Amidst the slowdown in Thailand’s real estate market due to various factors such as economic slowdown and a surge in loan rejections, one segment in the real estate industry stands out: the warehouse business<\/strong>.

The EEC has attracted significant interest from foreign investors, leading to a 50.12% increase in land transactions<\/strong> during the first three quarters of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
