Sombat Condoview

Sombat Condoview condominium in Pratamnak, Pattaya is an older residential building on Pratamnak Hill: a single ten-storey tower completed in 1990. Agency descriptions name Sombat Townhouse & Land Co., Ltd. as the developer. The same company later built Sombat Pattaya Condotel on Soi Pratamnak 4, a different and larger building that should not be confused with this one. Sombat Condoview is a plain city-style block without resort grounds, chosen mainly for its location.

Location

The building stands on Soi Pratamnak 5, in the residential part of the hill between central Pattaya and Jomtien. Yinyom Beach, often called Pratamnak Beach, is about 600 m away in a straight line, roughly a 12-minute walk. Dongtan Beach begins a little further on, about 800 m as the crow flies. The closest stretch of shore, below the Asia Pattaya hotel, is around 450 m away in a straight line. A 7-Eleven is about 6 minutes on foot, with cafes, restaurants, massage shops and Pratamnak Night Market nearby. Jomtien is about 8 minutes by car and the Royal Garden Plaza shopping centre in central Pattaya about 13 minutes. Songthaews between Pattaya and Jomtien run along Thappraya Road on the eastern side of the hill, so within Pratamnak itself a taxi, motorbike taxi or your own transport is more practical.

Facilities

The shared areas are functional rather than resort-like. At ground level there is a covered car park with automatic gates; one floor up are the lobby with a lounge and reception and the on-site juristic office. The building has a passenger lift, 24-hour security and CCTV. A swimming pool and gym are not mentioned in descriptions of the building, so if they matter to you, check before a viewing.

Apartments

Most of the building is made up of studios and one-bedroom apartments of roughly 31 to 70 sq m; the More Property catalogue includes a 70 sq m unit. Residential floors start on the second level, so even the lowest apartments are raised above the street. The top, tenth floor is occupied by a five-bedroom penthouse with a large terrace, advertised with sea views. Listings also feature corner apartments with city views. The building is more than thirty years old, so the condition of each apartment depends on its owner: at a viewing it is worth checking the renovation, plumbing and air conditioning.

Who it suits

Sombat Condoview suits buyers who care more about a Pratamnak address and a home of their own than about a list of resort amenities: for long stays, wintering in Pattaya or long-term letting. It is sensible to ask in advance about the state of the common areas and how the building is managed, which matters for a property of this age. As in any Thai condominium, up to 49% of the floor area can be registered in foreign ownership (the foreign quota); the rest is held under the Thai quota or through a company.
