In 2025, the legendary project Baan Dusit Pattaya Lake, known as the 'Russian Village', has long been fully built and occupied. Located in the scenic Huai Yai area, 15 km from central Pattaya, this complex has become one of the most recognizable expat communities in Thailand, especially among Russian-speaking residents.
The project was developed by Dusit Pattaya Co. between 2016 and 2020. Today, it is a closed residential community with over 300 homes, not a construction site.
What Happened to the 'Russian Village'?
Today, Baan Dusit Pattaya Lake is a successful private community with developed infrastructure:
- 24/7 security and CCTV;
- Public park with playground, fitness, and BBQ zones;
- Jogging and cycling paths;
- High-speed Internet and IPTV (including Russian-language channels);
- Active community with clubs, events, and language meetups.
Resale Market Prices 2025
Since no new homes are being built here, all transactions are on the resale market. Prices have risen 2–3 times since handover:
- Single-story homes (106 m²): from 7.2M THB (plot 240 m²);
- Two-story villas (211 m²): from 11.5M THB;
- Villas with private pools: from 15M THB.
This means investments from 2019–2020 have yielded 150–200% returns.
