There is also a need for larger rooms to accommodate their own family living, as opposed to previously purchasing for investment purpose. Recently, we have launched new projects in Rama9 Road, which is a popular area among foreign investors next to Central Rama IX Department Store, namely Nue District R9 Project. At present, the project has sold more than 75% which have received very good feedback from both Thai and foreign customers,” said Mr. Thongchai.
