When buying freehold
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.

Private-pool villas near Laguna Phuket — phases 1–2 already completed and occupied
Asherah Villas — villa project, Bang Tao · Laguna: entry from ~$743,151, from $2,429 per sqm. Beach: Layan, ~6 km (not walkable). Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~6% developer forecast. Completion: phases 1–2 completed in 2023.
Asherah Villas is a villa estate of 37 homes with private pools in Cherng Talay, next to the Laguna Phuket infrastructure. Phases 1 and 2 (20 villas) are already completed and occupied since 2023, while phase 3, comprising 17 villas, is currently under construction.
Cherng Talay (Thep Krasattri sub-area) is an inland zone in the center of northern Phuket, not a beachfront location: it is about 6 km to Layan and roughly 15 minutes by car to Bang Tao. In exchange for the distance from the sea, the project sits next to Laguna Phuket’s infrastructure — golf clubs, international schools and shopping centers — making the location convenient for families with children and permanent residence. In the same Cherng Talay sub-area, our catalog also lists Annara Residences — a smaller enclave of 9 villas without a completed operating history yet.
Entry starts from ~$743,151 for a 3–4-bedroom villa: a house of 306 to 458 sqm on a plot of 405 to 643 sqm — large by the island’s standards. Solar panels and a smart home come as standard, which is more the exception than the rule for villas in this segment on Phuket. The developer’s yield forecast is around 6% per year, but as with most villa projects, this is a marketing benchmark rather than a guaranteed payout: the actual figure will depend on the specific villa, seasonality and the management company.
The developer is Thai Molman Real Estate Co., Ltd., founded in 2020 by a team with a claimed 20+ years of experience in real estate. An important distinction of Asherah Villas from a typical off-plan project: phases 1 and 2 (20 villas) are already completed and occupied since 2023 — meaning the project has a real operating history rather than just promises on paper. Phase 3, comprising 17 new villas, is currently under construction, and standard off-plan risks apply to it. It is also worth checking the ownership structure separately: leasehold for foreigners is capped at 30 years with the option of two extensions (up to 90 years in total) — more complex for resale than direct freehold, which is only available to Thai entities.
Who it suits: a buyer who wants a pool villa near the Laguna Phuket infrastructure and is willing to consider an inland location instead of a coastal one. The already completed phases 1–2 suit those who want to buy a ready home with a track record rather than wait through construction; phase 3 suits those willing to enter at an earlier, more flexible-priced stage.
Our role as an agency is to confirm the current status of phase 3 with the developer, check the leasehold documentation of the specific villa, and — if a phase 1–2 resale is being considered — review its operating and rental history. The commission is paid by the developer, so the price does not change for the buyer.

The developer information in this listing states: freehold for Thai entities; leasehold for foreigners — 30 years with two extensions (up to 90 years total). 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.
A foreign buyer may own the structure but cannot directly own Thai land. The land element is normally held through a registered long lease or another lawful structure. Term, renewals, inheritance and resale rights must be explicit in the contract.
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.
Indicative estimate: yield and the rental model depend on the project, unit and management program. Request an exact projection for a specific unit.

Freehold is available for Thai entities. For foreign buyers — leasehold for 30 years with the option of two extensions (up to 90 years total).
The developer states a forecast of around 6% per year. This is a developer benchmark, not a guaranteed payout — actual yield depends on the specific villa and management company.

Annara Residences is a smaller villa enclave (9 villas) in the same sub-area. Asherah Villas is larger by villa count (37) and already has completed and occupied phases — the difference between a young project and a complex with a partial operating history.
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.
