The good and the great of Thailand’s property industry were in the spotlight as the winners of the Thailand Property Awards 2012 were announced in Bangkok on Saturday night,
More than 450 guests celebrated with the winners in 36 categories, for which more than 1,400 nominations were received.
VIP guest, Khun Korn Chatikavanij, Deputy Leader of the Democrat Party, said: “As developers, you should be comfortable in the knowledge that the two main political parties are aligned in their policies regarding the property sector. The property sector is important for the economy as well as for the dreams of the Thai public to own properties.”
Terry Blackburn, CEO of Ensign Media – the organisers of the awards – said: ““The evening was a huge success and it was good to see so many major players in Thai real estate in attendance. I was particularly pleased to see two of the most successful woman in Thai property, Wallapa Traisorat and Tipaporn Chearavanont receive awards in what is traditionally a male dominated industry.”
