Baan Mai Khai Phuket condominium is considered to be Sansiri’s flagship for Phuket’s market for its premier location and unrivalled package quality taking hold of world-classed architectural and interior designs that set itself on a whole different level from any of prior projects done by Sansiri in both Bangkok and Phuket. It lies to the north of Phuket by the beach called Mai Khao and only 15 minutes from Phuket International Airport. The beach it lives down by is tranquil and quiet which best serves as a great retreat and are in the vicinity of other beachfront prestigious condos including Sala Phuket, Renaissance, and Anantara. This condo is a rare offering that faces the beach without any road in-between. More importantly, Baan Mai Khao won the nomination for Phuket’s 2014 Best Condominium at Thailand Property Award 2014.

A low rise condo project that comprehends 6 of 3-storey buildings and 3 of 5-storey buildings has a seaside frontage 70-metre wide and offers an unbroken, clear sea-view for being extremely close to Mai Khao beach. Also being a freehold condo, it is as good as free of competition or at least just faces a minimal amount because most other nearby projects are leasehold. Baan Mai Khao Phuket is also built with quality materials promising the packages that go beyond satisfaction. All units are offered for the desirable prices that are rare and odd sufficiently to catch any buyer by surprise when taking into account its premier spot in Phuket and everything about it. The total of 6 penthouses that are the most expensive units of Baan Mai Khao, are all now sold out for some time.

The buildings ranging from A to C and G to I are all located on the front part of the project area, while the remaining buildings are set on the back. Building A, B, C, G, H and I have 3 storeys and 1 passenger lift each. And Building D, E and F have 5-storeys and have 2 lifts each. Each condo building has a 70-m wide frontage from one side to the other, facing the pool (in either south or north direction depending on the unit location). All units are situated in such a way as to receive minimal outside lights into their rooms to prevent from absorbing heat but lose the luxury of conveniently watching the sunrise and sunset. The parking is located at Building E. There are buggies available for picking up and dropping off the residents.

Map

Baan Mai Khao is excellently located within approximately 15 minutes without traffic of Phuket International Airport, a comprehensive airdrome handling more than 20 daily arriving flights by several airlines. It’s estimated that any airline that flies from Bangkok to Phuket will require an average flight time of 1 hour and 20 minutes to do so. Phuket International Airport also partnered with international airlines that allow overseas tourists to fly straight from their home to Phuket. For those who travel abroad regularly, living at Baan Mai Khao is a great choice for them for that convenience. Nevertheless, it’s situated by Mai Khao Beach so it’s still quite far from Phuket Town and Patong Beach. Though many of fine-dining restaurants, 5-star hotel eating houses, and street joints, are all in the neck of the woods.

Summary

For personal point of view, both Thais and overseas buyers and investors alike could the make the most of the units at Baan Mai Khao for either temporary settlement of renting it out when it’s not being occupied. The low-rise condo is worth the praise from those looking for a premium beachside resort with A level quality. Though, it’s priced almost as much as Bt 200,000/sq.m.
