The PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards, the country’s longest-running and most prestigious real estate accolades, are back for their 20th edition, and the excitement is palpable. As Thailand’s property market continues to evolve, the awards are keeping pace, introducing new categories that reflect the changing needs and desires of savvy property seekers.
The 2025 cycle of the awards kicked off with a glitzy launch event at the Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel, where industry insiders shared insights on the latest trends shaping the kingdom’s real estate landscape. According to data from DDproperty.com, the official portal partner, rental properties are in high demand, with 52% of users seeking to rent rather than buy. However, the balance between investors and those purchasing for personal use is nearly even, suggesting that attractive rental returns are drawing a significant number of investors to the market.
In response to these dynamic shifts, the 20th PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards have introduced a host of new categories, including Best Construction Company, Best Custom Home Builder, and Best Mega Township Development, among others. These new titles aim to recognize the innovative projects and cutting-edge developments that are catering to the evolving needs of Thailand’s property enthusiasts.
“Over the years, the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards have grown to become the longest-running awards programme in the country,” said Jules Kay, general manager of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events. “As we celebrate this milestone, we’re excited to introduce new categories that reflect the market’s diversifying demands and the industry’s expanding spectrum of supply.”
The awards’ independent panel of judges, led by Suphin Mechuchep, are eager to see how developers will rise to the occasion. “From expansive townships to thoughtfully designed multigenerational spaces, the 2025 awards closely align with market trends in Thailand and elevate developments that cater to the increasingly complex needs of investors, agents, consumers, and communities,” Mechuchep shared.
The awards ceremony, set to take place at the iconic Dusit Thani Bangkok on September 12, 2025, will be a glittering affair, with the evening’s highlights streamed live for viewers across Thailand and the region. But the real excitement comes when the winners are announced, as they’ll have the chance to compete for the prestigious “Best in Asia” titles at the 20th PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final in December 2025.
As the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards celebrate two decades of honoring excellence in the industry, the stage is set for an even more dazzling display of Thailand’s real estate prowess. With new categories, rising trends, and the promise of regional recognition, property enthusiasts are in for a truly unforgettable experience.
