Beyond Tourism How Real Estate is Redefining Phuket as a World Community

As one of Asia’s most dynamic resort destinations, Phuket is undergoing a remarkable transformation — shifting from a purely tourism-driven economy to a thriving world community. What was once a market led by individual investors and lifestyle buyers is now attracting growing attention from institutional investors, establishing Phuket as not only a real estate hotspot but also a driving force in the broader Thai economy.

Through a series of thought-provoking discussions, participants will explore the fundamentals fueling new projects, the capital flows that sustain them, and the innovative models — from financing options to vacation homeshare and rent-to-own — that are reshaping property ownership. Added to this are new directions in serviced living and design that will define Phuket’s real estate future.

The C9 Sessions initiative is dedicated to educating, inspiring innovation, and encouraging entrepreneurial thinking in hospitality and real estate. The forum continues that mission by offering a front-row seat to the ideas and strategies influencing Phuket’s property market and its integration into the global landscape.
