IQI is making waves in Thailand! The leading prop-tech, Juwai IQI is thrilled to announce the launch of its brand-new office in Pattaya!
A city that is known as Thailand’s most sought-after beachfront destinations.
With Pattaya now accounting for 36% of all foreign property investments in the country, this new office further strengthens IQI’s growing presence across Thailand, joining the existing locations in Bangkok, Phuket, and Koh Samui.
“Pattaya is an important market for us, and we already assist both developers and buyers there,” said Juwai IQI Co-Founder and Group CEO, Kashif Ansari.
“For foreign buyers, Pattaya has become nearly as important a market as Bangkok as a prime destination for foreign property buyers.”
“[…] In fact, in the first half of 2024, Pattaya, the coastal province that is home to Pattaya, ranked higher than Bangkok as the top destination for foreign property buyers, according to the official data.”
“For the first nine months of the year, 39% of all foreign condo purchases were in Bangkok, compared to 36% in Pattaya. Together, Bangkok and Pattaya represented roughly three-quarters of all foreign condo purchases in Thailand.”

Kashif further explained that Juwai IQI’s new office in Pattaya is a testament to their commitment to serving Thailand’s market.
As the Land of Smiles continues to attract buyers from their global IQI network spanning more than 32 countries, Pattaya remains a key focus.
This is especially true for buyers from China, who represent the dominant group, accounting for approximately 40% of all foreign condo transactions.
According to the Juwai IQI Chinese Buyer Enquiry Index, Chinese demand for Thai property surged in early 2025.
Enquiries increased by 18% in the first two months of the year compared to the same period in 2024, despite February’s data still being incomplete.
Juwai IQI Co-Founder and Group Managing Director, Daniel Ho said:
“The launch of IQI Pattaya will enable us to provide better services, increase the number of transactions we complete, and better utilise our technology to increase productivity and lead generation in the market.”
Daniel also stated that tourism is clearly one driver of foreign demand for residential real estate in Pattaya, but the Eastern Economic Corridor, also called the ‘EEC,’ is another major demand driver.
“Under the EEC, Thailand is making massive investments. Two of these will significantly improve foreign demand for residential real estate: the expansion of the U-Tapao International Airport near Pattaya and the new high-speed rail between Bangkok and Pattaya.”

Patrick Lewinger, the appointed Head of IQI Pattaya, brings over a decade of regional real estate expertise to the team.
Expressing his enthusiasm about joining Juwai IQI, Lewinger shared his vision for the local market, saying:
“By joining IQI, we gain access to a global network, advanced technology like the Atlas super app, and world-class training and resources that will multiply our productivity and increase the number of buyers and developers we can serve.”

Pattaya’s ongoing infrastructure enhancements mixed with Thailand’s attractive visa options are drawing expats and digital nomads from all over the world.
“We think demand will increase through future market cycles. Within 10 years, foreign buyers will have made 30,000 to 50,000 new acquisitions of condos in Pattaya, according to current trends,” said Lewinger.
The establishment of IQI Pattaya aligns with the city’s economic growth and its reputation as a leading real estate hub.
With this announcement, IQI reaffirms its commitment to delivering exceptional service and expertise to clients and investors in Pattaya and throughout Thailand.
