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 23-villa estate managed by CBRE near Thalang’s international schools — from ~$771,398
Serene Raya Bangjo — villa project, Bang Tao · Laguna: entry from ~$771,398, from $2,309 per sqm. Beach: Bang Tao, ~6.5 km. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~5% developer projection. Completion: part of the villas handed over, new phases off-plan (10–24 months from first payment).
Serene Raya Bangjo is an estate of 23 villas, 3–4 bedrooms, in the Bangjo area of Si Sunthon, an inland part of Thalang north of Bang Tao. The estate sits on a plot of over 12,095 sqm; part of the villas is already built and handed over, while the remaining phases are at the off-plan construction stage. The project is built by Serene Property & Development Co., Ltd., with rental and facility management handled by the international company CBRE.
Bangjo and Si Sunthon are not a beach area but an inland, infrastructure-driven part of the larger Bang Tao/Thalang direction: people move here for more affordable land while staying close to the developed services of the west coast. Within a few kilometers are the Boat Avenue retail cluster, the Blue Tree entertainment and water park, and two international school campuses — UWC Thailand and British International School — a strong argument for families with children. Bang Tao beach is about 6.5 km away, reachable only by car. In the same direction, we also list Rungtiva Private Pool Villas and Sana Vista Villas — neighboring intimate villa estates. Serene Raya Bangjo is larger in scale (23 villas) and stands out with professional CBRE management instead of self-managed rental.
Entry into the project starts from ~$771,398 for a 3-bedroom villa of ~334 sqm and up, giving a price of around $2,270 per square meter — noticeably below beachfront villa projects in Bang Tao and Layan due to the distance from the sea. 4-bedroom villas of ~381 sqm start from ~$879,842. The price difference between configurations follows standard logic: a premium for an extra bedroom and floor area, not for location.
The developer states a rental yield target of around 5% per year, with rental and facility management handled by CBRE — this removes the operational burden from the owner but also means a standard management fee. The exact CAM fee and other running costs have not been publicly disclosed.
Part of the estate’s villas is already built and handed over — this sets Serene Raya Bangjo apart from purely paper off-plan projects: buyers can see a real, rather than rendered, result of the developer’s work. The remaining phases are under construction with a stated period of 10–24 months from the first payment, and the segment’s standard schedule-slippage risk still applies. Serene Property & Development also runs Serene Raya Villas Bang Tao and Plus Condo Korat — the portfolio is not limited to one project.
Who it suits: a buyer looking for a villa with professional CBRE management in a family-oriented inland area near international schools, comfortable with needing a car to reach the sea. Anyone for whom walking distance to the beach is critical should look at Layan and Bang Tao projects closer to the water.
Our role as an agency is to view an already-handed-over villa or a specific lot in the next phase, confirm the CBRE management terms, and the ownership structure before any deposit is made.

The developer information in this listing states: freehold / leasehold — set per villa. 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.

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.
