PROUD Launches its Second InterContinental Branded Residences in Thailand, Redefining Luxury Living on Phuket’s Kamala Beach
For over 20 years, IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) and PROUD’s management team have fostered a strong partnership, delivering successful hotel developments and residential projects under various global brands. PROUD’s first InterContinental branded residences, the InterContinental Residences Hua Hin, achieved remarkable market success and set a new benchmark for luxury living in the region, contributing to the increase in average property prices in Hua Hin.
PROUD continue this success with the launch of The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort — a prestigious development with an investment exceeding THB 2.5 billion (around $77 million USD) that redefines luxury living on Kamala Beach, Phuket. The development is completed with services from InterContinental Phuket Resort, the only InterContinental property in the world to receive the prestigious Two Michelin Keys award.
Mr. Pasu Liptapanlop, Director of PROUD, said “Drawing upon our extensive experience and proven success in developing world-class luxury real estate projects across Bangkok and Hua Hin, PROUD is now ready to expand our residential development into Phuket province, a world-class destination regarded as one of Asia’s most highly sought-after luxury real estate city.”

Ms. Proudputh Liptapanlop, Director of PROUD, added “The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort has been designed under the concept of ‘Live Beyond Boundaries in Paradise’. This ultra-exclusive residential development comprises only 111 units, situated in Phuket’s renowned ‘Millionaire Mile‘—a prestigious enclave celebrated for its natural beauty and affluent lifestyle. Nestled within this ‘Hidden Gem’ of the island, residents enjoy serene surroundings alongside convenient access to essential lifestyle amenities.”
The project features architectural design inspired by the concept of a “Far East Paradise”, conveying heavenly beauty that creates a unified narrative from the adjacent resort to its new residential development. This is achieved through artful incorporation of distinctive Sino-European and Peranakan cultural influences throughout its design. The residences offer spacious layouts with generously sized balconies, available in configurations ranging from 58-square-metre one-bedroom units to expansive 425-square-metre five-bedroom penthouses. Each unit is delivered fully furnished with premium furniture, with prices starting at 15 million baht.
In addition, every aspect of the residence has been carefully designed to enhance quality of life and relaxation. Common areas feature advanced technologies such as Hydro Massage, Aqua Symphony, and Technogym Fitness. The design seamlessly integrates nature, allowing residents to experience it from every area. This is complemented by sustainability elements including solar panel installations and waste and water management systems. It is also preparing for global Fitwel Certification — an accreditation for buildings that promote occupant wellness, a key philosophy that sets PROUD’s residential developments apart.
Residents can also enjoy access to a range of services and facilities, including 24/7 concierge support, as well as resident-only pools, entertainment, and function spaces. Additionally, they benefit from easy access to the Micheline recognised restaurants, spa, and yacht services available through the adjacent InterContinental Phuket Resort. Other perks include IHG One Rewards membership status benefits for selected customers, and PROUD privileges curated to enhance the residents’ lifestyle.
Mr. Bjorn Courage, General Manager of InterContinental Phuket Resort and President of Phuket Hotels Association, added “Our resort has evolved beyond being solely a place of leisure to become a world-class luxury destination, addressing the needs of discerning travelers seeking a diverse range of luxury lifestyle experiences. In addition to elegantly appointed accommodations and comprehensive facilities, guests are provided with exceptional opportunities such as dining at award-winning restaurants, savouring sunset views with signature beverages at our beachfront bar, and rejuvenating both body and mind through holistic treatments at Sati Spa. Each element is thoughtfully integrated to deliver a memorable and distinctive experience, embodying true luxury and the authentic lifestyle of Phuket, which we can now extend to the residents.”
Mr. Bhummikitti Ruktaengam, Vice President of the Tourism Council of Thailand and President of Phuket, Sustainable Tourism Development Foundation, added “Kamala has established itself as one of Phuket’s most comprehensive and luxurious lifestyle destinations. Not only will the development of luxury hotel services and the emergence of The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort perfectly reflect the area’s transformation into the ‘Millionaire Mile’, but there are also many sustainable development plans for the surrounding Kamala area from both government and private sectors that will enhance convenience and completeness whilst maintaining the charm and exclusivity that keeps Kamala Beach luxurious and desirable forever.”

Holistic Way Unveils New Plant-Based Menopause Relief Supplement
As awareness around women’s health continues to grow, menopause remains a life stage that is frequently underserved by mainstream health solutions. JR Life Sciences is responding to this gap with a science-backed, plant-derived formulation that offers a natural alternative to conventional hormone-based therapies, one that is both accessible and aligned with the preferences of today’s health-conscious consumer.
Menopause Relief is a once-daily capsule containing three plant-based phytoestrogens, each selected for their clinically studied benefits in managing menopause symptoms and supporting long-term health. The formulation is free from synthetic hormones and is suitable for both vegetarian and vegan diets, making it broadly accessible across diverse consumer lifestyles.
Key active ingredients include:
- Lifenol Hops Extract (8-PN phytoestrogen): Shown to lessen hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, restlessness and irritability while helping to maintain total-body bone-mineral density.
- Flax Lignan (SDG phytoestrogen): Provides gentle hormonal support that helps balance oestrogen levels during the transition.
- Soy Isoflavone (genistein and daidzein): Supports bone strength, reduces hot flashes and steadies mild mood swings.
The launch of Menopause Relief reflects a broader strategic priority for JR Life Sciences: to expand its women’s health portfolio in response to growing consumer demand for natural health solutions. In Singapore, where an ageing population is driving increased interest in preventive health and targeted supplementation, the company sees a significant opportunity to better serve women navigating the menopause transition.
Holistic Way currently distributes a comprehensive range of nutraceuticals across key health categories, including:
- Musculoskeletal Health: Products categorised under joint supplements to address knee pain and mobility concerns in ageing demographics.
- Immunity & General Health: Daily essentials ranging from Vitamin C tablets and multivitamin supplements to vitamins for the immune system.
- Specialised Care: Targeted formulations including eye health supplements, probiotics supplements, and heart health supplements.
- Beauty & Wellness: Functional supplements such as collagen shots, hair growth supplements, and anti-ageing supplements.
As JR Life Sciences prepares for 2027, its focus remains on addressing unmet market needs and evolving consumer expectations. Guided by a commitment to science-backed innovation and quality, the company continues to invest in building a future-ready product pipeline that supports long-term well-being and reinforces trust among consumers in Singapore and beyond.

VinFast’s Expansion Mirrors the Global Shift in EV Growth
Emerging economies are becoming the EV industry’s fastest-growing markets, creating new opportunities for automakers with an international footprint. VinFast’s latest expansion reflects that shift.
DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 August 2026 – For much of the past decade, the global electric vehicle conversation has revolved around three markets: China, the United States, and Europe. But recent industry data suggests the next chapter may be written elsewhere.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global car sales fell about 5% in the first half of 2026 as economic pressures, fuel price volatility and policy changes weighed on demand in China and the US. Yet electric vehicle sales rebounded strongly in the second quarter, reaching record levels in 50 countries. Markets including Vietnam, India, Australia and South Korea roughly doubled EV sales compared with a year earlier, while more than 90 countries posted year-on-year growth during the first half of the year.
The shift reflects a broader change in where future industry growth is likely to come from. While China remains the world’s largest EV market, the IEA expects sales there to stagnate this year for the first time this decade, even as electric vehicles account for more than 60% of new car sales. Meanwhile, emerging markets are becoming increasingly important, supported by expanding policy incentives, growing charging infrastructure and rising consumer interest.
The agency also notes that China and other emerging economies are expected to account for around 60% of global car demand over the next decade, making success in these markets an increasingly important determinant of future automotive leadership.
VinFast’s latest performance reflects this changing landscape.
The Vietnamese automaker delivered 70,085 electric vehicles globally in the second quarter of 2026, up 96% year-on-year, bringing first-half deliveries to 128,662 vehicles, a 78% increase from the same period last year. The company’s two-wheel business also continued to expand rapidly, with 286,039 electric scooters and e-bikes delivered during the quarter, up 311% year-on-year.
The delivery mix also highlights the importance of products designed for diverse market needs. Models ranging from the compact VF 3 and VF 5 to the Limo Green MPV and the newly introduced VF MPV 7 all contributed meaningfully to second-quarter volumes, suggesting demand is spread across both personal mobility and commercial transportation segments.
Just as significant is where those vehicles are going.
In July, VinFast exported more than 5,000 electric vehicles aboard two dedicated vessels. One shipment, consisting of approximately 1,500 VF 6 SUVs, was designated for partner Green SM’s planned expansion in Europe, while another transported more than 3,500 vehicles to the Philippines and Indonesia. The voyages marked VinFast’s 37th and 38th international export shipments in fewer than four years, underscoring the increasing operational scale behind its global expansion.
VinFast’s effort in international market, including in the Middle East, shows that as growth becomes more geographically diversified, automakers can no longer rely on a handful of mature markets to drive expansion. Instead, success will increasingly depend on building products, distribution networks and operations that can compete across a wide range of emerging economies.
For the global EV industry, the center of gravity is not disappearing from established markets. It is becoming far more distributed. VinFast’s recent momentum suggests that companies positioned across multiple high-growth regions may be among the best placed to benefit from that shift.
