73 Rai Beach Front
Koh Poor, Koh Lanta, Krabi
Total of 73 Rai beachfront located on a small island off the east coast of Koh Lanta Yai accessed by long tail boat. The island is called Koh Por, sometimes spelled "Poor" or "Pur" and is mostly inhabited by local Muslim fishermen.
The land has about 350m of immediate beach front, with a rough sandy beach.
This is a perfect long term investment as the natural progression will be for resort
and villa developers to seek alternative land sources as the land on Koh Lanta Yai becomes scarcer and more expensive.

In addition, his return to the Argentine courts will occur in the next season for the Open Jockey Club, along with the three Heguy brothers. "It is going to take a little time to get use to," he said.
In terms of preparing the team for the high handicap season, Pite noted that "Palermo will be important, although we will have the horses ready to play from the beginning of Tortugas, the first tournament of the year."
