Norbert Witthinrich at The C9 Sessions Luxury Edition Phuket

Norbert Witthinrich Speaks at The C9 Sessions Luxury Edition in Phuket

TL;DR

Some days remind us why we do what we do. Yesterday was one of them.

As Phuket welcomed the start of high season, The C9 Sessions: The Luxury Edition brought together the people shaping the island’s future in the Similan Ballroom at SAii Laguna Phuket, right here in Choeng Thale on our west coast. Our founder and CEO, Norbert Witthinrich, was proud to be one of the speakers.

Now that the event has wrapped up, we want to share the moment with you, with gratitude for the community that made it happen and a warm look at what it means for Phuket.

Norbert on Stage: The Luxury Property Customer

Norbert joined the panel The Luxury Property Customer: Who They Are, What They Want, sharing the stage with Kohei Takei, Managing Director of List Sotheby’s International Realty Thailand, and Christian Schwind, Partner and Managing Director of Thailand Group. The conversation was moderated by Sumi Soorian, Luxury Project Director for Southern Thailand at Robb Report Thailand.

It is a simple question with a deep answer. Who is the person behind every home, and what do they truly want? It is the question we have been listening to, one family and one home at a time, for more than 27 years.

Why a Local Voice Matters

SEA Property is a local agency. Phuket is not just where we work, it is where we live, raise our families and spend our weekends. Since Norbert founded SEA Property, we have grown with the island through more than 27 years, and every one of those years has taught us something about the people who fall in love with Phuket.

That is what a local voice brings to a stage like this: not only numbers, but stories. The quiet hopes behind a villa search, the questions people are shy to ask, the small details that turn a house into a home. We are glad to share that understanding openly, because when the whole community understands you better, Phuket becomes a better place to call home.

What We Have Learned About What You Want

Panels are a moment; listening is a lifetime. From our years on the west coast, here is what we feel matters most to the people we welcome to Phuket:

These are our own reflections from many years of listening, shared from the heart.

A Glimpse of the Wider Afternoon

Norbert’s panel was one of twelve sessions, hosted by Cream Sunthornpalin. The full programme also explored:

A big thank you to C9 Hotelworks, Mrs. B Group and Delivering Asia, and to partners including SAii Laguna Phuket, Robb Report Thailand and Gardens of Eden, for bringing the community together.

How This Benefits Phuket and Its Real Estate Trends

Of course, one afternoon is a beginning rather than a promise. Markets take time and every journey is personal. What gives us confidence is the spirit in the room: people who care deeply about Phuket’s long term future.

Supporting Our Phuket Community, Together With You

At SEA Property, we are a family that loves Phuket. Being part of The C9 Sessions is one more way we give back to the island that has given us so much, by sharing what more than 27 years as a local agency have taught us.

Phuket is full of life. One day you are at the beach, the next you are discovering a new restaurant, a wellness retreat or an art space. You never get bored here, and you can truly build the life you want. We are glad to deliver great things to you, and we would love to walk beside you as you find your place.
