A boutique community of 12 villas on large plots in Bang Tao — private pool and staff quarters in every villa
The Teak Forestias — villa project, Bang Tao · Laguna: entry from ~$875,825, from $1,828 per sqm. Beach: Bang Tao, ~3.6 km. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~6% projected (developer marketing estimate). Completion: off-plan, ~10–24 months from construction start.
The Teak Forestias is a boutique community of 12 villas on large plots (414–571 m²) in Bang Tao, developed by Chanyawee Group. Every villa has 4 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a private ~10.4×4.3 m pool and separate staff quarters over roughly 479 m².
The project sits inland in Bang Tao, about 3.6 km from the beach itself (~5 minutes by car) — this is a quiet residential pocket of private plots, not a beachfront strip. Layan and Surin beaches are about 10 minutes by car, with Laguna Phuket’s infrastructure and the Boat Avenue retail cluster nearby. Elsewhere in Bang Tao, our catalog also covers Fifth Element — a completed villa and shophouse project within walking distance of Boat Avenue, but on noticeably smaller plots. The Teak Forestias instead bets on land size and the privacy of a boutique 12-villa club rather than walkable retail.
Entry is from 32,900,000 THB (~$875,825) for a 4-bedroom villa; the top lots in the same community reach 38,290,000 THB. For the Bang Tao villa segment this is a mid-range ticket — pricier than compact projects like Fifth Element in plot size, but without the premium for walkable retail. The developer projects a ~6% annual rental yield — a marketing estimate with no confirmed occupancy history, typical of nearly all off-plan villas in this segment of the island.
Ownership is asymmetric: foreigners only get 30-year leasehold with two renewals (90 years total), while freehold requires a Thai company or Thai nationality. This is a standard structure for villa communities, but worth factoring into the legal side of a deal in advance.
The project is off-plan: there’s no fixed handover date, and construction takes 10 to 24 months depending on villa configuration — a fairly wide range for planning a move-in or a rental launch. Chanyawee Group doesn’t have a large confirmed track record on the island, so build pace and quality are worth verifying in person rather than trusting the marketing site. For our agency this is standard off-plan due diligence: we check permits and the payment schedule before a deal and cross-check the actual build pace against photo reports rather than relying on the developer’s marketing figures.

The developer information in this listing states: 30+30+30-year leasehold for foreigners / freehold via Thai company or Thai nationals. 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.

Chanyawee Group Co., Ltd. A wider public portfolio of the company on Phuket is not confirmed by independent sources — we assess this specific project.
No fixed date: construction takes 10 to 24 months from the start, depending on the villa configuration.
Foreigners get 30-year leasehold with two renewals (90 years total). Freehold is available via a Thai company or for Thai nationals.
About 3.6 km to Bang Tao Beach (~5 minutes by car); Layan and Surin beaches are around 10 minutes by car.
The developer states a ~6% annual target. This is a marketing estimate; no confirmed occupancy track record is disclosed for this project.
Fifth Element in the same area is a ready project with smaller plots but is walking distance to Boat Avenue. The Teak Forestias trades that walkability for larger plots (414–571 m²) and the privacy of a boutique 12-villa club, at the cost of an off-plan horizon.
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% projected (developer marketing estimate) — 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.
