Siam Oriental Plaza

Siam Oriental Plaza is a low-rise residential complex on Pratumnak Hill in Pattaya and the ninth project of the Finnish developer Siam Oriental (The Siam Oriental Trading Co., Ltd.). Its single 8-storey building holds 190 apartments, noticeably more than the company's earlier buildings. According to the developer, construction was completed in April 2017. Siam Oriental Plaza condominium in Pratamnak, Pattaya is notable for placing its shared facilities on the roof, with views of the sea and the hill, and for the commercial premises on its lower level.

Location

The address is Pratamnak Soi 3 (Soi Phra Tamnak 3), a residential street off Pratamnak Road. This is not a beachfront building: the sea is about 700 m away in a straight line, the nearest public beach is Cosy Beach, and the walk through the streets of the hill is longer. A free shuttle takes residents to the beach and to the songthaew stop. The surroundings are made up of residential complexes, restaurants and small shops. The Big Buddha hill and the Pratumnak viewpoint, Bali Hai pier and Walking Street are close by; the Central Festival mall, markets and supermarkets are a few minutes' drive away, with Dongtan Beach and Jomtien in the opposite direction.

Facilities

• rooftop swimming pool with views of the sea and Pratumnak Hill;
• fitness centre and Finnish sauna;
• roof garden and seating area;
• underground parking;
• 2 lifts and a lobby;
• 24-hour security, CCTV and key-card access;
• Wi-Fi in every apartment;
• shuttle to the beach.

Apartments

Siam Oriental Plaza offers studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments, and portals also mention a few large three-bedroom layouts. Units in the More Property catalogue measure from 35 to 55 sq m, which corresponds to one- and two-bedroom homes. Apartments have large sliding glass doors and a private balcony and are usually sold with furniture and appliances. Some face the garden and the inner grounds, while upper floors look towards the city or the sea. Floor level, view and furnishing should be confirmed for each unit.

Who it suits

Condos for sale in Siam Oriental Plaza suit buyers who want to live in a quiet part of Pratamnak while staying within quick reach of the city centre and Jomtien. Compact floor areas and a full set of shared facilities work well for winter stays, holidays and year-round living for one person or a couple, while two-bedroom units can accommodate a family. Those who want the sea within a couple of minutes on foot should take the distance to the beach into account and rely on the shuttle. A building with a rooftop pool and security is also practical to let. As a general rule in Thailand, up to 49% of the floor area in a condominium may be registered in foreign ownership (the foreign quota), with the rest held under the Thai quota or through a company, so the status of each unit should be checked.
