Mr Puttipong, second from right, is congratulated by SET senior executive vice-president, Manpong Senanarong, second from left, during the first day of trading of BA real estate investment fund.

BA Airport Leasehold Real Estate Investment Trust (BAREIT) invests in Samui airport leasehold properties, making it the first trust in Thailand to invest in airport properties.
