What you need to know before reading anything else.

  1. 01

    What it is

    A 3.45-rai plot in Wok Tum, leased for 30 years, with room for 14 private pool houses. 4 are built: two open and two opening in January 2027. 10 are still to build.

  2. 02

    The round

    ฿9M: a new investor puts in ฿6.62M for 18.06% and the current partners add ฿2.38M. This opens villas 3–4.

  3. 03

    The plan

    September 2027: 6 houses · July 2028: 10 houses · May 2029: 14 houses. The 10 new houses (฿65M) are paid for with a ฿25M loan, ฿29.1M of partner capital in 2027–29 and the company's profits.

  4. 04

    What comes back

    The new investor puts in ฿11.9M in total (฿6.62M now and ฿5.3M in 2027–29) and receives ≈฿147M over the lease: 12.4× and an IRR of 22.5%. The investment is paid back in 2033.

  5. 05

    Why the whole land

    The land, the road, the power and the brand are already paid for. On all of the company's capital, the IRR is 15.9% with 4 houses and 23.7% with all 14.

Under the A. All made by hand.

One idea, repeated in every villa: a double-height teak A-frame roof, floor-to-ceiling glass onto the garden and a pool that is yours alone. Nothing bought from a catalogue.

07 · Where we are

The base is built. There is room for ten more houses.

Mira has invested ≈฿30M in its first 4 houses: two open and two opening in January 2027. The access, the power, the design and the brand are already paid for.

The land has room for 14 houses. Each new house costs ฿6.5M, with no land cost, and uses everything already in place. That is why completing the land creates the most value: fixed costs are spread over 3.5 times the revenue.

08 · The land

The whole land, leased at 2022 prices.

≈9.9Kbaht per rai a month, today

Fixed by contract, with agreed increases. On Koh Phangan, land rents have tripled or quadrupled since we signed: the plot next door, from the same owner, now rents for three times as much.

The projections count 30 years of operation, 2027 to 2056, including the extension under negotiation; without it, the lease ends in June 2053. At the end the land returns to the owner: the projections give the buildings no value.

How the 10 new houses are paid for: ฿65M

LoanPartner capitalProfits
Loan ฿25MPartner capital ฿29.1MProfits kept in the company ฿10.9M

Loan · ฿25M

From a bank or a private lender, realistically available from early 2028, for the 2028 and 2029 builds. Interest only while building; then a 10-year repayment from 2030, at 8%. The 2027 houses use no loan. Terms subject to an offer.

Partner capital · ฿29.1M

฿9M in 2027, ฿10.9M in 2028, ฿9.1M in 2029. Offered to all partners pro rata; if a partner does not take up their share, a new partner can come in.

Profits · ฿10.9M

Dividends keep being paid during the build, at 85% of profit. The 15% kept in the company, plus depreciation, goes into construction.

Alternatives

With a ฿30M loan, partner capital falls to ฿25M and the IRR rises to 24.1%. Paying out 80% of profit instead of 85% during the build reduces the capital needed by ≈฿1.2M.

How returns are measured. The equity IRR counts only the partners' own money: ฿33M already in, plus ฿29.1M of capital in 2027–29, against the dividends they receive. The loan is not partner money: interest and principal are paid before any dividend. The project IRR is the same investment with no loan: 24.0%.

How revenue is calculated

For each house and each season: nights booked × nightly rate. Expected rates: high season ฿9,000–฿12,000, mid ฿6,000–฿9,000, low ฿5,000–฿6,000. The base case uses the midpoints, ฿10,500 / ฿7,500 / ฿5,500, growing 3% a year from 2028. Occupancy starts at ≈69% in 2027 and reaches 79% in 2030. Houses that open mid-year count only the months they are open.

Example 2027: 4.67 house-years × (14 weeks × ฿73,500 + 12 × ฿52,500 + 10 × ฿38,500) = 4.67 × ฿2,044,000 = ฿9.54M.

Of all revenue, 10% goes to the booking platform and 10% to the management company, before any cost. Costs: maintenance, utilities and cleaning per house; fixed admin and marketing; the land rent; and 3% of revenue set aside for refurbishment. Everything grows 3% a year.

  • 2027–2029, build years: dividends are still paid, ฿3.2M in 2027, ฿6.3M in 2028 and ฿11.2M in 2029, while partner capital and, from 2028, the loan pay for the 10 new houses.
  • 2030, first full year with 14 houses: ฿12.9M, a 20.8% cash yield on all equity invested. ฿14.5M in 2032 and ฿17.2M in 2036.
  • 2039, loan repaid: cash above a ฿6M reserve is distributed (฿51.6M that year). From then on almost all cash is paid out: ฿32.6M a year by 2046.
  • A payout of 80% or 90% moves the IRR only from 23.3% to 24.0%, but changes how much capital the build needs (฿27.9M vs ฿30.3M). The proposed policy: 85%, plus the surplus cash once debt-free.

  • If the new houses cost ฿7.5M (the average of the first four) instead of ฿6.5M, ฿38.8M of capital would be needed and the IRR would fall to 21.7%. That is why the building contracts will be fixed-price.
  • Stopping at 4 houses is the worst outcome for everyone: an IRR of 15.9%, 7.0× and an average yield of 24.5% instead of 48.0%.
