They now prefer to buy inventory projects as they can see the real projects, actual view, and also inspect the projects through both online and offline. There is also a need for larger rooms to accommodate their own family living, as opposed to previously purchasing for investment purpose. Recently, we have launched new projects in Rama9 Road, which is a popular area among foreign investors next to Central Rama IX Department Store, namely Nue District R9 Project. At present, the project has sold more than 75% which have received very good feedback from both Thai and foreign customers,” said Mr. Thongchai.

For the overall of the Thai economy in 2023, the company views that the Thai economy is likely to recover continuously due to several positive factors including the ease of Covid-19 preventive measures and the country’s reopening to welcome foreigner tourists, which will result in the recovery of tourism sector, more employment, and an increase purchasing power of local consumers. Also, the recent official announcement of the Chinese government to unlock and open up the country will be another new positive factor contributing to the Thai tourism and the economy from the influx of Chinese tourists to Thailand.

However, Mr. Thongchai concluded that with the overall economic recovery, together with the backlog on hand, including the housing projects that will be gradually transferred in this year. As a result, the company believes that will significant positively affect the direction of operating in 2023 which will see the total revenue at THB 15,000 million.
