A boutique estate of 8 Balinese-style villas at the foot of the Big Buddha in Chalong
Kiri Buddha Pool Villa — villa project, Chalong: entry from ~$947,024, from $2,203 per sqm. Beach: Kata, ~7 km. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~5% projected by the developer. Phase 1 delivered June 2022.
Kiri Buddha Pool Villa is a boutique estate of just 8 Balinese-style villas at the foot of the Big Buddha in Chalong. The developer is Hunyaorn Design And Construction, a small Phuket company without a large public portfolio of other projects. The villas are single-storey, each with a private garden and pool — a format built for buyers who want a quiet, closed estate without dense neighbouring construction.
The project sits in Chalong, at the foot of one of the island’s most recognisable landmarks, the Big Buddha statue. This isn’t a beach location: Kata beach is about 7 km away, reachable only by car or scooter. In exchange, the area offers quiet and hillside views — every villa on the estate has its own garden with a private pool, and the whole estate is enclosed by automatic gates with 24-hour security and CCTV.
Entry to the project is from ~$947,024, but that figure spans the full range of the estate’s 8 two-to-four-bedroom villas rather than a single unit: a compact 2-bedroom villa (~192 sqm) starts from ~$505,000, while the top-tier 4-bedroom (~472–498 sqm) starts from ~$1.04M. The more-than-twofold difference comes down to house and plot size — we confirm the specific type and current price before making an offer to a client. The developer projects a ~5%/year yield for rental, but this figure is a marketing projection, not independently confirmed for this specific estate.
Phase 1 was delivered in June 2022 — a ready asset with several years of operating history, not a paper off-plan project. Phase 2, however, is still sold as off-plan with a 10–24 month construction timeline — a typical Phuket timeframe, but one that warrants a separate check of construction status before reservation. The management company doesn’t publish CAM fee or sinking fund figures — worth clarifying directly before the deal.
As an agency, we’ll confirm the actual status of the specific villa (the ready Phase 1 or the under-construction Phase 2), verify the ownership structure — freehold or leasehold — and discuss realistic rental terms directly with the developer, rather than relying solely on the marketing yield projection. For clients who prioritise beach proximity, we’ll compare Kiri Buddha Pool Villa’s economics against coastal projects in the catalog. Use our Phuket villa ROI methodology to test the developer forecast against ADR, occupancy and the full running-cost stack.

Our catalog currently tracks 17 projects in Chalong; new-build entry level here: from ~$84,530. Kiri Buddha Pool Villa’s entry price is about 69% 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 for the Thai side of the deal; leasehold up to 90 years (30+30+30) for foreign buyers. 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.

~5% per year — a developer projection, not independently confirmed for this specific estate.
About 7 km to Kata beach — this isn’t a beachfront project, transport is required.
It’s one of the most boutique villa formats in the district — just 8 villas versus 20+ units at neighbouring brands like Botanica Chalong Bay. We’ll compare the economics of a boutique versus a larger format for your budget.
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% projected by the developer — 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.
