Gavin Perfect Talks Growth, Design, and Destination Living from Pattaya to Koh Chang
In the ever-evolving landscape of Thai real estate, few names have become as synonymous with modern tropical living as Gavin Perfect, founder of ESS Developments. With a steady eye on design, lifestyle, and investment value, Perfect has successfully grown the Zensiri brand from a boutique concept into a thriving portfolio that now spans both Pattaya and Koh Chang.
Following the resounding success of Zensiri Midtown — a luxury villa enclave in the heart of Pattaya that sold out at record pace — ESS Developments is showing no signs of slowing down. In a recent interview with REM Thailand, Gavin opened up about his vision, what sets Zensiri apart, and why now is the right time to invest in lifestyle-driven properties.
Redefining Urban Living in Jomtien

One of the company’s flagship developments currently underway is Zensiri Residence Jomtien — a thoughtfully planned, low-rise condominium project just 900 meters from Jomtien Second Road. Comprising two 7-storey buildings and a total of 126 units, the development is already seeing strong early momentum, with over 25% of units sold.


“People are looking for more than just square footage,” Gavin says. “They want lifestyle, comfort, and connection to their surroundings. That’s exactly what we’re delivering here.”
Zensiri Residence Jomtien boasts an impressive suite of resort-style amenities that rival five-star hotels, including:
- Three large saltwater swimming pools
- Children’s pool with water slide
- Clubhouse, modern gym, meeting space, co-working zone
- Sauna, steam room, and over 35% green landscaping
- Underground parking for 72 cars and EV charging stations
Private Estates with a Personal Touch


For those seeking a more exclusive living experience, Zensiri Estate Jomtien brings resort-style living into private homes. This gated community of 26 modern pool villas offers 3 to 6-bedroom homes, each featuring a saltwater pool and internal space ranging from 339 to 417 sqm.
“We wanted to create homes that feel personal, functional, and indulgent all at once,” Gavin explains. “The interiors are finished with premium materials and come with full appliance packages — everything from high-end kitchens to en-suite bathrooms in every bedroom.”

Buyers can opt for fully furnished packages, allowing them to move in seamlessly. Add to that:
- Wide internal roads, lush landscaping, and 24-hour security
- Solar-powered common areas and underground electrical systems
- High-speed fiber-optic internet and a stylish clubhouse
To date, 10 villas have been sold, with the show home slated for completion this November and full development wrap-up projected by Q3 2027. Notably, the project also offers a 6% guaranteed rental return for 5 years, making it a compelling option for investors.
Lakeside Living Reimagined

ESS Developments is also introducing its sixth Pattaya project, Zensiri Lakeside, nestled in the tranquil Mabprachan Lake area — a neighborhood increasingly known for its relaxed pace and leafy surroundings.
Comprising 21 detached homes starting from THB 12.79 million, the development focuses on large-format pool villas ranging from 3 to 6 bedrooms. Every home is a private oasis, complete with:
- Spacious open-plan interiors and private pools
- Floor-to-ceiling glass doors for seamless indoor-outdoor flow
- Designer kitchens and elegant master suites


“The area around Mabprachan Lake is special. It’s close to everything yet removed enough to feel like a retreat,” Gavin notes.
Proximity to top-tier amenities further enhances its appeal, including:
- Public parks and local cafes
- Leading international schools (Rugby, Regent, MIS, Tara Pattana)
- Siam Country Club golf course
- Pattaya motorway and Bypass Road 36
Island Expansion: Koh Chang Beckons

Extending beyond the mainland, ESS Developments is now making waves on Koh Chang with Zensiri Condominium Koh Chang — a boutique, low-rise development in the serene Klong Prao Beach area. Designed to evoke the feel of a holiday home, this project balances island charm with modern comfort.
Set on 1,519 sqm, the L-shaped 4-storey building contains 35 fully furnished units, designed for both full-time living and rental income. Features include:


- Open-plan layouts with private balconies
- Modern bathrooms, built-in storage, and well-appointed kitchens
- Smart space planning that emphasizes airiness and light
Perhaps the most coveted feature, however, is the location itself: Klong Prao Beach is the longest and arguably most beautiful stretch of sand on Koh Chang, spanning over 3.3 kilometers of west-facing coastline.
Amenities within the development include:
- Over 50% green landscaped space
- Swimming pool, lobby, and dedicated reception area
- Parking for both cars and motorbikes
- Lift access to all floors

Reading the Market: Why Pattaya Still Shines
While low season brings a natural dip in short-term activity, Gavin remains optimistic. “The Pattaya market is stabilizing and showing clear signs of recovery. We’re seeing strong interest, particularly from overseas buyers and long-term investors,” he says.
Despite broader economic headwinds, the fundamentals remain strong. With infrastructure continuing to improve and a steady demand for lifestyle-oriented properties, Pattaya remains one of Thailand’s most promising real estate destinations — and ESS Developments is well-positioned to lead the way.
