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 202-unit condo 100 m from Patong beach — a rental pool in the island’s busiest tourist district
The Balance Patong — condo project, Patong: entry from ~$178,484, from $6,865 per sqm. Beach: Patong, ~100 m. Both freehold and leasehold available. A managed rental program runs here — the yield is calculated per unit. Completion: December 2027.
The Balance Patong is a large condo project with 202 units across two wave-shaped 5-storey buildings around a shared pool, 100 metres from Patong beach. The masterplan covers more than housing — a five-star hotel, a beach club and commercial space. Completion is stated for December 2027.
Patong is Phuket’s busiest district by tourist flow: year-round demand for short-term rentals, a developed entertainment scene, restaurants and shops within walking distance — but also noticeably more noise and tourist density than Kata, Kamala or Bang Tao. The Jungceylon and Central Patong retail and entertainment cluster is about 10 minutes on foot. Our catalog also lists Bluepoint Condominium and Seavale Residences Patong in Patong — smaller, infill developments, while The Balance Patong is a large-scale project with its own masterplan and hotel infrastructure.
Entry starts from ~$178,484 for a studio from 26 sqm, with the top of the range reaching 121 sqm. For Patong, where year-round resort rental occupancy is the market norm rather than the exception, that’s a competitive entry level: comparable-format condo-hotels sit nearby, but an in-house masterplan with a beach club and commercial space is unusual for this segment.
The rental model is a pool split 70% to the owner and 30% to the management company. That’s the standard Patong ratio, driven by the high operating costs of managing short-term rentals in the island’s busiest tourist district. The full unit mix beyond studios isn’t disclosed yet — typical for the early sales stage of a large project.
The complex is designed as two 5-storey buildings with underground parking, a central pool with tropical landscaping, a designer lobby, co-working space and a fitness centre. Completion is stated for December 2027. The developer, The Balance Patong Co., Ltd., is a project company set up specifically for this development — there’s no confirmed public portfolio of other delivered island projects, which is standard for new SPVs on the Thai market but calls for closer legal due diligence before reserving. Patong is also objectively the island’s loudest district — if the goal is quiet full-time living rather than rental income, neighbouring districts are worth a look. Buying through Layan Real Estate costs the same as going direct to the developer; we check the reservation contract, the building-permit status, and send the current price list the same day you ask.

The developer information in this listing states: freehold / leasehold (foreign quota 49%). 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.
Leasehold is registered as a long-term lease. The review covers the term, renewals, assignment, inheritance, early termination and the landowner’s obligation to register the transaction.
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 ~$178,484 for a studio from 26 sqm — the project’s entry configuration.
The line-up goes up to 121 sqm — larger-footprint apartments at the top of the complex’s range.
The developer states December 2027.
Both are available within the standard 49% foreign quota for condominiums.
A pool split 70% to the owner / 30% to the management company — Patong’s year-round tourist flow supports this arrangement.
~100 m to the beach, about 10 minutes on foot to the Jungceylon / Central Patong retail and entertainment cluster.
Unlike smaller resale developments such as Bluepoint Condominium or Seavale Residences, The Balance Patong is a large off-plan project with its own masterplan (hotel, beach club, commercial space) — more rental infrastructure, but also a longer wait until completion.
No guaranteed rate is claimed: a managed rental program runs here and income follows occupancy. We calculate it for the specific unit.
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.
