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.
Pool villas from experienced developer Mouana in the inland Koh Kaew district near the island’s marinas
Mouana Koh Kaew — villa project, Ko Kaew: entry from ~$706,173, from $2,706 per sqm. Beach: Bang Tao, ~13 km. Both freehold and leasehold available. Yield: ~6% developer projection (villacarte). Completion: phases 1–2 — December 2025, phase 3 — October 2026 (per villacarte data).
Mouana Koh Kaew is a development of 3–4 bedroom pool villas, 261–332 sqm, by developer Mouana Phuket Property Development, in the inland Koh Kaew district near Boat Lagoon and Royal Phuket Marina. Every villa has a private pool, and the developer states a phased handover — part of the units by the end of 2025, with the final phase by October 2026.
Koh Kaew is a district in the center of the island’s east coast, built up mostly with gated villa and condo communities around Boat Lagoon and Royal Phuket Marina rather than beach infrastructure: it’s about 13 km to Bang Tao and 15 km to Patong. The format suits a buyer who values proximity to the marinas, international schools and the airport over a walk to the sea. In the same district, our catalog also lists the more spacious Casa de Monte (from ~$899,467) and the more compact Crown Estate (from ~$532,717) — Mouana Koh Kaew sits in between the two.
An entry price of $706,173 places the project in the middle of the Koh Kaew lineup: cheaper than Fortuna Lakeside ($1,018,051), but pricier than the budget-tier Crown Estate (~$532,717). The projected rental yield per the developer’s estimate is around 6% per year — above the catalog’s average benchmark for this segment; like any marketing projection, it’s worth verifying against actual occupancy rather than treating it as a guarantee in your calculations. The developer has not disclosed installment-plan terms as of publication.
Mouana Phuket Property Development has been on the island for more than 17 years and claims a portfolio of 20+ completed projects, including other Mouana series in Chalong and Mai Khao — a real track record, not just marketing promises. That said, independent sources diverge on details specific to the Mouana Koh Kaew project itself — phased handover dates and the exact number of villas in the complex — so we don’t publish an averaged figure and instead verify the status of a specific unit directly before reservation. The developer, for its part, confirms a phased handover: 2025 for the first phases, 2026 for the final one.
Who it suits: a buyer choosing an inland format near the island’s marinas and international schools rather than a beach one, and who is comfortable driving to the sea. Before reservation, we confirm the exact construction queue of the chosen villa, the current price, and the installment terms — part of our standard “12 developer checks.”

Our catalog currently tracks 10 projects in Ko Kaew; new-build entry level here: from ~$372,040. Mouana Koh Kaew’s entry price is about 21% below the district median — one of the most affordable starts in the area.
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 / 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 ~$706,173 per the villacarte source — a 3–4 bedroom villa of 261–332 sqm with a private pool.
Mouana Phuket Property Development — a developer with over 17 years on the island market and a portfolio of 20+ projects, including other Mouana series in Chalong and Mai Khao.
Per villacarte data — phases 1–2 in December 2025, phase 3 in October 2026. The exact status depends on the construction queue of the specific villa.
Both options are available within the foreign ownership quota.
About 13 km to Bang Tao beach and 15 km to Patong — Koh Kaew functions as an inland location near the island’s marinas, not as a beach district.
The developer projects ~6% per year. This is a marketing benchmark, not a contractually guaranteed payout.
By entry price, Mouana Koh Kaew (~$706,173) is cheaper than Casa de Monte (~$899,467) and noticeably more affordable than Fortuna Lakeside (~$1,018,051), but pricier than the compact Crown Estate (~$532,717). The difference usually comes down to plot size and layout — all sit in the same inland Koh Kaew area near the marinas.
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.
