It had the highest condominium sales rate on the coast, 96% in mid-2022, with recent seafront projects asking about THB 150,000 per sqm. It suits buyers who want a sea view and a quieter beach close to town. Suvarnabhumi is about three hours by road, and most buyers are Thai. ## Key facts - Airport: about 180 minutes to Suvarnabhumi (BKK) - Coast: Gulf of Thailand - Coordinates (longitude, latitude): 99.972, 12.52 - Best for: Sea-view condominiums close to Hua Hin town; Long winter stays; Weekend homes for Bangkok-based buyers Khao Takiab is the southern end of [Hua Hin](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/areas/hua-hin), where the town beach runs out at a small headland with a temple on top and a fishing pier at its foot. It is condominium country. The Khao Takiab zone had the highest condominium sales rate on the coast in mid-2022, 96%, with recent seafront projects asking about THB 150,000 per sqm. It suits buyers who want a sea view and a quieter beach, with Hua Hin town a short drive north. ## What it is like to live there The hill is the landmark. North of it, the beach runs back towards town past low-rise condominiums and hotels. South of it lies the beach at Suan Son Pradipat, and beyond that the coast continues towards Khao Tao. Daily life runs along Phetkasem Road. Cicada Market, the Vana Nava water park and the Bluport mall are all a few minutes' drive away, and Bangkok Hospital Hua Hin is in town. Pineapple Valley golf course lies inland to the south-west, and the larger Hua Hin courses are a short drive. For the weather through the year, see [climate and seasons](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/living/climate-and-seasons). ## The property on offer and what it costs Condominiums lead the market. Khao Takiab held 13% of the coast's condominium supply in mid-2022, with 96% of its units sold. Recent seafront projects were asking about THB 150,000 per sqm, against about THB 69,800 for units without a sea view across the whole coast from Cha-am to Khao Tao. Unlike central Hua Hin, Khao Takiab still has seafront land to build on. A new high-rise with sea views has been planned beside the Vana Nava water park, and you should expect any new beachfront project to price above THB 150,000 per sqm. Development now extends across the railway towards Khao Tao, which widens the choice for middle-income buyers. Condominiums are freehold within each building's [foreign quota](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/guides/condominium-foreign-quota). Houses and villas inland are leasehold for foreign buyers: see [buying a villa in Thailand](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/guides/buying-a-villa-in-thailand). ## Who buys and why Bangkok families, mostly. Bangkok residents made up more than 90% of condominium buyers on this coast in 2022, and foreigners about 5%. Foreign owners tend to come for the winter: Scandinavians typically stay for one to three months. Buyers over 50 often use the [retirement visa](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/visas/retirement-visa). ## Rental demand Demand comes in two rhythms: Friday to Sunday from Bangkok all year, and whole-season lets to northern Europeans in the cool months. Between them, a unit can sit empty. Build your case on occupancy you can evidence, using the [rental yield calculator](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/tools/rental-yield-calculator). Lets of under 30 days need a hotel licence; see [short-term rental rules](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/guides/short-term-rental-rules). ## Getting there and around Khao Takiab is about three hours by road from Suvarnabhumi and about 2.5 hours from central Bangkok. Hua Hin Airport, north of town, has no international flights. Locally you will want a car. See [flights and getting around](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/living/flights-and-getting-around). ## What to watch for Views first. Seafront land is still available here, so check what is zoned and planned in front of any unit for which you pay a sea-view price. Then liquidity: buyers on this coast are mostly Thai and price-sensitive, and demand is strongest below THB 100,000 per sqm, so expensive units resell slowly. Finally, check where a project really is. [Cha-am](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/areas/hua-hin/cha-am), up the coast, carries most of the area's unsold stock and is often sold under the Hua Hin name. [Pranburi](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/areas/hua-hin/pranburi) lies to the south. ## What to weigh - Seafront land is still available in the Khao Takiab zone, so a sea view from an existing building can be built out. - More than 90% of condominium buyers on this coast were Bangkok residents in 2022, so weekday occupancy is thin and resale depends on Thai demand. - Demand is strongest below THB 100,000 per sqm, so expensive sea-view units take longer to sell. - There is no international air service nearby. Hua Hin Airport has no international flights, and Suvarnabhumi is about three hours by road. ## Questions ### What does a sea-view condominium in Khao Takiab cost?
