The condominium Paradise Ocean View, located in North Pattaya, Naklua area, was completed in 2014. Today, it is a fully occupied property on the secondary real estate market — a compact beachfront complex with sea views, targeting tourists and budget investors.
The project is indeed located a few meters from the beach, and its infinity pool extends toward the sea. However, the building is over 11 years old, requiring careful inspection of its technical condition before purchase.
Current Condition (2025)
According to FazWaz and DDproperty, key considerations include:
- Technical condition: potential wear of elevators, plumbing, and sewage systems;
- Sinking Fund: check balance and contribution schedule;
- HOA Management: average service quality; complaints about cleaning and maintenance;
- Facilities: pool, parking, security — functional but unchanged since 2014;
- Proximity to sea: both an advantage and a risk — high humidity may affect interiors.
No ESG certification, solar panels, or smart home tech.
Resale Prices (2025)
Average resale prices:
- Studio (28–32 m²): 2.2 – 2.8 million THB;
- One-bedroom (36–45 m²): 3.3 – 4.0 million THB;
- Two-bedroom (rare): from 5.4 million THB.
Prices are lower than new builds, but require renovation budget (50,000 – 180,000 THB).
Rental & ROI
The complex is popular with short-term tourists:
- Average rent: 7,000 – 12,000 THB/month;
- Annual yield: 5.0–5.7% 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: 44% — rental;
- Russians & CIS: 28% — seasonal base;
- Thais from provinces: 20% — investment;

Pros & Cons

- Direct beach access (~3 meters to water);

- Lower price vs. new developments.
❌ Cons:
- No modern tech or eco-standards;

Outlook 2025–2030
Expected:

- Possible major refurbishment via HOA fund;
- Maintaining status as budget entry-level investment;
- Gradual decline in liquidity as building ages.
"Paradise Ocean View 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."
