🇹🇭 Buying Property in Thailand as a Foreigner (Hua Hin vs Phuket) | Hidden Risks, Legal Traps & Real Advice

Buying or renting property in Thailand can be life-changing — but it can also be one of the most expensive mistakes foreigners make if they don’t understand the system.

In this in-depth podcast interview, I sit down with Lewis Murawski, Managing Partner at Kahouze Real Estate in Hua Hin, to break down the real truths about Thai property that most agents, developers, and even lawyers don’t clearly explain.

Lewis has worked hands-on with hundreds of foreign buyers, renters, and investors across Hua Hin and Thailand, and in this conversation he answers the most common (and dangerous) questions foreigners face when buying, renting, or investing.

🎙️ What happens when a post-university backpacking trip turns into a decade-long entrepreneurial journey through Thailand’s tourism & medical industries?

Meet Callum Platt — his story is a masterclass in 💪 resilience, 🔄 adaptation, and finding opportunity where you least expect it.

🌴 From Tourist to Business Owner

In 2013, a young English traveler runs out of money in Thailand and takes bar work on Phi Phi Island. What starts as a quick fix soon grows into multiple thriving businesses — yacht charters, bars, restaurants, and even a health café. For 8 years, life was golden… until COVID-19 shut it all down overnight.

⚡ The Reset That Changed Everything

Instead of giving up, Callum reinvented himself. Moving to Phuket, he focused on health & fitness and built new, more resilient ventures. His wellness path eventually led him to Icellaré Phuket, Thailand’s pioneering stem cell therapy center, where he now bridges international clients with cutting-edge treatments.

🧬 Inside Thailand’s Medical Revolution
This conversation dives deep into treatments few Westerners know exist:

🌱 Autologous stem cell therapy that may prevent surgeries & aid neurological recovery

🧠 Genetic testing to uncover vitamin deficiencies no supplement stack can fix

🏥 World-class medical facilities that feel more like luxury hotels — no long waits, instant specialist access

💡 Who Should Watch

Expats curious about life & opportunity in Thailand 🇹🇭

Anyone passionate about longevity, biohacking, or regenerative medicine

Listeners who love stories of reinvention and turning setbacks into success 🌅

🔥 Whether you're exploring health optimization or just love inspiring real-life journeys, this episode proves that sometimes our biggest setbacks become the gateway to our most meaningful life chapters.
