Ocean´s Edge Condominiums in Pattaya developed by Saraan, was recently chosen by the Homes Overseas Magazine´s awards as "Best Apartment Thailand". Headline sponsored by Barclays Bank PLC, and supported by the Association of International Property Professionals, the annual awards are a showcase for the industry. “The AIPP exists to improve standards of professionalism in the international property market. Award ceremonies exist to celebrate excellence.” Said Mr. Paul Owen, CEO of the AIPP. “It’s an obvious match, but we have still undergone an assessment process before lending our name to the Awards.”

As well as these accolades, Royal Phuket Marina also won "Best Interior Design" at the International Property Awards in London and Phuket’s Layan Gardens won "Best Thailand Development" and "Best Thailand Property" in the 2005 International Property awards.

On the national scene, nominations for the annual Thailand Property Awards in December are already in, with over 300 firms and projects included in a range of different categories. The level of competition is higher than ever, and the 2007 awards will also see an increase in the number of categories, reflecting the diversity of Thailand´s real estate industry. In total there are 14 awards, including developers, agents, architects, designers, websites and personalities within the industry.

The winner of last year’s Best Villa Development Award at the Thailand Property Awards, Dhevatara  Properties, has enjoyed a very successful 2007 winning 3 awards at the prestigious 2007 International Property Awards, held in conjunction with CNBC with support from some of the world’s major newspapers – the Daily Mail, New York Times and Sydney Morning Herald. Stephen Owen, the Owner’s Representative for Dhevatara stated at the event that, “I think it is great recognition for 2 years of hard work by everyone in the Dhevatara team. It will give us International recognition and has encouraged us to launch new products outside of our original comfort zone of Thailand.”
