Phuket Property Exchange

Welcome to the Phuket Property Exchange by the C9 Sessions, powered by FazWaz, with Delivering Asia. This special edition is a two and a half-hour event taking place on Thursday 11th June 2026, at the SAii Laguna Phuket, Similan Ballroom.

Phuket’s real estate market is entering a new phase—shaped less by location alone and increasingly by the forces that drive demand: lifestyle, policy, investment structures, education, wellness, luxury positioning, and placemaking.

As buyer expectations evolve and competition intensifies, success in today’s market depends on understanding these deeper demand drivers and responding with greater sophistication, clarity, and adaptability.

The Phuket Property Exchange is a focused industry forum designed to map these shifts. Through curated conversations and real-world perspectives, it also provides a rare opportunity to hear directly from leading developers—sharing their stories, insights, and what they see coming next for the market. It is a chance to explore new ideas, emerging developments, and innovative product concepts shaping the next cycle of growth.

A key feature of the program is The Bangtao Effect, which examines the transformation of one of Phuket’s most dynamic coastal corridors into a benchmark for integrated, luxury-led development and lifestyle living.

From rentals and visa-led demand to wellness, international education, and the rise of integrated communities, the program examines the structural forces redefining value creation in real estate today.Top of FormBottom of Form
