As with any industry, supply in the property market is driven by demand. And in the Thai property market these days, it seems that there is an ever-increasing desire for luxury. With this in mind, we take a look at 5 of the hottest new property developments in Thailand.
Pattaya: Wong Amat Tower
A 38-storey luxury condo development in the highly-desirable Naklua district of North Pattaya, Wong Amat Tower stands just 50 metres from Wong Amat Beach and affords stunning ocean views through its wall-to-ceiling windows. The property’s ultra-modern design requires fewer structural columns, resulting in larger internal spaces, while its state-of-the-art facilities include infinity pools on both the ground floor and rooftop. Despite its serene location, Wong Amat Tower is only minutes from downtown Pattaya, making it one of our hot new properties. Prices range from 2.49 MB to 12 MB.
Koh Samui: AquaSamui
Designed by award-winning architect Gary Fell and launched in January 2013, AquaSamui is a boutique development of 44 private pool villas situated in the hills of Koh Samui overlooking the island’s popular Chaweng Beach. Combining a premium location with an optimum design and high-quality building materials, the development is one of the hottest new properties in Thailand with 10 out of the 11 units made available during phase 1 sold within 50 days. The project’s remaining 2, 3 and 4 bedroom villas range in price from 9 MB to 15.9 MB.
Bangkok: Wora Sukhumvit 49
Ideally located in the up-market Phrom Phong and Thong Lor districts of Bangkok’s ever-busy Sukhumvit Road, Wora Sukhumvit 49 is a premium low-rise development due for completion in December 2013. The property features two 7-storey buildings that house a total of 134 condos with prices starting from 5.99 MB. The designers have gone for a decidedly ‘green’ focus that begins with the property’s lush gardens and Bio swimming pool but extends even to solar cells and wind turbines that generate green and clean energy. The furniture is also described as environmentally-friendly, while each unit features innovative blinds that can be adjusted to control not only light, but also heat, dust and noise.
Koh Samui: The Ridge
An exclusive collection of 11 luxury villas, The Ridge is ideally situated in the prime location of Choeng Mon/Plai Laem in the north-east corner of Koh Samui. Just minutes away from some of Koh Samui’s world-famous beaches, each villa affords panoramic views of the neighbouring island of Koh Phangan from its private terrace. Each of the 2, 3 and 4 bedroom villas also boasts its own infinity pool and integrated Jacuzzi. Prices range from 17.4 MB to 25 MB.
Phuket: Andara Signature Resort Villas
When it comes to unadulterated luxury, it’s hard to beat the 5-star opulence and aesthetic magnificence of Andara Signature Resort Villas. Located in the hills overlooking Phuket’s west coast, each of the development’s 7 exclusive villas boasts inspiring architecture by an award-winning team, stylish interiors, state-of-the-art electronics, panoramic sea views and top-of-the-range facilities that include infinity pool, spa, fine-dining restaurants, exclusive beach clubs and private motor yachts. But be warned – such luxury doesn’t come cheap. A 4-bedroom villa at Andara Signature Resort will set you back 230 MB.
