C-View Residence is a mid-rise condominium on Pratumnak Hill, one of Pattaya's more established rental and resale neighbourhoods — close enough to Beach Road and Jomtien to reach either in minutes, but far enough up the hill to avoid the noise of Central Pattaya. It's a straightforward, well-run building rather than a flashy new launch, which is exactly why it keeps showing up in both our rental and resale catalogues.
Who It Suits
C-View Residence works best for two kinds of buyers: long-term renters who want a reliable, mid-budget studio close to both Jomtien and Pattaya proper, and investors after a low-entry-price unit with a track record of steady rental demand rather than speculative upside. It's not a luxury address, and it doesn't try to be — it's a solid, unglamorous condo that does what it's supposed to do.
Rental yield in Pratumnak
Studios here have a strong track record with long-term renters thanks to the low entry price and steady demand from the Jomtien/Pratumnak corridor — a lower-risk, lower-upside profile compared to newer, larger developments nearby.

Pratumnak: the district and what's nearby
Pratumnak is the hillside district between central Pattaya and Jomtien — quieter than the centre, close to the sea, and one of the more established residential areas for foreign buyers.
The area, in short
- Quiet, hillside setting away from the busiest tourist strips
- Close to the sea — most buildings are a short walk from a beach entrance
- One of the more established expat and long-stay rental markets in Pattaya
- Good spread of restaurants, cafes and everyday amenities
- Central Pattaya and Walking Street are a short drive away when you want them
Worth knowing
- Hilly terrain — some buildings involve stairs or steep short walks
- Narrow sois and limited street parking in places
- Shopping malls and hypermarkets are a few kilometres away, not walkable
- Hot season (April–May) is noticeably warmer on south-facing slopes

Taxes and fees when buying in Thailand
Standard costs for any foreign buyer purchasing a condominium unit in Thailand — the same structure applies across Pratumnak.
| Transfer fee | 2% of registered price | Typically split or negotiated, buyer usually pays |
| Specific Business Tax | 3.3% of price (if seller owned < 5 years) | Seller (by law), often negotiated |
| Stamp duty | 0.5% of price (instead of SBT if exempt) | Seller |
| Withholding tax | 1% of appraised value (company) or progressive (individual) | Seller |
| Legal / due diligence fees | Typically 15,000–30,000 THB | Buyer |
Thailand does not tax foreign-sourced rental income remitted from abroad the same way it taxes Thai-sourced income — but rules changed in 2024 and depend on your personal tax residency. Get current advice from a Thai tax lawyer before relying on any specific figure.
How to buy as a foreigner
The purchase process is standard for Thailand and can largely be done remotely.
- Reserve the unitA reservation deposit (typically 50,000–100,000 THB) takes the unit off the market while due diligence and contracts are prepared.
- Due diligenceA lawyer verifies the title (Chanote), confirms the building's foreign-ownership quota has room, and checks for debts or liens on the unit.
- Sign the sale & purchase agreementPrice, payment schedule and transfer date are set in writing. Can be signed remotely and couriered if you're not in Thailand.
- Transfer funds from abroadForeign buyers must bring the purchase funds into Thailand in foreign currency and get a Foreign Exchange Transaction (FET) form from the receiving bank — required to register foreign ownership.
- Transfer at the Land OfficeBoth parties (or their representatives with power of attorney) complete the transfer and pay transfer fees/taxes at the local Land Department office.

Frequently asked questions
What are the unit prices at C-View Residence?
Studios (27-30 sqm) have sold from ฿1.35M-1.4M, and 1-bedroom units (40-45 sqm) from around ฿1.65M up to ฿2.0M, depending on floor and view.
Does C-View Residence have foreign-quota units?
Yes — Foreign Quota (FQ) units are available, allowing non-Thai buyers to hold the title directly in their own name.
What amenities does the building have?
A rooftop lap pool with sea-facing loungers, a small gym, and a sundeck.
Can a foreigner legally own a condo unit in Thailand?
Yes. Foreigners can hold freehold title to a condominium unit directly in their own name, as long as the building's foreign-ownership quota (capped at 49% of total saleable area) still has room. Your name is registered on the Chanote, the official title deed.
What is a Chanote?
A Chanote is Thailand's strongest form of land/unit title deed, issued and guaranteed by the Land Department. For a condo, each unit has its own Chanote — when you buy, the deed is re-issued in your name at the Land Office.
What is a Foreign Exchange Transaction (FET) form and why does it matter?
It's a form your Thai bank issues confirming that your purchase funds arrived from abroad in foreign currency. The Land Department requires it to register a unit as foreign-owned freehold — without it, the transfer can't be registered in your name.
Can I get a mortgage as a foreigner buying in Thailand?
Thai banks rarely lend to foreign buyers, and when they do it's usually at higher rates and shorter terms than domestic mortgages. Most foreign buyers pay in cash, though some developers or sellers offer instalment plans directly — worth asking about case by case.
Is my deposit safe during the purchase process?
It should be held by a licensed lawyer or in an escrow arrangement specified in the sale & purchase agreement, released to the seller only on completion. Always confirm in writing how and where your deposit is held before transferring anything.
How long does the whole purchase process take?
For a straightforward resale unit, typically 3-6 weeks from reservation to registered transfer, depending on how quickly documents and funds move. Off-plan or FEC-dependent purchases can take longer.
Can I complete the purchase entirely remotely, without visiting Thailand?
Yes, in most cases. Contracts can be signed and couriered, funds sent by international wire transfer, and a lawyer with power of attorney can attend the Land Office transfer on your behalf.
Do I need my own lawyer, or does the agency handle everything?
You should have independent legal representation — a lawyer who works for you, not the seller or the agency, to verify the title, check the ownership quota, and handle the transfer. Apartwell can recommend vetted lawyers, but the relationship and fee are directly between you and them.
