Building communities and socialize in Your Pattaya

  • 8 years ago

My dad always used to say: “It doesn’t matter who you know. What matters is who knows you!” And there’s a lot of truth in that…

Town & Country Property Pattaya is well known on the local real estate scene in Chonburi. As one of the oldest professional agencies, we’ve always been at the forefront of shaping Pattaya into a better place to live, invest, and grow.

Networking Beyond Property

It starts with YOU — and how you operate your business with professionalism. But to reach larger audiences, you must be proactive.

At the end of the day, it’s a numbers game with only so many fish in the pond. That’s why we became members of several Chambers of Commerce in Thailand, attending and sponsoring networking functions. These events not only support the good work of the Chambers but also highlight our presence in the Eastern Seaboard business community.

Networking works. Especially on a microscale, it’s important to know who the real players are. Pattaya has grown enormously, but the core business league remains largely the same — and we’re proud to be part of it.

Lighthouse Club Pattaya

When I was asked to rescue the Lighthouse Club Pattaya (LHC) by becoming chairman, I didn’t hesitate. With a few changes, the LHC suddenly sparked into the Pattaya business community.

Monthly gatherings at prestigious hotels became diary‑changing events: more fun, more interaction, more entertainment, and more connections.

Movers & Shakers

In 2009, we introduced Movers & Shakers (M&S) — an annual gala with golf outings by day and entertainment by night. It was a mega success in Pattaya and later expanded to Bangkok.

Seed sponsors like Kingdom Property, Tulip Group, Heights Holdings, Riviera Group, and One‑Tower Group helped make M&S a big success in both cities.

This bridged the gap between Bangkok and Pattaya, and soon major developers like Sansiri, Q‑House, LPN, Major Development, and SC Asset entered the Pattaya housing market.

Recognition and Results

Through years of proactive policy, Town & Country Property earned a spotlight:

  • First agent chosen to work with Q‑House PLC in 30 years
  • Preferred agents for global companies like KBR Inc, Impex, Brunel, and Cardinal Health
  • Our project The Meadows nominated “Best Villa Project Thailand” by the Thailand Property Awards
  • Awarded Best SME Entrepreneur by the Netherlands‑Thai Chamber of Commerce in 2015

But our biggest accomplishment? Hosting 60+ events with 15,000 attendees, raising over 4 million Baht for local children’s charities.

Friendships were made. Businesses connected. Communities grew stronger.

Pattaya Today

Thailand is a great place to live and work. Pattaya is special.

With its mix of expat lifestyle, international schools, modern healthcare, and a thriving property market — from condos for sale in Jomtien to villas in East Pattaya and beachfront homes in Wong Amat — the city continues to attract both residents and investors.

Let’s Talk

    Thank you very much for this article about networking in Pattaya and Bangkok.
    I always enjoyed the events as a gathering place to meet other like-minded individuals.
    It is too bad that the Covid-19 pandemic has put a hold on this. I really miss it.
    Do you think Movers & Shakers will be coming back with regular networking events in Pattaya and Bangkok? I saw many of the events were sponsored by real estate professionals and leaders in the property industry here in Thailand. Do you also accept others to sponsor?
    I am the owner of a small furniture factory in Laem Chabang.

      Hi Liam – thanks for your nice comments.
      We also miss the Movers & Shakers networking events.
      I am sure they will resume again after the Covid crises.
      People want to socialize, don’t they?
      Since 2009 – the start of Movers & Shakers, we were mostly supported by residential property developers and others in the real estate industry.
      In some cases also by related suppliers, like elevator companies.
      Some people thought that Movers & Shakers events were only attended by professional real estate agencies – but nothing could be further from the truth.
      Apart from real estate agents and brokers, professional property agencies, and developers, the events were attended by “business” people in general.
      And the events have done a lot for charity which is a bonus. Town & Country Property Pattaya thinks that giving back to society is a great thing to do.
      It shows character.

    I miss Movers & Shakers! The only REAL social network in Pattaya!
    Really loved the events and made a lot of friends there.
    I am so sad this Covid-19 stuff is dragging on… Maybe a silly question, but do you know when you will resume these networking events again?

      Hi Mia, many thanks for your kind reaction here. Many people with you are missing the Movers & Shakers events.
      But, even when restrictions are lifted, I am not certain if this corporate network will resume quickly.
      Many industries are hit hard because of the pandemic and the first thing to cut are marketing expenses.
      M&S has helped many property developers in the past, and their budgets were well spent.
      God only knows how fast the economy will recover and sponsors are queuing up again in support of Movers & Shakers.
