Thailand's Housing Authority launched a rental housing project in Laem Chabang, Chonburi—a key EEC zone—offering 544 affordable units at ฿2,000–2,400/month. Phase 1 is already 50% leased, primarily to workers in nearby industrial estates. Proximity to three industrial zones, transport links, and essential services makes it attractive for SME workers; future Phase 2 expansion is planned.
