Dear Readers,

Welcome to the April edition of Tropical Living in Thailand.

The property market in Thailand appears to be growing exponentially despite the recent global economic turmoil. In this month’s LIVING NEWS we take a look at the property market across South East Asia, through the eyes of the regions media. In PAPER TALK, with the US in particular on the verge of a recession, we have a closer look at what affect this might have on the Thai economy.

In EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW we were lucky enough not only to interview the noted Deepak Ohri, CEO of the highly successfully lebua hotels, but to also sample some of the delights at Bangkok’s decadent Dome. Deepak takes us on his rags to riches journey, which has seen him go from washing dishes to rubbing shoulders with the corporate elite.

In DREAM DESIGNS we meet a passionate designer who has taken his family’s business to aesthetically pleasing heights using classic teak wood. In TESTING TIMES and GIGA GADGETS we spend time with two companies who want to drag you and your home, kicking and screaming or otherwise, into the digital age.

I hope you enjoy this month’s edition.
As always, your comments are more than welcome.

Best Regards,
Kirstie Flood
