Mr. Kanjanapas said, “I invested in The Unicorn project because I believe that it will meet the needs of the business sector as well as tourists, both domestically and internationally, because this area is a travel connection hub and an important economic district. Therefore, I am confident that this building will be a new landmark of the Phayathai area that will help stimulate the economy. I am especially happy about the fact that we will have a new government. The people, myself included, hope that the new government will carry out the policy as announced, which will drive the country’s development, economic progress, make Thai people wealthier, as well as promote the return of foreigners to Thailand, both to invest and travel.”
