Pattaya Beach Condo

Ownership needs a unit-specific check. DDproperty classifies the project as freehold, which is consistent with the way the building trades on the resale market, but foreign freehold is not automatically available for every apartment. Thailand's condominium rules continue to cap aggregate foreign ownership at 49% of the total unit area in a registered condominium. Several live Pattaya Beach Condo listings are explicitly marked as Thai quota. A foreign buyer should therefore obtain written confirmation of foreign-quota availability for the chosen unit from the condominium juristic person before committing significant funds. This is a practical distinction rather than a technical footnote: the apartment can be perfectly valid property, yet still not be transferable into a foreign buyer's name as freehold if the relevant quota position does not allow it.

The common facilities are modest by modern resort-condominium standards. The recurring features across project sources are a communal swimming pool, parking, 24-hour security and CCTV. Local Pattaya project pages also mention an on-site restaurant or cafe and a small shop. That is enough for day-to-day use, but the building should not be approached as an amenity-heavy new development. Its appeal comes from a functioning central address and existing resale stock. For a 1992 condominium, management quality can be more important than the original specification. A viewing should include the common areas, visible maintenance, lift condition, parking operations and the overall feel of the building, not only the apartment. The juristic person's records and current financial position are also more informative than a generic list of facilities copied across portals.

The identity and geography of the project are well supported. Current project databases place it on Soi Pattaya 13 in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung, Chon Buri, and Hipflat plus international listing mirrors use 109/20 Pattaya 13 as the street address. OpenStreetMap identifies a separate Pattaya Beach Condominium building at 12.93045, 100.87996. This is important because the words 'Pattaya Beach' appear in the names of several unrelated condominium projects. The location data separates this building from View Talay Pattaya Beach Condominium and other beach-named developments. An older city directory gives a different street number and a 'since 1988' note, but the modern property sources converge on 1992 completion. The dossier therefore uses the current Pattaya 13 address and the mapped building object rather than the older directory entry.

Two pieces of project history remain unresolved. The first is the developer. DDproperty and FazWaz explicitly show no developer information, while the local project profiles reviewed for this research do not supply a verifiable development company. The second is total unit count. FazWaz and several related market databases state 150 units; Cornerstone states 280; DDproperty leaves the field blank. Because the sources agree on the location, building identity and 14 floors, the discrepancy is more likely a data-quality problem than evidence of two separate projects, but there is no reliable basis for choosing one number. The unit count is therefore deliberately omitted from the registry record. For a resale buyer, this uncertainty does not prevent due diligence on a particular apartment, but it does mean the building's original development history should not be presented with false precision.

The project is best understood as a location-led resale option. It can suit someone who wants to be in central Pattaya, prefers to inspect a finished building and is willing to evaluate apartments one by one rather than buy into a standardized new-development package. It is less suitable for a buyer who wants new building systems, a current developer warranty, a clearly documented developer track record or a complete published schedule of unit types. The decisive work happens at unit level: inspect the property, establish what renovation is needed, verify title and quota, confirm common-fee liabilities and understand the condominium's current management. A strong individual apartment can be attractive even in an older building, but a fresh interior should never be allowed to substitute for checking the legal and physical condition of the condominium around it.
