The Tales Story One – Bangjo Phuket

All three official layouts are single-storey. Chapter One is 329 sqm, Chapter Two 353 sqm and Chapter Three 401 sqm. Each has three bedrooms and four bathrooms, plus a living room, main kitchen, pantry/preparation area, pavilion and two parking spaces. The one-level format is not just an architectural talking point. It can make day-to-day living easier for families with children or older relatives, and it gives a pool villa a more direct relationship between the main rooms and the outdoor area. Sansiri also highlights rooms facing the pool; the useful way to assess that claim is to review the exact plan and orientation of the villa you are considering.

Sansiri credits the architectural concept to the Edward Tuttle team and describes the language as a modern Thai resort. For a buyer, the more tangible point is the horizontal layout built around private outdoor space and water. This is not a clubhouse-heavy community where owners are paying to maintain a large gym, restaurant and resort pool. The shared facilities are relatively restrained: a children’s play area, communal garden and layered security systems. Most of the lifestyle value sits inside the private home — its pool, garden, terrace and pavilion — which is consistent with the very small number of residences.

This is primarily a driving location, not a walk-to-the-beach address. Sansiri’s own distance table places Blue Tree at about 2.1 km, Porto de Phuket at 2.9 km and Boat Avenue at 3.3 km. HeadStart International School and Kajonkiet Cherngtalay School are each listed at 1.5 km. Bang Tao Beach is 5.5 km away and Surin Beach 6.7 km. In other words, the project is inland from the coast but inside the residential catchment that feeds into the Bang Tao–Cherng Talay schools, shopping and dining scene. Sansiri also gives an indicative 30-minute drive to Phuket International Airport; actual travel time should be treated as traffic-dependent.

The current entry price is THB 45 million. As of 19 August 2026, Sansiri still publishes that starting figure, and it matches the lower end of active 329 sqm villa offers. Current market references also show THB 47.9 million for a 353 sqm home and THB 54.9 million for a 401 sqm home. These numbers are useful anchors, not a universal price sheet. Land size, orientation, furnishing and seller status vary, and a project search can mix remaining developer inventory with owner resales. Before negotiating, the buyer should identify the exact villa number and obtain a current specification and seller status for that home.

Completion is the main factual conflict in the public record. FazWaz and related portals say the project was completed in January 2026; PropertyHub gives 2025; PropertyScout uses 2026 but also retains construction-in-progress language on parts of its project profile; DDproperty shows 2027 and under-construction status. Sansiri’s own current Phuket page still categorises The Tales as a New Project and does not publish a clear handover date. Rather than selecting the date that looks most plausible, we leave the project-wide completion field unset. For a real purchase, the useful question is whether the specific villa is physically complete and transferable now, what works remain, and which document establishes its current legal and construction status.

Foreign ownership requires the same discipline. Some listings label these villas freehold, and one current 401 sqm PropertyScout listing explicitly shows Chanote. Chanote is Thailand’s strongest standard land title, but that listing does not prove identical title details for every plot, and it does not override the restrictions on foreign individuals owning Thai land directly. A non-Thai buyer should establish the legal structure before paying a substantial deposit: who owns the land, who will own the building, whether a registered lease is offered, how long the registered term is, and which renewal language is actually contractual rather than promotional.

Taken as a whole, The Tales Story One – Bangjo is a specific family-oriented proposition rather than a generic investment product: three bedrooms, unusually large internal areas, very low density, a private pool and short drives to the Bang Tao–Cherng Talay ecosystem. Its basic physical proposition is well documented. The items that still need transaction-level proof are the completion status of the selected villa, the foreign buyer’s land-and-building structure, and whether the home being offered is developer stock or a resale. Once those points are documented, it becomes much easier to compare this project fairly with other large pool villas in Thalang.
