us, it is just few clicks and the next day it is there.
    Perfect for many sorts of businesses. And it is ECO-friendly! Let's go digital and keep the island clean.
    iLandGuide is ran by a local team with a local office to be at your service at any time.
     We hope you like our product, feedbacks are always welcome!

 Probably its a last post in 2012, so Marry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our readers!!

1. Marketing - we don't stopped with Phangan One, just took a little break. Even with that more resorts joins to the first really Phangan booking platform and website engine, working on 4+% commission! Why not everyone yet, if its so cool? That's a good question.

2. House rental on Phangan.

Sounds unbelievable, but its still possible to reserve good house for the Christmas and New Year, but without a big choice, of course. But with a rush now - last few available only. Also we have new offers in our list - check it now!

3. Phangan-Samui business overview on our website.
   We had so many complains that there are no information about past and future of property market on Phangan with average construction expences and rentals income and... and... and also... So, we wrote and post it - its not so much, but its something, what can help to somebody - it was enough reason to do it!
