Serenity Wongamat

Serenity Wongamat is a modern low-rise condominium in the north of Pattaya, a few minutes' walk from Wong Amat Beach. It was built by Nova Group, one of the city's best-known developers and the company behind The Palm Wongamat next door. Completed in 2015, it is a single eight-storey building with 153 apartments according to the developer (some portals give 152). Serenity Wongamat condominium in Wongamat, Pattaya was conceived as a more accessible alternative to the expensive beachfront towers nearby: compact apartments, clean contemporary architecture and a rooftop pool looking out over the bay.

Location

The building stands on Soi Baan Plai Haad, a side lane off Soi Naklua 16, in a calm part of Wongamat made up of residential complexes and hotels. It has no beach frontage of its own: Garden Cliff Resort & Spa and the Baan Plai Haad tower lie between it and the shore. The water's edge is 150–200 m away in a straight line, and the walk to the nearest sand, the northern end of Wong Amat Beach at the bottom of Soi 16 known locally as Bamboo Beach, is about 300 m. A Tops Daily mini-market is roughly 100 m from the door, with cafés, massage shops and restaurants close by. The park of the Sanctuary of Truth is about 700 m away on foot. Pattaya–Naklua Road, where the songthaews run, is around 1.6 km up Soi 16, and Terminal 21 shopping centre is 2.2 km away as the crow flies.

Facilities

• rooftop swimming pool with sea and bay views;
• fitness room;
• lobby with reception;
• garden and courtyard;
• car parking and lifts;
• key-card access, 24-hour security and CCTV.

Apartments

The building offers studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments. Sizes are compact: studios start at 21–23 sq m, one-bedroom apartments are around 30–32 sq m, and two-bedroom apartments run from 43 to 50 sq m. Neighbouring small units can be joined together, so combined apartments also come up on the resale market. Units were originally sold with a furniture package, so most are offered furnished. More Property currently lists apartments of 42–43 sq m. Upper floors have sea views, while lower floors look onto the garden and neighbouring buildings.

Who it suits

Serenity Wongamat suits buyers who want to be in Wongamat but are looking for a compact apartment in a small building rather than a unit in a beachfront tower. It works well for holidays and winter stays, for a single person or a couple, and the two-bedroom apartments are comfortable for a small family. Compact sizes, a beach within walking distance and a well-known developer also make it a practical choice for letting. As in any Thai condominium, up to 49% of the saleable floor area may be registered in foreign freehold ownership (the foreign quota), with the remainder held under the Thai quota or through a company.
