Baan Sandao and Hua Hin’s Town Beach Condos Compared

In July, NPP Realty, acting for the buyer, announced that it had closed the purchase of the last developer unit at InterContinental Residences Hua Hin, a three-bedroom duplex of about 50M THB, and put the value of the whole project at more than 3.84bn THB (NPP Realty’s announcement in Brand Buffet). Hua Hin Today carried the news on 31 August and gave an average price of about 250,000 THB per sqm (Hua Hin Today on the InterContinental sell-out). Both figures come from announcements of the sale, not from Land Office records. For a buyer the meaning is simpler: the most expensive beach address in town can now be bought only from an owner.

That is resale, which is the business we are in, and InterContinental is not the only building in the centre of Hua Hin that buyers look up by name. Baan Sandao (also spelt Baan San Dao), Mykonos, La Casita, Baan Pakarang Sisom, Flame Tree Residence and Baan San Ploen all sit within walking distance of Hua Hin’s shops, and across the seven buildings we list 30 units for sale. This guide compares them on asking price, price per square metre, monthly fee and foreign quota. Every listing figure below is from our records as they stood on 27 September 2026.

What sold out at InterContinental Residences, and what can you still buy?

Sold out here means developer stock sold out; the units themselves still change hands, and we list seven. The two one-bedroom units, HC305 at 51 sqm and HC176 at 53 sqm, both ask 15.9M THB, HC305 having come down from 16.5M THB. The two-bedroom units are HC226 at 19.99M THB for 80 sqm, then HC336 and HC273 at 22M THB and 22.5M THB for 82 sqm each. At the top, HC262 asks 39.9M THB for 125 sqm and HC225 57.99M THB for 158 sqm, both with three bedrooms; HC225 is the most expensive condo we list in Hua Hin.

Per square metre, our units run from about 249,900 THB (HC226) to about 367,000 THB (HC225). The cheapest of them therefore sits almost exactly on the reported average and every other one sits above it, a premium for a building nobody can add to. The common-area fee is 100 THB per sqm a month on every unit except HC336, which pays 130 THB. The InterContinental Residences project page shows the building as a whole.

How far is each building from the sand?

Most of these buildings are marketed on the beach, but not all of them stand on it, and the difference shows in the price. Our guide to beachfront property in Hua Hin draws that line along the whole coast. InterContinental is built on beachfront land, according to the Hua Hin Today report above, and Thailand-Property describes Baan San Ploen as a beachfront condominium (Baan San Ploen on Thailand-Property). Those two are the buildings outside sources place on the beach. The units we list at Baan Pakarang Sisom are recorded with a beachfront view, which we have not confirmed independently.

Baan Sandao is the one that needs care. The estate has a beach terrace and its own walkway to the sand (Baan San Dao on Thailand-Property), but its entrance is on Petchkasem Road, opposite Market Village (Baan Sandao’s location described on Rental for the Holidays), so the beach is reached along that walkway rather than from the front door. It is a building with a path to the beach, not one on it, and it is priced as such. Mykonos is addressed on the same road, at 133/2 Petchkasem Road (Mykonos on Thailand-Property), so ask how far the walk is from the unit to the water. La Casita is about a five-minute walk from the beach by its own rental site’s account (La Casita’s location page), and Flame Tree Residence carries no beach tag on our listing at all.

Baan Sandao: why do so many buyers search for it by name?

Baan Sandao is a Sansiri development finished in 2009: five low-rise blocks of seven storeys holding 107 units, according to the Thailand-Property page above. It is the name in this guide that people search for most often, and the reasons are plain: its own path to the beach and a front door opposite Market Village. We list eight units there for sale. The one-bedroom HC310 asks 6M THB for 51 sqm. The two-bedroom units, all between 73 and 75 sqm, are HC353 at 6.99M THB, HC309 and HC349 at 7.9M THB each, HC192 at 8.5M THB, HC288 at 8.9M THB and 14000027 at 9.5M THB, the last also offered for rent. Five of them, HC310, HC353, HC309, HC349 and HC288, are marked Hot Deal.

Set the two-bedroom units side by side and the spread is 2.51M THB for flats of almost identical size. The dearest, 14000027, is the only one of them whose listing records a sea view, while the cheapest, HC353, records a city view, so ask about floor and outlook before comparing prices. Per square metre these ordinary units run from about 93,200 THB (HC353) to about 126,700 THB (14000027), against a median of 99,917 THB across the 168 condos we list in Hua Hin: only HC353 sits below that median, and 14000027 is about 27% above it. Fees are modest, from 38 THB per sqm a month on 14000027 to 62 THB on HC349.

The exception is the penthouse. HC239, the Baan Sandao penthouse, asks 55M THB for three bedrooms in 225 sqm, about 244,400 THB per sqm, and it is the most expensive condo we list with a recorded sea view; our page on sea-view property in Hua Hin sets it beside the other sea-view penthouses and prices what a view adds within a building. That is only about 5,400 THB per sqm below HC226, the lowest per-sqm unit we list at InterContinental, which makes it the real alternative to one: more space and a fee of 50 THB in an older building, against a hotel brand and the sand itself in a newer one. The Baan Sandao project page shows the estate as a whole.

What do Mykonos, Baan Pakarang Sisom and Baan San Ploen cost?

Mykonos, three seven-storey blocks built by Major Development and finished in 2009 according to its Thailand-Property page cited above, is the cheapest way into a beach-tagged building in this guide. HC245 asks 5.5M THB for a one-bedroom unit of 52 sqm and HC244 asks 6.5M THB for 55 sqm with a sea view, and both are recorded Foreign Quota, which matters more than the price to anyone buying in their own name. The two-bedroom HC291 asks 10M THB for 85 sqm. All three pay 50 THB per sqm a month and cost between about 105,800 and 118,200 THB per sqm. The Mykonos project page has the building’s details.

Baan Pakarang Sisom, finished in 2015, is where the large units are. HC179 asks 11M THB for two bedrooms in 71 sqm. HC251, a three-bedroom duplex of 144 sqm, has come down from 42.9M THB to 38.9M THB, and HC174, four bedrooms in 185 sqm, from 55M THB to 49M THB. At about 154,900 to 270,100 THB per sqm and a fee of 85 THB, this is the building that competes with InterContinental on space rather than on price, and both of its large units have already been reduced.

Baan San Ploen, finished in 2009, is about 200 metres’ walk from Market Village by the Thailand-Property page that calls it beachfront. Its seven units for sale run from HC401 at 9.5M THB for 90 sqm to HC151 at 20M THB for three bedrooms in 128 sqm, with HC155 at 16M THB for 100 sqm between them. That is about 105,600 to 160,000 THB per sqm, at a fee of 50 to 55 THB. The Baan San Ploen project page shows the building as a whole. Baan San Ploen is also one of the worked examples in our guide to rental income in Hua Hin, where a unit let at 55,000 THB a month is set against the asking prices of two for sale.

La Casita and Flame Tree: the town buildings

These two are town buildings rather than beach buildings, and they are priced accordingly. La Casita is the younger, a Sansiri project finished in 2019 on Soi Hua Hin 94/2 (La Casita on Thailand-Property), and the rental site cited above puts it about 550 metres from both Market Village and the Bluport mall. We list one unit: HC193, two bedrooms in 53 sqm at 5.9M THB, about 111,300 THB per sqm with a fee of 50 THB. The La Casita project page covers the rest of the building.

Flame Tree Residence, finished in 2012 and placed in Hua Hin city by our listing, is the least expensive way into town in this guide. HC299 is a top-floor one-bedroom unit of 43 sqm at 3.3M THB, about 76,700 THB per sqm, well below the town median, with a fee of 45 THB. It is also recorded Foreign Quota.

How do the buildings compare on price per sqm, fees and quota?

Building	Units we list	Asking price	THB per sqm	Fee, THB per sqm a month	Recorded Foreign Quota
InterContinental Residences	7	15.9M to 57.99M THB	249,900 to 367,000	100 to 130	HC305
Baan Pakarang Sisom	3	11M to 49M THB	154,900 to 270,100	85	none
Baan San Ploen	7	9.5M to 20M THB	105,600 to 160,000	50 to 55	none
Baan Sandao	8	6M to 55M THB	93,200 to 126,700; penthouse 244,400	38 to 62	14000027
Mykonos	3	5.5M to 10M THB	105,800 to 118,200	50	HC245, HC244
La Casita	1	5.9M THB	111,300	50	none
Flame Tree Residence	1	3.3M THB	76,700	45	HC299

Per-sqm figures are rounded to the nearest hundred baht. The quota column matters because a foreigner can own a Thai condominium unit outright only while foreigners together hold no more than 49% of the building’s unit floor space, under section 19 bis of the Condominium Act (the Condominium Act’s foreign ownership sections in English). A unit recorded Foreign Quota is one our listing records as registered under the building’s foreign quota, which normally lets it pass to a foreign buyer without using new quota; confirm that on the title deed. Most units here are recorded Thai/Foreign Quota instead and can go to a foreign buyer only if the building still has foreign quota left on the day of transfer, so ask for that in writing before paying a deposit. The same Act asks a foreign buyer to show where the purchase money came from, normally by proving it was brought into Thailand in foreign currency, and our article on what foreigners can own by the beach in Thailand goes further. If you would rather buy new than resale, our guide to new condos in Hua Hin looks at what Blue Whale and VEHHA cost.

The fee column is the cost that outlives the purchase. At InterContinental’s 100 THB, the 51 sqm of HC305 cost 5,100 THB a month; at Baan Sandao, the same 51 sqm in HC310 cost 2,550 THB. Our guide to common area fees in Thailand looks at what owners actually pay.

Town centre or Khao Takiab: which suits you?

The buildings in this guide sell one thing before the view, which is that you can walk. Market Village is across the road from Baan Sandao and about 200 metres from Baan San Ploen. Khao Takiab, the headland at the southern end of Hua Hin Beach (Hua Hin district on Wikipedia), is the other half of the choice, further from the shops. Going south is not automatically cheaper, and our comparison of the Autumn, Sanctuary, Summer and Seacraze condos covers the buildings on the road towards it. If you want to reach Market Village on foot, the buildings in this guide are the ones to look at.

Marvest, in the older part of town on Petchkasem Road, has a guide of its own, and so does Veranda Residence, which stands on the sand at Khao Takiab. Our guide to Hua Hin’s neighbourhoods sets the town against the rest of the district. What we say here about quota and ownership is general information rather than legal advice, and a lawyer should check the title and the quota position of the unit you choose. The prices are asking prices and they move, so each listing page carries the current figure.

Walk to town, or wake up on the sand?

Every condo we list in Hua Hin is in one search, with the current asking price on each listing. Start there, or see every property we tag as a beach property.

On Naresdamri Road, between the fishing pier and the Chao Mae Thap Thim Shrine, the town is clearing buildings from the beach under demolition orders the courts have upheld; our report on the Hua Hin waterfront demolition explains what is coming down and when.

If you are buying one of these as a foreigner, our guide to buying a condo in Hua Hin explains the foreign quota, how the money has to come in and what the transfer costs.
