Blue Lagoon and Cha-Am’s Beach Condos Compared

Blue Lagoon is one of the condominium names searched most often between Hua Hin and Cha-Am, and its prices show what the corridor offers: space. We list eight two-bedroom units there, from 7.9M THB to 9.875M THB, about 52,700 to 66,700 THB per square metre, while the typical condo we list in Hua Hin asks close to 100,000 THB a metre. This page compares the buildings people ask about: Blue Lagoon, Cha-am Grand Condotel, Sandy Beach, Cliff & Beach, Springfield Beach, Lumpini Park Beach and Energy Seaside. Between them we list 23 units, from 2.6M THB to 16.7M THB.

How is Cha-Am different from Hua Hin?

Cha-Am is a separate town in a different province: a district in the south of Phetchaburi, while Hua Hin, about 27 km to the south, belongs to Prachuap Khiri Khan, although together they form one continuous stretch of coast (Wikipedia, Cha-am district). The boundary matters because zoning is planned province by province, so Hua Hin’s 2042 province plan does not reach a condo in Cha-Am. The roads are shared: the highway upgrade between Cha-Am and Hua Hin and the Thailand Riviera coastal road serve both towns.

Many condos between the two towns carry both names on our listings. Leaving aside units also offered for rent, we list 59 condos tagged Cha-Am, and 42 of them are tagged Hua Hin as well, so the two counts overlap. Here, only Blue Lagoon and two of the four Sandy Beach units carry both tags; the other five buildings are tagged Cha-Am only. Everything we list in the town is on our Cha-Am property page.

What does a Blue Lagoon condo cost?

The eight units we list at this resort-style condominium, all gathered on the Blue Lagoon project page, are nearly interchangeable on paper: two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 148 sqm, except the top-floor HC115 at 150 sqm. The unit listings give 2009 as the year built while the project page gives 2007, so confirm the building’s age with the juristic office. The two cheapest ask 7.9M THB, HC406 at about 53,400 THB per sqm and HC115 at about 52,700. HC139 and 4154375 ask 8.9M THB and HC393 9.5M THB. On the ground floor, HC295 and HC277 are 8.77M THB each, both reduced from 10.5M THB, and HC290 is the most expensive unit at 9.875M THB, about 66,700 THB per sqm.

Quota separates these units more than the floor plan does. Only 4154375 and HC393 are recorded on the foreign quota, so a foreign buyer of either takes over space already counted in the building’s foreign share. The other six are offered on either quota, and registering one in a foreign name depends on how much foreign space remains, because the Condominium Act caps foreign ownership at 49 per cent of the total unit floor area of each building (Thaiger). Ask the juristic office about the six before paying a deposit, and ask whether a tenancy runs with the two foreign-quota units, which are also listed for rent.

Blue Lagoon’s fee is the highest on this page: 55 or 57 THB per sqm a month on most units, about 8,140 to 8,550 THB, while HC277 lists 9,740 THB a month and HC290 122,000 THB a year, about 66 and 69 THB per sqm. Our guide to common area fees in Thailand explains which accounts to ask for. What the resort lacks is the sea on its doorstep: all eight listings record views of the pool, garden and greenery and none records a sea view; all are tagged near the beach and two also beachfront, so walk the route to the sand on a viewing.

Which Cha-Am buildings face the beach?

Cha-am Grand Condotel, Sandy Beach and Cliff & Beach are tagged beachfront and record a sea view on every unit we list, as do Springfield Beach and Lumpini Park Beach below. For which stretches of the coast are genuinely on the sand, see our guide to beachfront property in Hua Hin.

The Grand Condotel offers the clearest value here. HC407, a high-floor two-bedroom of 170 sqm on the foreign quota, asks 7.9M THB, the same as HC406 at Blue Lagoon, for 22 more square metres, a sea view and a fee of 24 THB per sqm, about 4,080 THB a month against HC406’s 8,140 THB. HC388 is a three-bedroom of the same size at 10.2M THB, and the 209 sqm three-bedrooms are HC397, a hot deal at 10.5M THB, and HC165 at 12M THB. Two cautions apply: our listings give the year built as 2008 for three units and 1995 for HC397, so settle the real age with the juristic office; and condotel describes a management arrangement rather than a form of title, so ask what the unit is and whether a rental programme applies.

Sandy Beach is the first exception to the Cha-Am discount. Its units date from 1994 and pay 30 THB per sqm, yet they ask about 79,000 to 102,500 THB per sqm. The two one-bedrooms are identical on paper at 62 sqm, HC123 at 4.9M THB and 14000041 at 6.0M THB. HC123 is offered on either quota, while 14000041’s listing records the foreign quota, which may explain part of the gap; confirm it with the juristic office. The two-bedrooms are 6278088, 128 sqm on the foreign quota, reduced from 14.35M THB to 12.9M THB, and HC122, 163 sqm at 16.7M THB.

HC292, our only unit at Cliff & Beach, is a three-bedroom of 159 sqm built in 1996 and reduced from 15.9M THB to 14.9M THB. Its fee of 20 THB per sqm is the lowest rate on this page, about 3,180 THB a month, and at about 93,700 THB per sqm it prices its beachfront much as Sandy Beach does.

Springfield Beach, Lumpini Park Beach and Energy Seaside: what do you get?

Springfield Beach (2009), Lumpini Park Beach (2016) and Energy Seaside (2017) show how far unit size moves the price per metre. HC304 at Springfield Beach Condominium is a 160 sqm three-bedroom recorded on the foreign quota, reduced from 16.49M THB to 13M THB, or 81,250 THB per sqm. Its fee is 45 THB per sqm, about 7,200 THB a month.

Lumpini Park Beach has the smallest units here, and since October the cheapest. HC418 and HC419 are one-bedroom corner units of 38 sqm on the foreign quota at 2.6M THB each, about 68,400 THB per sqm, with a fee of 50 THB per sqm, about 1,900 THB a month; their listings give 2015 as the year built, against 2016 on the building’s other two. Those two, 4550462 at 6.65M THB and 5183438 at 6.9M THB, are both 57 sqm, both recorded with two bedrooms, both on the foreign quota and both also offered for rent, at about 116,700 and 121,100 THB per sqm, above the Hua Hin median, although the same fee comes to only about 2,850 THB a month. Before letting one, read our guide to rental income in Hua Hin.

HC260 at Energy Seaside is the cheapest two-bedroom on this page: 64 sqm on the foreign quota, reduced from 3.2M THB to 2.95M THB, about 46,100 THB per sqm, with a fee of 3,200 THB a month. The listing is tagged beachfront, but the unit records a city view rather than a sea view, so check which way it faces.

What does a Cha-Am condo cost against one in Hua Hin?

Those 59 condos tagged Cha-Am run from 2.6M THB for a 38 sqm one-bedroom at Lumpini Park Beach (HC418 and HC419) to 30M THB for a three-bedroom at Baan Thew Talay Aquamarine (HC306), with a median of 7.9M THB. The 168 condos tagged Hua Hin have a median of 8.2M THB, so the typical Cha-Am condo is barely cheaper to buy. The difference is space: a median of 60,526 THB per sqm against 99,917 THB, about 40 per cent lower.

Building	Units	Price (THB)	Size (sqm)	THB per sqm	Fee (THB/sqm/month)	Built
Blue Lagoon	8	7.9M–9.875M	148–150	52,700–66,700	55–69	2009 (project page 2007)
Cha-am Grand Condotel	4	7.9M–12M	170–209	46,500–60,000	22–25	2008 (one 1995)
Sandy Beach	4	4.9M–16.7M	62–163	79,000–102,500	30	1994
Cliff & Beach	1	14.9M	159	93,700	20	1996
Springfield Beach	1	13M	160	81,250	45	2009
Lumpini Park Beach	4	2.6M–6.9M	38–57	68,400–121,100	50	2015–2016
Energy Seaside	1	2.95M	64	46,100	50	2017

Most of the discount sits in the big apartments at Blue Lagoon and the Grand Condotel, of 148 to 209 sqm; the 57 sqm units at Lumpini Park Beach cost more per metre than the Hua Hin median, Sandy Beach is priced like Hua Hin, and the small exceptions are the 64 sqm Energy Seaside unit and the two 38 sqm units at Lumpini Park Beach. What Cha-Am offers is less a cheap condo than a large one, and the fee decides how cheap it stays. Baan Chaan Talay, a beachfront building not compared above, shows why a quota label needs checking: HC417, a 225 sqm four-bedroom with a private pool asking 16.0M THB, is recorded as Thai Quota, while HC376, a three-bedroom of the same 225 sqm asking 20.9M THB, is recorded as Thai/Foreign. The foreign share is counted across the whole building, so ask the juristic office which applies before relying on either. Our guide to buying a condo in Hua Hin as a foreigner explains the labels.

Who should buy in Cha-Am?

Cha-Am suits a buyer who wants space for the money and is content to drive into Hua Hin for restaurants and shops. A couple planning long winters can have a three-bedroom beach apartment at the Grand Condotel from 10.2M THB, with a fee low enough to carry through the months away. Blue Lagoon suits someone who prefers a pool and garden to a sea view. Golfers should read our guide to Palm Hills, the estate on the boundary between the towns, and our course-by-course golf guide for Springfield Royal at Cha-Am.

A buyer who wants to walk to Hua Hin’s town beach should compare Baan Sandao and the town beach condos, and one after a view should read our sea-view property guide. The Boathouse, another corridor building tagged with both towns, has its own guide.

Prices, sizes and fees come from our listings on 27 September 2026 and can change; each listing page carries the current figure. This page is general information, not legal advice, and a Thai property lawyer should check the title and quota of any unit before you sign.
