AD Hyatt Wongamat

AD Hyatt Wongamat is a high-rise residential tower set back from the sea in the Wong Amat area of north Pattaya. Portals also list it as AD Hyatt Condominium or A.D. Condominium Hyatt Wongamat; the developer is A.D. House. AD Hyatt Wongamat condominium in Wong Amat, Pattaya is a single tower of more than 30 storeys with 521 units, finished around 2011–2012. It sits in the more affordable bracket of the district: compact studios and apartments with open views from the upper floors, within walking distance of the sea.

Location

The building is on Soi Naklua 16, the street that runs from Naklua Road down to Wong Amat Beach. It is not a beachfront address: the beach is about 800 m away, roughly a ten-minute walk along the soi past hotels and restaurants. In the other direction, Naklua Road and its songthaew route are a few minutes on foot, so the city centre is easy to reach without a car. Terminal 21 shopping mall on North Pattaya Road is about 1.5 km away in a straight line. The soi and the streets around it have convenience stores, cafés, restaurants and massage shops. The Sanctuary of Truth and the seafood restaurants of Naklua lie to the north, a short songthaew or taxi ride away.

Facilities

The shared amenities are standard for a high-rise: nothing extravagant, but everything needed for day-to-day living.

• a large free-form swimming pool and a separate children's pool;
• a gym;
• a garden and barbecue area;
• a lobby with reception and an on-site restaurant;
• car parking;
• 24-hour security, CCTV and key-card access.

Apartments

Most of the building consists of compact studios of 25–28 sq m. There are also one-bedroom apartments of around 55–58 sq m and larger layouts of 71–75 sq m, some of them with two bedrooms. More Property's catalogue lists units from 25 to 75 sq m. Apartments have balconies, and the upper floors look out over the sea and the bay or over the city, depending on the side of the tower. The building is more than ten years old and everything on offer is resale, so condition varies noticeably from unit to unit: some keep their original finish and furniture, others have been fully renovated by their owners. When comparing options, look not only at the floor and the view but also at when the apartment was last refurbished.

Who it suits

AD Hyatt Wongamat appeals to buyers who want to live in Wong Amat without paying a beachfront premium: winter residents, couples and single buyers. The studios are in demand with long-term tenants, as the area is quiet, has a good beach and all everyday services close at hand. A family with a child will be more comfortable in a unit with a separate bedroom. As in other Thai condominiums, up to 49% of the floor area can be owned by foreigners (the foreign quota), with the rest held under the Thai quota or through a company.
