Most-read stories last week

Thailand property and real estate news on Dot Property Group’s websites – including the largest English language property portal and the fastest-growing bilingual website – were attracting page views from around the world last week.

With the eyes of the world fixed on Thailand after the events of last Monday, Thailand’s property sector is waiting to see what effect the explosions, and the subsequent worldwide media coverage, will have.

The good news so far is that, at least as far as page views to the English news pages of Dot Property Group are concerned, there was no change week-on-week in the number of people researching and reading the news stories and informative columns on the most prolific publisher of English language property news in Thailand.

Attracting most attention for the week ending Sunday, August 23, was our story revealing the shortlisted developers and projects for the annual Thailand Property Awards. The gala dinner and presentations for this year’s event, widely regarded as the ‘Oscars’ of the Thailand property and real estate industry, takes place next month in Bangkok.

Second in the list of most-read stories last week was our exclusive story about how interest in Thailand property and real estate had dropped during July, according to a U.K.-based overseas property website and its monthly Top of the Props report surveying where its users are searching.

Rounding off the top three most-read stories last week was our report based on research from the Nexus real estate agency suggesting that Bangkok property prices are set to rise next year, and the capital could see record property prices of between THB 400,000 per sqm and THB 500,000 per sqm before the end of the year.
