Manthana Rama 2-Puttabucha

This is a relatively contained gated housing estate rather than a very large suburban master plan. The consumer disclosure gives the site area as 33 rai, 1 ngan and 84.1 sq wah, while BaanFinder, CheckRaka and several other project directories round it to 34 rai. The practical picture is clearer than the rounding issue: 116 detached houses, two storeys, original plots broadly in the 61–75 sq wah range and standard usable areas of 186–200 sqm. The estate therefore sits in the family-house segment—meaning private land, multiple full-size rooms and common facilities—without the density or scale of newer developments containing several hundred homes.

Land and Houses launched two principal house designs. The smaller model is written as Onxy in the developer's press release: 186 sqm, including a separate work room facing the garden, with a launch price from THB 7.99M. Citrine was the larger 200 sqm design, with four bedrooms, an upstairs family area and a maid's room, launched from THB 9.09M. Broader project profiles describe three to four bedrooms, three to four bathrooms and parking for two cars across the range. Those figures are most useful as an original design baseline. Resale houses have had years in which owners could extend kitchens, enclose terraces, combine rooms or add floor area, so the live house should not be assumed to match the 2012 brochure exactly.

The communal amenities were designed around long-term family use rather than resort positioning. Land and Houses' launch material confirms a clubhouse, swimming pool and fitness room. The project disclosure goes further, recording a 400 sq wah clubhouse-and-pool area and a 450 sq wah public garden. Later project profiles also describe controlled access, CCTV and 24-hour security. For a mature resale estate, the key question is how well these facilities are operating now. A buyer can inspect the pool, landscaping, access control and common roads directly, and should treat the current maintenance structure and fees as part of the property's condition rather than relying on a decade-old amenity list.

Phutthabucha Road places the estate within the road network of southern Bangkok. Project material points to connections via Suksawat, Rama 2, the Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway and the Bhumibol Bridge towards Rama 3. King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi, Thonburirom Park and Central Rama 2 are recurring area references in project directories. This is not a rail-oriented address where the proposition depends on walking to a station. It makes more sense for households already comfortable with driving and looking for a detached home while remaining within Bangkok rather than moving farther into the metropolitan fringe.

Developer inventory is no longer the relevant market. Home.co.th marks the project as sold out, so current availability comes from individual owners and agents. On 9 September 2026, the lowest active asking price we could confirm on DDproperty was THB 8.9M, with other current asks around THB 9.4M–9.9M. Those figures should not be compared mechanically with the 2012 launch prices to claim a return. A fourteen-year-old resale house can differ materially in renovation quality, extensions, plot position, land area, orientation, furniture and seller motivation. The price needs to be read house by house, not as a uniform project rate.

The historical legal documentation is unusually useful for an older resale project. The consumer disclosure lists Chanote title deeds 13509, 13540 and 37687, subdivision permit 26/2554 dated March 2011, and Land and Houses as the landowner and project operator at that time. That establishes a strong project-level paper trail, but it does not replace a current title search for the selected house. The buyer still needs to establish which title now covers the plot, whether boundaries match the site, whether extensions were properly documented and whether any encumbrances remain. For a foreign buyer, there is an additional structural issue: Thai land is not normally available for direct personal foreign ownership, so the house and land arrangement needs its own legal review rather than being treated like a condominium freehold purchase.

Because the estate is mature, due diligence shifts from promises to physical and documentary history. Current listings still show houses around the original 186 and 200 sqm benchmarks, but some resale homes advertise larger usable areas or altered room counts, which is consistent with owner modifications over time. A sensible inspection therefore joins three things together: the house as built today, the approved plans and title documents, and the financial position with the estate management. Land and Houses remains relevant to the project's origin and identity, but after more than a decade the condition, alterations, title and maintenance history of the specific home carry more weight than the developer's brand alone.
