Dear All,

There is a saying that “Too much of a good thing is bad for you.”

Not entirely true! Not when it comes to Panorama Promotions!

Feast your eyes on the, not one – but two Panorama Promotions below. We have addressed both ends of the spectrum in providing exceptionally good-value-for-money two-bedroomed Nature 3 villas and the majestic 3-4-bedroomed Aqua villa.

Nature 3 The very popular two-bedroomed Nature 3 promotion is back at extremely realistic prices.

Aqua Villa

For those of you who don’t know, our beautiful Aqua villa lends itself to being outstandingly versatile when it comes to incorporating changes in layout and design to suit buyer preferences. Moreover, we have reduced the prices on the prime plots – those top row plots of the development with the wonderful panoramic views and, also the larger plots on Phase A.

Don’t believe me? Come and see for yourself! You will be amazed.

Please do not hesitate to send me an Email with any queries that you may have.

Dear All,

There has been a tremendous amount of activity over the last few months with regards to sales at Panorama. As you all know, I encourage prospective villa owners to incorporate their own ideas into the original design albeit that I know that I am making a rod for my own back. However, it is all extremely worthwhile when our customers see a villa transpire into their home.

Needless to say, (or perhaps I do need to say), that this task amongst many others has kept me incredibly busy and as a consequence, newsletters such as this are as not as frequent as some would wish. To those ‘some’; I apologise.

Moving on:

So where are we now with regards to sales?

Of the total number of available plots within Panorama, we have just passed the 60% mark with regards to villas sold. There are a total of seventeen villas that are either under construction or awaiting survey, twelve of which will finish this year. To make it easier to understand you can see the updated plot plan below.

(Higher resolution plot plan can be found here.)

To itemise:

Plots 4, 5, and 47 are Nature 2 villas. Plots 33 to 37 and 39 to 41 are Nature 3 villas. Plots 50 to 53 are Nature 1 villas and plot 48 is a specially designed villa similar to a Nature 2 in size but with only two bedrooms.

That’s it for the time being. As usual, please send me an Email with your comments or queries.

Yesterday, I was kindly reminded, that I had yet to publish the photographs of the Naturally Nature Party which I had said that I would do “shortly” in the January 4th newsletter. How remiss of me not to have done so.

Thank you Rebecca.

Below is a taster of what can be found if you click here.

Our previous Nature 3 villa promotion was such a success (7 sold and 1 reserved out of 9) that we have decided to promote our 2-bedroomed Nature 3 villas once more.

Why?

Simply because all buyers said more or less the same thing; the villas are excellent value for money especially given Panorama’s idyllic location, its proximity to Hua Hin for shopping and, Pak Nam Pran for some REAL Thai lifestyle and inexpensive yet tasty, fresh food dining.

Our Sales Agents agree.

As before, the promotional villas are on selected plots which, can be identified using the Panorama Plot Plan which can be viewed here. Prices of the villas are clearly indicated and can be easily read using the ‘key’ which, also shows plot numbers and their respective sizes.

Due to popular demand, all our promotional Nature 3 villas will have their own private ‘infinity’ swimming pool included in the price. Floor plans of the Nature 3 villa can be found by clicking here.

You can contact me direct by clicking here.

Well the day arrived; golf during the day and the party in the evening and a splendid time was had by all. Being responsible for last-minute ‘everythings’ and ‘anythings’, I was fortunate enough to miss out on the golf. Golf lovers forgive me; I can’t resist the opportunity to quote Mark Twain here when he referred to golf as; “A good walk spoiled”.

The evening party was an enormous success due to a huge turnout of people including Bangkok Bank VIPs, the Mayor, Members of Parliament, Military Top Brass, Police Chiefs, Plc Directors, photographers, wannabe photographers, contractors, hoteliers, customers, potential customers, staff members, and my personal favourites, the *CHs.

There was an abundance of food, barbequed and not, wine and beer aplenty, music from an extremely talented band, a beautiful light show, and the breath taking sight of many Kom Fai (paper lantern-balloons) soaring brightly up into the starlit night sky. ‘Twas indeed an event to remember.

But what of the villas you ask.

Well, the villas were finished on time (sort of) but certainly finished well enough to draw praise, both for the design and finishing. Real Estate Agents were also suitably impressed - now there is a compliment. So now we have three more show houses, one each of the Natures namely 1, 2, and 3. Check the floor plans out on the villas page of this website.

Look at the photographs below and judge for yourselves and I look forward to your comments. As for photographs of the party; I shall upload them shortly after I have added captions.

Dear All,

Please, click on the thumbnail below to view your invitation to the ‘Naturally Nature’ Open Day and join in with us on the 3^rd of December at the launch of our cost competitive 2 and 3 bedroom villas situated in a truly idyllic location.

Yours faithfully,

Dear All,

It gives me ENORMOUS pleasure in informing you all, that the Panorama Pool Villas development is now:

cableless – wireless – lineless and poleless!!!

If there are any readers of this bulletin that are totally ‘clueless’ as to the reasons for our jubilation – then I am ‘speechless’.

They are gone! They are no more! They are deceased! They have expired!*

I am of course, referring to the overhead power lines - they have disappeared, along with the poles!

It has taken some time to fulfil the dream of not having cables strung across the horizon and obstructing our wonderful views.

Despite frustrating bureaucrats, seemingly endless red tape, and efforts by the ‘Preservation of Cables Worldwide Organisation’ to stop us, not to mention global warming and the FIFA World Cup 2010, we eventually had them (the cables) removed. (… a bit like England’s World Cup football team really - unappealing, useless, overrated, and  subsequently, justifiably ousted).

Before you ask: YES! Of course there is an underground electrical supply to replace it.

Look below to see the ‘Before & After’ photographs (just in case there are some Doubting Thomases out there) … and NO, I have not been cheating with  image editing software.)

Simply click on any one of the thumbnails to open a full sized photograph. Clicking on each photograph will advance you to the next one in a ‘Now you see – now you don’t’ sequence.

Have fun!

Indeed, seeing IS believing. I see the progress of our new show houses every day – however, you do not. So, I decided to take some photographs so that you too - can believe.

I am told (but then I am told many things) that the Nature 2 Show House will be finished by the end of June. (That’s June of this year for you cynics.)

I, like many of you, (sixteen to be precise) are really looking forward to all 3 of the Show Houses being completed and when they are finished, I shall be writing to all sixteen of you so that you can come and have a look at the Real Thing. Thank you for your patience thus far and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.

Just a recap: the Nature 3 is our 2-bedroomed baby of 200 square metres, the Nature 2 is 3-bedroomed with 217 square metres and the Nature 3 is also 3-bedroomed with 243 square metres total living area. Prices are as per the price list found here.

Do not forget that we will fully furnish (fitted furniture is included in the price) the villas at COST PRICE.

How?

We buy directly from the factory and pass on that saving to you.

I should not need to point out that the views from the Nature 1 Show House are exceptionally outstanding and the view across the top of the beautifully gardened Club House is indeed a joy to behold.

Take a look below at the photographs that I took at lunchtime today. (Click to enlarge.)

Welcome to the new look Panorama website. Do you like it?

Personally, I do, not just because I had an input into the different theme but primarily because the old website looked dreary - informative but dreary. The new one looks refreshing, appealing to the eye; more colourful and more tropical methinks. Rather befitting of the The Panorama Pool Villas.

What are your thoughts?

1. The old one was alright - don’t know why you bothered.

2. I miss the panning panoramic view on the home page.

3. I enjoyed spending an eternity scrolling through the information to find what I was looking for.

4. I much prefer dank dusty dreary sites.

5. The new one is FAB!

6. I had so much fun trying to find all the information I thought I already knew the location of.

7. The new one is SUPER and my congratulations to the GM for his supreme efforts.

8. I hope that the villa prices have not increased to cover the cost of the new website.

9. I don’t give a d_ _ _ what your b_ _ _ _ _ website looks like - just reduce the price of the villas.

10. We love your website and that handsome hunk of a GM. (Secretary of the Panorama Fan Club).

Why, thank you. (Blush).

I shall write again soon.
