Why this project is worth a look
City-side living
The Royal Place makes most sense for someone who wants the practical side of central Phuket rather than a resort address. Its value proposition is access to the Samkong/Kathu urban catchment—retail, hospitals, education and the island’s main road network—not a beach at the end of the street. That can suit an owner-occupier or a long-term tenant whose daily routine is tied to Phuket Town and the central island. If the purchase thesis depends on a walkable beach lifestyle, the location itself is the limiting factor and a lower asking price does not change it.
Observable resale market
There is active resale inventory and a visible history of completed transactions, so buyers are not limited to an old launch price or a developer sales narrative. The challenge is comparability. Renovation quality, furniture, tenancy, floor, view, ownership quota and the exact layout can move asking prices materially. The most useful way to assess value here is to inspect several units against the same checklist and documentation standard rather than assume that every one-bedroom or every 40-something-square-metre apartment is interchangeable.
Building choice matters
Three buildings and hundreds of units create depth of supply, but they also reduce uniformity. Entrance condition, corridor upkeep, orientation, noise, outlook and access to parking or the pool can vary even inside one condominium project. The inconsistent room-size information across portals reinforces the point: the building number, registered area and actual internal configuration should be captured before comparing one listing with another. A cheaper apartment may simply be a different product inside the same project.
Amenities can be inspected
The pool, fitness facilities, clubhouse, parking, lifts and security are existing parts of a completed project rather than promised future amenities. That is useful because a buyer can judge what is actually there. It also means the important question shifts from existence to maintenance. Equipment condition, common-area finishes, lift performance, parking practice and general upkeep can affect both living quality and future resale appeal, and those points are better assessed during a physical inspection than from a portal’s amenity icons.
Quota before commitment
For a foreign buyer, the decisive legal detail sits with the chosen unit. The project has recorded transactions in both Thai and foreign quota, while generic listings often use the word freehold without stating whether foreign quota is currently available. The condominium juristic person’s confirmation of the foreign proportion, together with the unit title and debt-clearance documents, should be checked before a reservation becomes economically meaningful. This is a unit-level verification step, not something the project name can answer on its own.
About the project
The Royal Place Phuket is an established resale condominium on the city-facing side of Phuket rather than a beach-resort development. The project profile repeated across the stronger property databases is a three-building, eight-storey complex with 478 units, completed in June 2012. That changes the buyer’s job. There is no need to judge an unfinished promise from renders: the buildings, pool, fitness facilities, parking and common areas can be inspected as they are. The trade-off is that a mature resale project has accumulated years of individual ownership, renovations and wear, so the condition of a particular unit and building matters much more than the headline specifications alone.
The most consistent street address is 96/60 Moo 1, Phra Phuket Kaew Road, Kathu, Phuket 83120. Archived advertising for The Royal Place Condominium used 96/60, Kathu, Kathu in 2010–2011 and advertised the Phase 3 showroom there. Current mapping services and some property databases sometimes label the same site as Ratsada or Mueang Phuket. That appears to be an administrative-boundary and mapping issue around the Samkong/Kathu edge, not evidence of a second condominium with the same name. For navigation and due diligence, the project name, 96/60 street address and the mapped complex should be matched together instead of relying on the district label in a single portal.

This is primarily an urban Phuket location. Project profiles consistently place it within the everyday catchment of major retail, hospitals and education around the central part of the island, including Lotus, Big C, Central Phuket, Bangkok Hospital Phuket, Bangkok Hospital Siriroj and Prince of Songkla University’s Phuket campus. Those names should not be read as a promise that every destination is walkable or reachable in a fixed number of minutes; traffic conditions matter and the dossier does not manufacture travel times. The practical point is that The Royal Place serves a city-oriented routine around Samkong and Kathu. Buyers looking for a walk-to-the-sand lifestyle should treat that as a mismatch, not something marketing language can solve.
The 478 units should not be treated as a standardized inventory. Sources agree on three buildings but disagree on the size matrix. DDproperty’s project description lists 30 sqm studios, 39–43 sqm one-bedroom units and two-bedroom layouts of 73, 81 and 84 sqm. Yet 2026 resale stock includes a 29 sqm studio, one-bedroom apartments at 41 sqm and 48.92 sqm, and units marketed as two-bedroom apartments around 44–45 sqm. The gap may reflect different buildings, later interior reconfiguration, inconsistent bedroom labeling or simple listing errors. For a buyer, the title-deed area and the physical plan of the exact unit carry more weight than the generic room-type table on a portal.
The common facilities are reasonably well corroborated: swimming pool, fitness area, clubhouse, landscaped or garden space, parking, lifts, CCTV and 24-hour security are repeated across several project profiles, with on-site dining also listed by multiple portals. Because this is a completed resale property, facility quality is something to verify in person rather than infer from an amenity checklist. Pool maintenance, lift condition, corridor finishes, parking organization and the difference between buildings can affect daily use and resale perception. The dossier therefore treats the amenities as existing features, not as a statement that every common area is currently in first-class condition.
The entry price is attractive enough to keep the project visible in Phuket’s resale market, but the live inventory is fragmented. A 29 sqm studio was still offered at THB 1.89M when checked on 7 September 2026, while DDproperty’s visible active stock started around THB 2.25M over the same period. That spread is normal for an older condominium where units differ in renovation, furniture, floor, view, tenancy and ownership quota. THB 1.89M is therefore useful as a lower market anchor, not as a promise that a comparable foreign-quota unit will be available at that figure. A sensible comparison needs like-for-like information on condition, title, quota and occupancy.
Foreign ownership has to be checked at unit level. Thai condominium law allows foreigners to own condominium units in freehold only within the statutory 49% foreign-ownership limit by total unit area in a registered condominium. The condominium juristic person provides the foreign-quota confirmation used for a transfer. Hipflat’s recorded transactions for The Royal Place include both Thai-quota and foreign-quota sales, which is exactly why a generic “freehold” tag on a listing is insufficient. Before committing funds, the buyer should see the title documents, the juristic person’s quota confirmation and the required debt-clearance documentation for the selected apartment.
Developer naming is the main historical point that remains messy. A 2007 advertisement for the project itself presented The Royal Place Condominium under V.S. Property Development; DDproperty uses the same developer name, and a Thai business directory places V.S. Property Development at 96/60 with matching contact details. PropertyHub and several portals instead use V.S. Group (Phuket), while Home.co.th and Condothai attribute the project to Ying Ruay Thani. We did not find a primary corporate document explaining the relationship among those names. For this dossier, V.S. Property Development is used as the best-supported project brand, while the legal-entity discrepancy is kept visible rather than forced into a false certainty.

Ownership format
A foreign buyer can hold registered condominium freehold only while the relevant building has capacity within Thailand’s 49% foreign-ownership quota by unit area. Recorded sales at the project include both Thai-quota and foreign-quota units, so a generic “freehold” label in a listing is not enough to establish what a foreign buyer can acquire. Before transfer, the condominium juristic person should confirm the foreign proportion for the selected unit. If direct foreign freehold is unavailable, any alternative structure, including leasehold, needs to be assessed against the actual transaction documents rather than assumed from the project name.
Unit types & sizes
DDproperty’s project matrix lists a 30 sqm studio. A 29 sqm studio in Building 3 was also on the 2026 resale market, so the registered area for the selected unit should come from its title documentation rather than the generic project table.
The generic project profile gives a 39–43 sqm range, but current resale stock also includes different sizes, including a 48.92 sqm one-bedroom unit. Bedroom count, building and registered area therefore need to be checked together.
The project profile lists larger two-bedroom layouts, while 2026 resale listings also label much smaller apartments around 44–45 sqm as two-bedroom units. The plan and registered area should be verified before treating that label as consistent across the complex.
The published size matrix is not fully consistent across sources. DDproperty shows the original 30 sqm / 39–43 sqm / 73, 81 and 84 sqm pattern, while current resale examples include a 29 sqm studio, one-bedroom units at 41 sqm and 48.92 sqm, and two-bedroom listings around 44–45 sqm. The dossier does not average those figures into a synthetic range. Building, registered area and physical layout need to be verified unit by unit. 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.

Location
- The project sits on Phra Phuket Kaew Road around the Samkong–Kathu urban edge; this is inland Phuket, not a beachfront address.
- Its everyday catchment is built around central-island retail, hospitals and education. Project profiles repeatedly reference Lotus, Big C, Central Phuket, Bangkok Hospital Phuket, Bangkok Hospital Siriroj and Prince of Songkla University.
- The road network connects Kathu with Phuket Town and the Patong direction, but actual drive times are traffic-dependent, so the dossier does not turn marketing travel-time claims into fixed facts.
- For navigation, use The Royal Place Condominium together with 96/60 Phra Phuket Kaew Road. Some current maps label the administrative area as Ratsada/Mueang Phuket, while archived project material uses Kathu/Kathu.

Price & purchase terms
- Current price: From THB 1.89M in resale stock checked on 7 September 2026. This is a lower market anchor rather than a guaranteed asking price: another major portal was showing its visible active stock from about THB 2.25M over the same period. Availability, unit condition, ownership quota and final deal terms need to be checked for the specific apartment.
- Completed: 2012-06
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: An owner-occupier who values central Phuket’s everyday infrastructure more than walkable beach access.; A budget-conscious resale buyer who is prepared to compare several units by renovation quality, building, floor, registered area and ownership quota rather than choosing from the headline asking price alone.; An owner considering a long-term city-oriented rental use case and willing to judge demand from the actual local tenant market rather than from a promised holiday-rental yield.; A buyer who prefers inspecting an existing pool, gym, parking and common areas to taking construction and delivery risk in a new launch.; may not suit: A buyer whose non-negotiable requirement is a walk-to-beach resort setting; The Royal Place is an inland urban Phuket project.; Someone specifically seeking a brand-new building, uniform contemporary finishes and the warranty profile of a new development.; A foreign buyer who needs foreign-quota availability guaranteed before checking a particular unit; the public project data cannot provide that assurance.; A buyer unwilling to examine building-by-building and unit-by-unit differences, because the resale stock here is visibly heterogeneous..
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.
- Developer naming is inconsistent. Archived 2007 project advertising, DDproperty and company-address records connect The Royal Place with V.S. Property Development; PropertyHub and several portals use V.S. Group (Phuket), while Home.co.th and Condothai name Ying Ruay Thani. No primary document explaining the corporate relationship among those entities was found.
- Some Thai databases maintain a separate The Royal Place Phuket – Phase 3 record of roughly 101 units, seven floors and a later completion date. Archived project advertising, however, already announced the Phase 3 showroom at 96/60 in 2010–2011. Those conflicting phase-specific figures have not been imported into the main three-building, 478-unit project record.
- Current foreign-quota availability for individual units is not published. Recorded sales include both Thai- and foreign-quota units, so a foreign buyer’s ability to register the selected apartment in freehold must be confirmed by the condominium juristic person before the transaction.
