The Bangkok serviced apartment market faces challenges in 2010 with a significant supply increase expected from 2009 to 2011 of 40% while demand has fallen and is not likely to rise significantly in the second quarter. Occupancy rates fell to 65-70% for long-term stays in the first quarter and this pattern may continue until supply stabilizes and demand increases. Nearly half of serviced apartment supply in Bangkok are grade B projects, with most located in the early Sukhumurt area and Central Lumpini area. One bedroom units are the most common at 44% of total units.

CHARITY EVENT OVERVIEW
Now in it's 17th glorious year, the annual "HDF" Charity Golf Classic is an incredibly special charity event that brings together many of Bangkok's most caring and fun loving people and residents for a thoroughly enjoyable day of Golf.
This year as always all proceeds raised from the event will be donated to Father Joe Maier's Human Development Foundation to aid in the various programs for the care of Bangkok's poorest children.
The serviced apartment sector continued to show further signs of recovery from the lows of Q2 2010. Overall rental rates and occupancy were up q/q.
It appears that the lingering effects of the April/May events of 2010 which directly impacted areas seems to be dissipating rapidly with Central Lumpini and Central CBD recording very positive figures for Q1 2011.
However this is no time for complacency as the sector faces another significant infusion of supply over the course of the year that will put pressure on the gains made over the past six months.
The earthquake and tsunami in Japan may have a small short term negative influence, however in the longer term expected increased Japanese investment into Thailand will also positively affect the serviced apartment sector.

Ho Chi Minh City Upscale Hotel Market - Year end review and forecast 2015Alternaty
Looking back at 2014, it was expected to be a particularly strong year for the five-star market in HCMC, with the first quarter gave several positive signs of strong performance throughout the whole year. However, the political tension between Vietnam and China in Q1/Q2 negatively impacted guest arrivals with several cancellations from groups and MICE business that was felt at different levels from various properties depending on the main target markets. That short period of instability affected the trading performance for the whole year by slightly reducing occupancy level in what could have been a remarkable year for the majority of the HCMC properties.
The market occupancy in 2015 is expected to be challenged by the large amount of new openings in the luxury segment. However, the flow of new rooms should be balanced by the closing down of some properties due to renovations expected to take place in the coming months with some properties anticipated to close down entire floors or businesses. This group includes Park Hyatt, Sheraton, Continental and the New World Hotel, along with the ongoing work on the Caravelle rooms. No committed schedule renovations have been announced and some properties may delay the work to the following year.
HCMC may have passed a period of economic tension due to the troubled relationship with China, but we are still extremely positive on the long term prospects of Vietnam’s economic capital hotel industry. Visitor arrivals have been steadily increasing over the past years. International tourists are enjoying a newly developed and charming destination with plenty of coastline recreational areas, and business travelers are capitalizing on the country’s continuously rising economy.
Hotels showed signs of recovery after a very problematic 2010 with occupancy rates higher in Q1 2011 than the previous quarter. Rates in Q1 2011 are comparable to those registered in Q1 2010.
The trend is still for hotels, especially in Luxury segment, to drive rates down in order to compete and this looks set to continue. A "risk discount" seems to be being applied in the case of hotels in areas deemed prone to further political strife.
Middle Eastern, Indian and Chinese visitors continue to be a growing presence in the Bangkok tourism industry especially during the low season. However traditional tourist markets, the mainstay of the Upper/Luxury segment (ULS), have begun to return to the city. The effect of the reduction in long term bookings after events last April and May appears to be abating.
Future supply in 2011 and 2012 will further test hotels’ ability to fill their rooms. Only continued strong growth in tourism can mitigate this situation. There will be no respite for the industry for some time to come.
Supply growth slowing q/q for Q1 2011 with just around 14,180 sq m being completed, all being community malls.
Rentals rates escalated q/q by around 4% and take up increased by approximately 1% for the same period. Consumer confidence and spending over the past year are positively affecting the retail sector as a whole.
The trend is not only the development of new retail centres but the renovation of older buildings with outdated retail designs and mix. This flight to the top can only be of benefit to customers and the sector as a whole.
New launches in Q1 2011 fell to a more sustainable level following the frenetic previous six months. Concerns of an overheating property market have been allayed as a result. The condominium market has begun the process of consolidation.
Within urban Bangkok, the Northern and Southern fringes led the way in new launches with around 15% each for the total of the whole of Bangkok. The Suburban area accounted for around 56% of the total.
Around 3,500 units were supplied in Q1 2011, a slight decrease q/q. For the past two years, quarterly additions to new supply have been remarkably stable.
The earthquake in Chiang Mai in March 2011 caused many potential buyers to pay attention to the resilience of buildings to damage from such events. More may be required to address these concerns although Bangkok is far from areas prone to serious seismic activity.
As maintained by the steady demand for commercial and residential buildings, Chamkarmon district experienced 10% of land price average increase y-o-y from the fourth quarter of 2013 to that of 2014.
Highlights:
The metrics for the office market in Q2 2011 remained almost the same as for Q1 2011
A more positive trajectory for the office market could be in store for the future if the political situation is perceived as being more stable.
Around 100,000 sq m of office space is set to hit the CBD market in H2 2011.
Initial strains expected from new supply in 2011 but a limited amount in the next few years will lead to hardening of occupancy and rental rates.
The ASEAN Economic Area comes closer to fruition in 2015 and the service sector can benefit from this.
Greek fiscal problems and contagion from other European countries remain a concern going forward.
Bangkok contains the most office supply for any city in the ASEAN area.

Just over 4,700 units were supplied in Pattaya for 2010 representing a nearly 12 % increase from
2009. This was the greatest addition to supply since 1997.
New launches for 2010 amounted to just over 3,420 units. With take up and prices remaining
stable it would appear that future growth in condominium developments is running in tandem with
the growing popularity of the city as a residential resort area.
Pratumnak will be the new darling of the city as developers focus on the natural attraction of
Pratumnak hill with its position overlooking the city and access to Cosy Beach. Over 650 units
were launched in this area in the second half of 2010.
Many local developers are now firmly established in the city along with involvement from a number
of listed developers. Pattaya city is appearing on the radar screen for other Bangkok based
developers as the city turns into a world class destination and future commercial centre.

Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.

The Bangkok serviced apartment market is facing a difficult 2010 with a significant increase in
supply while demand has fallen and is not likely to increase discernibly for Q2.
From 2009 to 2011 it is expected that overall supply of serviced apartment units will have risen by

40%. This will be difficult for the market to absorb.
2009 - Q1 2010 Occupancy has continued to fall in Q1 2010 to the 65-70% mark for long term stays. This pattern
is likely to continue until supply stabilizes and demand picks up again.
