Previously, there were projects priced higher than these, but they were sold out.

"However, considering the single house priced at 297 million baht and the average price of houses currently sold being 5.513 million baht per unit, the median could be as low as 4 million baht," Sophon said.

“This means that at least the wealthiest individuals, who can afford the most expensive houses, are approximately 74 times richer than the average person (according to the median). However, many billionaires have evaluated properties where houses and land could be priced up to 2 billion baht, equivalent to the price of 500 houses purchased by ordinary villagers."
