Land Houses Sees Pattayas Growing PotentialA Boost for Tourism and Property Markets

Pattaya continues to establish itself as one of Thailand’s premier destinations, not only for tourism but also for long-term investment opportunities. Leading the charge in recognising this potential is Land & Houses (LH), a powerhouse in Thai real estate. With a long history of successful investments in both residential and commercial properties, in Pattaya, LH has announced a significant increase in its investment in Terminal 21 in  North Pattaya, a move that promises to build further confidence in the city’s property market.

The developer has allocated a staggering 5.7 billion baht towards expanding its Terminal 21 Pattaya shopping mall, a landmark destination that has been a draw for both domestic and international tourists since it opened six years ago. As the city welcomes an increasing number of visitors year-round, this investment is a vote of confidence in Pattaya’s growing potential as both a tourist hub and a thriving economic center.

A City on the Rise

According to Prasert Sriuranpong, Managing Director at LH Mall & Hotel (LHMH), Pattaya stands out as one of the few cities in Thailand that attracts tourists year-round, regardless of whether it’s high or low season. Its diverse attractions, prime location in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), and ongoing development projects make it a city with unparalleled growth potential. "Pattaya is one of the few cities in the world that serves as both a tourist destination and an economic hub," Prasert noted.

This is particularly important for property developers and investors, as Pattaya’s dual role strengthens the long-term outlook for the real estate market. The steady flow of tourists, combined with the city’s position as a key player in the EEC, creates a sustainable demand for residential and commercial properties. These factors not only stabilise property values but also present opportunities for price growth over time.

Building Confidence in the Pattaya Property Market

LH’s investment in Terminal 21 Pattaya is not just about expanding a mall; it’s about bolstering the city’s reputation as a prime destination for both tourists and investors. This renewed confidence in Pattaya’s potential is set to benefit the residential property market, driving demand for new developments and increasing property values.

The expansion is also likely to boost economic activity in the area, creating ripple effects that support local businesses and infrastructure development. For property developers, this spells opportunity. The influx of visitors, particularly high-spending international tourists will stimulate demand for residential properties, particularly in premium locations near key attractions like Terminal 21 Pattaya in North Pattaya.

As Prasert highlighted, the mall has already seen a 12% increase in visitors this year compared to the previous year, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. With most foreign visitors coming from China, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, India, and ASEAN countries, the demand for high-quality accommodation and real estate will only rise.

Investment That Benefits Property Developers

For property developers, LH’s investment in Pattaya signals a bright future. As more tourists flock to the city and spend up to three times more than their Thai counterparts, the demand for well-located residential properties will naturally increase. Developers who seize this opportunity by investing in new projects or upgrading existing properties will be well-positioned to capitalise on this growing market.

Moreover, as confidence in Pattaya’s economy grows, property prices are likely to follow suit. This is good news for developers who are looking to attract both local and international buyers. The city’s continued development as a tourist and economic hub makes it an attractive proposition for investors who seek long-term value in the property market.

The Positive Impact on Property Values

The increase in investment in Pattaya, driven by projects like Terminal 21, has a direct impact on property values. As the city attracts more tourists and establishes itself as a key player in the EEC, property prices are expected to rise, benefiting both investors and developers. The confidence generated by large-scale investments like this not only boosts the local economy but also enhances the appeal of Pattaya as a residential destination.

With the continued flow of investment, Pattaya’s property market will likely see sustained growth, providing developers with the perfect environment to launch new projects. The city’s evolving infrastructure and strategic importance in the EEC further cement its position as a top choice for both local and international buyers, offering strong returns on property investments.

Conclusion

The ongoing investment in Pattaya, led by major players like Land & Houses, is more than just a boost for tourism, it’s a powerful catalyst for growth in the city’s property market. The confidence generated by these projects will not only support residential property developers but also ensure that property values in Pattaya continue to rise.

For developers, this is a golden opportunity to tap into the expanding market and meet the growing demand for high-quality residential properties. With Pattaya positioned as both a tourist and economic hub, the future of its property market looks brighter than ever.
