PropertyGuru Group is gearing up for the 20th PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards, inviting the Thai real estate sector to compete for excellence in various project categories.

The awards gala dinner and ceremony will take place on September 12, 2025, at the Dusit Thani Hotel in Bangkok.
Mr. Jules Kay General Manager of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events stated that two decades ago, the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards was established to honor quality real estate at a time when awards were scarce, starting with just a few accolades. This year, we are set to present over 100 awards to recognize every sector of Thailand's real estate industry. “Over the years, the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards has grown to become the longest-running real estate awards event in Thailand, expanding beyond property segments to include various regions in Thailand, acknowledging emerging markets that offer quality comparable to renowned investment hubs like Bangkok and Phuket. Our commitment to establishing the Gold Standard in real estate continues to drive us forward each year, and this year we celebrate the 20th anniversary of this prestigious award, aiming to instill confidence in Thailand's real estate industry and pave the way for progress in the coming decade.”
Ms. Suphin Meechuchai, Chair of the Judging Panel for the PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards 2025 added, “As we enter the significant 20th year of honoring excellence in the Thai real estate sector, we are proud to introduce new award categories that reflect the diverse needs and expansion of the market, from large community developments to thoughtfully designed multigenerational spaces. The awards in 2025 closely align with market trends in Thailand and elevate projects that meet the increasingly complex demands of investors, real estate agents, consumers, and communities. We encourage property developers to seize this opportunity to showcase their outstanding work and innovations, not only in Thailand but also in the broader Asia-Pacific market, while playing a larger role in setting standards for design, development, and sustainability in the region's real estate sector.”

A Year of Opportunities and Trends

Among those buying, 54% were for personal use and family, while 47% were investors, indicating a significant segment of buyers looking for investment opportunities due to attractive rental yields in both the short and long term.
