Findings from a study by Colliers International revealed that tourist destinations such as Hua Hin, Rayong, Koh Samui and Phuket would be the most popular places for Scandinavian money to go to.
Villas, resorts and condominiums were the most popular projects with Sweden being the most prominent investor on the list.
