Coastal Real Estate April Newsletter

Coastal Real Estate  April Newsletter

 

Hello, and welcome to the April issue of the Coastal Real Estate newsletter. We hope you had an awesome March and that April is even better!

 

It is that time of year again when Pattaya is invaded by the squirt gun armies celebrating Songkran. Our office will be closed from the 11th through the 19th so our staff can enjoy the festivities. We will reopen on the 20th.

 

We hope you enjoy the holiday and have a lot of fun. For those of you who prefer someplace quieter and leave town we hope you have a safe trip.

 

While we are on the subject of water, this month we are going to introduce you to a project in Na Jomtien that has a water theme. It is the Whale Marina Condominium and it’s really going to be something special.

 

 

Whale Marina Condominium

 

 

Whale Marina is a new condo project in Na Jomtien. The project was launched in 2015 amid much fanfare and progress has continued at a steady pace. Whale Marina has already garnered EIA approval and the project has been authorised by the Thai Marina Department.

 

Whale Marina will be a resort style condo development consisting of 3, 8-storey buildings with a total of 364 units. There are 27 unit styles to choose from. The vast majority of the units will have sea views.

 

The first floor of the buildings will offer parking and the many Whale Marina facilities including the private boat marina. Facilities at Whale Marina will include a water sport club, fitness center, 3 communal pools, a restaurant and coffee shop, security a rooftop garden and more.

 

The Water Sports Club at Whale Marina is designed to offer a choice of water sport activities to its residents by trained and certified professionals. Residents who enjoy water sports, will be able to go deep-sea fishing, diving, jet skiing, water skiing and a myriad of other activities. Trips to nearby islands will also be offered from the private marina.

 

Whale Marina will share the canal in the Tonhaad Lagoon with other marine themed residences such as View Talay Marina and the Jomtien Yacht Club.

 

Unit sizes will start at 29.13 square meters (Building B) and continue up with the largest units being offered in Building A. For a complete list of the available units, pricing and floor plans please contact one of the Coastal Real Estate sales staff.

 

All of the units in Whale Marina come fully furnished including electronics, wallpaper & curtains.

Contact our sales staff for pricing and availability of units.

 

 

Cetus Beachfront

 

Only 15 Units Left!

 

 

You may have seen our Facebook post about this project on Jomtien Beach Road. It has done so well that there are only 15 units left in the main building and only 2 villas. Foreign quota is still available, so now is the time to snap one of the last few units from the developer.

 

Cetus Beachfront was completed last year and offers many amenities to its residents including two pools, a fitness center that is probably one of the nicest in town, a steam room and a game room. Laundry service is available as well.

 

The available units range in size from 39 to 89 square meters and the 3 bedroom villas are 95 and 130 square meters. All have been completely finished and are ready for occupancy.

How the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) is Shaping Pattaya’s Property Future

Sep 04, 2025

Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) is transforming the eastern seaboard into one of the country’s most dynamic economic hubs, and Pattaya stands to benefit significantly. The EEC, a flagship government initiative, aims to boost infrastructure, industry, and investment in the provinces of Chonburi, Rayong, and Chachoengsao, creating new opportunities for businesses and property investors alike.Infrastructure Development Driving GrowthOne of the biggest factors shaping Pattaya’s property future is infrastructure. The EEC project includes major improvements in transportation, such as the high-speed rail connecting Bangkok to U-Tapao Airport, upgraded expressways, and enhanced ports and logistics facilities. These developments are making Pattaya more accessible for both domestic and international investors, increasing the attractiveness of the city for long-term property investment.Rising Demand for Residential and Commercial PropertiesAs the EEC attracts businesses and skilled professionals to the region, demand for quality housing is increasing. Luxury condos, modern villas, and gated communities in Pattaya are seeing rising interest from both Thai and foreign buyers who want convenient access to the city’s new economic opportunities. At the same time, commercial properties, from offices to retail spaces, are gaining value as companies expand their presence in the area.Boosting Pattaya’s Investment AppealThe EEC is creating a strong environment for property investment. With a growing population of expatriates, professionals, and business travelers, rental yields in Pattaya are expected to rise, especially for properties close to transportation hubs, business districts, and international schools. Long-term capital appreciation is also projected, as limited land availability in prime areas continues to drive demand.Lifestyle and Urban DevelopmentBeyond business, the EEC is contributing to Pattaya’s overall urban development. New leisure, shopping, and cultural facilities are emerging to cater to a growing population. Improved infrastructure not only supports commercial growth but also enhances the lifestyle and convenience for residents, making Pattaya an increasingly desirable location for families, retirees, and luxury property buyers.Strategic Location for the FutureInvestors looking for long-term growth are taking note of Pattaya’s strategic position within the EEC. Situated along the Gulf of Thailand and with easy access to Bangkok, Laem Chabang Port, and U-Tapao Airport, Pattaya offers both lifestyle and investment potential. As the EEC progresses, properties in well-connected neighborhoods and near key infrastructure are expected to see higher demand and better returns.ConclusionThe Eastern Economic Corridor is more than just a government project—it’s reshaping Pattaya’s real estate landscape. With improved infrastructure, increased business activity, and rising demand for quality housing, Pattaya is poised for sustained growth in both property values and rental opportunities. For investors and buyers seeking both lifestyle and financial returns, understanding the impact of the EEC is key to making smart decisions in Pattaya’s evolving property market.

Why Pratumnak Hill Remains a Top Choice for Luxury Buyers

Aug 14, 2025

When it comes to luxury living in Pattaya, few neighborhoods match the prestige, beauty, and exclusivity of Pratumnak Hill. This elevated enclave offers the perfect balance between city convenience and tranquil coastal living — a combination that continues to attract high-end buyers from around the world. Prime Location with Breathtaking ViewsPerched between Pattaya and Jomtien, Pratumnak Hill enjoys one of the most enviable positions on the Eastern Seaboard. Many condos in Pratumnak boast panoramic views of the Gulf of Thailand, stunning sunsets, and the sparkling city skyline. The hill’s elevation not only provides a cooler breeze but also creates a sense of privacy and separation from the busier districts below.Exclusive Property OptionsPratumnak is home to some of the city’s most sought-after residences — from ultra-modern villas with infinity pools to high-rise condominiums with 5-star facilities. Land plots are rare and highly valued, making existing luxury homes especially desirable. Whether buyers are looking for a lavish holiday retreat or a permanent residence, Pratumnak offers properties that meet the highest standards of design and comfort.A Peaceful Yet Connected LifestyleOne of Pratumnak Hill’s greatest strengths is its balance of tranquility and accessibility. Residents can enjoy peaceful, low-traffic streets and lush greenery, yet still be just minutes away from Pattaya’s vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment options. The beaches here are quieter than those in central Pattaya, offering a more relaxed seaside experience.Proximity to Top AmenitiesLuxury buyers appreciate convenience, and Pratumnak delivers. The area is close to international restaurants, boutique cafes, golf courses, marinas, and high-end shopping malls. Quality healthcare is also nearby, with leading hospitals just a short drive away. For families, international schools in Pattaya and surrounding areas are within easy reach.Strong Investment PotentialWhile lifestyle is a major draw, Pratumnak Hill also offers compelling investment opportunities. Limited land availability and high demand from both Thai and foreign buyers help support long-term value appreciation. Rental demand, particularly for short-term stays in high-end villas and condos, remains strong due to the area’s reputation and prime location.The Allure ContinuesIn a market that is always evolving, Pratumnak Hill continues to hold its place as Pattaya’s most prestigious address. Its combination of scenic beauty, exclusive properties, convenient location, and investment stability ensures it remains a top choice for discerning buyers who want the very best the city has to offer.
