Siam Oriental Star

Siam Oriental Star is a completed condominium on Pratumnak Hill in Pattaya. Developed by The Siam Oriental Trading Co., Ltd., it was created as the developer’s tenth anniversary project. The single eight-storey building contains 142 residential units.

Most shared facilities are located on the rooftop, including a swimming pool, gym, Finnish sauna, relaxation areas and a landscaped terrace. The project suits buyers looking for a completed condo for personal living, holidays or long-term rental.

Location in Pratumnak

The condominium is positioned between Pratumnak Soi 6 and Soi 7, in a residential part of the hill between Jomtien and South Pattaya. Cafés, restaurants, convenience stores, laundries, massage salons and other daily services are available nearby.

Pratumnak Beach is approximately 1 km away, with the walk normally taking about 15 minutes. Residents also have access to a shuttle service. Buyers comparing other condos in Pattaya should consider Pratumnak’s quieter atmosphere, proximity to the coast and convenient connections to Jomtien and central Pattaya.

Building and Project Layout

Siam Oriental Star consists of one contemporary eight-storey building. The lower level contains the entrance and supporting areas, the main floors accommodate the standard units, and larger penthouses are positioned on the upper level.

The rooftop common area provides panoramic views of the sea, Pratumnak and the surrounding city. Underground parking reduces the number of vehicles around the entrance. As a completed property, the project allows buyers to inspect the actual unit and common areas before purchasing. Other ready properties can be compared in the selection of completed developments in Thailand.

Unit Types and Floor Plans

The official project range includes:

• studios measuring from 21 to 25 m²;
• one-bedroom condos measuring from 27 to 41 m²;
• two-bedroom condos measuring from 42 to 43 m²;
• four penthouses measuring 61.9, 70.56, 72.43 and 72.73 m².

Units include balconies, kitchen areas and completed bathrooms. The contents of a resale property depend on the individual owner. Furniture, appliances, decorative finishes and the condition of the unit should be inspected and recorded in the sale inventory.

Rooftop Pool and Facilities

The rooftop contains a swimming pool, sunbathing area with loungers and umbrellas, fitness room, Finnish sauna and landscaped terrace. The elevated position of the building provides views towards the sea and the surrounding city.

The project also provides two lifts, underground parking, CCTV, 24-hour security and Wi-Fi on each floor. The shared facilities are compact and designed around a single building with 142 units.

Resale Prices and Availability

Current sale prices start from ฿1.39M. The lower part of the market is generally represented by compact studios of approximately 21–25 m². One-bedroom condos vary according to their size, floor, view, condition and ownership quota. Larger units and penthouses occupy the upper price range.

Siam Oriental Star is completed, so most available units are offered by private owners. Sale terms differ between listings: some prices include furniture or transfer expenses, while other costs are calculated separately. Availability, inventory and the seller’s readiness to transfer should be confirmed before paying a reservation deposit.

Ownership and Registration

A condo may be registered under the foreign or Thai ownership quota. A foreign buyer normally requires a unit that remains eligible for personal freehold registration within the condominium quota. The procedure and supporting documents are explained in the guide to property ownership registration in Thailand.

The review should also confirm the registered owner, the seller’s authority, outstanding common fees and the agreed allocation of transfer expenses.

What to Check Before Buying

Before paying a deposit, the buyer should inspect the unit, confirm the registered area and inventory, and test the air conditioners, plumbing, electrical system and appliances. Upper-floor units should also be checked for signs of roof or waterproofing issues.

Legal due diligence covers the title deed, mortgages, court restrictions and other registered obligations. The practical process is covered in the guide on checking property encumbrances in Thailand.

Maintenance and Ownership Costs

The indicative common area maintenance fee is approximately THB 50 per m² per month. It contributes to the operation of the pool, gym, sauna, lifts, security, CCTV, cleaning and general maintenance of the common areas.

The initial sinking-fund contribution was stated at THB 600 per m². For a resale property, this amount has normally already been paid by the first owner. The buyer should still obtain an updated certificate from the condominium juristic office confirming the current maintenance rate and absence of outstanding fees.
