PUBLISHER’S CHOICE

PropertyGuru Icon Award

• Henry T. Sy, Jr., Non-Executive Director/Chairman of the Board, SM Prime Holdings Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SM Development Corporation (WINNER)

There’s still progress to be made for broader acceptance of pets in residences, but the efforts of many Thai developers are paving the way for a more pet-inclusive world.

Many pet owners understand something non-pet owners might not: creating a beautiful living environment that accommodates their fur babies is deeply fulfilling. However, pet-owners also recognise that building a pet-friendly home requires effort.

In Bangkok, despite the abundance of modern condos, charming townhouses, and luxury residences, finding pet-friendly options remains a challenge, with many properties still prohibiting pets.

Although pet-restricted properties outnumber those that welcome pets, there is good news for those seeking pet-friendly residences in Thailand. Several upcoming developments by notable developers are becoming more attuned to what it takes to create the perfect pet-friendly spaces that cater to both pets and their owners. These projects have even received recognition for their excellence at the 19th PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards.

Creating pet-centric spaces

While most pets feel at ease in the comfort of their home, cats and dogs benefit from having access to nature. Being familiar with their surroundings helps them function best, but they also need space to explore and stretch their legs outdoors.

The Palm Bangna-Wongwaen2 (Winner, Best Lifestyle Housing Development – Bangkok) by Pruksa Real Estate comes with pet-friendly amenities, offering residents’ pets a place to roam freely. Developed under the “Embrace Flawless Leisure” concept, it features spaces that cater not only to humans but also to their furry companions, including green areas with resting spots for pets.

For those eyeing Pattaya, Ascent (Winner, Best Housing Architectural Design – Eastern Seaboard) by Baan Pattaya (2002) Co., Ltd. is worth considering. The “modern tropical” design of this Eastern Gulf Coast project complements its pet-friendly approach. It includes specially chosen tiles to provide a comfortable walking surface for pets, gentle on their paws for a safer, more enjoyable experience. And with expansive land areas, pets have plenty of space to roam and play freely.

Developing play spaces for fur babies and their families

The concept of a pet park is undeniably inspired. Such dedicated spaces allow pets to walk, play, and socialise with other pet-owning families. Although pet parks can exist within regular parks, dedicated areas specifically catering to pets and their owners are a thoughtful addition.

In residential communities, pet parks offer unique benefits. This can be seen in a project such as the Chiang Mai development mekin HAUS (Winner, Best Residential Development – Chiang Mai) by Sansiri Public Company Limited, which embraces the harmony of humans, nature, and pets. Created to reflect the distinct characteristics of Chiang Mai, the project also champions pet-friendliness.

mekin HAUS’s pet park stands out, even in a nature-rich area like Chiang Mai. Built around a treehouse concept, it provides a natural play environment, incorporating pet-friendly plant species and play structures centred around a feature tree. The park is well-equipped with amenities like water bowl hooks and leash holders, ensuring pets have everything they need for a fun outing.

Being paw-sitively pet-friendly

At some point in the planning process of any development, a decision arises: Will the property be pet-friendly? For Major Development (People’s Choice Award, Top 10 Developer), the answer has often been a resounding yes.

One such example is Metris Ladprao, which spans 1-0-78.1 rai in the Ladprao area, conveniently located near Central Ladprao and Chatuchak Park. Surrounded by various amenities, including those catering to pets, this property welcomes furry companions.

Similarly, Origin Play Sri Udom Station (Highly Commended, Best Affordable Condo Development – Bangkok) by Origin Vertical Corporation Company Limited features pet-friendly gardens and amenities. Located in Udom Suk, Origin Play is an ideal option for those seeking a quieter, hip atmosphere away from the semi-busy On Nut district.

In a city where many condos shun pets, finding a pet-friendly home can feel like a luxury. Sansiri Public Company Limited offers exactly this with its Bangkok development, Narasiri Phahol-Watcharapol (Winner, Best Luxury Housing Development – Bangkok; Best Luxury Housing Landscape Design – Bangkok).

Designed in a “Modern French Renaissance” architectural style, every detail of this luxury development is well thought-out. From its world-class design to its Paris-inspired layout, the standout for pet owners is the project’s pet-friendly garden area, where residents and pets can relax, surrounded by shrubs that seamlessly blend into the landscape.

Just say yes to pets

With thoughtful design, dedicated pet facilities, and a growing understanding of the bond between pets and their owners, the aforementioned developers are setting a new standard for what it means to create a loving home. As more projects embrace this approach, Thailand’s real estate landscape effectively enhances the quality of life for pet owners and demonstrates how communities can welcome all members – whether on two legs or four. 

The allure of any property often lies not just in its location or size but in the captivating ambiance it exudes. Thoughtful interior design, coupled with the use of premium materials, can elevate a space from ordinary to extraordinary, transforming it into a dream living environment.

In this article, we delve into the art of creating exceptional living spaces, exploring the key elements that contribute to a truly luxurious and inviting experience.

The power of layout

A thoughtfully designed layout is essential for any property that aims to stand out in the market. It maximises functionality and flow and enhances the overall appeal, making it more attractive to potential buyers or renters.

Key features of thoughtful layouts include:

Maximising space

A good layout can significantly enhance the livability of a property. By optimising space utilisation, homeowners can create environments that are both functional and inviting. The Richest Valley by SUKPAISARN MAHANAKORN CO.,LTD (Winner, Best Luxury Housing Interior Design – Eastern Seaboard) exemplifies this approach, showcasing interconnected living areas designed to accommodate diverse family activities and promote interaction. At the same time, the layout prioritises privacy with bedrooms separated from common areas.

Promoting natural light and proper ventilation

Natural light and good airflow are essential for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Properties such as the Jaytiya Heritage Collection by Jaytiya Property Company Limited (Winner, Best Luxury Housing Architectural Design Northeast; Best Luxury Housing Interior Design – Northeast; Best Luxury Housing Landscape Design – Northeast) showcase this with ample windows and strategic openings. These features enhance ventilation and flood the interiors with natural light, brightening the spaces and improving energy efficiency by reducing the reliance on artificial lighting.

Additionally, the Jaytiya Heritage Collection features a 6.9-metre double-volume living room that ensures optimal ventilation and heat dissipation. This expansive area creates a grand first impression, blending architectural elegance with practical design.

Facilitating movement

A well-planned layout is essential for ensuring easy movement throughout a property, preventing bottlenecks and congestion. Aquarous Jomtien Pattaya by AssetWise Public Company Limited (Winner, Best Condo Development – Eastern Seaboard; Best Condo Architectural Design – Eastern Seaboard) is a perfect example of this. Inspired by the fluidity of water, the building’s design seamlessly connects communal areas with residential units, ensuring smooth circulation and enhancing the overall flow of the space. Enhancing the appeal is the facility floor, connected by a sky-bridge to all buildings, offering a unique experience that feels like living in a vast underwater world.

Creating distinct zones

Defining different zones within a property is essential for functionality. Properties such as The Standard Residences, Hua Hin by Sansiri Public Company Limited (Winner, Best Condo Development – Hua Hin) and The Palm Residences Pattanakarn by Pruksa Real Estate (Highly Commended, Best Housing Architectural Design – Bangkok) achieve this through their thoughtful layouts that offer dedicated spaces for relaxation, work, and socialising. With distinctly designated zones, homeowners can tailor their living environments to suit various activities and needs.

Providing flexibility

A thoughtful layout should meet current needs while anticipating future changes, offering the flexibility to adapt to evolving lifestyles. Open-plan living and dining spaces, such as those in Villa Solana by Villa Solana (Winner, Best Ultra Luxury Holiday Villa Development – Samui) exemplify this adaptability. These expansive, multi-functional areas allow homeowners to easily reconfigure their space to suit different needs, whether for entertaining guests, creating work from home setups, or adapting to the needs of a growing family.

Integrating indoor and outdoor spaces 

Seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces can enhance the overall living experience. The Title Serenity Naiyang by Rhom Bho Property Public Company Limited (Winner, Best Luxury Condo Architectural Design – Phuket) employs this concept with its oceanic design, creating a strong connection between the indoors and the stunning natural surroundings. Outdoor relaxation areas, such as private gardens and balconies, expand the living space and provide residents with tranquil retreats.

The importance of premium materials 

The use of premium materials, such as those features in Utopia Dream (U2) by Utopia Corporation Co., Ltd. (Highly Commended, Best Luxury Condo Interior Design – Phuket), is essential in creating luxurious, lasting living spaces. These materials enhance the aesthetic appeal while significantly improving the property’s durability and functionality.

Some examples of premium materials include:

Natural stone

Materials such as marble, granite, and limestone are timeless choices for flooring, countertops, and accent features. These stones add elegance and sophistication while being both durable and low-maintenance.

For instance, Gardens Of Eden by Amal Group of Companies (Winner, Best Condo Architectural Design – Phuket) incorporates locally-sourced granite to create a sustainable and luxurious feel. Meanwhile, Aquarous Jomtien Pattaya uses special blue marble and green marble to create a unique and immersive ocean-inspired atmosphere, while The Palm Residences Watcharapol by Pruksa Real Estate (Winner, The Palm Residences Watcharapol by Pruksa Real Estate) uses Arabescato marble to heighten its elegance.

High-quality wood 

High-quality timber adds warmth and character to a space, so consider using hardwood flooring, cabinetry, and accent pieces. For example, Chandra by Idea Development (Winner, Best Housing Architectural Design – Samui) incorporates furniture made from local hard and medium wood to create a cosy, rural lodge ambiance. Similarly, the aforementioned Gardens of Eden features carbon-negative timber cladding, paying homage to Thailand’s traditional teak houses.

Custom-made elements

Bespoke elements lend a property its unique identity, guaranteeting that each space is tailored to individual needs. At The Palm Residences Watcharapol, custom cabinetry and furniture reflect a blend of timeless style and sophistication. The Title Serenity Naiyang stands out with its sailboat-shaped clubhouse, an iconic architectural landmark. Meanwhile, the Gardens of Eden incorporates local textiles like batik fabric to craft original artworks and accessories, adding a distinctive cultural touch to the development.

Thoughtful layouts and premium materials are the cornerstones of exceptional living spaces. By carefully considering these elements, developers can create properties that not only appeal to buyers but also provide a lasting and enjoyable living experience. A well-designed home becomes more than just a structure – it becomes a sanctuary where one can relax, rejuvenate, and embrace the finer things in life.

Bangkok is rapidly becoming a hub for luxurious living, with cutting-edge facilities that redefine urban life.

Modern developments in the city are not just offering apartments but complete living experiences that cater to wellness, security, and leisure needs. Homeowners and investors are particularly attracted to properties that provide these future-proof amenities, ensuring both comfort and a high return on investment.

In this article, we explore some of the city’s most highly anticipated developments that are raising the bar with innovative, next-level facilities, each recognised as a winner or highly commended at the 19th PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards.

Elevating the mind and body

As urban dwellers increasingly prioritise wellness, more and more property developers in Bangkok are carving out spaces that promote holistic health and well-being.

ROMM Convent by Proud Real Estate Public Company Limited (Winner, Best Leisure Facilities Development) sets the bar high with its six floors of health-focused amenities. Residents can unwind in the Family Onsen, enjoy the calming beauty of the Sensory Garden, and stay active in the Fitlab Café or Wellness Lounge. For added peace of mind, ROMM Convent provides 24/7 healthcare access through partnerships with BNH Hospital and the BeDee application.

Solace Condo Phahol-Pradipat by Preeda Real Estate Co., Ltd. (Winner, Best Mid End Condo Development – Bangkok) is a wellness sanctuary for those seeking a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Its Therapeutic Plunge Pool is a tranquil space for low-impact exercise and hydrotherapy, while the Pilates and Yoga Room features serene settings for mindful practices, promoting physical strength and mental clarity.

For ultimate relaxation, residents at Solace can indulge in the Private Onsen, a peaceful retreat with natural mineral waters. In addition, the on-site Spa and Beauty Salon offers luxurious treatments, while the Jacuzzi provides a tranquil escape with breathtaking sunset views. To reconnect with nature, residents can explore the Urban Farm and Sky Forest Walkway.

Smart security for safer living

Security is becoming a foremost concern for many homeowners, so Bangkok’s latest developments are increasingly adopting cutting-edge systems to boost safety.

PINE Wellness Residence Prachachuen by Pruksa Real Estate Public Company Limited (Winner, Best Wellness Housing Development – Bangkok) boasts a comprehensive AI-powered security system, which includes CCTV cameras monitoring common areas, emergency call buttons, and window anti-theft alarms. This advanced system sends real-time notifications to security personnel, ensuring a swift response to any potential threats.

To fortify security, Solace Condo Phahol-Pradipat integrates facial recognition technology into its tower parking system to offer secure yet seamless access to common areas for residents.

Leisure at your fingertips

Leisure facilities are becoming a key differentiator in Bangkok’s new residential projects. Developers are moving beyond traditional amenities such as pools and gyms to create unique leisure environments that cater to diverse interests and lifestyles. These thoughtfully designed spaces promote relaxation, socialisation, and recreation, enabling residents to enjoy a high-quality living experience without ever having to leave their buildings.

Solace Condo Phahol-Pradipat is a great example of this trend with its various high-end leisure facilities. The Skyline Lounge is a luxurious space where residents can relax while enjoying panoramic views of the city, making it perfect for social gatherings, casual relaxation, or even working remotely. Catering to modern interests, the development also includes a podcast studio where content creators and digital nomads can record and edit their work. Additionally, the Social Bar offers a laid-back atmosphere for residents to network and socialise to develop a sense of community within the building.

At The Title Legendary Bang-Tao, the centrepiece is the Enchanted Oasis, which features a beach-themed pool, a forest-inspired pool, and a 30-metre lap pool, blending exercise with relaxation. The poolside bar and children’s playground make it a family-friendly destination where everyone can enjoy nature-themed leisure activities.

ESCENT Bangna by Central Pattana Residence Co., Ltd (Winner, Best Wellness Housing Development – Bangkok) creates a more tranquil setting with its inner court and open lawn, ideal for picnics or casual outdoor activities. The lush greenery along the building’s façade enhances the urban setting, providing a refreshing retreat within the city.

For those seeking more luxurious leisure options, NANTAWAN Bangna km 15 (Highly Commended, Best Luxury Housing Development – Bangkok) and VIVE Bangna km 13 by Land and Houses Public Company Limited (Winner, Best Housing Architectural Design – Bangkok) stand out. These developments feature opulent clubhouses with swimming pools, home automation systems, and spacious living areas, creating a seamless blend of modern technology and high-end leisure for maximum comfort.

At Lake Forest Perfect Place by Property Perfect Pcl (Winner, Best Waterfront Housing Development – Bangkok), residents enjoy amenities designed with both leisure and sustainability in mind. Electric vehicle chargers and smart mirrors in the restrooms showcase how technology is integrated into everyday life, while the development’s focus on eco-conscious living makes it an attractive choice for forward-thinking residents.

Finally, Esta Serenity Boromratchachonnani by AssetWise Public Company Limited (Winner, Best Housing Development – Greater Bangkok; Winner, Best Housing Architectural Design – Greater Bangkok) has a comprehensive range of leisure options, including a clubhouse with a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a half-Olympic-sized saltwater swimming pool, and a semi-outdoor co-living space designed for social interaction. Families will appreciate the playground and the peaceful green spaces of Serenity Park and River View Park, where residents can relax and connect with nature.

As Thailand’s residential landscape evolves, developers are increasingly focused on creating projects that offer not just luxurious living but also focuses on the well-being, security, and leisure needs of residents. By investing in properties equipped with these next-level facilities, you can secure your investment and enjoy an exceptional lifestyle.

With each new structure, it becomes evident that Thai architecture holds more depth and complexity than what meets the eye.

Throughout Thailand, there’s a dazzling array of gleaming wats, majestic palaces, and a blend of both classical and modern residences. Bangkok, in particular, is not just a thriving business district but also a vibrant architectural showcase. From malls adorned with flickering lights to residential complexes that push the boundaries of traditional design, the city’s skyline is a testament to both innovation and cultural heritage.

But there’s far more to Thai architecture than what’s immediately visible. Here’s a look at some of the country’s most stunning projects, all of which were winners and highly commended at the 19th PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards.

Architectural mélange in Bangkok

Bangkok’s architectural narrative is a mix of past, present, and future, with mixed-use developments, residences, and office towers all competing for visual space. Mixed-use spaces – which combine residential, office, retail, medical, recreational, and industrial components – fit especially well into the cityscape.

Gaysorn Village (Winner, Best Mixed Use Development), by Gaysorn Property Co., Ltd., exemplifies this fusion of architectural styles. This ‘village’ showcases a mix of Western aesthetics with distinctively Thai architectural touches. Comprising Gaysorn Centre and Gaysorn Amarin (Winner, Best Retail Development), Gaysorn Village has a cohesive design inspired by postmodern elements. The village’s interior incorporates the ‘Cocoon’ design language, which aims to convey a unified and immersive experience for visitors.

The redesign of Gaysorn Amarin (formerly Amarin Plaza) preserves iconic elements such as the spiral staircase, ionic columns, Roman façade, skylight, and forum. These features, updated with modern interpretations, breathe new life into the shopping and office building complex in the heart of Ratchaprasong.

Precision and form in contemporary Thai architecture

Modernist and contemporary architecture are known for their clean lines, geometric shapes, and innovative use of space. Emphasising minimalism, these styles merge form and function, with bold, angular designs that challenge traditional norms. While modernist buildings often feature rectangular shapes and sharp angles, some elements of contemporary architecture introduce flowing lines and organic elements to create a sense of movement.

While these modernist and contemporary styles are prevalent worldwide, Bangkok’s architectural scene uniquely combines these influences with the city’s traditional landmarks.

At the bustling intersection of Sukhumvit and Ekkamai Roads, APAC Tower (Winner, Best Office Development, Best Office Architectural Design, Best Office Interior Design, Best Office Landscape Design) will soon rise in the city’s Central Business District. As the first office building in the area to achieve the prestigious Fitwel 3-star rating, APAC Tower epitomises precision and modernity. Its rectangular prism shape shows structure and precision, a theme carried throughout the building, from its sharp angles to its distinctive serrated façade.

Similarly, the understated appeal of modern design is evident in Piman Group’s Portrait Mittraphap (Highly Commended, Best Luxury Housing Architectural Design – Northeast). This Khon Kaen development embraces purely modern architectural elements, offering a refined style for homeowners seeking elegance in their abode.

Thai grandeur and European elegance

Visitors to Thailand can marvel at historic palaces alongside modern landmarks such as The Elephant Tower, the Robot Building (Bank of Asia Tower), and King Power MahaNakhon. Throughout the country, there’s a fascinating mix of structures – whether commercial, residential, or royal - that appeal to every taste.

It’s no wonder, then, that developments such as The Palazzo Pinklao – BOROM and The Palazzo Krungthep-Kreetha by AP (Thailand) Public Company Limited, fit naturally into the cityscape. These residences are designed with European influences, particularly in their palazzo-inspired façades.

The Palazzo Pinklao – BOROM (Winner – Best Luxury Housing Architectural Design – Bangkok), designed by At Forty Architects, reinterprets classical elements to create a fascinating front. Its unconventional design is marked by hip and gable roof styles, with a contrasting olive green and classic gray color scheme that highlights its European features.

Meanwhile, The Palazzo Krungthep-Kreetha (Highly Commended, Best Ultra Luxury Housing Interior Design – Bangkok) integrates classical European design, characterised by a continuous horizontal hipped roof that gracefully spans the building’s elevations. Double-height arched portals and decorative wrought iron accents on the façade echo the elegance of classic European buildings.

Another European-inspired project is the upcountry development Casa Vacanza Khaoyai (Winner, Best Housing Development – Khao Yai) by KPN Residence Company. This Mediterranean-style villa brings a fresh touch to the Thai housing scene, offering future residents a combination of character, elegance, and comfort.

Classic lines, future vibes

There’s timeless architectural style, and then there’s retro-futuristic architecture, which transcends period designation and defies most trends. Retro-futuristic architecture mixes design elements from earlier decades with what architects at the time envisioned as futuristic. The result is a style that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking — in other words, designs that seem to exist outside of time.

This concept is nicely captured in The Standard Residences, Phuket Bang Tao (Winner, Best Branded Residential Development) by CG Capital Advisory Limited. Designed by Creative Crew architects, the residence draws inspiration from classic Thai architecture and merges it with a modern aesthetic. Clean lines and curved surfaces, reminiscent of mid-century design, harmonise with Bang Tao’s lush landscape. The aim is to create a look for the project that gazes at the past while setting its sights on the future of Phuket leisure.

Greek and Roman influences in Thai design

Grandeur of scale, simple geometric shapes, distinctive Doric detailing, and dramatic use of columns are hallmarks of Neoclassical architecture. Drawing inspiration from ancient Greece and Rome, this timeless style has made its mark on Thai shores as well.

JBAS ARCHITECTS masterfully fuses Greek, Roman, and modern influences in conceptualising The City Rama5-Nakhon In (Winner, Best Mid-End Housing Development – Bangkok), an AP Limited development. The Nonthaburi project will feature modern Neoclassical concepts, with a refined interpretation of Doric elements from classical Greek and Roman architecture.

Building with nature: The art of bioclimatic and material design

While classical and European-inspired architecture highlight aesthetics, bioclimatic design prioritises ecological balance. Bioclimatic architecture focuses on materials and products chosen for their environmental impact and the way they interact with their surroundings, aiming to develop spaces that support both wellness and sustainability.

Consider the design of QAV Residence (Winner, Best Wellness Residential Development – Phuket) by RD Property Development Co., Ltd. The development elegantly combines Balinese aesthetics with carefully integrated bioclimatic elements. Far from the typical air-conditioned ‘box’ of most structures today, this upcoming Phuket residence artfully weaves Balinese architecture, contemporary design elements, and eco-friendly principles into a harmonious whole.

Sansiri Public Company Limited, meanwhile, takes a different approach with THE TALES (Winner, Best Luxury Housing Architectural Design – Phuket). Here, the emphasis is on using materials such as genuine wood and natural stone to blend the residence seamlessly with its natural surroundings. The development integrates layers of natural elements to reflect Thai identity and create a luxurious yet nature-centric living experience.

Thailand’s luxury residential market is thriving, and homeowners and investors are demanding more than ever from these premium properties. Prime locations and high-end materials are no longer sufficient to satisfy them. Today, luxury is about creating an exceptional living experience that combines comfort, convenience, and innovation.

Let’s explore how high-end residences in Thailand are evolving to meet these rising expectations.

Modern amenities in high-end residences

Affluent buyers now expect residences to seamlessly integrate with their lifestyles, and developers are responding by offering a range of cutting-edge facilities, including state-of-the-art fitness centres, private cinemas, rooftop pools, and 24-hour concierge services. SO Origin Bangtao Beach by SO Origin Bangtao Beach (Highly Commended, Best Luxury Condo Development – Phuket) exemplifies this trend with their luxurious amenities that capture the essence of Bangtao Beach. Their resort-style lobby, sand yard, swimming pool, fitness clubhouse, rooftop garden, and sunset lounge offer residents a tranquil and indulgent experience.

Notably, more and more Thai developers are shifting from simply providing luxurious amenities to enhancing the overall living experience. Mulberry Grove Sukhumvit (Highly commended: Best Luxury Condo Development – Bangkok, Best Luxury Condo Architectural Design – Bangkok) by Magnolia Quality Development Corporation Limited offers spa and massage rooms, as well as intergenerational pools, ensuring that all family members can enjoy the amenities.

Meanwhile, CINQ ROYAL Krungthep Kreetha by Asset Five Group PCL (Winner, Best Ultra Luxury Housing Development – Bangkok) caters to pet-loving families by allowing furry friends to enjoy all the communal facilities, except the swimming pool.

Collaboration with luxury hotels

An emerging trend in Thailand’s luxury property market is the collaboration between residential developers and renowned hotel brands. These partnerships allow residential buildings to offer the same level of service and prestige as five-star hotels. By associating their properties with internationally recognised hotel brands, developers can attract buyers who are familiar with the sky-high standards of these establishments.

A prime example is Major Development (Winner, People’s Choice Awards, Top 10 Developers), which is venturing further into the luxury market. In July 2024, Major Development signed a joint venture contract with Mori Trust, a Japanese real estate developer specialising in hotels and resorts, to develop Malton Gates Krungthep Kreetha II. This high-end single-detached housing project combines the expertise of both developers, promising a luxury living experience inspired by the service and hospitality of world-class hotels.

Similarly, the premium part of Layan Verde by Layan Best View Company Limited (Highly commended: Best Luxury Condo Development – Phuket) is managed by the Dusit International hotel brand. This gives residents access to top-tier services, including trained staff and world-class dining and leisure facilities.

Open spaces and privacy

High-end residences in Thailand are increasingly focused on creating a harmonious balance between spaciousness and privacy. Modern designs often feature expansive, open-plan layouts that maximise natural light and provide a sense of openness.

However, privacy remains a top priority for many buyers, especially in densely populated urban areas. To address this, developers are incorporating innovative architectural features such as wrap-around windows, private terraces, and strategically placed walls that create secluded spaces within the home. Additionally, external spaces such as private gardens, rooftop decks, and personal swimming pools are becoming standard amenities in luxury developments.

Kiara Reserve by Minor International and Kajima (Winner, Best Ultra Luxury Residential Development – Phuket) is a prime example of this trend. Nestled amidst lush landscapes overlooking Layan Bay, this development combines the privacy of a secluded residence with the amenities of a five-star resort. Their open floor plans and natural materials blur the lines between the living space and the surrounding beauty.

Sea Central by Yadalong Property (Highly Commended, Best Luxury Housing Architectural Design – Phuket) is another example. This prestigious enclave comprises just six unique villas, each boasting a generous expanse of up to 650 square metres.

The role of technology in luxury living

Technology is rapidly becoming a key feature in Thailand’s luxury residences. High-end developments such as The Extro Rangnam by Singha Estate (Winner, Best Luxury Condo Development – Bangkok, Best Luxury Condo Development – Bangkok, Best Luxury Condo Architectural Design – Bangkok, Best Condo Development – Thailand) are now equipped with the latest in smart home technology. This technology empowers residents to control everything from lighting and temperature to entertainment systems with a simple tap on their smartphones.

Mulberry Grove Sukhumvit offers an additional level of luxury with their advanced parking system. Residents can receive parking and reporting results directly on their mobile phones, so they can rest easy knowing their cars are parked safely. For added convenience, residents can request a car to wait for them at the lobby, arriving precisely ten minutes before their departure.

Green living and sustainability

The growing environmental awareness has fueled a demand for eco-friendly features in luxury residences. Developers are responding by incorporating energy-efficient systems and sustainable materials into their projects.

For example, Zensiri Midtown Villas by Ess Developments (Winner, Best Luxury Investment Villa Development – Eastern Seaboard, Best Urban Villa Development – Eastern Seaboard, Best Luxury Villa Architectural Design – Eastern Seaboard) harnesses solar energy to power their clubhouse, fitness centre, swimming pool system, jacuzzi, garden irrigation system, and lighting systems.

Similarly, BuGaan Pattanakarn by Sansiri Public Company Limited (Winner, Best Ultra Luxury Boutique Housing Development – Bangkok, Best Ultra Luxury Housing Architectural Design – Bangkok, Best Ultra Luxury Housing Interior Design – Bangkok, Best Housing Development – Thailand) features a 3.3-kilowatt solar roof system on each home. It will also have electric vehicle chargers to support the growing popularity of eco-friendly transportation.

Moreover, Sudara by Princess Villa Ltd. and Lan Kwai Fong Group (Winner, Best Luxury Condo Development – Phuket, Best Sales Gallery Architectural Design) has dedicated rainwater and waste recycling systems to repurpose water for landscape irrigation.​ To promote natural ventilation and reduce energy consumption, Sudara incorporates passive cooling features in their public areas and corridors. They also use recycled composite timber-look cladding as one of their building materials.

This shift towards sustainability not only benefits the environment but also enhances the long-term value of the property.

The future of luxury residences in Thailand

As Thailand’s high-end real estate market grows, developers will face increasing pressure to innovate in design, amenities, and services. Future developments are likely to place greater emphasis on personalisation, advanced technology, and sustainability to meet the evolving tastes of affluent buyers.

Inclusive design is gradually becoming a fundamental commitment for Thai developers, ultimately aimed at creating better living conditions for everyone.

In Thailand, progress has been made towards creating more inclusive living environments. The Persons with Disabilities Empowerment Act of 2007 mandates home modifications for persons with disabilities, supporting the initiative for inclusive home designs. However, stronger enforcement of this policy is still sorely required.

But the goal is clear: every individual, regardless of age, ability, or physical condition, should be able to live comfortably in their home. Fortunately, many Thai developers are embracing inclusive design principles, with several award-winning developments leading the way.

[The developments and developers mentioned in this article are winners and highly commended at the 19th PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards.]

What defines inclusive design?

Inclusive design is an approach that prioritises accessibility and comfort for people of all ages and abilities. Its aim is to eliminate barriers that result in unnecessary exertion for differently-abled individuals, making sure they can go about their daily activities with ease and dignity. An inclusive home is designed to be functional for everyone and considers both the present and future needs of its residents.

Luckily, more and more developers are taking note. For example, in Redwood Luxury’s development, ONE Residence: Lakeside (Winner, Best Lifestyle Housing Development - Phuket; Winner, Best Luxury Housing Architectural Design - Phuket, Winner – Best Luxury Housing Landscape Design – Phuket), no element of inclusive design is overlooked. Barrier-free entrances, accessible bathrooms with roll-in showers, grab bars, and non-slip flooring ensure safety and ease of use. The interior spaces are also designed with open-plan layouts and high ceilings, offering ample room for residents who use mobility aids.

Inclusive design touches should extend across the entire property, including essential and leisure amenities such as parking spaces, clubhouses, and other facilities. As an example, Princess Villa Ltd. and Lan Kwai Fong Group have ensured accessibility throughout their development, Sudara (Winner, Best Luxury Condo Development – Phuket, Best Sales Gallery Architectural Design). Its notable features include designated parking near the main lobbies to accommodate wheelchairs, elevated road crossings for easy wheelchair access, and wide corridors and doorways to facilitate movement.

Similarly, AssetWise Public Company Limited accounted for ease of access in designing The Honor Yothinpattana (Highly Commended, Best Luxury Housing Development – Bangkok). Some of the development’s noteworthy facilities, including its centrepiece landscape feature, ‘The Honor Park,’ and its clubhouses, are laid out for universal accessibility so that residents of all abilities can fully enjoy every space.

Universal design: The safety principle 

Universal design principles focus on making spaces usable and safe for every individual, whether they have current mobility challenges or may develop them in the future. By addressing both present and future needs, these designs prevent residents from struggling in spaces with unnavigable layouts. More importantly, universal design principles help prevent the risks associated with poorly structured spaces.

When a property follows these principles, it incorporates features that clearly demonstrate accessibility was a priority from the very beginning.

Wheelchair ramps: Elevating accessibility 

Wheelchair ramps are non-negotiable when it comes to creating environments where everyone can move freely. These ramps remove physical barriers so that individuals with mobility challenges can navigate spaces with ease. Ramps also benefit a wide range of people, including parents with strollers, those with injuries, or even delivery personnel with heavy carts.

Many developments acknowledge ramps’ critical function, including Rhom Bho Property Public Company Limited (Phuket)’s The Title Heritage Bang-Tao (Winner, Best Luxury Condo Interior Design – Phuket). Strategically placed ramps throughout the luxury development ensure convenience for senior citizens and wheelchair users. In a high-end development like this, other inclusive features are given equal weight, including slip-resistant flooring, step-free level surfaces, shower seats in bathrooms, and universal access toilets and elevators. 

Accessible living spaces: Independence meets comfort

The accessibility of any residence isn’t simply a question of getting through the front door. More so, it’s about empowering individuals with disabilities and/or aging residents to live without limitations within the property.

Villas, in particular, exemplify this design principle by providing not only ample space but also design elements that promote easy movements. Their larger layouts allow for open floor plans, while features such as step-free entrances and wide doorways ensure that accessibility is built into the very foundation of the home.

A prime example is AAG Development Co., Ltd. (Phuket)’s Naturale Phuket Luxury Pool Villa (Winner, Best Luxury Housing/Villa Development – Phuket, Best Health-Inspired Development; Highly Commended – Best Luxury Housing Architectural Design – Phuket). This villa development puts accessibility at the centre, featuring step-free entrances, wide doorways, and open layouts that cater to the mobility needs of senior citizens and persons with disabilities. Its other commendable features include double master bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms with anti-slip flooring and walk-in showers. The villas also come with integrated services such as housekeeping and maintenance, rounding out the luxurious, worry-free living experience it promises future residents.

Mental health support: Beyond physical accessibility 

Some developments take universal accessibility a step further by incorporating features that address not just physical well-being but mental health as well. KingsSquare Residence (Winner, Best Green Development; Highly Commended for Best Wellness Residential Development) by KING SQUARE DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. (Winner, Sustainable Design Award) is a good example. Besides its accessibility features, KingsSquare has introduced a mental health therapy programme, designed in line with Fitwel standards, which aims to promote emotional and psychological well-being, particularly for senior residents.

Such therapy courses allow residents to participate in guided mental health sessions, offering support for stress management, cognitive health, and emotional resilience. By integrating mental health care into their wellness amenities, KingsSquare has offered residents an evironment that allows them to nurture both their physical and mental health.

Building inclusive communities 

The essence of inclusive design also lies in how well a property fosters a sense of community. Developments that thoughtfully integrate features promoting accessibility, community engagement, and convenience are vital to creating truly inclusive living spaces.

A great example of this is LPN Development PCL (Winner, People’s Choice Awards, Top 10 Developer), whose properties consider close proximity to essential services like schools, retail centres, and hospitals. Their properties make it convenient for residents to easily reach amenities and services that make everyday living feel effortless. 

Sansiri Public Company Limited receives Third Best Developer TITLE as established and emerging companies from Bangkok to Phuket showcase diverse projects.

PropertyGuru Group (NYSE:PGRU), Southeast Asia’s leading property technology company, today announced the winners of the 19th Annual PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards. The event was presented by Mitsubishi Elevator (Thailand) and supported by SEN X Group and V-ZUG Thailand.

The long-running real estate awards programme, in collaboration with Thailand’s leading property portals, DDproperty.com and ThinkOfLiving.com, celebrated the kingdom’s best real estate at The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok.

In recent years, Thailand’s luxury resort residential market has continued to adapt to the evolving demands of affluent investors.

Post-pandemic, there has been a marked increase in the desire for high-end resort residences that offer not just a place to stay, but a unrivalled lifestyle experience.

This trend is particularly evident in sought-after destinations like Phuket, where the blend of natural beauty and luxury amenities continues to attract discerning investors and homeowners.

Indeed, there is a growing emphasis on properties that provide an amalgamation of privacy, exclusive services, and top-tier amenities. Developments are increasingly incorporating elements of wellness, sustainability, and smart technology, catering to a clientele that values both luxury and holistic living.

These trends reflect a broader shift in the luxury real estate market, where buyers are seeking properties that offer more than just opulence-they’re looking for a comprehensive lifestyle and wellness package.

Thailand’s high-end condominium market is undergoing a renaissance encapsulated by the ever-growing desire for luxury living spaces.

This burgeoning interest is attributed to a confluence of factors including robust economic growth, attractive low interest rates, and government policies favourable to foreign investment.

Venturing into 2024, the market continues its upward trajectory, with a discernible shift towards high-quality properties featuring added amenities in the middle and elite segments. This evolution mirrors the rising living standards among affluent locals and the active attraction of foreign investors.

In line with global trends, modern buildings in Thailand are increasingly adopting sustainable features like solar panels and energy-efficient lighting systems, making these properties attractive investments for both local and international buyers with a penchant for eco-conscious living.

The project’s location near major attractions like Central Phuket adds to its allure, positioning it as a prime destination for those seeking an urban lifestyle with beachside vibes.

As Thailand’s landed residences continue to embrace innovation and environmental consciousness, the allure of suburban and rural living grows stronger.

The market’s evolution, driven by a mix of economic factors, changing consumer preferences, and significant foreign investment, set the stage for a diverse range of housing opportunities​​​​​​.

The pandemic has reshaped consumer preferences significantly, with a growing expectation that homes combine the comfort of extra office space and the tranquillity of outdoor areas. This shift is also reflected in the rising popularity of sustainable and eco-friendly communities, which are becoming the new norm in residential real estate throughout the country.

Foreign investment is also playing a pivotal role with international buyers once again showing a keen interest in locales like Pattaya, Khao Yai and Hua Hin. This influx, fueled by Thailand’s recovery post-pandemic, marks the country as an attractive investment hub on the global map.

With this in mind, here are five of the most appealing villas and landed residences within proximity of Bangkok, each offering a unique blend of luxury, style, and connectivity, catering to those seeking the tranquillity of suburban living with easy access to the Thai capital.

As Bangkok’s skyline transforms, so do the aspirations of its residents. And in a post-pandemic world, the city’s real estate landscape is adapting to new demands and desires.

There’s a noticeable shift towards low-rise housing in Bangkok, reflecting a growing preference for more spacious, adaptable, and private living spaces. This trend is more than a mere aesthetic shift; it signifies a deeper change in lifestyle preferences, with a heightened demand for homes that offer functionality, privacy, open green spaces, wellness amenities, and advanced technological features.

In response, developers in Bangkok are keenly focusing on launching low-rise housing developments. They are also strategically clearing existing inventories in the downtown condo market, paving the way for fresh projects tailored to current market needs, especially in the latter half of the year.

From the ultra-modern 95E1 by SC Asset Corporation PLC to the serene Park Heritage Pattanakarn, and from the innovative designs of The Arbor Donmueang-Chaengwatthana to the elegant Cherea Vicinity Ratchaphruek-Jetsadabodin, here are some of the latest high-profile properties standing out in a city that’s constantly evolving.

In the heart of Bangkok, the Nirvana COLLECTION Krungthep Kreetha stands out for its unique blend of luxury and artistry.

This eco-style award-winning project stands out with its extensive communal green spaces, including gardens, parks, and outdoor exercise areas, fostering a healthy, active lifestyle.

The development features a playground, jogging track, and basketball court, catering to all age groups. Each home is enhanced with front-facing greenery, allowing residents to enjoy their own natural space. Located near Rangsit, Baan GreenHaus offers easy access to major transport routes, balancing city connectivity with tranquillity.

Developed by Pruksa Real Estate, Baan GreenHaus also exemplifies a community focused on environmental sustainability and family-friendly amenities, which bagged it Best Affordable Housing Landscape Design 2023 at the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards. 

Despite global economic uncertainties, Thailand’s commercial real estate sector remains resilient, as evidenced by the robust development of state-of-the-art commercial properties across Bangkok and its outskirts in recent years.

A driving trend is the integration of eco-friendly features and wellness-focused amenities, a response to the growing demand for sustainable and health-conscious work environments. According to JLL Thailand, there has been a notable increase in green commercial buildings, with developers prioritising energy efficiency and environmental impact in their projects.

AIA East Gateway and KingBridge Tower, both recognised at the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards 2023, are prime examples of this shift towards sustainable design and well-being. The EmSphere Shopping Complex, blending luxury retail with eco-conscious technologies, and Salaya One, a mixed-use development catering to a diverse demographic, further underline the market’s dynamic evolution.

The country’s commercial real estate market is not just surviving; it’s thriving, innovating, and setting new benchmarks in sustainability and architectural excellence.

1. AIA East Gateway by AIA Company Limited

AIA East Gateway reimagines the concept of office towers in Bangkok’s Bangna district, a key gateway to Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor.

Completed in January 2023 and spanning 16,000 square metres, with a gross floor area of 136,000 square metres, this development stands out with its flood-control water garden and energy-efficient sun-shading fins, plus fitness-forward amenities like running tracks and swimming pools. Designed to promote active, healthy lifestyles and community engagement, the project successfully incorporates lush greenery and spacious communal areas.

The developer’s approach led to recognition at the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards 2023, earning accolades including Best Well-Being Office Development and Special Recognition in ESG.

2. KingBridge Tower by KingBridge Tower Company Limited (Saha Pathana Inter-Holding Public Company Limited)

KingBridge Tower stands as a landmark development in Bangkok’s upscale Yannawa district. This office tower, designed by Architect 49 Co.Ltd., covers an area of 10,198 square metres, with a gross floor area of 85,500 square metres.

Scheduled for completion by December 2024, KingBridge Tower is distinguished by its sustainable design and innovative features, earning it the Best Office Development and Best Sustainable Development awards at the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards 2023.

The development also incorporates advanced energy-saving systems, solar cells on the podium rooftop, and a focus on environmentally friendly materials, representing a significant step in sustainable commercial architecture​​.

3. The EmSphere Shopping Complex by The EM District Co., Ltd.

The EmSphere Shopping Complex is the latest luxury addition to Bangkok’s ever-burgeoning high-end retail scene. Spanning 200,000 square feet in Bangkok’s Phrom Phrong district, EmSphere combines industrial chic with lifestyle and entertainment amenities.

These include boutique and high-end brands, including IKEA, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and many more, alongside affordable fashion options like Zara and H&M. The latest addition to the shopping district dubbed EmDistrict also supports emerging fashion talents, as well as boasting a multiplex cinema and kid-friendly areas.

EmSphere’s dedication to environmental sustainability, meanwhile, shines through its energy-efficient technologies and optimised ventilation systems. This blend of luxury, accessibility, and eco-consciousness led to its recognition as the Best Retail Development, and The EM District Co., Ltd. bagging Best Retail Developer at the 2023 PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards.

4. Salaya One by Menam Development Co., Ltd

Salaya One by Menam Development is tailored for the diverse community of Nakhon Pathom, especially the booming student population. This green, mixed-use project within easy reach of Mahidol University features condominiums, a hotel, a female dormitory, and a mall.

It is designed to offer a wide range of amenities, including an infinity pool, expansive co-living spaces, a coworking dome, and retail options. Eco-friendly elements like EV charging stations highlight its sustainable focus.

Set for completion in January 2023, it earned the Best Boutique Mixed Use Development trophy at last year’s PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards for its comprehensive approach to contemporary, eco-conscious living.

Thailand’s real estate market in 2023 was a landscape of growth and transformation, shaped by diverse factors like ongoing urbanisation, technological advances and shifting consumer behaviours.

In particular, the sector is experiencing a significant shift due to increased demand for homes with additional office space and outdoor areas, a response to the rise of remote work. This shift in work culture has also fuelled interest in properties in suburban and rural areas where there’s a preference for more space, lower costs, and less dense living environments.

Smart home technology and sustainability are also at the forefront of residential property development. Homeowners are showing a growing interest in energy-efficient homes, prompting developers to integrate sustainable features like solar panels and energy-efficient appliances into their projects.

Leading the charge in responding to these trends are award-winning developers like Sena Development, The Riviera Group, PATTA Development, PNP Real Estate, and Phuket Exclusive Development. Their focus on innovative design, sustainability, and community-oriented projects positions them as key players in shaping Thailand’s residential real estate market in 2024 and beyond.

1. Sena Development

Sena Development Public Company Limited, initially established in 1993 as Krungthep Keha Group Co., Ltd., has become one of the most recognisable names in Thailand’s real estate sector.

The Stock Exchange of Thailand-listed firm’s diverse portfolio includes condominiums, townhouses, detached housing estates, live-work spaces and commercial properties.

Initially focusing on the lower- to middle-income segment, Sena expanded into higher-end developments in 2015.

Notable company brands include SENA Avenue, SENA Park, SENA Shop House, SENA Ville, The Kith, and The Niche. In 2017, Sena received the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Award for Best High-Rise Affordable Condo Development (Bangkok) for The Niche Pride Thonglor-Phetchaburi.

All of these projects reflect the company’s innovative approach. These properties combine sustainable design principles with the demands of modern urban living, showcasing the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility.

Sena’s social responsibility initiative, “Join Our Dream House”, meanwhile, demonstrates its broader commitment beyond business metrics.

In 2023, the firm cemented its ascent in Thailand’s real estate industry, taking home an inaugural Best Developer (Thailand) trophy at the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards.

2. The Riviera Group

With projects that offer a blend of luxury and innovative design, the company has carved a niche in developing high-quality condominiums in Pattaya.

The Riviera Monaco, The Riviera Wongamat Beach, and The Riviera Ocean Drive are all prime examples, with a contemporary architectural aesthetic that complements the Eastern Seaboard’s evolving skyline.

The group’s endeavours have been consistently acknowledged at the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards, with accolades including Best Condo Development (Eastern Seaboard) in 2022, 2020, 2018, and 2013. In 2023, The Riviera Group was again recognised with the Best Developer (Eastern Seaboard) award.

Beyond its architectural accomplishments, The Riviera Group is also known for its initiatives in sustainable development and corporate social responsibility.

This dual focus reflects a broader vision to construct premium living spaces and also shape lifestyle experiences that align with the ideals of contemporary living: balancing luxury with environmental and social considerations.

3. PATTA Development

Since its inception in 2006, PATTA Development has steadily risen to prominence in Pattaya’s real estate scene. Renowned for its emphasis on both style and functionality, PATTA’s projects, such as Patta Arcade and Patta Prime, stand out for their designs and prime locations.

The company was acknowledged at the Thailand Property Awards in 2023, picking up the Best Housing Developer (Eastern Seaboard) award, indicating its leading role in Pattaya’s property scene.

In addition, the company received Special Recognition in Community Services, highlighting its commitment to community welfare and societal contribution, beyond just building homes.

PATTA Development’s community engagement, meanwhile, is reflected in its diverse portfolio, including projects like Patta Element, Patta Ville, and Horizon By Patta.

These developments, noted for their quality, thoughtful design, and strategic locations, exemplify PATTA’s approach to creating not just living spaces but thriving communities.

4. PNP Real Estate Co., Ltd

With its innovative development approach, PNP Real Estate has marked its territory in the coastal town of Hua Hin in recent years.

A stellar example of PNP’s approach is the La Felice Villa Hua Hin project, embodying the company’s skill in creating properties that align with the demands of discerning homeowners.

The development, alongside other ventures in PNP’s portfolio, illustrates the company’s flair for designing living spaces that combine visual appeal and practical utility.

This approach, which also focuses on addressing the evolving needs of consumers while contributing to community services, bagged the developer Best Breakthrough Developer (Hua Hin) award at 2023’s PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards.

5. Phuket Exclusive Development Co., Ltd

Established with a vision to craft high-end living spaces in verdant settings, Phuket Exclusive Development has earned a reputation for its attention to design, quality and sustainability on Thailand’s most famous island.

Notable projects like The Element by Wallaya Villas, Wallaya Villas-The Nest, Wallaya Villas Harmony Phase 2 & 3, and Wallaya Grand Residence, completed between 2016 and 2021, combine contemporary design elements with the natural charm of Phuket, providing residents with a unique blend of comfort, elegance, and convenience.

With its focus on innovative design and quality construction, the firm took home Best Housing Developer (Phuket) at last year’s PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards. 

In Thailand’s ever-evolving real estate sector, Chanin Vanijwongse, CEO of Habitat Group Co., Ltd., has emerged as something of a visionary in recent years.

Since its inception in 2012, Habitat Group has carved a niche in the upper-midscale and luxury residential sectors, pioneering unique projects that blend innovative design with functionality.

Under Chanin’s leadership, the company has flourished, not just in creating lucrative investment opportunities but also in crafting spaces that resonate with modern lifestyles.

Indeed, the group has gained recognition for its distinctive developments, a fact underscored by its performance at the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards 2023.

Chanin’s entry into the real estate world began in 2004 as a successful private investor. This initial foray into the sector laid the foundation for establishing Habitat Group in 2012.

From the rapid sell-out of their inaugural project, The Ville Jomtien Pool Villa, to the development of notable properties like Wyndham Grand Residences Wongamat Pattaya and Leroy Ruamrudee in Bangkok, the company’s trajectory reflects a savvy understanding of market dynamics and customer preferences.

In this exclusive interview, Chanin offers an insight into the Group’s growth and strategy, shedding light on the philosophy driving their customer-centric and innovative approach to real estate development.

Can you explain what ‘lifestyle real estate’ means and how your approach stands out?

For us at Habitat Group, ‘lifestyle real estate’ is all about creating spaces that make life better. We don’t just build houses or condos; we create experiences. Our projects mix great design, comfortable living spaces, and top-class amenities, all designed to fit what our clients want.

What really makes us different is our focus on community. We build places where people don’t just live; they connect and feel like they belong.

How has the group changed its projects to match what people want these days, especially in places like Wyndham Grand Residences Wongamat Pattaya?

People’s preferences in real estate are always changing. They now look for more than just good looks; they want places that fit their lifestyle. We keep up with these changes by adding things like wellness amenities and smart technology.

A great example is our Wyndham Grand Residences in Pattaya. This place isn’t just about luxury; it’s about living well, with spaces for work, family activities, and relaxation.

What’s driving the growth of Pattaya’s real estate market, and how is Habitat Group a part of this?

Pattaya’s property market is booming. This is because it’s a popular tourist spot, it’s easier to get to now, and there’s a good chance for investors to make money.

At Habitat Group, we’re right in the middle of this growth. We’ve got a strong record of successful projects, a unique way of looking at real estate as an investment in lifestyle, and partnerships with big names like Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.

Facing challenges in Pattaya, how does the group plan to tackle these while also helping the community?

Like any growing market, Pattaya has its challenges, like seasonal changes and environmental concerns. We’re tackling these by broadening our range of projects and focusing on being eco-friendly. We’re also supporting local businesses and projects, which helps us build a stronger and more caring community.

We believe that as property developers, we have a big role to play in making communities better and more connected. This includes using energy-saving technologies and recycled materials, and undertaking sustainability projects like “Change for A Better Habitat.

Could you talk about the sustainable features in Habitat Group’s developments?

Sustainability is key for us. In our new projects, we use energy-saving systems like solar panels and LED lights, we save water through smart methods, and we use recycled materials in our buildings.

For instance, at Wyndham Grand Residences in Pattaya, we’ve focused on reducing energy and water use. Another project, Highland Park Pool Villa, uses recycled wood and other eco-friendly materials, letting in lots of natural light to cut down on energy needs.

What’s behind Habitat Group’s success and awards at last year’s PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards?

Our success comes from our commitment to high-quality projects, building strong communities, and always looking for new ways to improve. Our projects are more than buildings; they are places where people can connect and feel at home.

We’re always thinking ahead to meet our clients’ changing needs, like with our Wyndham Grand Residences in Pattaya, which combines stunning views with luxury design.

What are the group’s plans for the future?

Looking ahead, we’re focused on staying innovative and delivering high-quality, sustainable projects. We’re planning to expand into new markets, develop new products and services that respond to what people want, and continue to lead in eco-friendly buildings.

With our track record, commitment to innovation, and focus on sustainability, we’re set to keep growing and creating spaces that improve lives and inspire people in Thailand’s real estate world.

Favorable factors to drive the Thailand property market forward in 2023.

The long-running PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards programme returns for its record 18th edition as demand for award-winning, high-quality homes starts to rise again after the headwinds of the pandemic.

The 18th PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards 2023, presented by Mitsubishi Elevator (Thailand) and supported by JLL, is now calling for submissions to join an elite ranking among Thailand’s finest property developers, design practices, and developments, and raise the Gold Standard in real estate. Submissions are accepted online via: asiapropertyawards.com/nominations

The latest edition of the prestigious awards comes as favourable factors drive the kingdom’s real estate industry forward, according to the latest Thailand Property Market Report by DDproperty.com, the official portal partner of the Awards.

Overall housing Demand Index in the fourth quarter of 2022 increased 47% from the pre-pandemic period (Q4 2019), according to the report. The Price Index of residential property for sale in Bangkok is also likely to increase in 2023 while property seekers need to be ready for higher inflation and interest rates.

Meanwhile, the reopening of China is expected to drive the recovery of tourism in Thailand forward. Transport infrastructure developments will also continue galvanising the property market.

Fringe and outskirt areas of Bangkok with access to the SRT (Red Line), MRT (Blue Line) and BTS (Green Line) routes, in fact, recorded the highest Price Index growth in Q4 2022.

Wittaya Apirakviriya, general manager of DDproperty, Marketplaces (Developer) and Think of Living, said: “We expect the residential property market in Thailand this year to benefit from several factors, including the return of tourists from China and the continued expansion of rapid transit lines in Bangkok. Overall, there is no indication of an oversupply, and the remaining stock on the market will gradually continue to be absorbed. Home buyers, however, must be financially ready this year for the increased cost of housing due to inflation and interest rate hikes, among other reasons.”

Wittaya today joined Jules Kay, general manager of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events, as well as Suphin Mechuchep, chairperson of JLL Thailand and the chairperson of the judges of PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards; Paul Ashburn, co-managing partner of HLB Thailand, the Official Supervisor of the Awards; and Kaori Takahashi, managing director of Mitsubishi Elevator (Thailand) at the media launch of the Awards held at the VA Drawing Room of The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok.

Jules Kay, GM of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events, said: “We are delighted to be launching the 18th PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards at a time when Thailand’s property market is showing momentum. Market optimism is high, with domestic buyers showing a healthy appetite for real estate purchases, while international buyers and investors are returning on the back of a strong travel rebound.

The latest edition of the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards, now open for nominations, will give prominence to the Phuket resort market and other real estate investment destinations across the country.

The PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards, organised by Southeast Asia’s leading property technology company PropertyGuru (NYSE: PGRU), today hosted the Clink and Connect cocktail event for media and developers at the Marriott Phuket Nai Yang Beach, toasting to the enduring, resilient appeal of the country’s tourist and holiday home destinations.

The event was held in anticipation of the exclusive gala celebration of the 17th Annual PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards. The highly anticipated black-tie event, to be presented by Mitsubishi Elevator (Thailand), will be celebrated Friday, 25 November 2022 at The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok.

Known as the longest-running programme of their kind in the country, the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards this year offer a diverse range of categories, recognising developers and projects in tourism markets as the country relaxes its entry requirements for international visitors. In Phuket, which has recently eliminated its pioneering sandbox scheme, eligible real estate companies may vie for such coveted titles as Best Developer (Phuket), Best Condo Development (Phuket), and Best Housing Development (Phuket).

• 9 September 2022 – Entries Close

A gradual recovery

The DDproperty Thailand Property Market Report Q2 2022 – Powered by PropertyGuru DataSense, recorded higher buying and renting demand in major tourist destinations such as Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Pattaya. As prices become more affordable in tourist cities, customers with strong purchasing power find more attractive opportunities for owner-occupation and long-term investment from Q2 2022.

Kamolpat Swaengkit, country manager of DDproperty, Thailand’s leading property marketplace, said: “Energy prices and higher construction costs, together with the lack of labour and rising inflation and interest rates, are all factors influencing the real estate market recovery. As the country reopens, tourists will return but not to pre-Covid-19 levels, and other global factors such as China’s zero-Covid policy and geopolitical conflicts in Europe will play a part too. In the next three to six months, the overall domestic market will recover gradually rather than make a huge comeback.”

Jules Kay, general manager of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events, joined Kamolpat at the Clink and Connect event to introduce the nearly 80 categories open to entries and nominees in 2022. This year, the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards have new titles for outstanding waterfront properties, branded homes, and leisure facilities, among other honours for achievements in development and design.

Distinguished developers

Distinguished resort and hotel developers were accoladed at the 16th edition of the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards in 2021. Awardees represented markets as diverse as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, the Eastern Seaboard, Hua Hin, Phuket, Samui, and the Thai upcountry.

As we enter a dynamic digital era where you can get anything done with a single click, our team at  DDproperty.com keeps striving to modernise its services. We’ve carried out various innovations and enhancements to our system, including updating our existing Project Listing feature to “New Project Listing”.  

DDproperty.com’s internal data shows that 71% of people are more interested in finding new properties launched directly by developers. We’ve designed New Project Listing to enhance this property search experience for potential buyers of your latest projects on the market.  

Are you a developer who wants to accelerate sales and boost interest in your properties? Our New Project Listing could be the solution for you! Here are four reasons why we encourage Thai developers to activate the New Project Listing feature.  

  1. Responsive on Mobile

As much as 80% of the traffic on the DDproperty.com property site comes from smartphones. Inevitably, it’s important for developers to take advantage of as many digital features as possible and ensure that they’re mobile-friendly and mobile-responsive. 

New Project Listing has also been equipped with a high-quality design with a richer and more intuitive user interface. This product is fully mobile-responsive, guaranteeing utmost convenience for property seekers searching for the latest products from developers. 

  2. Supported by the Unique Search Algorithm

What do developers expect most when they choose a property portal as their marketing medium? Of course, it’s the hope that their property project will appear in the leading position on search results for their potential customers. The New Project Listing feature can give you an extra boost in this area! 

This is because the New Project Listing is supported by the Unique Search algorithm, which functions to prioritise relevant projects with complete content details for consumers. 

  3. Superior New Features

New Project Listing is also equipped with various new features that can accommodate your marketing goals. Among them are exclusive tagging, placement of gated brochures, as well as features that are connected directly to an active Line chat. More than 30% of DDproperty.com’s consumers make direct enquiries through Line. 

  4. Maximum Exposure with Premium Project Listing

Once you’ve taken up New Project Listing as a developer, you can level up to the Premium Project Listing feature. This is a service that guarantees 100% premium placement on regional search results, ensuring that your project appears above the Featured Agent Listing. 

Through the Premium Project Listing, you can achieve up to a 600%* increase in visibility on the search algorithm compared to the standard Project Listing. This will significantly enrich your listing performance as a developer!

Today’s real estate consumers are, to borrow a phrase, “extremely online”. To meet them where they are, property developers need to adjust their marketing and develop awareness of exactly which digital channels their buyers frequent.

A 2020 Bain report showed that, since the beginning of the pandemic, 47% of digital consumers reduced the frequency of offline purchases, with 30% increasing online shopping in response. The report also revealed that 84% of online shoppers are first-time users of digital apps. The trend is being mirrored on mobile, an InMobi study found 37% spike in average daily hours spent per device was recorded between 2019 and Q2 of 2020, with Southeast Asia ranking second globally in terms of time spent on mobile.

All this to say that salespeople and marketers have to reckon with a brand new market of digital consumers who primarily seek and consume information online. In real estate and property, we’ve seen industry leaders rise to the challenge with more digital listings, smart end-to-end property sales apps, and increasing usage of virtual reality and augmented reality tours.

Bringing the real estate buyer’s journey online

Consumers have become so well-acquainted with online purchasing that the property buyer’s journey – from discovery to consideration – may be conducted wholly online. A 2020 poll by real estate intelligence firm Mingtiandi found a sharp rise in technological adoption to follow their buyers’ online habits. Nearly three-fourth (73%) of survey respondents reported investing in video conferencing systems.

Smaller numbers reported adopting digital signature systems for documents (17%) and VR to enable remote sales (11%). “In the world of agency and professional services, the online inspection has come of age, with brokers, valuers and clients accepting digital alternatives to in-person visits,” explained Chris Marriott, chief executive for Southeast Asia at Savills.

More than ever, developers need to build a strong online presence, and master digital marketing tools that fully engage their prospects. These digital tools should be up-to-date, accurate, and compelling, especially since more and more property buyers have warmed to the idea of making large purchases (like down payments) online.

[Our data reveals that projects using Premium Project Listing receive up to 90% uplift in pageviews, compared to projects in organic search results.]

DDproperty’s deceptively simple tools for property developers

As property industry veterans, we’re familiar with the complicated journey that salespeople take with buyers before reaching a successful sale. That’s why we’ve outfitted DDproperty with all the digital marketing tools they need to promote and sell their properties to the most receptive buyers. At the very least, we can make sure that your property listings are engaging, insightful, and perhaps most importantly, visible on the web.

Developers cater to a wide variety of customers in different parts of the marketing funnel: that’s why the platform offers tier-based digital marketing services where property developers can choose a level of service that fits their budget and intended audience to a tee.

It’s no trouble at all getting started with DDproperty’s digital marketing products: they’re literally as simple as A, B, C:

A-List: Premium Project Listings for choice projects

Your project listing on DDproperty will be both broad-based and focused: it can be displayed to over 50 million active property seekers across Southeast Asia, but our tools also allow you to narrow your listing audience down to the most relevant and receptive buyers.

With DDproperty’s popularity, you may expect thousands of listings to be competing alongside yours, you need to work to improve your property’s visibility. While factors like price, location, and inherent project features are outside your control, you can snag more views and inquiries by playing on other factors, like constantly updating your content and using rich media like virtual tours.

To better zero in on your target market, take advantage of DDproperty’s Premium Project Listings: a new marketing platform that places developer listings at the top of search results on DDproperty.

Properties listed on Premium Project Listing are guaranteed to enjoy the best visibility by district level — even above agent-featured listings. Our data reveals that projects using Premium Project Listing receive up to 90% uplift in pageviews, compared to projects in organic search results.

Business Marketplace: EasyOwn spotlights developer deals

Discounts and deals can help increase conversions for your property developments. But you can do one better: by promoting those discounts and deals in the right place, alongside those of other reputable developers, you can boost conversion even more.

DDproperty EasyOwn puts the spotlight on the most attractive developer deals in a particular area. By joining EasyOwn’s curated collection of developer projects, you can promote your property to a receptive audience looking for attractive property deals and discount packages.

In support of the Thai government’s Real Estate Stimulus Measure on lowering property transfer fees and Bank of Thailand (BoT)’s relaxation on loan-to-value (LTV) ratio for mortgage lending – initiatives that are designed to support homebuyers looking for purchase property -participation in EasyOwn is crucial given relatively low sales of unsold properties in Thailand’s housing market, which has remained lukewarm despite a recent rebound in transaction volumes to pre-pandemic levels.

Correcting The Balance: The Way Forward

Even as 90% of consumers are now making their buying decisions online, property developers have been slow to adapt: they’re only spending 20% of their promotional budget on online channels.

DDproperty can help you correct this imbalance, with easy-to-use services that are focused on making the home search process more straightforward and transparent for everyone involved. We employ over 1,400 Gurus in five markets across Southeast Asia, making us the leading Proptech company in the region.

The longest-running real estate awards programme in Thailand to make comeback as exclusive, in-person gala event in Bangkok.

• Black-tie gala dinner and ceremony to be held 25 November 2022 at The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok, with livestreaming on AsiaPropertyAwards.com and partner channels
• Highly awaited, long-running awards programme opens anew as residential real estate market shows rebounding sentiment and positive signs of recovery in 2022
• Nominations and entries open to the general public until 9 September 2022, with new categories at stake

With rising optimism in the real estate market, the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards, the longest-running real estate awards in the country, are set to stage a comeback as an exclusive, safely conducted, in-person event for 2022.

Following a successful virtual gala event in 2021, the 17th Annual PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards, presented by Mitsubishi Elevator (Thailand), will be held as a black-tie gala dinner and ceremony at The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok on Friday, 25 November 2022.

The Thai edition of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards has new categories at stake this year for the nation’s finest developers and projects. They include never-before-presented honours for the nation’s most well-connected developments; waterfront properties; and eco-friendly, pet-friendly projects.

Key dates for 2022 are:

• 1 January 2022 – Entries Open
• 9 September 2022 – Entries Close
• 26 September – 14 October 2022 – Site Inspections
• 17 October 2022 – Final Judging
• 25 November 2022 – Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony in Bangkok, Thailand
• 9 December 2022 – Regional Grand Final Gala Event

The comeback of the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards as a physical gala event coincides with improving market fundamentals, easing Covid-19 restrictions, and widespread distribution of vaccines across the nation, according to leading analysts.

Suphin Mechuchep, chairperson of JLL Thailand and chairperson of the independent judging panel of the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards, said: “Through challenges and opportunities, JLL has been there for the Thai property market for more than 30 years, and the pandemic is no exception.

As global travel slowly resumes and confidence renews among investors and developers, we expect Thailand’s real estate market to be on the road to recovery. Led by real end users, the pent-up demand will usher in a strong rebound of the Thai real estate industry in the months to come.”

New supply is predicted to enter the residential market at the beginning of 2022 as developers and sellers offload their existing property to cater to consumers with strong purchasing power, according to the Thailand Property Market Outlook 2022 by DDproperty, the official property portal of the Awards. In addition, the Price Index of landed Bangkok residential properties showed year-on-year growth, especially for single-detached houses.

Kamolpat Swaengkit, country manager of DDproperty, said: “Locations with the highest price growth are in Bangkok suburbs because most landed properties in these areas are more affordable for the majority. In addition, the expansion of BTS and MRT routes makes traveling to the city much more convenient.”

Longevity, significance, and relevance

Analysts shared these and other insights today 9 March in a media roundtable launching the 2022 season of the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards. The press conference, held at the Pimarn Siam Hall of The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel Bangkok, highlighted the longevity, significance and relevance of the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards programme as it enters its 17th edition.

Jules Kay, general manager of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events, said: “We are delighted to be launching the 17th PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards at a time of renewed confidence in the property market on the back of the gradual resumption of global travel and rising optimism in economic recovery.

The PropertyGuru Awards in Thailand will support this positive sentiment with a return to our physical gala format in Bangkok this year, celebrating the resilience of the property market in the presence of the country’s finest developers and real estate achievers.”

This year, developers will have a chance to compete in numerous all-new categories, including Best Leisure Facilities Development; Best Completed Condo Development; Best Completed Housing Development; Best Connectivity Condo Development; Best Connectivity Housing Development; Best Waterfront Condo Development; Best Waterfront Housing Development; Best Integrated WFH Development; Best Eco-Friendly Condo Development; Best Eco-Friendly Housing Development; Best Pet-Friendly Residential Development; Best Mega Mixed Use Development; and Best Eco-Friendly Commercial Development.

Eligible entries to all categories will undergo a rigorous selection process overseen by HLB Thailand, the official supervisor of the Awards, under the leadership of Paul Ashburn, co-managing partner of HLB Thailand and ASPAC leader at HLB Real Estate Group.

This year’s gala dinner and ceremony are made possible by the support and generosity of Mitsubishi Elevator (Thailand), the platinum sponsor of the Awards.

Awards reception

Following the press conference, the winners and Highly Commended recipients of the 16th PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards 2021 safely gathered to receive their golden statuettes and citations in an intimate reception for awardees at the Crystal Hall of The Athenee Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bangkok.

Sansiri Public Company Limited won last December the ultimate accolade of Best Developer (Thailand), a title it had previously won in 2013. It then represented Thailand in competition for the title of Best Developer (Asia) at the 16th PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final.

Praiya Bunnag, chief sales officer of Sansiri PLC, said: “Winning the Best Developer award is a reaffirmation of our competitive advantage as a fully integrated development company honed by almost four decades of experience in providing a comprehensive range of services to home buyers in Thailand. We are pleased to see consumers and investors make elevated property decisions through the Awards and find their way to our award-winning houses, townhomes and condominiums. The honours we have received over the years from the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards have only strengthened our resolve to continue to create best-in-class built spaces that are Made for Life, Made for Everyone.”

The 17th PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards will be live-streamed to an international audience on AsiaPropertyAwards.com and partner digital platforms, extending the programme’s reach to consumers and agents throughout Asia Pacific. Highlights of the 2021 virtual gala series will air during the livestream.

Last year’s edition of the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards marked the programme’s first virtual gala event, with highlights that aired on the History Channel. The 2021 PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards online gala series, which included the Awards in Thailand, was viewed more than 437,000 times worldwide in a span of two months.

Established in 2005, the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards is known as the longest-running real estate awards programme of its kind in Thailand. The PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards originated the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards series, which has expanded over the years to cover 18 dynamic real estate markets, including Australia, the Chinese territories, Japan, India, and Sri Lanka. Now in its 17th edition, the annual gala dinner and presentation of the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards attracts 600 guests, including C-level and senior industry figures and select members of media.

PropertyGuru Group, Southeast Asia’s leading property technology company, has opened the virtual world doors of its thought leadership platform, PropertyGuru Asia Real Estate Summit, on 8 December 2021. The event runs for one month, closing its doors on 8 January 2022.

Themed ‘Data Revolution,’ the virtual summit premiered on AsiaRealEstateSummit.com and features a live chat section, two exhibition halls, and 30 interactive booths. With introductions by Thai-Welsh television personality Kelly B. Jones, the event is supported by platinum sponsor Port City Colombo, and official innovation partner IHI.

Now on its seventh year, the annual summit is participated by decision-makers from around the Asia Pacific region and beyond, highlighting the property industry’s continuing focus on sustainability, green building and finance, clean tech, urban resilience, and smart cities, with data science and data-driven insights at the core.

Hari V. Krishnan, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of PropertyGuru Group, said: “We have the opportunity to transform our workflows from within, making sure that we’re using data-driven insights to make intelligent decisions: how we build and what we build; how we match demand and supply of real estate; and then how we manage property. Data-driven insights can underpin all parts of the real estate ecosystem,” Krishnan shares during his ‘GuruTalk’ presentation.

Meanwhile, the returning chairperson of the summit, Stephen Oehme, who is currently the Managing Director of Quantum Thailand Ltd and a former board member of Burj Khalifa Dubai, calls to harness the power of data science to realise our collective sustainability goals. “Sustainability is the lens to achieve the outcome we all desire and the legacy we want to leave. We need to be more progressive, and we need to achieve solid and lasting outcomes. Together, we can,” he appeals in his keynote.

This year’s PropertyGuru Asia Real Estate Summit, or ARES, features an assemblage of more than 30 real estate and technology leaders, sustainability and climate heroes, start-up innovators and visionaries hailing from around the world. Fifty percent of the expert roster comprise women and members of the LGBTQ+ community, solidifying the event’s commitment to promote a diversity of voices and inclusivity in the real estate and tech sectors.

The ‘Visionary of the Year’ award is presented for the first time to a female recipient, Thai landscape architect Kotchakorn Voraakhom, CEO and Founder of Pourous City Network, and Chairwoman of the Climate Change Working Group, International Federation of Landscape Architects, World (IFLA World). With acclaimed projects such as the Chulalongkorn Centenary Park and Chao Phraya Sky Park, Kotchakorn is the third overall recipient of this honour, following last year’s winner Illac Diaz of the Liter of Light foundation.

She said: “It’s very important that every female can have an opportunity to have a seat at the table and share their thoughts, their ideas, their creativity. There are not only two genders in the world right now; we have an even more diverse society, and I hope that all of our creativity can be combined to tackle the climate change problem.”

Green and climate heroes put their heads together to discuss how the Asia Pacific property sector can weather the environmental crisis and drive sustainable living.

Since 2015, the PropertyGuru Asia Real Estate Summit has served as a platform for the industry’s finest minds, top-level business leaders, and decision-makers to educate their peers and industry professionals about innovation, connectivity and technological applications on the built environment.

In the last three years, the Summit has also incorporated the contributions to climate change, to push them to innovate to minimise their carbon footprint, and to inspire them with breakthroughs in green and property technology. 

At the first virtual edition of the Summit in December 2020, PropertyGuru called upon the Asia Pacific region’s green and climate heroes and proptech experts to advance the conversation on green building and technology, carbon-negative and carbon-neutral design trends, humanitarian tech, the future of urban living, and smarter and healthier cities. 

In the Summit’s inaugural Digital White Paper, released in September 2021 and entitled “PropTech and the Responsible Innovator,” the aforementioned themes are highlighted to urge the real estate industry (and by extension its investors and consumers) into responsibly building a world worthy of future generations.

The summit’s chairperson Stephen Oehme (former board member of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa and now based in Thailand) opens the discourse by noting that raising awareness on sustainability should no longer be the objective.

Instead, he insists that now is the time to encourage global firms to carry out their own green agenda through careful study and applying practical solutions.  

The digital white paper features contributions by Unissu’s James Dearsley, who presents the current investment trends and outlook for proptech businesses in Asia Pacific. 

Angelo Tan of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) continues by sharing his personal stories that steered him to lead the IFC’s Climate Business unit in his country and discussing how emerging countries can democratise green buildings through proptech. 

PropertyGuru Property Report digital editor Gynen Kyra Toriano writes about the World Bank Group’s insights and initiatives via the IFC to push green financing and certification, PropertyGuru Group CEO Hari V. Krishnan’s vision for sustainable living in Asia’s megacities, and the Liter of Light foundation’s advocacy (led by founder Illac Diaz, recipient of the 2020 PropertyGuru Visionary of the Year award) to light up homes and environments without access to electricity. 

Meanwhile, global consumer brand IKEA’s sustainable solutions and 2020 PropertyGuru Tech Innovation Award winner Rizome’s climate-positive alternative to steel and concrete are examined by writer Ruechupa Jiratanasophin.

Stephen concludes the digital white paper by reiterating the four pillars of sustainability – human, social, economic, and environmental – and calling for immediate action as we all prepare to reunite (virtually) at the next PropertyGuru Asia Real Estate Summit in December 2021.

The “Pearl of the Andaman”

[Special Advertising Feature] Phuket, also known as the “Pearl of the Andaman,” lives up to its name as a tropical paradise filled with stunning beaches, teal sparkling seas, lush green rainforests coating the hills and mountains, and lively towns that provide all the necessities, cravings and luxuries anyone could wish for. Thailand, according to International Living, ranks as the 9^th best country in the world to retire in, with Phuket being one of the best destinations in the country. To this day, Phuket remains one of the best places in the world for retirement, tourism and a place to call home.

There is always something to do in Phuket, whether you are a solo adventurer, a young couple or a family with children. The wide array of activities around the island are sure to fulfill your every craving, whether they are man-made attractions or natural hidden gems ready to be explored. Being 30 miles in length and 13 miles wide, the island is easy to drive around in, which makes all of its beautiful wonders and popular attractions within short driving distances from each other. One of the most distinct characters of Phuket is that it caters to all tastes and preferences, with a delightful balance of tranquility of the beaches to full-on urban swing. Small untainted coves can still be found around the island while still being in close proximity to all the major amenities that you need; such as local boutiques, shopping centers, markets and restaurants serving huge selections of western and Asian food. Not to mention the best seafood experience without having to empty your bank account!

Phuket is Thailand’s largest island, with a population of almost 600,000 people. Numbers are sure to be on the rise as the province is growing rapidly. Around 115,000 expats from around the globe have already made Phuket their home. In comparison to other countries, Phuket has a relatively low cost of living despite being a global destination with international facilities, making it a popular destination to settle in. One can comfortably live anywhere on the island with a monthly budget of 2,000 USD. The most expensive cost is food and rent, with the latter being quite high. So why not save on rent by claiming a little slice of paradise to call your own? 

Introducing Utopia Thalang

Utopia Thalang – a residential villa project comprising of 129-villas integrated in a simple Japanese-style village, combining the minimalist and beautiful aesthetics of Japanese culture with the soothing greenery of tropical Phuket. The 2/3-bedroom villas are designed in pure Japanese style creating the perfect blend with its green luscious surroundings. Featured in this picturesque Japanese style village is a public swimming pool (14.33 m. x 8.6 m.), Japanese gardens nested between the villas, a public community area and a children’s playground. Utopia Thalang is sure to meet all of the requirements of people who want to live in the peacefulness of nature while still being able to access the comforts of city living just a few minutes away.

Phuket International Airport is only 10 minutes away, making it the ideal residence for airport personnel. A large number of domestic and international flights are served in and out of Phuket, making it easy to plan your holidays or for a quick escapade when you feel like a change of scenery. Below is a quick list of some of the major cities that you can reach out of direct flights from Phuket:

Golf enthusiasts would be delighted to know that Utopia Thalang is in close driving proximity to the many golf courses in Phuket, including Southeast Asia’s famous Blue Canyon Golf Course. If running out of groceries, Makro or Tesco Lotus are only 3 minutes away, while if you need just a quick grab, a 7-11, a KFC and an Amazon Coffeeshop are conveniently located within walking distance. Another advantage of Utopia Thalang’s location is that it will be right in front of one of the stations of the upcoming Phuket light-railway transit system which is expected to be completed in 2023. Residents will have the luxury to travel to the airport, Phuket Town and other parts of Phuket without using a car.

Sound Investment
