Royal House projects an upbeat for home building market in 2010 and will open its first provincial branch in Chonburi.

Royal House, Thailand’s top home building company, guides that home building market in 2010 will grow thanks to improving global economy and stable political backdrop, which are expected to bring back purchasing power into the market. Being confident in its potentials and experienced personnel, the company will aggressively open its first provincial branch in Chonburi and preemptively launch new inexpensive housing models at 2 million Baht price point at the event to be held during January 27, 2010 – February 2, 2010 at 1st floor, Central Plaza Lardpaow.


Mr.Sakda Kovisuth, Managing Director of Royal House Co., Ltd., reveals today that the home building market in 2010 should improve thanks to several favorable factors, i.e. improving global economy and stable local political backdrop seen since late last year, which are expected to reinstate consumer confidence and bring back purchasing power. In addition, since the number of eastern provincial customers has been noticeably rising, the company has decided to open its first provincial branch in Chonburi.

“From mid to late last year, upbeat outlook was seen in the home building market and it is expected to continue this year. We project rising consumer purchasing power as consumers are somewhat used to the negative factors, like the World financial crisis and local political unrest. Though oil price is expected to rise, it should remain stable for a certain period of time. So I would say, this year could be a new milestone for Royal House, as we aggressively move into our first provincial market in Chonburi and we do look for more as we gradually move forward into the future.” said Mr.Sakda.

Under its “Smart Home Building” slogan, Royal House posted an as-expected sale of 800 Baht in 2009 and projects a sales target at 900 million Baht in 2010. The 10% growth is due to its confidence in positive internal and external catalysts, whether economical, political or personnel. In 2010, Royal House will continue to focus on sound construction system and solid residential structure, which it provides a guarantee of 15 long years. In addition to system and structure, Royal House also places high priority on services and craftsmanship as it has continually trained and developed all of its personnel to give quality services to its customers during the past 5 years.

Mr.Waiyawit Hanwiriyaritha, Royal House’s Design Consultant, further adds that the company has continuously developed its designs to answer to the needs of its customers in all segments. Lately, the company has launched a new inexpensive home series, which was developed in response to the needs of a sizable group of trusted customers who need medium-sized homes with usable areas ranging from 167 – 200 SQM from Royal House.

THAI President & Star Alliance CEO Strengthen Alliance Cooperation

Thai Airways International President Mr. Piyasvasti Amranand today met with Star Alliance CEO Mr. Jaan Albrecht in Bangkok to discuss future strategies and cooperation under the Alliance.


In 1997, THAI was the first Asian member to join Star Alliance during its founding, which has now grown into a strong 26 member alliance. Mr. Amranand signaled the importance he associated to Star Alliance membership by attending the recent Chief Executive Board meeting in Brussels, Belgium in December 2009.

Mr. Albrecht, a former pilot and senior executive at Mexicana Airlines, has been CEO of Star Alliance since 2001. He has steered the Alliance through a rapid growth period over the past nine years.

Speaking about Star Alliance membership, Mr. Piyasvasti Amranand, THAI President, said, “I am determined to extract as much competitive advantage from our membership in Star Alliance as possible. THAI must use the obvious advantages Star Alliance offers, such as the largest connected network in the world, the cost saving opportunities it offers, the access to technologies and value added benefits, such as frequent flyer mile earnings and redemptions across all 26 carriers.”

Mr. Jaan Albrecht, Star Alliance CEO, said, “THAI has shown a constant and continual commitment to Star Alliance throughout since its founding in 1997. We are ready to assist THAI in developing new strategies, which will enhance the airline’s competitiveness and support its active role in Star Alliance.”
