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.

Villas with a 180-degree view of Surin and Bang Tao next to Amanpuri
Baan Thai Surin Hill — villa project, Surin: entry from ~$5,347,605, from $17,825 per sqm. Beach: Surin, ~1 km. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~6% developer forecast. Completed, 2005-2006.
Baan Thai Surin Hill is a club of 23 villas on a hillside between Surin and Bang Tao beaches, with a 180-degree panoramic view over both beaches and next door to the ultra-luxury Amanpuri resort. The villas are three storeys, from 300 sqm of living area, 4-6 bedrooms, with a private pool at every home. Completed in 2005-2006.
Surin is one of the most prestigious beach areas of Phuket’s west coast, known for fine-dining restaurants and neighbouring villa resorts on the level of Amanpuri. Surin beach itself is about 1 km from the complex, the Boat Avenue retail hub is a few minutes by car, and HKT airport is roughly 25-30 minutes away. Further north, in Nai Thon, our catalog also lists comparably positioned ultra-luxury projects Trisara and Malaiwana.
Entry from ~$5,347,605 is one of the highest price points in our catalog, noticeably above Trisara (from ~$3,750,000) and Malaiwana (from ~$1,797,295) in Nai Thon. The difference in positioning: Baan Thai Surin Hill isn’t selling an international hotel operator’s service, but a 180-degree view over two beaches at once and an address next to Amanpuri — a one-of-a-kind asset rather than resort infrastructure. The developer forecasts a yield of around 6% per year, but the specific rental terms and ownership costs (CAM fee, taxes) aren’t publicly disclosed — request them individually per villa.
The developer is Surin Hill Condotel Company Limited, for which this is the only publicly confirmed project on the island. The complex was fully completed back in 2005-2006 — nearly two decades of operating history removes construction-delay risk, but calls for careful technical inspection of building systems, roofing and finishes before buying. The company doesn’t publicly detail plot layouts or the exact unit mix, so specific parameters should be checked against each available villa individually.
Who it suits: a buyer looking for a one-of-a-kind asset with a unique view over two beaches and a prestigious address rather than an international hotel brand project, and prepared for a high entry price and independent verification of an ageing building’s technical condition. Before reserving, we’ll check the title status of the specific villa, its real technical condition after almost 20 years of operation, and current rental management terms.

The developer information in this listing states: freehold / leasehold. 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.

Surin Hill Condotel Company Limited — the only confirmed project by this company on Phuket, with an operating history of nearly 20 years.
In 2005-2006 — this is fully completed property with a long operating history.
Both options are available — freehold and leasehold, depending on the specific villa.
The developer forecasts around 6% per year — a benchmark, not a guarantee, and worth checking against the actual performance of a specific villa.
About 1 km to Surin beach, with the villas set on a hillside with an open view of the water.
Trisara (from ~$3,750,000) and Malaiwana (from ~$1,797,295) are more accessible ultra-luxury projects in Nai Thon. Baan Thai Surin Hill costs more to enter, but offers a unique view over two beaches at once and an address next to Amanpuri.
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.
