Wongamat Garden Beach Condo

Wongamat Garden Beach Condo is a high-rise residential building in Wongamat, in the north of Pattaya; its official name is Wongamat Garden Beach Resort Condominium. Completed in 1993, it is a single tower of 32 storeys with 224 units. Wongamat Garden Beach Condo in Wongamat, Pattaya is a classic seaside tower of the nineties: no fashionable shared spaces, but spacious apartments, sea views from the high floors and a beach a few minutes' walk away.

Location

The building is on Soi Naklua 16, set back inside the seaside quarter. It is not a beachfront address, although listings sometimes describe it as standing directly on the beach: by map, the sand of Wong Amat Beach is about 250 m away on foot. The Palm Wongamat complex is about 200 m away and the Pullman Pattaya Hotel G about 650 m. The Sanctuary of Truth is roughly 1.2 km away on foot. The Terminal 21 shopping centre is about 2.9 km away by road, Bangkok Hospital Pattaya 3.5 km and Walking Street 6.3 km. Songthaews (shared pick-up taxis) run along Naklua Road, about 1.7 km away and easiest to reach by motorbike taxi or car.

Facilities

• communal swimming pool;
• jacuzzi;
• gym;
• sauna;
• on-site restaurant;
• parking;
• lifts;
• 24-hour security and CCTV.

The building is more than thirty years old, so the condition of the common areas and of each apartment is best judged at a viewing: some units have been fully refurbished, while others keep the finishes of earlier years.

Apartments

The building offers studios, one-bedroom apartments and a small number of two-bedroom units. Studios here are larger than usual, at about 44–50 sq m according to listings, and one-bedroom apartments reach 96 sq m, which is the size of the unit More Property currently lists. High floors look out over the bay and the islands, while views from the lower floors are more modest, so the outlook is worth checking unit by unit. Resale apartments are usually offered furnished; the ownership quota, foreign or Thai, is confirmed for each property.

Who it suits

Wongamat Garden Beach Condo suits buyers who want a spacious apartment near the beach for year-round living or long winter stays and are comfortable with the age of the building. The large floor areas work well for couples and families, and for people who work from home. Sea-view apartments a few minutes from Wong Amat Beach are also of interest for long-term letting. Those who put newly finished common areas, facilities for children and private access to the sea first should compare the building with neighbouring complexes of recent years. 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.
