Strategic Location and Infrastructure Upgrades Strategically located in the Nong Kae area, VEHHA Hua Hin offers unparalleled convenience. It is just 700 meters from the beach, steps from the train station, and a short five-minute drive to Hua Hin’s vibrant downtown. This prime location ensures a harmonious blend of accessibility and tranquility, making it an ideal choice for vacation homes, retirement residences, expatriates, digital nomads, and long-term investments. Hua Hin’s appeal as a premium destination is further bolstered by significant infrastructure upgrades, including: Highway 35 (M35) Upgrade: Will cut Bangkok–Hua Hin drive time to 1 hour by late 2025. Dual-Track Railway: In use since 2023, cutting Hua Hin train time by 25%. High-Speed Rail: Will reduce Bangkok–Hua Hin travel to 1 hour once complete. Hua Hin Airport Expansion: Finishing in 2026, upgrading to international standards and boosting tourism. Thailand Riviera Project: 950 km coastal road across 12 provinces to enhance tourism and local economies. Hua Hin: A Timeless and Evolving Destination Hua Hin, a destination steeped in history and charm, has evolved into a world-class retreat for travelers and residents alike. Its stunning beaches, cultural landmarks, and tranquil atmosphere make it a preferred choice for those seeking a blend of relaxation and modern convenience. With travel times from Bangkok ranging between 2 to 3.5 hours, Hua Hin has become increasingly accessible, attracting both Thai and international visitors. The town’s compact geography and scarcity of prime real estate, particularly in beachfront and city-center locations, have driven demand for high-rise developments, making projects like VEHHA Hua Hin highly desirable. Real Estate Growth and Investment Opportunities Hua Hin’s real estate market continues to demonstrate steady growth, with annual increases of 5 to 7 percent over the past five years. A report by Colliers Thailand highlights the strong momentum of high-rise developments in the region, particularly across Hua Hin, Cha-Am, and Pranburi, with 76 percent of launched units sold by the end of 2024. Buyer demographics reveal that 85 percent of units are sold to Thai nationals, with the remaining 15 percent purchased by foreign investors from countries such as Germany, the United States, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. At VEHHA Hua Hin, however, foreign buyers account for approximately 50% of current sales—significantly higher than the regional average—with most coming from the United States and European countries. This reflects strong international confidence in the project’s design, quality, and alignment with global lifestyle expectations. Luxury rental yields in Hua Hin range between 4 to 6.5 percent annually, with VEHHA Hua Hin expected to deliver yields of 5.5 to 6 percent, making it an attractive option for investors seeking stable returns. A Vision for the Future Ms. Proudputh envisions Hua Hin as a “destination of the future”, uniquely positioned to attract international demand despite domestic economic challenges. “Hua Hin offers a unique lifestyle rooted in wellness, blending natural beauty, cultural charm, and modern conveniences,” she remarked. The scarcity of prime land in Hua Hin, particularly in central and beachfront locations, has made high-rise developments like VEHHA Hua Hin increasingly rare and sought-after. With its unrestricted ocean views, luxurious amenities, and award-winning design, VEHHA Hua Hin represents a transformative vision for the future of wellness living in Thailand.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 June 2025 – Swee Heng Group is expanding its new bakery concept, Toast & Roll, with several new outlets opening across Singapore in 2025. The brand’s latest retail expansion aims to introduce a modern, grab-and-go bakery experience to more neighbourhoods, following a strong customer response to its first few locations. Swee Heng Introduces More Toast & Roll Locations Islandwide Bringing a Fresh Concept to Familiar Neighbourhoods Initially launched to provide a new experience distinct from Swee Heng’s existing brands like Swee Heng 1989 Classic, Toast & Roll has grown steadily since its debut. The company has opened outlets at Jurong Point, Oasis Terraces, Tampines MRT, Novena Square, and Bedok Mall. This year, upcoming locations are set to open at The LINQ @ Beauty World, Lentor Modern, West Mall, and Heartland Mall Kovan. The decision to expand Toast & Roll stems from evolving consumer preferences, particularly a demand for bakery products that are not only high in quality but also lifestyle-oriented and convenient. With a broadened menu focusing on toasts and cake rolls but complemented by croissants, Danish pastries, tarts, and festive exclusives, the brand looks to tap into a growing appetite for artisanal, portable baked goods with a modern twist. “Toast & Roll is perfectly positioned to meet these expectations, especially with our Research and Development team constantly innovating and adapting to global influences,” shared a spokesperson from Swee Heng Group. “This growth journey allows us to stay ahead of consumer trends and present new ideas in a form that’s exciting, modern, and highly relatable.” Creating Value for All Stakeholders However, the value does not end with the customer. This retail expansion is also slated to create opportunities for employees through internal mobility, cross-training, and leadership development across outlets. For stakeholders, the growth supports long-term brand equity by enhancing visibility and improving the innovation pipeline. Each new outlet contributes to the company’s operational scale, helping Swee Heng respond quickly to market changes while ensuring consistency across service and quality. New Loyalty App to Enhance Customer Experience Alongside this broader retail expansion, Swee Heng is also preparing to launch a new loyalty app that will integrate rewards and payment functions across all brands within the Group. Designed to streamline the customer experience, the app will allow users to earn and redeem points, make in-app payments, and purchase or gift vouchers. By offering these functions on a single platform, the brand aims to enhance convenience while encouraging greater engagement across outlets, including Toast & Roll. It also reflects Swee Heng’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its digital presence and provide customers with a more seamless and connected way to interact with its offerings. Positioning for Long-Term Growth Despite facing challenges such as location scouting, recruitment, and operational alignment, Swee Heng has leveraged its experience and infrastructure to support a smooth rollout of the new Toast & Roll outlets. A spokesperson for the company noted, “Toast & Roll is a strong example of our ability to move beyond traditional formats and launch bold, differentiated concepts that still align with our heritage and quality standards. Its success and expansion reinforce our position as a brand builder with an innovative edge.” By developing a brand that both complements and refreshes its core identity, Swee Heng aims to continue shaping bakery trends in Singapore while extending its market presence and industry relevance.

This marks a strategic milestone as the hospital, Thailand’s first private heart center, celebrates its 20th anniversary with a renewed commitment to precision medicine and regional leadership in minimally invasive cardiac care. MISC CABG Operation Having treated over a million patients with complex heart conditions, the hospital now offers next-generation procedures that minimize trauma, recovery time, and post-operative risks while delivering outcomes comparable to traditional open-heart surgery. “We’ve proudly pioneered off-pump CABG as our signature approach, and today, we take another leap forward,” said Dr. Kriengkrai Hengrussamee Hospital Director – Bangkok Heart Hospital. “By advancing into minimally invasive heart surgery, we are improving patients’ quality of life while highlighting Bangkok’s role as a destination for advanced cardiac care. MICS CABG, led by cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Nuttapon Arayawudhikul, allows surgeons to perform bypass procedures through a 7–10 cm incision between the ribs, avoiding the need to open the chest or use a heart-lung machine. This approach is ideal for patients with isolated left coronary artery disease and offers faster recovery with fewer complications. The Totally 3D Endoscopic Valve Surgery program, developed by Dr. Paradorn Jetwanna, repairs or replaces valves through a 4–5 cm incision using high-resolution 3D imaging. Suitable for mitral and aortic valve procedures and even congenital defects like atrial septal defect (ASD), the technique improves surgical precision and accelerates recovery. “This technology lets us operate in tight spaces without disturbing major structures,” said Dr. Paradorn. “Patients recover faster with outcomes equivalent to traditional surgery.” Bangkok Heart Hospital has invested in hybrid operating rooms (hybrid ORs), specialized surgical teams trained overseas, and fully integrated support systems for Thai, expat, and international patients. As part of BDMS, the hospital plans to expand MICS capabilities to other facilities in the network. Aligned with Thailand’s strategy to become a global medical hub, this milestone positions Bangkok as a leading destination for advanced, minimally invasive heart treatment in Asia.
