WELCOME TO THE LUXURY ISSUE

South East Asia is currently sparkling under the weight of luxury brands. Many embrace this trend in decadence whilst others claim ‘luxury’ is a state of mind. Indeed ‘cash rich and time poor’ is an affliction striking many in the western world. We explore this issue in more depth in our closing article ‘PARTING SHOT’. Examine the rise in Thailand of luxury goods in ‘PAPER TALK’ and ponder the possible demise in our ‘LIVING NEWS’ special on Oil Prices.

On Page 50 we take you inside one of Thailand’s most opulent residences ‘Baan Pai-Nam’ priced at 95 million baht. If you’re looking for beautiful pieces to decorate your designer home, browse through our extended ‘GONE SHOPPING’ section for lavish pieces for you and your home. After all that spending may we suggest a read of ‘FINANCE FOCUS’ for some tips on Asset Management!

Finally, we continue our theme of keeping abreast of neighbouring South East Asian markets with an look at Indonesia in both ‘MARKET MOVEMENTS’ and ‘LEGAL LINES’ where our journalist draws insightful comparisons with Thailand.

Coming in August: THE CONDOMINIUM ISSUE
