263 units in Bang Tao by Art House Group — 500 m to Boat Avenue, a 5% fixed-income programme for 3 years
Above Element Condominium — condo project, Bang Tao · Laguna: entry from ~$148,816, from $3,916 per sqm. Beach: Bang Tao, ~1.5 km. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~5% management-company fixed-return programme for the first 3 years. Completed in 2026 — ready units, handover under way.
Above Element Condominium is a large completed project by Art House Group in Bang Tao: two seven-storey buildings totalling 263 units, with full-cycle infrastructure and a stated rental income commitment for the first three years. It is one of the few projects in the district combining proximity to the Boat Avenue retail cluster with a relatively accessible entry price.
The complex sits just ~500 metres from Boat Avenue, the west coast’s main shopping and dining cluster, and about 1.5 km from Bang Tao Beach. For comparison, the closest entry-price competitor in our catalog is Rhea by Sansiri by national developer Sansiri: a similar entry price, but a different developer profile and a location a bit further from the retail infrastructure. Above Element specifically bets on walking-distance access to Boat Avenue — a rare edge for a project at this price point.
Entry from ~$148,816 for a compact 1-bedroom of ~38 sqm is an accessible price for a location within walking distance of the district’s main retail cluster. Larger layouts — 2-bedrooms of ~47 sqm and 3-bedrooms up to ~138 sqm — are available per the current price list. The management company states a 5% annual income commitment for the first three years — the wording sounds like a contractual obligation, but the exact payout source, cancellation terms and what happens after year three are worth checking in the contract rather than taking on faith from marketing materials.
Art House Group is a developer with a real Phuket portfolio: around 9 projects and roughly 995 units, including delivered properties. Construction of Above Element Condominium was finished in 2026 — the complex is completed and ready units are available, so the typical off-plan risks (delays, unfinished construction) no longer apply here: you assess the actual building, not renderings. The transparency weak spot is the absence of public CAM fee and sinking fund data, worth requesting before reserving a specific unit.
Who it suits: an investor looking for a compact unit within walking distance of Bang Tao’s retail infrastructure, willing to treat the stated yield commitment as a marketing benchmark that needs contract verification. Buyers who need permanent, spacious housing should look at 3-bedroom layouts or other districts on the island.
Our role as an agency — to request the exact yield commitment terms and management contract from the developer, clarify CAM fee and sinking fund before reservation, verify the handover and title status of the specific unit before the deal, and support the process through to title registration. The developer pays our commission — the price stays the same for the buyer.

The developer information in this listing states: freehold or leasehold — both options available. This is the project-level starting point, not a legal opinion on a particular unit. The contract, title, foreign quota and seller authority must be verified before reservation.
A foreign-quota condominium is registered in the buyer’s name. Purchase funds must enter Thailand with the correct purpose so the receiving bank can issue the foreign-exchange evidence used at the Land Office.
Leasehold is registered as a long-term lease. The review covers the term, renewals, assignment, inheritance, early termination and the landowner’s obligation to register the transaction.
Verify the receiving legal entity, construction milestone, payment trigger, delay remedies and the documents the seller must deliver for registration.
This is general information. Structure and taxes depend on the unit, seller and contract; an independent Thai lawyer should complete the final review.

Yes, the management company states a 5% annual contractual commitment for the first 3 years. This is a developer claim — verify the exact terms and payout source in the contract.
About 1.5 km to Bang Tao Beach and just ~500 m to the Boat Avenue retail cluster.
The closest entry price in our catalog is Rhea by Sansiri (catalog/rhea-by-sansiri) by national developer Sansiri. Above Element offers a location closer to Boat Avenue and a stated yield commitment, but without Sansiri’s corporate scale behind it.
Yes, the unit stays yours. Inside a managed rental program the number of owner-stay nights is capped by the contract — we go through the exact terms for this project before you book.
Funds arrive from abroad in foreign currency and the Thai bank issues an FET form. Without it the Land Department will not register freehold to a foreigner, so we agree the amount and payment reference in advance.
