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.

A low-density club of 7 solar-powered villas near international schools, 5 km from Bang Tao
Mali Villas — villa project, Bang Tao · Laguna: entry from ~$676,921, from $2,156 per sqm. Beach: Bang Tao, ~5 km. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~6% developer forecast. Completion: off-plan, 10–24 months from payment (average ~12).
Mali Villas is a low-density club of 7 private pool villas in Thep Krasattri, the northern part of the Bang Tao area. The developer is Maliwan Asset Co., Ltd., a division of C & N Bungalow Phuket with more than 30 years of hospitality experience on the island. The project is at the off-plan stage, with entry pricing from ~$676,921 for a villa of ~314 sqm.
Thep Krasattri is a developing part of Thalang closer to the island’s north, quieter and less densely built than the Cherng Talay core, yet still within reach of the same infrastructure: Boat Avenue, Porto de Phuket, and Laguna Golf Club are all within half an hour. Two international schools sit nearby, UWC Thailand (~6.3 km) and HeadStart (~7.7 km), making the area attractive to families. Bang Tao beach is about 5 km away, a drive by car. Our catalog also lists Fifth Element in the same Bang Tao area — a completed project by a different developer with a higher entry price and walking distance to Boat Avenue.
Entry price starts from ~$676,921 for a 3-bedroom villa of ~314 sqm. The second, larger villa type (Phuttachat, ~342 sqm) costs from ~$854,280. All 7 villas are built to one of two identical layouts — choice is limited, but pricing is predictable and doesn’t depend on individual lot characteristics, unlike more varied projects.
Rental income is forecast by the developer at ~6% per year with a payback of about 10 years. Since Mali Villas is the brand’s first development project, there’s no established public occupancy track record yet — the forecast should be read as a marketing estimate at the launch stage.
Maliwan Asset Co., Ltd. isn’t a newcomer in the broad sense: its parent company, C & N Bungalow Phuket, has worked in the island’s hospitality business for more than 30 years, but Mali Villas is the brand’s debut project specifically in villa development. That’s not the same as a developer with zero history, but it’s also not a multi-year villa portfolio like some neighboring players in the area.
The project is at the off-plan stage: the construction timeline is stated as 10–24 months from payment, averaging around 12. On the plus side, mitigating typical off-plan risk somewhat, are the energy-efficient design choices (rooftop solar panels, thoughtful ventilation), which should reduce running costs for the villa over time. The developer has not yet disclosed CAM fee or sinking fund figures.
Who it suits: a family or investor who values low-density living, proximity to international schools, and an energy-efficient villa design, and who is comfortable with the off-plan risk of a brand’s debut project. Our role as an agency is to check the construction pace, availability of each of the two villa types among the 7 lots, and reservation 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.

Both options are available — freehold and leasehold.
About 5 km to Bang Tao beach (~10 minutes by car) — there is no walking distance.
The developer forecasts ~6% per year with a payback of about 10 years. This is a marketing estimate on the brand’s debut project — no established public track record exists yet.
Fifth Element is an already-completed project by a different developer with a notably higher price (from ~$1,149,747) and walking distance to Boat Avenue. Mali Villas is cheaper to enter but still at the construction stage.
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.
~6% developer forecast — 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.
