He said: “For the 2023 Thailand Real Estate Personality of the Year Award, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to PropertyGuru for taking part in conveying my intentions as well. This award is even more valuable because I have a companion moving towards the goal of creating better changes together.”

Jeremy Williams, managing director, Marketplaces, PropertyGuru Group, said: “Thailand is a key market for us at PropertyGuru Group as we pursue our vision to power communities to live, work and thrive in tomorrow’s cities. The meticulous selection of these award winners aligns with our aim to promote trust in the real estate industry and infuse confidence into the decisions of Thailand’s property seekers, sellers, and owners. From the dazzling skylines of the city to the idyllic coast and countryside, these great developers and projects have truly made a difference in the property sector and brought lasting, innovative, sustainable change to Thailand. Congratulations to all the recipients of the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards.

Jules Kay, GM of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events, said: “After nearly two decades, the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards programme continues to support and elevate the standard of real estate development and design in the kingdom. Over the years, the Awards have adapted and evolved to reflect an ever-changing Thai market. As consumer preferences change and demand for real estate rebounds, we recognise the properties most sought after by today’s property seekers, and shine a light on Thailand’s most desirable investment opportunities. Whether in locations such as Bangkok’s urban hubs or the country’s bucolic coast and countryside, our award winners this year personify the optimism in Thailand’s real estate sector and give cause for celebration.”
