Already-built Botanica villas near Bang Tao — completed in 2023, an active resale market of 65 units
Botanica Forestique — villa project, Bang Tao · Laguna: entry from ~$1,091,956, from $3,239 per sqm. Beach: Bang Tao, ~4 km. Ownership: freehold. No rental program at this project. Completed, November 2023 (the villacarte listing page is still styled as an off-plan project with installment terms).
Botanica Forestique is an already-built villa complex from the Botanica (AAP Development) brand: 65 four-bedroom villas with 5–6 bathrooms, house sizes of 318–567 sqm on plots of 654–1,210 sqm, handed over in November 2023. Unlike most projects in our catalog, there’s no construction risk here as such — the complex is fully complete, and a specific villa can be inspected before signing the contract.
The developer’s “in the heart of Bang Tao” positioning should be taken with a grain of salt: the actual distance to the beach is about 4 km, and it’s not walkable.
The offer may include either remaining developer instalment terms on unsold lots or owner resales — we confirm a specific lot’s status and applicable payment scheme during selection.
Pricing starts from ~$1,091,956 (the most compact 318 sqm villa), but the range across the complex is wide: the larger 567 sqm villas on bigger plots sell for up to ~$1.9M. The average price per sqm is around THB 101,000 — in line with what you’d expect for a completed villa project of this class, 4 km from Bang Tao, with no direct sea access. The 5–6 bathroom layout for 4 bedrooms isn’t the most common format on the market: it’s designed for large families or guest-heavy scenarios, where having a private bathroom for each bedroom is a real convenience.
A notable sign of a healthy resale market: around 28 of the complex’s 65 villas are listed for sale at the same time, through different agencies. That’s not a red flag — rather, it confirms liquidity: reselling a villa of this brand in this location is achievable in practice, not just in theory.
As an agency, we work off the developer’s pricing for currently unsold units: for Forestique, that means first confirming which specific villas are still available directly from Botanica (rather than resale), their exact house and plot size, and the current payment terms — since the villacarte listing is clearly not synced with the project’s “already completed” status.

The developer information in this listing states: freehold (land + house). 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.

From ~$1,091,956 — the price of the most compact 318 sqm villa. The full range across the complex runs from ~$1.03M to ~$1.9M depending on house and plot size.
It’s already built and completed — handed over in November 2023. This is a finished complex, though the villacarte listing is styled like an off-plan project with installment terms described — current purchase terms (full payment or a remaining installment balance from the developer) need to be confirmed directly.
Botanica (AAP Development) — a villa developer in Phuket since 2005, the same brand behind Botanica Grand Avenue and Botanica Foresta.
About 4 km — noticeably further than the marketing phrase "in the heart of Bang Tao" implies. You’ll need a car to reach the beach.
Freehold for both land and house — standard for Botanica-brand villas.
The ~6% yield is a projection. We’ll give a realistic benchmark based on actual rental statistics for large villas in this part of the island.
Out of the complex’s 65 villas, about 28 are listed for sale at the same time by different agencies — that’s normal for a completed project with an active resale market, and points to liquidity rather than problems with the project.
Yes, with no restrictions: this project has no managed rental program, so the unit is yours year-round.
There is no income guarantee — the project has no rental program. The unit is let privately or through an outside management company.
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.
