REIC data for H1 2026 show Prachuap Khiri Khan and Phetchaburi housing markets slowing. In Phetchaburi, condo new sales fell 81.9% and remaining condo stock would take about 232 months (roughly 19 years) to absorb at current pace; landed houses need about 71 months. Prachuap new sales fell 33% overall. Developers are slowing launches and clearing stock. For Thai SMEs in these provinces, expect weaker property-linked demand (construction, furnishing, sales agents, local retail). Hold off on expansion or new property-dependent investment; the M82 motorway and the southern double-track rail are cited as future demand drivers, but no timeline for recovery is given.
