🏗️ Thai government lifted construction height restriction in Phuket from 80 to 140 meters, affecting "zone 6" excluding coastal areas, protected hills, and densely populated regions. Previously unbuildable lands above 80 meters can now have low-rise buildings (max 6 meters high, less than 90 m²) with 70% green space. All buildings require environmental impact assessments. The change could significantly increase property values for lands above 80 meters altitude.

🏗️ In Phuket, Thailand, the government lifted the 80-meter height restriction for construction, allowing buildings up to 140 meters in designated zones, excluding coastal areas, protected hills, and densely populated regions. This change benefits landowners whose properties exceeded 80 meters in altitude and were previously unbuildable. New regulations require constructions to have a maximum height of 6 meters, a modest surface area below 90 m², and maintain at least 70% of natural land with green spaces. Environmental impact assessments are mandatory for potential flood or landslide risks. These rules limit building forms to individual structures rather than complexes or villas, potentially increasing property values above 80 meters.
