Autumn, The Sanctuary, Summer and Seacraze are four low-rise condominiums on the road that runs south from Hua Hin towards Khao Takiab. The nine units we list across the four buildings differ on four things a buyer can check before viewing: which floor, how large, what the building charges each month, and whether the unit can be registered to a foreigner. The lowest-priced of the nine is a 44 sqm Seacraze flat at 2,700,000 THB, which a foreign buyer cannot take; the highest is a 120 sqm Sanctuary three-bedroom at 11,980,000 THB.
Where are these four buildings, and what do they share?
All four stand in Nong Kae, the sub-district south of the town centre, on or just off the Nong Kae to Khao Takiab road that runs parallel to the beach. Autumn, The Sanctuary and Seacraze are close neighbours at the Khao Takiab end of that road, while Summer stands about two kilometres further north, 230 metres from Amari Residences on PropertyHub’s map of Summer Hua Hin. Portals place them roughly 200 to 500 metres from the beach (Summer on DDproperty, Autumn on Home in Hua Hin), and our listings describe all four as near the beach rather than beachfront. For a unit on the sand, see our guide to beachfront property in Hua Hin.
All four were completed between 2012 and 2014, none rises above eight storeys, and every listing records a pool, a fitness room, lifts and round-the-clock security. Seven of the nine units on this page also sit below 99,917 THB, the median price per square metre across the 168 Hua Hin condos we list for sale only. Our overview of Khao Takiab for condo buyers describes the area around them.
Autumn: why are two 64 sqm flats 2,290,000 THB apart?
Autumn Hua Hin is a Sansiri development of two seven-storey buildings holding 192 units, designed in a beach-cottage style (Autumn on FazWaz). Our two units there make the clearest case on this page for looking past the building name. Both are 64 sqm with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, both are dated 2014 in our listings, and both can be registered on either quota. The ground-floor unit, HC395, is marked as a hot deal at 4,700,000 THB, about 73,400 THB per sqm, and looks out over the garden. The top-floor unit, HC101, has been reduced from 7,500,000 THB to 6,990,000 THB, about 109,200 THB per sqm, and its listing records sea, golf-fairway, mountain and pool views; our guide to golf course property in Hua Hin lists it with the other town condos that look towards the Sea Pines course.
Most of the 2,290,000 THB between them is height and outlook at the same size, and the ground-floor flat is the cheapest two-bedroom on this page per square metre. A buyer who wants the sea from the balcony pays for it here; a buyer who plans to let the unit should ask whether the view would lift the rent enough to repay the difference, and our page on rental income in Hua Hin sets out what condos return. Autumn also carries the highest fee of the four, 60 THB per sqm a month, so either flat pays 3,840 THB a month whatever its floor. The Autumn project page has the building’s photographs.
Summer: the smaller Sansiri building
Summer Hua Hin is Autumn’s smaller sibling from Sansiri, a single seven-storey building of 150 units (Summer on FazWaz) that our listings date to 2014. The same portal lists a shuttle bus to the beach among its facilities.
Both Summer units we list are on the foreign quota, so a foreign buyer does not depend on room left in the building’s share. The 41 sqm one-bedroom, 30000014, is 3,100,000 THB, about 75,600 THB per sqm, and it is the lowest-priced unit on this page open to a foreign buyer. The 70 sqm two-bedroom, 30000013, is 5,829,000 THB, about 83,300 THB per sqm. Both are fully furnished with garden views, and the fee of 45 THB per sqm a month comes to 1,845 THB for the smaller flat and 3,150 THB for the larger. The Summer project page holds the building details.
The Sanctuary: larger units, higher price
The Sanctuary is a single eight-storey building of 92 residential units by Daika Estate, the developer also behind The Pine, with its recreation area and pool on the top floor (The Sanctuary on FazWaz). We list a 90 sqm two-bedroom, HC377, at 9,400,000 THB, about 104,400 THB per sqm, and a 120 sqm three-bedroom corner unit, HC358, at 11,980,000 THB, about 99,800 THB per sqm. Our listings date both to 2014, and both pay 45 THB per sqm a month, which is 4,050 THB and 5,400 THB respectively.
The smaller flat costs more per square metre than the larger one, even though the larger records sea, golf-fairway and mountain views while the smaller lists a city view. The listings do not say why, but they do record a quota difference. HC377 is registered on the foreign quota, so a foreign buyer takes over a unit already counted within the building’s foreign share. HC358 is offered on either quota, and a foreign buyer of it depends on the building still having room within its 49 per cent. A buyer here should ask whether the building still has foreign quota and weigh the answer against the extra room and the view. The Sanctuary project page has the full gallery.
Seacraze: what does the oldest of the four offer?
Seacraze, completed by LHM Property Group in 2012, is both the oldest and the largest of the four: four seven-storey buildings and 272 units with a 60-metre pool (The Seacraze on Lazudi). It charges the lowest fee on this page, 40 THB per sqm a month.
The 44 sqm one-bedroom, 4784753, is a hot deal at 2,700,000 THB, about 61,400 THB per sqm and the cheapest square metre on this page, but it is on the Thai quota, which means a foreign buyer cannot take it. The 50 sqm one-bedroom, 3980732, at 3,300,000 THB or 66,000 THB per sqm, is offered on either quota and is therefore the Seacraze entry point for a foreign buyer. The 76 sqm top-floor two-bedroom, 20000098, is 6,200,000 THB, about 81,600 THB per sqm, on the foreign quota and sold unfurnished with a pool view. Both one-bedroom units are also listed for rent, which lets a buyer live in the building before committing to it. The Seacraze project page has more on the grounds.
How do the four compare on age, size, fees and price?
| Building | Built (per listing) | Fee (THB/sqm/month) | Size | Asking price (THB) | THB per sqm | Quota |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Autumn | 2014 | 60 | 64 sqm, ground floor (HC395) | 4,700,000 | 73,400 | Thai/Foreign |
| Autumn | 2014 | 60 | 64 sqm, top floor (HC101) | 6,990,000 | 109,200 | Thai/Foreign |
| Summer | 2014 | 45 | 41 sqm (30000014) | 3,100,000 | 75,600 | Foreign |
| Summer | 2014 | 45 | 70 sqm (30000013) | 5,829,000 | 83,300 | Foreign |
| The Sanctuary | 2014 | 45 | 90 sqm (HC377) | 9,400,000 | 104,400 | Foreign |
| The Sanctuary | 2014 | 45 | 120 sqm (HC358) | 11,980,000 | 99,800 | Thai/Foreign |
| Seacraze | 2012 | 40 | 44 sqm (4784753) | 2,700,000 | 61,400 | Thai |
| Seacraze | 2012 | 40 | 50 sqm (3980732) | 3,300,000 | 66,000 | Thai/Foreign |
| Seacraze | 2012 | 40 | 76 sqm, top floor (20000098) | 6,200,000 | 81,600 | Foreign |
Read down the per-square-metre column and the unit matters more than the building. After Seacraze’s 50 sqm flat at 66,000 THB, the cheapest square metre a foreign buyer can take, the ground-floor Autumn flat, both Summer units and the Seacraze top floor sit close together between 73,400 and 83,300 THB. Only the 90 sqm Sanctuary unit and the top-floor Autumn flat stand above the Hua Hin median of 99,917 THB.
The fee column matters over years of ownership. At 60 THB per sqm, a 64 sqm Autumn flat pays 46,080 THB a year, while the 76 sqm Seacraze flat at 40 THB pays 36,480 THB, despite being the larger of the two. Our explainer on common area fees in Thailand covers what the fee pays for.
The quota column is the one to read first if you are not Thai. Foreign ownership in any building is capped at 49 per cent of the total area of its units, and our guide to new condos in Hua Hin explains how that share is counted and how the purchase money must reach Thailand. In our listings, Foreign means the unit is already inside that share, Thai/Foreign means it can go to either kind of buyer while the building has room, and Thai means it is for a Thai buyer. This is general information rather than legal advice, and a buyer should have a lawyer confirm the quota position of a specific unit with the building’s management before paying a deposit.
The Pine, Jamchuree and Amari: the neighbours with their own pages
The Pine, completed in 2017 by The Sanctuary’s developer, is the choice for larger units, with the three we list there running from 148 to 160 sqm and from 14,900,000 to 18,990,000 THB. At Jamchuree, our 135 sqm corner unit, HC390, is in a building from 1999, older than any of the four above, and costs 13,900,000 THB. Amari Residences, a short walk from Summer, has its own Amari Residences Hua Hin guide.
If these four are on your list, the question to settle is less which building than which unit, and a unit’s quota can decide whether you may buy it at all. For the other end of the beach, our look at Baan Sandao and Hua Hin’s town beach condos covers the buildings nearer the centre, and our page on sea-view property in Hua Hin shows what a view adds to the price.
