In a remarkable initiative that seamlessly blends Indian culture with global investment opportunities, a replica of Pune’s renowned Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Temple has been established in the scenic island of Phuket, Thailand. This unique development not only promotes Marathi cultural heritage on an international platform but also opens up attractive real estate investment avenues for Indian—especially Maharashtrian—buyers.
This visionary initiative has been led by Dubai-based entrepreneur and Global President of the Gulf Maharashtra Business Forum, Dr. Sunil V. Manjjarekar. Through a strategic collaboration between SQCC Properties LLC (Dubai, UAE) and Phuket9 Real Estate Development (Thailand), premium residential and commercial projects equipped with world-class amenities are being developed in Phuket.
Located near Phuket’s pristine beaches, these thoughtfully planned developments offer a serene, nature-rich environment, making them an ideal choice for Indian investors looking to own property abroad.
The official announcement of the project was made at an exclusive event held at JW Marriott, Sahar, Mumbai, in the esteemed presence of Ms. Papachsorn Meepa (“Kae”), Founder of Phuket9. The event was graced by Mr. Ravindra Mangave, President of the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Industry & Agriculture, as the Chief Guest.
The story behind the Dagdusheth Ganpati temple replica in Phuket is equally inspiring. During his visit to the island, Dr. Manjjarekar was impressed to witness traditional Hindu rituals such as Shodashopachar Pooja, Aarti, and Bhajans being performed at the temple, with active participation from international visitors. The temple has been meticulously recreated by the father of Ms. Papachsorn Meepa, who herself is deeply involved in its upkeep and spiritual activities. Moved by her deep respect and love for Indian culture, Dr. Manjjarekar took the initiative to create real estate investment opportunities for Indian buyers in Phuket.
Phuket9, established in 2004, is a trusted name in Phuket’s real estate sector, known for its expertise in development, construction, and property management. Its portfolio includes hotels, condominiums, and luxury villas, all supported by professional management services.
Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Papachsorn Meepa (“Kae”) said,
“Our goal is to build a strong and stable company for our customers, partners, and team. This vision continues to bring more positive and like-minded people together. We are always happy to welcome you to our main office for a personal meeting. Welcome to Phuket!”
Dr. Sunil V. Manjjarekar added, “Phuket is not just a tourist destination; it is an emerging hub for safe and rewarding investments for Indians. With the added connection of Marathi culture and world-class infrastructure, this project presents a truly unique and compelling opportunity.”
Real estate investment remains one of the most reliable ways to preserve and grow capital. With rising tourism, limited land availability, and planned development, Phuket’s property market continues to show strong and sustained growth.
Phuket9’s full-cycle approach—from in-depth market research and turnkey development to professional property management—ensures consistent and reliable returns for investors. The company also offers complimentary consultations and personalized project presentations to help clients make informed decisions.
