AD Wongamat Condominium

AD Wongamat Condominium is a low-rise residential building in the Wongamat part of Naklua, in the north of Pattaya. Property portals usually list it as AD Condominium or A.D. Condominium: a single 8-storey block with 178 apartments, completed in 2008 by the Pattaya developer AD House (A.D. Houses Co., Ltd.). AD Wongamat Condominium in Naklua, Pattaya is a plain, well-settled building in a quiet lane, chosen mainly for its location and practical layouts rather than for elaborate common areas.

Location

The building stands on Soi Naklua 16/1, in the grid of small lanes between Naklua Road and the sea. Wong Amat Beach is about 500 m away in a straight line and roughly 900 m on foot through the lanes, so the sea is within walking distance, but this is not a beachfront address. The Sanctuary of Truth is about 1.2 km to the north and Terminal 21 Pattaya about 1.3 km to the south. Songthaews (shared pick-up taxis) run along Naklua Road towards central Pattaya, and the nearby lanes have convenience stores, cafés, seafood restaurants and massage shops. The neighbourhood is noticeably calmer than the city centre.

Facilities

• outdoor swimming pool with a sun terrace at ground level
• fitness room
• garden areas around the building
• parking for cars and motorbikes
• 24-hour security and CCTV

The set is basic compared with newer projects, which fits the quiet, residential character of the building.

Apartments

The mix is simple: studios of roughly 26 to 35 sq m and one-bedroom apartments of about 56 to 72 sq m. Layouts are uncomplicated and easy to furnish, with a balcony off the living area; in some apartments the balcony has been glazed in and serves as an extra sitting or utility space. With only 8 floors, windows look onto neighbouring gardens, rooftops and trees rather than the sea. Most apartments have been furnished and updated by their owners over the years, so the condition varies from unit to unit and is best judged at a viewing.

Who it suits

AD Wongamat Condominium works for long-stay residents, for people who spend the winter in Pattaya and for buyers who want a straightforward way into the Wongamat area with the beach within walking distance. The larger studios and one-bedroom units are also practical for long-term letting. Buyers who want sea views and a high floor usually look at the neighbouring AD Hyatt Condominium instead: it is a separate 33-storey tower on Soi Naklua 16, which some portals also list under the name AD Wongamat, so it is worth checking which building a listing refers to. As in any Thai condominium, up to 49% of the total unit area can be registered in foreign freehold ownership (the foreign quota); the rest is held under the Thai quota or through a company.
