Studio Apartment for sale at The Emerald Terrace complex · Patong · Pool View

Ownership is leasehold (registration and renewal terms should be confirmed with the developer). Patong's STR yield environment runs 9–12% gross annually, though net returns (after OTA commissions, CAM fees, housekeeping, and a 25–30% vacancy band) typically settle at 3.5–5.5%. Occupancy across Patong averages 70–80% year-round, declining to ~65% after accounting for cancellation rates. Critical: verify the building's juristic-person house rules do not restrict short-term rentals. The Hotel Act B.E. 2547 permits sub-30-day lettings, but enforcement actions in 2024–2025 have targeted non-licensed buildings; compliance and licensing terms should be clarified before purchase. Studio units like this dominate Patong's Airbnb and OTA inventory, ensuring consistent demand from repeat visitors and regional first-time foreign buyers.

Suits pure-yield STR investors with a 3–5 year horizon, not owner-occupiers or family buyers. Patong's oversaturation (717+ listings at time of writing) requires active management selection; however, completed buildings with established guest-review histories and transparent CAM structures offer more predictable income than pre-completion projects.
