The condominium Modus Beachfront, located in Naklua, Pattaya, was completed in 2018. Today, it is a fully occupied property on the secondary real estate market — a compact 7-story complex with sea views and proximity to the Sanctuary of Truth, targeting budget investors and tourists.
The project does offer panoramic views of the Gulf of Thailand, and some units have direct sightlines to the Sanctuary of Truth (Wat Phra Uttama Putthathaat). However, most apartments are at an angle, and views are limited.
Current Condition (2025)
According to FazWaz and DDproperty, key considerations include:
- Technical condition: potential wear of elevators, plumbing, and electrical systems;
- Sinking Fund: check balance and contribution schedule;
- HOA Management: average service quality; complaints about cleaning and maintenance;
- Rooftop restaurant: operated in early years, now functions sporadically;
- Proximity to road: possible traffic noise.
No ESG certification, solar panels, or smart home tech.
Resale Prices (2025)
Average resale prices:
- Studio (25–30 m²): 2.3 – 2.9 million THB;
- One-bedroom (35–45 m²): 3.4 – 4.1 million THB;
- Two-bedroom (rare): from 5.6 million THB.
Prices are lower than new builds, but require renovation budget (50,000 – 150,000 THB).
Rental & ROI
The complex is popular with short-term tourists:
- Average rent: 7,000 – 11,000 THB/month;
- Annual yield: 5.1–5.8% at full occupancy;
- Management: can be rented via Airbnb, Booking.com, or local agent.
High season (Nov–Apr) generates up to 70% of income.
Who Buys Today?
Demand structure (per REIC):
- Local investors: 45% — rental;
- Russians & CIS: 26% — seasonal base;
- Thais from provinces: 21% — investment;
- LTR residents: less than 4% — prefer modern projects.

❌ Cons:

Outlook 2025–2030
Expected:

- Gradual decline in liquidity as building ages.
"Modus Beachfront is an entry point, not a destination," said DDproperty analyst Sirasak Wongsa. "It suits those looking for a simple way into Pattaya’s market, but not for long-term living."
