When purchasing an apartment under the Thai Quota, the buyer typically pays a transfer fee (registration of title transfer) — 2% of the appraised value (often split 50/50 with the seller), as well as stamp duty or Specific Business Tax (SBT) depending on the seller's holding period. Legal fees and document verification range from 30,000 to 60,000 baht. Agency fees are usually paid by the seller.
The final transaction amount is calculated individually and provided before the contract is signed.
Annual expenses: common area maintenance fee (CAM) — approximately 35 baht/m² per month, which for this studio amounts to about 910 baht per month, or 10,920 baht per year. Property tax is also paid annually — for properties valued up to 50 million baht, the rate is 0.02–0.10% of the cadastral value. Upon purchase, the sinking fund contribution is also payable — approximately 77 baht/m².
Purchase procedure and transaction format

Transaction steps: property selection, legal due diligence, signing of a preliminary contract, fund transfer, and registration at the Land Department. Online viewings and remote purchase by power of attorney are available. Languages of support — Thai, English, Russian (upon request).

- Those looking for an affordable studio in a sought‑after area of Pattaya.
- Investors considering acquisition for rental purposes.
- Buyers with a budget of up to 1.5 million baht.
May not be suitable for
- If you prefer freehold ownership under the foreign quota — the property is held under Thai Quota.

What to know before the transaction
The property is held under Thai Quota — this requires a separate review of the possibility of transfer to a foreign buyer. It is recommended to engage a Thai lawyer for document verification. The complex was built in 2015 — it is worth checking the condition of the elevators, systems, and the sinking fund. During the season, the area is busy and parking may be crowded. Be sure to clarify the Thai Quota transfer terms before signing the contract.
