Bangkok: 7th November 2009 – After a long and thorough judging process, the winners of the 2009
Thailand Property Awards were announced at a lavish five-star Gala Dinner at the Grand Hyatt Erawan
Bangkok. Over 450 attended the Gala Dinner and awards presentation to find out who were this year's
best-of-the-best.
Now in their fourth year, the Thailand Property Awards recognise not only the winners of each award,
but they also assist in promoting the high level of quality of Thailand's real estate, construction,
architectural and interior design as well as industry professional services, and through a professionallyrun
awards system helps put Thailand real estate on the world stage.
This year there were 23 awards – two new additions were Best Villa Development (Thailand) and Best

distinct from the provincial awards which are eligible to developments under construction. In total,
there were 7 winners from Bangkok, 3 from the Eastern Seaboard, 6 from Phuket, 4 from Samui and 2

for the winner is made by the Property Report Thailand team. This year, the award was presented to
Khun Settha Thavisin, President of Sansiri PLC. Khun Settha has long been a leading light in the
