Karon & Kata property for sale
The south-west coast. Karon is a wide, long beach; Kata behind it is smaller and popular with surfers during the rainy season. Both are resort areas: hotels, restaurants, evening life. Patong is ten minutes away but noticeably noisier. Apartments here are most often bought to rent out — the tourist flow is steady.
Best for rental investment beside popular beaches.

The area has both completed homes and projects under construction. A ready home can be lived in or rented out straight away; off-plan means a lower entry price and instalments until handover, but the developer’s track record matters more.

Buying property in Karon and Kata: FAQ
Can a foreigner buy property in Karon and Kata?
An apartment — yes, within a condominium’s freehold quota (49% of the building’s area). A foreigner cannot own the land under a villa outright: it is held on a long lease (leasehold) or through a Thai company. We review the structure of each project before any deposit.
Can I pay in instalments?
For projects under construction, yes: payment is usually split into stages until handover, and each developer sets its own schedule. We send the schedule together with the price list.
Are the prices on the site current?
Prices and unit availability change weekly, and developer price lists are not public. We keep ours updated and send the live version on request, together with layouts and instalment terms.
