Sands Condominium is a single 27-storey tower on Pratamnak Hill, a short walk from Pratamnak Beach. It is one of the newer high-rises on this side of the hill and it is built to a different brief from most of its neighbours: fewer, larger apartments rather than a high count of compact investor units. The one-bedroom layouts here start above 50 sq.m, which is well above what most nearby towers offer under the same label.
It suits buyers who want space and a near-beach position on Pratamnak without moving to a house, and who are comfortable in a building where the apartments are the main event rather than the facilities list. For how it compares with the other towers on the hill, see our Pratamnak Hill area guide.
Project Overview
Sands Condominium is a single building of 27 floors. The developer is recorded on most portals as Pratumnak Sands Co., Ltd. Beyond that, published project data is less consistent than it should be and it is worth setting out plainly rather than picking a figure and presenting it as settled.
Completion is given as 2017 by some sources and March 2019 by others. The unit count is recorded as 283 on some portals and 286 on others, with two further sources quoting much lower numbers that look more like listing counts than project totals. The building height of 27 floors is the one structural fact every source agrees on.
- Developer: Pratumnak Sands Co., Ltd
- Completion: sources disagree — 2017 or March 2019
- Buildings: one
- Floors: 27
- Total units: sources disagree — 283 or 286
- Address: Soi Pratumnak 5, Nong Prue, Bang Lamung, Chon Buri — street number recorded variously as 362, 362/10 and 363
- Pets: not permitted unless specifically approved by the juristic office
There is an active juristic office with its own website, which describes itself as the official building management and not a rental agency. For a building where the public data is this inconsistent, that is the place to confirm anything that matters to your decision.
Location
Sands sits on Soi Pratumnak 5 in Nong Prue, on Pratamnak Hill. One portal files the project under Na Kluea, which does not fit the Pratamnak location every other source gives, and one lists the soi as Pratumnak 6 rather than 5. Treat the soi number as worth confirming before you set off to view.
Pratamnak sits between central Pattaya and Jomtien, so both are a few minutes away by road while the hill itself stays residential. Convenience stores, pharmacies and small restaurants are spread along the hill roads, with fuller shopping down towards Second Road and Jomtien Beach Road. The Pattaya property developments directory covers how this compares with the other areas around the city.
Distance to the Beach
Pratamnak Beach is the nearest sand. Portals give the distance as 0.2 km, and one source puts the building at 150 metres from the sea. Others simply describe it as next to Pratamnak Beach. The figures are close enough to each other to be treated as consistent: this is a short walk, not a drive.
That is unusual for a tower of this size on the hill and it is the main practical advantage of the address. One source reports unobscured direct sea views from the third floor upwards; we have only seen that stated in one place, so treat it as a claim to check on the viewing rather than a settled fact. Aspect and floor decide the view in any Pratamnak building.
Facilities
Recorded facilities include a communal swimming pool and a rooftop swimming pool, a fitness centre, a sauna, a steam room, a jacuzzi, a rooftop terrace, an on-site restaurant and pool bar, a shop on the premises, a lobby with reception, communal gardens, car parking, passenger and service lifts, Wi-Fi in the common areas, key-card access, CCTV and 24-hour security.
Not every source lists every item, and the rooftop terrace and pool bar in particular appear on some portals and not others. A building of this age should present well on a walk-round, so judge the facilities on what is actually operating when you visit.
Unit Types
The unit mix is the reason to look at Sands. Three sources agree on the following bands:
- Studio — roughly 23.25 to 34.45 sq.m
- One-bedroom — roughly 52.02 to 67.22 sq.m
- Two- and three-bedroom — roughly 123 to 175 sq.m
One portal gives a much narrower overall range of 26 to 73 sq.m, which does not reconcile with the others and appears to reflect only the units it has listed rather than the project. The one-bedroom band is the striking one: a 52 to 67 sq.m one-bedroom is a genuinely generous apartment by Pattaya standards. Confirm the registered area against the title deed for the specific unit.
Current Sale Listings
Dynasty Real Estate currently has one unit at Sands Condominium listed for sale.
- Sands Condominium two-bedroom, 109 sq.m, 27th floor — top floor of the building
Ask us to confirm the foreign-quota position on this unit before you go further. Foreign freehold in any Thai condominium is capped at 49% of saleable area and is allocated unit by unit, so the juristic office record is the only confirmation worth having.
Current Rental Listings
We also have one Sands unit available to rent.
At 59 sq.m this sits in the middle of the one-bedroom band and gives a fair sense of what the layouts here are like. Ask us for current terms and minimum lease length.
Foreign Ownership Quota at Sands Condominium
Foreign freehold ownership in any Thai condominium is capped by law at 49% of the building’s saleable floor area, with the remaining 51% held in Thai quota. A foreign buyer can take a Thai quota unit only through a Thai company structure or a registered leasehold, and both routes need proper legal advice rather than an agent’s assurance.
We do not publish a quota position for Sands, because it moves as units change hands and any figure would be out of date by the time you read it. The quota on the individual unit must be confirmed in writing with the juristic office before a deposit is paid. Our guide to foreign condo ownership in Pattaya sets out how the cap works and what the alternatives are.
Alongside quota, check the outstanding common area fees on the unit, the sinking fund position and any special levy resolved at a recent general meeting.
Nearby Schools
There is no international school on Pratamnak Hill itself. The schools families in this part of Pattaya use are all a drive, and journey times depend heavily on traffic on Thappraya and Sukhumvit, so ask the school for a current time from Soi Pratumnak 5 rather than relying on a map estimate.
- Regents International School Pattaya
- Ecole Francaise Internationale de Pattaya
- Mooltripakdee International School, south towards Na Jomtien
- St Andrews International School Green Valley, Huay Yai
- Tara Pattana International School, Naklua
Most of these run a bus service. Confirm the route covers this part of the hill before committing to an address, because coverage on the hill roads is not uniform.
Nearby Shopping
Pratamnak is residential, so day-to-day shopping means convenience stores, pharmacies and small supermarkets along the hill roads. Anything larger is a few minutes off the hill in either direction.
South towards Jomtien you have Jomtien Night Market, Thepprasit Night Market and Outlet Mall Pattaya on Sukhumvit. North towards central Pattaya are Royal Garden Plaza and the Tukcom electronics centre in South Pattaya, Central Festival Pattaya Beach on Beach Road, and further up Terminal 21 Pattaya on the corner of Second Road and North Pattaya Road, with Central Marina about 500 metres to its south.
Nearby Attractions
Pratamnak Beach is a short walk away and Cosy Beach is round the hill. Big Buddha Hill, Wat Phra Yai, is on Pratamnak itself and is the best-known landmark in the area, with views over the bay from the temple terrace.
Bali Hai Pier, where the Koh Larn ferries leave, and Walking Street are a short drive north at the foot of the hill. Jomtien Beach and Dongtan Beach are a few minutes south. Further out, Pattaya Floating Market on Sukhumvit, the Sanctuary of Truth in Naklua and Nong Nooch Tropical Garden south of the city are the usual day trips.
