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 small 8-villa pool community 17 minutes from the airport
The Arthur Foresta Maikhao — villa project, Mai Khao: entry from ~$471,995, from $2,034 per sqm. Beach: Mai Khao, ~5.6 km. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~6% developer projection. Completion: off-plan, exact handover date to be confirmed with the developer.
The Arthur Foresta Maikhao is a small community of just 8 villas in the Mai Khao area, at the island’s north-western tip. All villas share the same configuration: 3 bedrooms, 232–273 sqm, a private pool and a 2-car garage with a separate driveway. The architecture is minimalist, with large windows, stone cladding and wood-accented ceilings.
Mai Khao is Phuket’s northernmost beach area, known for its long sand strip, proximity to the airport, and its status as a district still forming into the island’s residential and medical cluster. The beach is about 5.6 km away, so transport is essential; in exchange, HKT airport is only about 17 minutes away, noticeably faster than from most areas on the island’s west coast. A medical infrastructure cluster is also forming nearby — including a hospital 12 minutes away — making the location interesting not only for holidays but also for quieter full-time living.
Entry into the project starts from ~$471,995 for a 232–273 sqm villa. Among neighbours in the Mai Khao area, this is noticeably more affordable than Mouana Mai Khao and Maison Sky Villas, but pricier than Maviston Mai Khao. The format is also smaller in scale than most neighbours — just 8 villas in a single configuration, with no variation in size or bedroom count. The developer states a projected rental yield of around 6% per year — a standard marketing benchmark for this emerging part of the island, with no operating track record yet.
The exact handover date is not publicly disclosed — typical for small local developers at an early project stage, but it requires extra attention during reservation: the payment schedule and construction timeline need to be locked directly into the contract rather than relying on verbal promises. The Arthur Real Estate has no publicly confirmed portfolio of other properties, meaning The Arthur Foresta Maikhao is essentially the developer’s market debut.
Who it suits: a buyer looking for a compact villa format near the airport at a below-average price for the area, and willing to pay extra attention to legal due diligence given the developer’s short track record. Before reservation we check the building permit status, the company’s legal history, and lock the payment schedule into the contract — not a formality for a debut project.

The developer information in this listing states: freehold (within quota) / 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 ~$471,995 for a 3-bedroom villa of 232–273 sqm. The community has just 8 villas, all in the same configuration.
The Arthur Real Estate Co., Ltd. — a Phuket developer for whom this is, so far, the only publicly known project.
The exact date is not publicly disclosed — off-plan, at the construction stage. Before reservation we lock the schedule into the contract directly with the developer.
Villas are available both as freehold within the foreign quota and as leasehold beyond it — the exact status of a specific lot is confirmed during selection.
The developer targets ~6% per year. This is a marketing projection with no confirmed operating track record — we check it against comparable villas in the Mai Khao area.
Mai Khao beach is about 5.6 km away, requiring transport. HKT airport is about 17 minutes by car, which is convenient for infrequent visits.
On entry price, The Arthur Foresta Maikhao is more affordable than Mouana Mai Khao and Maison Sky Villas, but pricier than Maviston Mai Khao. The difference lies in scale (just 8 villas) and the fact that this is the developer’s first publicly recorded market entry.
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 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.
