Billionaire Allan Zeman is ready to move into his dream home - one of the biggest houses in Phuket - before Christmas.
The chairman of Lan Kwai Fong Holdings cast a vote of confidence in the resort island 18 months ago by building the mega house, estimated to cost US$8 million.
In anticipation of a growing property market, Mr Zeman also established a property company there called Paradise Properties, aiming to make a fortune.
Mr Zeman declined to disclose how big his house would be, but he said: 'It's almost like a boutique hotel.'
The huge house project will have 'many villas, spas, a cinema and an Olympic-size swimming pool', according to Mr Zeman.
'It is among the biggest houses in Phuket,' he said, adding that it would be completed in about two months.
