Effective from 1st February, CBRE has promoted Ms. Prakaipeth Meechoosarn (Khun Pet), General Manager- Resort Property to a Director.

Despite the slowdown in the resort property sales, Ms. Prakaipeth has been able to complete several major transactions of luxury villas and condominiums in Phuket last year and has maintained CBRE’s position as the leading international agent in Phuket and Samui and has successfully launched the Conrad Koh Samui Residences.
Ms. Preeti Tanwani, an integral part of CBRE Thailand’s resort marketing team in supporting Mr. David Simister, Chairman and Ms. Prakaipeth has been promoted to Associate Director. She has been working with CBRE since 2006 and has been involved in the design development, marketing consultancy of many top-end and branded residences and the planning and implementation of sole agency marketing plans on projects including Shangri-La’s Phuket Resort & Spa, W Koh Samui Residences and Conrad Koh Samui Residences. In addition, she also runs regional and international PR of Thailand’s resort markets.
Recently, Preeti and Pet planned and executed the sell out within 2 months of Song Saa Island Resort, Cambodia’s first international resort.
“We are pleased to announce the promotion of both Khun Pet and Khun Preeti, the key members of our resort operation. CBRE remains firmly committed in the sale and promotion of resort property in the region and internationally. With the resources our two directors bring, we will continue to advice developers and help them maximise their opportunities in the Phuket and Samui markets. With the global downturn last year, market research and consultancy has become a critical part to a project’s success. CBRE is uniquely positioned to offer the best advice to developers with our extensive knowledge base and presence in these markets” said David Simister, Chairman, CBRE Thailand.
