Villas by public Thai developer Land and Houses on a 20-rai estate in Cherng Talay
VIVE Phuket — villa project, Thalang: entry from ~$1,095,058, from $2,396 per sqm. Beach: Bang Tao / Layan, ~15 min drive. Ownership: freehold. Yield: ~6% annual yield (developer projection). Completion: around 2026, 10–24 months from start (averaging 12 months).
VIVE Phuket is a collection of 36 private villas on a 20-rai estate in Thep Krasattri, developed by Land and Houses (LH), one of Thailand’s largest public developers. Two formats — the compact Verve (457 sqm) and the larger Vibe (600 sqm) — share the same bet: house engineering over beachfront location.
Thep Krasattri is an inland part of Thalang, away from the coastal strip: Bang Tao and Layan beaches are about a 15-minute drive away, HKT airport is roughly 12.7 km (~25 minutes), Thalang Hospital is just 1.2 km, and UWC Thailand International School is 4.1 km. That’s a typical Thalang pattern — “infrastructure instead of beach”: a hospital, international school and supermarkets (Makro, Lotus’s) nearby, but no sea view and no five-minute access to water.
The same Thalang district in our catalog has the more affordable Anchan Mountain Breeze from $992,905 and the notably pricier luxury Tri Vananda from $1,677,475 — VIVE Phuket sits between them, but stands out for its developer’s name: Land and Houses is a listed public company, not a local player without a proven portfolio.
A 20-rai estate (about 3.2 hectares) for 36 villas means fairly low density for this market segment — each villa gets its own plot and a green buffer from neighbours, rather than the tightly packed grid typical of 30+ villa projects in Thalang.
Prices start at $1,095,058 for a Verve-format villa (457 sqm, 4 bedrooms). The larger Vibe format (600 sqm) costs more, though its exact price isn’t published in the open price list. On a price-per-square-metre-of-house basis, that’s above average for Thalang villa projects — the premium reflects the developer’s name and engineering standard, not a beachfront location.
Notable engineering touches include adjustable facade louvers for sun and privacy control, EV charging infrastructure, and Japanese Lixil digital door locks with anti-tamper protection — a set rarely seen from local developers at the same price point and usually associated with larger international players. The projected rental yield is around 6% a year, typical for villa projects at this tier in Thalang.
It’s worth understanding the positioning difference: neighbouring projects like Anchan sell location and price per square metre of land, while VIVE Phuket effectively sells brand and house-level engineering quality. For a buyer planning to live in the villa themselves rather than treat it as a rental commodity, that can outweigh a more modest distance from the beach.
Land and Houses (LH) is one of Thailand’s largest public developers, listed on the SET and building homes since 1983 — a fundamentally different reliability tier compared with most local Phuket developers in our catalog. For a buyer that means more financial transparency and less risk that the developer simply fails to deliver the project.
Handover is expected around 2026, with construction running 10–24 months from start (averaging 12 months) — the exact schedule is fixed in the per-villa contract. Public data doesn’t show the exact estate maintenance cost (CAM fee) for the 20-rai estate — we confirm that with the developer before a booking.
We’ll separately verify which specific villa is available for sale, the actual construction stage, and the freehold status of the specific plot before you place a booking. We work directly off the developer’s price list — buying through Layan Real Estate costs no more than at LH’s on-site sales office.
VIVE Phuket suits a buyer for whom the developer’s name and financial stability matter more than beachfront location: it’s a rare case on Phuket where a villa outside the first row commands a premium not for the view, but for the reputation of a public company and the engineering quality of the house.

Our catalog currently tracks 27 projects in Thalang; new-build entry level here: from ~$100,622. VIVE Phuket’s entry price is about 43% above the district median — the project sits in the upper segment of the location.
The median is calculated from the “from” prices of all catalog projects in the district and refreshes with every update.
Neighbours are picked by the same property type and the closest entry price in the same area — the projects our buyers actually shortlist against each other. Figures recalculate with every catalogue update.

The developer information in this listing states: freehold. 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 $1,095,058 per villacarte.com — a Verve-format villa, 4 bedrooms, 457 sqm. The larger Vibe format (600 sqm) costs more.
Land and Houses (LH), a major public Thai developer listed on the SET, building homes since 1983.
Around 2026; construction runs 10–24 months from start (averaging 12 months), with the exact schedule set in the per-villa contract.
Freehold — without the restrictions typical of some leasehold projects in this part of Thalang.
The developer projects ~6% a year via rental — a target, not a guarantee, dependent on actual occupancy once the villa is under management.
It costs more than most villa projects in the district — for example Anchan Mountain Breeze (from $992,905) — but notably less than the luxury Tri Vananda (from $1,677,475); the key differentiator is the developer’s name: LH is a public company with a half-century history, not a local player.
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.
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.
