The brainchild of Ukrainian entrepreneur Vadym Bukhkalov and his Australian partner, Dr Paul Crosio, Layan Green Park emerged with a bold mission: to create a space where nature, comfort and innovation thrive together. The project is the first in Phuket to achieve EDGE Advanced certification, an internationally recognised energy efficiency and sustainability standard. This milestone underscores its commitment to reducing environmental impact while providing modern, luxurious living spaces.
A Visionary Entrepreneur’s Commitment
“Phuket has become my home, and I feel deeply responsible for contributing to its growth,” says Vadym Bukhkalov. “Layan Green Park is not just a project ‒ it’s my life’s work, a goal that represents my dedication to this beautiful island and its people.”
With a total investment exceeding 5 billion baht, Vadym’s contributions to Phuket’s economy are profound. Beyond the financial injection, his vision emphasises environmental stewardship and community engagement, earning him recognition as a leader in sustainable development.
Vadym’s leadership goes beyond business acumen. His unwavering commitment to Phuket’s well-being has made him a respected figure on the island. From championing green initiatives to fostering community relationships, Vadym embodies the spirit of innovation and compassion.
A recent initiative saw him and his team supporting elderly residents at the Phuket Social Welfare Development Centre, exemplifying his belief in giving back to the community. His family-centric values and deep respect for Thai culture further solidify his connection to the island.
“Although I have had to defend my project and my business against people who want grab a part of this success, our high standards of governance, led by Paul Crosio, a well-known Australian lawyer, banker and veteran company Director, has meant we can straightforwardly show investors how we are managing their money and how we provide a fantastic vehicle for those wanting to invest in Phuket.”
“As part of our program of continuous improvement, we recently commissioned BDO Thailand to audit our investor’s funds to ensure even higher standards of transparency.”
