Thailand’s ongoing political problems have failed to halt the first Pattaya Property Show, which starts today and runs until Sunday, July 12.
The event, which takes place at the Hilton Pattaya daily until Sunday, and where DDproperty.com is a proud media partner, has sold out according to show organiser Mike Bridge.
The event has secured more than 50 leading developers and realtors from Pattaya, plus exhibitors representing real estate from Koh Lanta, Rayong and Koh Chang.
Bridge said: “Our Pattaya Property Show is completely sold out despite the political issues in Bangkok, so at least the world has a new real estate exhibition at last.
“Having carefully researched the market, we felt that now was the time to put together a professionally run exhibition in the centre of Pattaya to show case local real estate. It would seem that this has been endorsed by many of the leading developers and realtors, who have now taken space at the Hilton this week.”
Bridge said that there are several factors driving the marketin Pattaya. Many international firms, including Chinese and Japanese blue chip companies, are moving to Rayong and Chonburi and there are several major commercial projects being developed, This is helped by the third phase of the Laem Chabang Port and the expansion of the U-Tapao airport, and promises of a high speed rail link in the future.”
Exhibitors at the show include Raimon Land, Sansiri, Kingdom Property, REBA, The Urban, Ocean Residential Property, Siam Realty, Compass, Porchland, Beach Front, Sands, Nova Group, Siam Royal View, Beach Properties, Elegance, Mosaic, Onyx and the Riviera. Platinum Sponsor is the Universal Group, and Gold Sponsors are Blue Sky and A+ Properties.
The Mayor of Pattaya City, Itthiphol Kunplome, gave a warm welcome the event.
He said: “We are delighted to support this new exhibition which will encourage more buyers and investors to the region. The real estate industry in Pattaya plays a big part in the future plans for the City of Pattaya, as investors in the local economy and also as major employers.
“Pattaya and Jomtien are now competing with Phuket, Hua Hin and Chiang Mai as major resorts investment locations in Thailand.”
