Siam Piwat, a leading Thai retail and real estate developer, has announced a $300 million investment in ICONPHUKET, a groundbreaking project set to open in 2029. This ambitious development aims to transform Phuket into a global destination by integrating retail, entertainment, and cultural experiences.
ICONPHUKET will be a first-of-its-kind hybrid retail and entertainment destination, featuring 12 extraordinary attractions designed to captivate both Thai and international visitors. The project will highlight the cultural heritage and economic potential of Southern Thailand's 14 provinces, offering a platform for local wisdom and products to reach global audiences.
The development is part of the larger Synthesis Ark Phuket, a mixed-use megaproject valued at over $1.5 billion. This expansive project will include residences, hotels, offices, and wellness facilities, with more than 40% dedicated to green spaces. It aims to support sustainable urban growth and create 50,000 to 80,000 jobs from construction to full operations.
Chadatip Chutrakul, CEO of Siam Piwat, stated, "ICONPHUKET represents the next chapter of our vision to create destinations that generate economic value whilst showcasing Thailand's strengths to the world." The project is expected to attract 80,000 to 100,000 visitors daily, boosting tourism and economic activity in the region.
Further details about ICONPHUKET will be revealed in the coming months, as Siam Piwat continues to redefine destination development in Thailand.
