COMPLETION

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Kata Plaza is a small completed condominium in the Kata area on Phuket's west coast, handed over in 2010. With around 20 units, it sits at the boutique, low-density end of the Kata market rather than among the larger resort towers, which gives the building a quiet, low-rise residential character suited to owners who want a manageable Phuket base close to the beach without the scale of a big development.

Kata itself is one of the island's established west-coast beach zones, immediately south of Karon. It is built around two bays: Kata Beach (Kata Yai), the wide main bay popular for family swimming and a May-to-October surf swell, and the smaller, quieter Kata Noi cove beyond the southern headland. The Kata Plaza is positioned within a short distance of the Kata strip, where the restaurants, cafes, dive shops and the Kata Night Market cluster, and the well-known Karon Viewpoint that frames the three-bay panorama is a short drive away.

As a small, fully completed building, The Kata Plaza appeals to buyers who prefer to inspect an exact unit in an established community before purchasing, with no construction risk. The compact unit count means availability here is intermittent and comes from the resale market rather than a developer sales office, so each opportunity reflects an individual owner releasing a unit.

Foreign buyers can hold apartments in a Thai condominium as freehold within the building's 49% foreign-ownership quota under the Condominium Act; once that quota is reached, remaining units are typically available through a Thai-company structure or a registered leasehold. This is the standard, well-understood route for international condo buyers across the Kata-Karon corridor.

The Kata Plaza tends to suit lifestyle and surf-oriented second-home buyers who want a small, quiet, walkable base near Kata Beach, as well as buyers attracted to the short-let and hotel-managed rental patterns common to the Kata zone.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

The Kata Plaza — buyer FAQ

Can a foreigner buy a condo at The Kata Plaza?

Yes. As a unit in a Thai condominium, an apartment at The Kata Plaza can be held by a foreign buyer as freehold within the building's 49% foreign-ownership quota under the Condominium Act. When that quota is full, remaining units are usually available through a Thai-company structure or a registered leasehold instead.

How far is The Kata Plaza from Kata Beach?

The Kata Plaza sits within a short distance of Kata Beach (Kata Yai), the main west-coast bay known for family swimming and a seasonal surf swell. The quieter Kata Noi cove lies just beyond the southern headland, and the Karon Viewpoint overlooking all three bays is a short drive from the building.

Is The Kata Plaza completed or off-plan?

The Kata Plaza is fully completed, having been handed over in 2010. It is an established, occupied low-rise condominium of around 20 units. Buyers can inspect the exact apartment in person before committing, with no construction risk, and any available units come from the resale market ready for occupation.

Who is the developer of The Kata Plaza?

The original developer of The Kata Plaza is not publicly disclosed in our records. Because the building was completed in 2010 and is now an established condominium, current availability comes from individual owners reselling their units rather than from a developer sales office offering new stock.

Who does The Kata Plaza suit best?

It suits lifestyle and surf-oriented second-home buyers who want a small, quiet, walkable base close to Kata Beach, plus buyers drawn to the short-let and hotel-managed rental patterns common in the Kata zone. The compact, completed building fits those seeking simplicity over the scale of a large resort development.
