# Property in Na Jomtien and Bang Saray, Pattaya Source: https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/areas/pattaya/na-jomtien Updated: 2026-11-14 Publisher: Thailand Property Investor (Omnia Capital Group) Na Jomtien and Bang Saray run south of Jomtien along Sukhumvit Road towards Sattahip, with Ocean Marina, the yacht harbour, between them. The beaches are quieter, the buildings lower and U-Tapao is about 30 minutes away. It suits owners who want calm and a boat more than city life. Hospitals and large shops are a drive north, and in a small market resale is slow. ## Key facts - Airport: about 30 minutes to U-Tapao (UTP) - Coast: Gulf of Thailand - Coordinates (longitude, latitude): 100.91, 12.81 - Best for: Boat owners using Ocean Marina; Quiet beach homes for long stays; Owners who put calm before city life Na Jomtien and Bang Saray are the quiet southern end of [Pattaya](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/areas/pattaya): a run of beaches between Sukhumvit Road and the sea, from Ocean Marina down to a fishing village known for its seafood restaurants. Asking prices sit below the central beachfront, U-Tapao is about 30 minutes away, and the yacht harbour is on the doorstep. It suits owners who want calm and a boat more than nightlife, and who will drive for shops and hospitals. The market is small, so resale is slow. ## What it is like to live there Na Jomtien is quiet, with fewer facilities and beaches made for rest. Bang Saray is a fishing community well away from the city's shops and traffic, and people come here to escape the congestion. The beaches follow one another south: Na Jomtien, Ban Amphur, then Bang Saray, with resort hotels, low-rise condominiums and villa estates behind them. Ocean Marina Yacht Club, open since 1995, is the reason many owners choose the area. It is a full-service yacht harbour, with its marine services in one place. Families use Columbia Pictures Aquaverse, the water park beside Sukhumvit Road. Inland, the Buddha image carved into the hillside at Khao Chi Chan and the Silverlake vineyard are the local landmarks, and Phoenix Gold golf course is close by. For a private hospital, an international school or a large supermarket, you drive north into the city. ## The property on offer and what it costs The stock is mixed: condominiums near the beaches and around the marina, resort villas, and house estates on the inland side of Sukhumvit Road. In May 2021 Na Jomtien held 8% of Pattaya's condominium supply and Bang Saray 1%, against 44% in neighbouring [Jomtien](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/areas/pattaya/jomtien). Larger developers have noticed the land, and new condominium projects are expected here. Treat that as a sign of where development is heading, not as a reason to pay more today. Condominiums are freehold for foreigners within each building's [foreign quota](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/guides/condominium-foreign-quota). Villas and houses are bought on a registered lease, because foreigners cannot own land: see [buying a villa in Thailand](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/guides/buying-a-villa-in-thailand) and [freehold vs leasehold](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/guides/freehold-vs-leasehold). ## Who buys and why Boat owners, for the marina. Long-stay Europeans and retirees who want a beach without the crowds of the city centre. Bangkok families buying a weekend flat. The case here is use first and income second. ## Rental demand Tenants are mostly seasonal: winter visitors in the cool months who want quiet and a pool. The pool of tenants is smaller than in Jomtien or the city centre, so units can sit empty between seasons. Base your plan on comparable monthly lets nearby, not on a developer's projection, and read [rental yields in Thailand](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/guides/rental-yields-in-thailand). 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 U-Tapao is about 30 to 35 minutes by car from Ban Amphur and about 30 minutes from Bang Saray, some 26 km from the Na Jomtien beachfront. Suvarnabhumi is about an hour and a half from either. Everything runs off Sukhumvit Road, so plan on a car. See [flights and getting around](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/living/flights-and-getting-around). ## What to watch for Distance is the daily cost: hospitals, schools and the large shops are all in the city. Liquidity is the financial one. Between them, Na Jomtien and Bang Saray held 9% of Pattaya's condominium stock in 2021, so fewer buyers look here and a resale can take time. Buy something you would be content to keep. Check what can be built next door, too. Land is still available and new projects are expected, so a sea view from a second-row building is not secure. If you want more services and a deeper resale market, compare [Jomtien](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/areas/pattaya/jomtien). For a pool villa with a garden, see [East Pattaya](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/areas/pattaya/east-pattaya). ## What to weigh - Private hospitals, international schools and large shops are in Pattaya proper, so daily life depends on a car. - The market is small. Na Jomtien held 8% of Pattaya's condominium supply in 2021 and Bang Saray 1%, so a resale can take time. - Land is still available and new condominium projects are expected in Na Jomtien, so a sea view from a second-row building is not secure. - Villas and houses are leasehold for foreign buyers, which narrows the resale market further. ## Questions ### Where does Na Jomtien end and Bang Saray begin? Na Jomtien starts south of Jomtien Beach and runs past Ocean Marina and Ban Amphur. Bang Saray, a fishing village with seafood restaurants, lies further south on Pattaya's southern border, towards Sattahip. ### How far is Na Jomtien from U-Tapao airport? About 30 to 35 minutes by car from Ban Amphur and about 30 from Bang Saray. Suvarnabhumi is about an hour and a half away. ### Can I keep a boat at Ocean Marina? Ocean Marina Yacht Club, established in 1995, is a full-service yacht harbour in Na Jomtien. Berth availability and fees are set by the marina, so confirm them before you buy on the strength of it. ### Is Na Jomtien a good place to let a condominium? For monthly and seasonal lets to tenants who want quiet, it can be. The tenant pool is smaller than in Jomtien or the city centre, so base your plan on comparable lets nearby, not on a developer's projection. ## Sources - [Knight Frank Thailand, Pattaya Condominium Market Overview, May 2021](https://content.knightfrank.com/research/1666/documents/en/pattaya-condominium-market-2018-thailand-2021-9299.pdf) - [The Nation, Big surge in demand for condos expected in Pattaya and EEC areas (Colliers Thailand data), 26 December 2024](https://www.nationthailand.com/business/property/40044533) - [St Andrews International School Green Valley, Living on the Eastern Seaboard (travel times by area)](https://www.standrewsgreenvalley.com/?p=197) - [Ocean Marina Yacht Club](https://www.oceanmarinayachtclub.com/) - [Mövenpick Siam Hotel Na Jomtien Pattaya, location](https://movenpick.accor.com/en/asia/thailand/pattaya/moevenpick-siam-hotel-na-jomtien-pattaya/location.html) - [Wikipedia, Pattaya (city boundaries, road distances)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattaya) - [OpenStreetMap, coordinates of named places](https://www.openstreetmap.org/)
