The EEC, mass transit projects and a brighter economy bring good tidings for the real estate market.
Thailand’s property market prospects are expected to be bright next year based on the country’s economic expansion, government spending on big-ticket infrastructure projects and the rise of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC).
Surachet Kongcheep, a property analyst, says market growth will mirror the country’s positive economic trajectory. Key factors boosting the economy are spending on the EEC and mass transit line expansion.
SET-listed contractor Ch.Karnchang Plc said new infrastructure projects that the government plans to open for bidding next year include the southern Purple Line from Tao Poon to Rat Burana — the largest one at 130 billion baht.
