Thailand’s biggest real estate event returns for a 10th historic year in 2015 with a glittering black-tie gala dinner and awards ceremony at the Plaza Athenee hotel on Wednesday, 16 September.
Organised by Ensign Media, Asia’s leading property media company, the Thailand Property Awards showcase the finest developments in the Kingdom. Properties from Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Phuket, Hua Hin, Khao Yai, Phang Nga, Krabi and Samui will all be rewarded at the prestigious gala dinner.
“The enormous success of the Thailand Property Awards over the past decade is a testament to the highest standards established by the award-winning developments and companies that have participated since 2006,” Terry Blackburn, CEO of Ensign Media. “The Awards continue to set the benchmark of quality and credibility by which the region’s best real estate is measured.”
As ever, the Thailand Property Awards judging process will be the most comprehensive and detailed of any real estate awards in the world. Successful entries — nominated by the public and industry peers — will be assessed by the independent panel of highly-experienced judges who shall conduct thorough site inspections of all shortlisted properties before the final decisions are made, with the entire process overseen by BDO, ones of the world’s largest and most respected accountancy and audited firms.
With entries closing on May 15, nominations from the general public and real estate industry have been flooding in since the start of the year and will now be judged by the independent panel judges, supported by site inspection teams from around the country and supervised by Paul Ashburn, managing partner of BDO International.
“We have clearly demonstrated over the years that it is worthwhile putting an extra effort into our entry and judging processes, as that leads to highly credible winners and public recognition that the shortlisted properties truly do represent the best of the best,” said Blackburn. “The awards are free to enter and decided by a truly independent panel, which ensures only the best of the best are recognised and rewarded.’
According to Russ Downing, Managing Director of HOT Hua Hin Property and Head of the Hua Hin Judging Team for the last eight years, “Hua Hin’s stature in the Kingdom is growing and with it exciting projects are being developed. We’re really looking forward to this year’s on-site inspections.
Started in Thailand in 2006, the Asia Property Awards have since expanded to reward developments, consultants, architects and designers in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, China, and this 2015 have expanded into Myanmar, Indonesia and Vietnam.
