Published on January 1, 2025

In the heart of Bangkok's bustling Convent-Sathorn district, Proud Real Estate Plc. has introduced Romm Convent, a project that redefines luxury urban living. Positioned as a premier wellness residence, this exclusive development blends timeless elegance with holistic well-being, embodying the company’s “ALL IS WELL” philosophy.

With just 175 residences, each designed to offer panoramic views of the city, Romm Convent combines innovative biological architecture with an unwavering focus on health and sustainability. The project integrates natural air circulation and heat reduction features, ensuring a refreshing and healthy living environment. Scheduled to achieve Fitwel certification by early 2025, this emphasis on wellness elevates the property beyond a mere residence to a sanctuary of well-being.

Romm Convent's design prioritizes privacy and exclusivity, with only eight units per floor, ranging from spacious two-bedroom Balcony Suites to luxurious four-bedroom penthouses. Residents will enjoy access to The Sky Retreat, a three-story haven of state-of-the-art amenities catering to diverse lifestyles. The development also features partnerships with leading medical institutions such as BNH Hospital, offering on-site wellness services and VVIP privileges, including access to the hospital’s exclusive lounge and discounts on medical services.

Bangkok’s real estate market continues to thrive, driven by its status as a global hub for tourism, health, and wellness. The Convent-Sathorn area stands out as a strategic location for upscale developments, attracting expatriates and digital nomads. Amid a landscape of mixed-use megaprojects, Romm Convent offers a unique investment opportunity with anticipated rental yields of 5-6%.

Executive Director Ms. Proudputh Liptapanlop highlighted the vision behind Romm Convent, emphasizing the importance of creating a breathable and sustainable urban ecosystem in a rapidly expanding city. Bangkok’s CBD, anchored around Lumpini Park, remains the epicenter of development, with its rich history of growth and transformation. Despite trends toward suburbanization, the inner city continues to play a pivotal role in economic and cultural life, with new projects reinforcing its global stature.

Romm Convent captures the essence of this dynamic city, offering a lifestyle of luxury, wellness, and exclusivity. For the discerning urbanite, it represents more than a residence—it is a retreat, a lifestyle choice, and a sound investment in the heart of Bangkok.

Jammu & Kashmir Charts Bold Tourism Revival with ₹5,600-Crore Expansion Plan

Jammu & Kashmir Charts Bold Tourism Revival with ₹5,600-Crore Expansion Plan

Jammu & Kashmir’s tourism sector is experiencing a strong comeback, with more than 4 lakh devotees visiting the holy Amarnath shrine this season, a clear sign of the region’s renewed appeal after challenging years.

Speaking at the FAITH Conclave 2025, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah highlighted that J&K offers two distinct travel experiences: pilgrimage tourism in Jammu and leisure tourism in Kashmir. He stressed that both require sustained investment and innovation to ensure visitors not only arrive once but return for more.

“My success will not be measured by how many tourists come for the first time, but by how many choose to come back. For that, the quality of their experience is key,” Abdullah said.

To address crowding at popular spots and open fresh opportunities, the J&K Government, in partnership with the Government of India, has launched SPREAD, a ₹5,600-crore transformative project supported by multilateral funding, with hopeful participation from the World Bank. The initiative will develop nine purpose-built, sustainable tourism destinations across Jammu and Kashmir, backed by improved infrastructure, better connectivity, and modern amenities.

Adventure tourism is also on the agenda, with Gulmarg set for upgraded winter sports facilities in collaboration with private partners, aiming to meet global skiing and adventure standards. Trekking routes will reopen following comprehensive security reviews to ensure visitor safety.

The plan extends beyond leisure and adventure to untapped segments like pilgrimage and border tourism in Jammu—going beyond the famous Mata Vaishnodevi shrine to include vibrant experiences such as the Suchetgarh border tourism circuit.

Praising the region’s timeless charm, Abdullah remarked,“Kashmir was heaven on earth long before Kerala was God’s own country. The road ahead is now filled with light, and with the support of industry partners and associations like FAITH, we will continue to grow stronger.”

From the world’s tallest arched railway bridge to snow-covered ski slopes, rich spiritual heritage, and pristine landscapes, Jammu & Kashmir is positioning itself as a year-round destination. The government’s approach blends infrastructure development with sustainable practices, keeping hope, optimism, and faith at the heart of its tourism vision.
