Why this project is worth a look
A visible resale market
There is enough live stock to compare actual apartments rather than rely on a single marketing price. Studios, one-bedroom units and two-bedroom homes appear regularly, and listings expose the effect of floor, outlook, furnishing and ownership quota on the asking price. That transparency is useful, but it also means the cheapest number should never be taken at face value. A lower price may reflect Thai quota, a weaker view, dated interiors or a seller who is prioritising speed.
Resort grounds matter
The central pool and landscaped courtyard are a genuine part of the project's identity rather than a minor amenity on a roof deck. For residents, that can make day-to-day living feel more like a self-contained resort. For landlords, it gives prospective tenants something tangible to compare with simpler low-rise buildings. The practical due-diligence point is maintenance: large shared facilities only remain an advantage if the juristic person has the budget and operating discipline to keep them in good condition.
Simple unit choices
The core layouts fall into a small number of recognisable sizes, which makes the project easier to shop than developments with many irregular plans. A studio is the compact entry point, a roughly 35 sqm one-bedroom separates sleeping and living space, and the 69–70 sqm two-bedroom format offers a materially different use case. The catch is that years of individual ownership create variation inside those shells. Renovation quality, storage, appliances and furniture can make two nominally identical units very different purchases.
Inland Jomtien trade-off
The Orient is in Jomtien, but it is not on the beachfront. Sources place the beach roughly 1.4–1.5 km away, so the project works best for buyers who accept a short trip to the sea in exchange for an internal resort environment and often lower resale pricing than true beachfront stock. Anyone whose priority is immediate promenade access should treat the location as a limitation rather than explain it away after purchase.
Quota is part of pricing
Fresh listings show both Thai-quota and foreign-quota stock. For an international buyer, these are not interchangeable offers. A low headline price on a Thai-quota unit may not be an executable foreign-freehold purchase, while a unit already advertised in foreign name can carry a different price. The sensible comparison is therefore between units that can be transferred on the ownership basis the buyer actually requires, with quota re-confirmed before any non-refundable commitment.
About the project
The Orient Resort and Spa is a mature resale condominium in Jomtien rather than a project where the buyer is still underwriting construction risk. It was launched as a collaboration between Matrix Developments and Nova Group, and early launch coverage described three low-rise residential buildings, eight floors and 526 units. That distinction shapes the due-diligence process. A buyer can inspect the actual building, compare multiple completed units, check how the common areas have aged and review documents from an existing owner. The central questions are no longer whether the developer will deliver the promised product, but whether the particular resale unit is correctly priced, properly maintained and legally transferable on the ownership terms the buyer needs.
The project is built around a resort-style internal courtyard with a large pool and landscaped communal areas. Current project profiles consistently show a pool, fitness room, jacuzzi, sauna or steam facilities, gardens, controlled access, CCTV, security and parking. That package gives The Orient a clear identity in a market where many low-rise condominiums compete on broadly similar apartment sizes. For an owner-occupier, the appeal is the ability to spend time within the grounds rather than treating the building as simply a place to sleep. For a landlord, the communal environment can be part of the rental proposition. The trade-off is that this is an established development: the present condition of the pool, equipment, corridors and management matters more than photographs from the original sales campaign.

The address is on Soi Bun Kanchana 5 in Nong Prue, within the wider Jomtien area. Project databases place Jomtien Beach South roughly 1.4 to 1.5 kilometres away. In practical terms, this is not a beachfront scheme and should not be evaluated as one. Buyers who expect to step directly onto the promenade may prefer a different location, while buyers who are comfortable being inland can focus on the project environment and resale pricing instead. Within The Orient itself, outlook becomes an important part of value: active listings distinguish pool-facing, city-facing and other orientations, and two apartments with the same floor area can feel quite different depending on floor, view, noise exposure and renovation condition.
The resale stock is relatively easy to understand. Studios are commonly around 25 to 26 sqm, one-bedroom apartments around 34 to 35 sqm, and two-bedroom homes around 69 to 70 sqm, with some listings showing slightly larger variations. This limited set of recurring formats makes comparison easier, but it also exposes how much price can be driven by the individual unit rather than the nominal layout. Furnishing quality, appliance age, bathroom condition, balcony outlook and whether the apartment faces the central pool can matter more to a buyer than a small difference in size. A sensible inspection therefore compares the all-in condition and expected near-term refurbishment cost, not just the asking price per square metre.
As of mid-September 2026, the lowest active asking price found was THB 1.69M for a studio of about 25 sqm, but that listing was marked as Thai quota. One-bedroom asking prices were visible from around THB 1.79M, while a fresh 35 sqm listing explicitly advertised in foreign name was priced at THB 2.09M. A roughly 70 sqm two-bedroom unit advertised under foreign quota was available around THB 3.99M. These are resale asking prices, not a developer price list, and they should be read as market reference points only. Ownership status can materially change which units are actually available to a foreign purchaser, so the cheapest headline listing is not necessarily the cheapest executable purchase for that buyer.
For a foreign purchaser, the ownership structure needs to be checked at unit level. Thai condominium law permits foreign freehold ownership only while the building remains within the 49% foreign ownership ceiling measured by aggregate unit area. The condominium juristic person provides the quota confirmation used for transfer. Current listings at The Orient include units marketed specifically as foreign quota, which indicates that foreign freehold transactions do occur in the project, but that does not guarantee quota for every apartment or on every date. Before committing funds, the buyer should verify the title, seller identity, juristic-person clearance, current foreign quota, transfer-cost allocation and any existing encumbrances for the exact unit being purchased.
Ownership format
A foreign buyer may hold a condominium unit in freehold if foreign quota remains available in the registered condominium. Thai law caps foreign ownership at 49% of the aggregate unit area in the building. The selected unit's current quota status must be confirmed before transfer.
Unit types & sizes
The compact entry format. A current September 2026 listing showed about 25.1 sqm at THB 1.69M, but it was marked as Thai quota. That makes it useful as a market-floor reference rather than a guaranteed foreign-freehold entry price. A foreign buyer needs unit-specific confirmation of transferable ownership before treating a listing as directly comparable.
The most common resale format in the project, giving a separate bedroom without moving into a large apartment. Fresh asking prices appear from around THB 1.79M, while a 35 sqm unit explicitly advertised in foreign name was listed at THB 2.09M. The spread is a reminder that quota, floor, outlook and interior condition can matter as much as nominal size.
A materially larger option for long stays, couples needing a second room or families. Active listings show small size variations, so the 69–70 sqm range is a project guide rather than a substitute for the area on the selected unit's title. A roughly 70 sqm foreign-quota listing was offered around THB 3.99M in September 2026. Renovation condition carries more financial weight at this size.
Public project profiles consistently show studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. Small area differences appear across databases and live listings, so the ranges above are practical guides only; the selected unit's title documents control for a transaction. Prices are September 2026 resale market references, not a developer price list. Prices are the lowest the brokerage boards publish, not the developer’s price list — the price and availability of a specific unit are something we go through with you personally.

Price & purchase terms
- Current price: From THB 1.69M in active listings refreshed on 11–12 September 2026. The lowest unit found is a roughly 25 sqm studio advertised under Thai quota, so this is a market floor rather than an automatically available entry price for a foreign buyer. Availability, ownership status and transaction terms need to be checked for the specific unit.
- Completed: 2019
We show the lowest of the prices the brokerage boards publish: their figures for the same unit differ by a few per cent, and none of them is the developer’s price list. We ask the developer for the current price, availability and payment terms on the unit you are looking at, and go through them with you personally.

Best for: Owner-occupiers who like the Jomtien area but do not need literal beachfront frontage. The project's strongest physical feature is its internal resort environment rather than sea access from the lobby.; Foreign buyers prepared to filter the market by actual foreign-quota availability instead of treating every low-priced listing as equally purchasable.; Investors who prefer a completed resale asset with observable asking rents, sales listings and previous transactions over a construction-stage promise. Any return case should still be built from the chosen unit's purchase price, realistic rent, vacancy and running costs.; Buyers looking for a compact one-bedroom around 35 sqm, where there is enough resale stock to compare floor, view, furniture and ownership status rather than accept the first available unit.; People willing to inspect both the apartment and the management quality of an established condominium. Pool maintenance, lifts, common corridors, humidity, noise and building operations can only be judged properly on site.; may not suit: A poor fit for buyers whose non-negotiable requirement is true beachfront living with the promenade immediately outside the building.; Not the right product for someone seeking a new-build purchase with construction-period instalments and a fresh developer warranty package; this is an established resale condominium.; Not suitable for a buyer who wants a guaranteed return story. Public sources do not support a fixed net yield for a specific unit, and real performance depends on entry price, rent, vacancy, management costs, common fees and refurbishment.; Potentially frustrating for anyone unwilling to check ownership quota unit by unit. Some of the cheapest listings are Thai quota and should not be compared directly with apartments transferable to a foreign buyer in freehold..
What we confirm before booking
A short, specific to the project list. We request these from the developer and go through them with you before any payment.
- the legal entity in the SPA and the payee’s bank details
- the title format and what is registered against the unit
- the contractual handover date in the SPA — the page shows the date from the project’s materials
- the contractual area of the chosen unit, and which basis it is measured on
Disputed and unknown information
This keeps the open points in one place. A missing or disputed fact is not treated as a conclusion.
- Public sources conflict on completion timing, showing 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2019. Contemporary launch coverage is dated December 2014, making a 2014 completion date inconsistent with the launch chronology. The record uses 2019 because several current project profiles converge on that year; the condominium registration and handover documents should be checked for the exact official date.
- Sources disagree on the number of buildings. Early launch material and several established databases describe three residential buildings, while FazWaz and related databases show four buildings. The buyer-facing description therefore refers to three residential blocks, with the registered as-built plan left for document verification.
- Published common-area fees conflict: several sources show THB 45/sqm/month, while Hipflat shows THB 49/sqm/month. The current rate and any sinking-fund or special-assessment obligations should be confirmed directly with the condominium juristic person.
