19 villas by a lake in Ko Kaew, 2 minutes from British International School — an inland project, not a beach one
Fortuna Lakeside — villa project, Ko Kaew: entry from ~$1,018,051. Beach: Patong ~15 km; Bang Tao ~16 km (not a beach project — inland, by a lake). Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~5% developer projection. Completion: off-plan, average construction time ~12 months (10–24) after the first payment.
Fortuna Lakeside is a villa complex of 19 homes ranging from 3 to 6 bedrooms in the Ko Kaew area, in central Phuket, by a lake and hills. The project is under construction: work begins after the first payment for a villa and takes 10 to 24 months, averaging around a year. Entry is from ~$1,018,051.
Ko Kaew is a sub-area between Phuket Town and Chalong, inland: not a beach location, but a quiet residential enclave with developed social infrastructure. The key advantage of the location is being about 2 minutes by car from British International School, making Fortuna Lakeside a notable option for families with children who value proximity to an international school over beach access. Patong and Bang Tao beaches are 15 km and 16 km away respectively — already a proper car trip, not a stroll. In the same Ko Kaew area, our catalog also lists Burasiri Koh Kaew by Sansiri, a completed villa complex delivered since 2013 with a lower entry price — a useful benchmark for buyers comparing readiness now with Fortuna Lakeside’s newer off-plan format.
Entry into the project is from ~$1,018,051, with a lineup spanning villas from 3 to 6 bedrooms — meaning the same complex fits both a compact family and a larger household. The exact price depends on the chosen configuration and size; the developer does not publish a single price table per type, so the final cost should be confirmed for the specific lot.
Rental is projected by the developer at around 5% per year. Since the project is still under construction, it has no established occupancy history or actual yield of its own — this is a sales-stage benchmark rather than a confirmed result. Owner costs (CAM fee, sinking fund) are not publicly disclosed by the developer.
Fortuna Lakeside is delivered under the developer’s own name — we found no large public portfolio of past completed projects under this brand, so its reputation has to be judged on this single current project. Construction begins after the first payment for a specific villa and takes 10 to 24 months depending on the number of bedrooms — a standard off-plan scheme for Phuket, but one that means an individual handover schedule per villa rather than a single date for the whole complex.
A key feature of the project worth stating honestly: despite the appealing “Lakeside” name and its position by a lake and hills, this is fundamentally not a beach project — 15–16 km to the nearest sea means a car trip every time for a beach day. Freehold is available alongside leasehold, which broadens the options for structuring the deal for a foreign buyer.
Who it suits: a family for whom proximity to British International School and a private, central-island location matter more than walkable beach access, as well as an investor looking for a wider range of configurations (3–6 bedrooms) within a single complex. Buyers for whom the beach or a ready-made property without an off-plan wait is essential should look at Burasiri Koh Kaew in the same district or coastal projects in the catalog.
Our role as an agency is to verify the current construction schedule for the chosen villa and its exact price by configuration, confirm the ownership structure (freehold or leasehold) for the specific lot, and clarify the terms of the rental management before signing.

Our catalog currently tracks 10 projects in Ko Kaew; new-build entry level here: from ~$372,040. Fortuna Lakeside’s entry price is about 13% above the district median — the project sits in the upper segment of the location.
The median is calculated from the “from” prices of all catalog projects in the district and refreshes with every update.
Neighbours are picked by the same property type and the closest entry price in the same area — the projects our buyers actually shortlist against each other. Figures recalculate with every catalogue update.

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.

From ~$1,018,051. The project has 19 villas ranging from 3 to 6 bedrooms; the exact price depends on the configuration.
Fortuna Lakeside — a developer delivering the project under its own name; we found no large public portfolio of past projects under this brand.
Off-plan: construction begins after the first payment for a villa and takes 10 to 24 months, averaging around 12.
Both freehold and leasehold are available; the structure is confirmed per specific villa.
This is not a beach project: about 15 km to Patong and 16 km to Bang Tao. On the other hand, British International School is about 2 minutes away.
Yes, the developer projects around 5% per year. The project has no rental track record of its own yet, so the figure is a marketing benchmark.
Burasiri Koh Kaew offers completed villas by Sansiri, delivered since 2013, at a lower entry price. Fortuna Lakeside is a newer off-plan project with a wider bedroom range (3–6) and proximity to the British school, but without an operating history and at a higher price.
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.
~5% developer projection — that is a projection, not a guarantee: actual income depends on occupancy, season and running costs. We model it for the specific unit before the deal.
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.
