The Palm Wongamat

The Palm Wongamat is a beachfront residential complex on Wong Amat Beach in the north of Pattaya; the project's full name is The Palm Wongamat Beach. It was built by Nova Group (Nova Luxury Development), a developer behind a series of Pattaya condominiums. The complex consists of two towers: the main one rises 46 storeys and, according to the CTBUH tall-buildings database, reaches 160 m, while the second is considerably lower, at under 30 storeys. The towers were completed in 2015–2016 and together hold about 540 units. The Palm Wongamat condominium in Wongamat, Pattaya is a high-rise project with its own access to the beach.

Location

The complex stands at the end of Soi Naklua 16, the street that leads from Naklua Road to the sea; the main road is 1.5–2 km away. The grounds open directly onto the northern part of Wong Amat Beach: by map, the towers are about 150 m from the water's edge, across the project's own garden and pool area. The Sanctuary of Truth is roughly 1.2 km away on foot and the Pullman Pattaya Hotel G about 900 m. The Terminal 21 shopping centre is about 3.2 km away by road, Bangkok Hospital Pattaya 3.7 km and Walking Street 6.6 km. Songthaews (shared pick-up taxis) run along Naklua Road, which is easiest to reach by motorbike taxi or car.

Apartments

The complex offers studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, plus rarer three- and four-bedroom units. Studios measure about 32–33 sq m (the size of the unit More Property currently lists), one-bedroom apartments roughly 46–54 sq m, and two-bedroom units mostly 72–97 sq m. According to the project description, every apartment has a sea view; in practice it depends on the floor and the tower, so the outlook should be checked for each unit. On the resale market apartments are usually offered furnished.

Who it suits

The Palm Wongamat is chosen by people who want to live right by the sea: the beach can be reached without leaving the grounds. Families will make use of the children's pool, playroom and playground. Compact studios and one-bedroom apartments on the beachfront are also a straightforward format for letting. For permanent living, note that the shops and transport on Naklua Road are a ride away, so your own vehicle helps. As in any Thai condominium, up to 49% of the total unit area can be registered in foreign freehold ownership (the foreign quota), with the rest held under the Thai quota or through a company.
