The Last Beachfront Canvas – Patong, Phuket
1. Executive Summary – “Why Now”
This is more than rare; it is the final, flat, build-ready absolute beachfront site on Patong Beach Road, Phuket.
Two adjoining titles totaling 12,260 sqm (8,880 sqm + 3,380 sqm) with dual frontage to both Patong Beach Road and Sawadirak Road.
Why This Moment Matters
Phuket’s Luxury Rebrand: Global hotel groups are repositioning Patong from mass-market tourism toward high-value luxury and lifestyle brands.
Limited Pipeline: Only 4,216 new hotel keys are planned in all of Phuket between 2025–2028, with just 28% in Patong — and no comparable greenfield beachfront sites.
Macro Tailwinds:
Baht weakness gives foreign buyers an immediate currency advantage.
Phuket International Airport is undergoing expansion, boosting regional airlift capacity by 50% over the next 3 years.
ADRs and RevPAR have already exceeded pre-pandemic peaks (+37% ADR, +32% RevPAR).
Position: In the heart of Phuket’s most famous tourist hub.
Potential: World-class hotel, branded residences, luxury retail, or mixed-use landmark.
Final Opportunity: There will never be another undeveloped beachfront parcel of this size and prominence in Patong.
2. Location Advantage
Address: Patong Beach Road, Phuket, Thailand
Directly opposite Patong Beach with unobstructed sea views
1–3 minutes walk to Bangla Road nightlife, luxury shopping, and beachfront dining
40 minutes to Phuket International Airport
Unmatched visibility, foot traffic, and prestige — ideal for premium brand positioning.

9. Competitive Advantage Matrix
10. Final Summary & Call to Action
This is more than a land acquisition — it is the final opportunity to secure an icon site in the most recognised beachfront destination in Phuket.
With 12,260 sqm of flat, build-ready land, dual frontage to Patong Beach Road and Sawadirak Road, and a clear path to Chanote title, this parcel offers a combination of scale, location, and flexibility that will not be repeated.
Market dynamics are at their strongest in over a decade:
ADR and RevPAR exceed pre-pandemic highs by more than 30%
Year-round demand is reinforced by diverse source markets
New greenfield beachfront supply in Patong is non-existent
In the right hands, this site can deliver a flagship 5-star hotel, branded residences, and luxury retail boulevard that defines Patong’s next era. The projected yield profile 9–11% YOC, 15–18% IRR potential sits alongside a scarcity premium that will only appreciate.
The opportunity is rare. The window is now.
