Hua Hin is arguably one of the most beautiful destinations in all of Thailand. In fact, one of the biggest indicators of its reputation is just how popular it is with both Thai nationals and foreign expats alike.
If you have been thinking about moving to Thailand but the thought of living in a big city like Bangkok doesn’t appeal to you, Hua Hin might just be the perfect solution.
In this article, we’re going to focus specifically on condo living in Hua Hin. What are the advantages of living in a condominium? Or would living in a house/villa be better suited to your lifestyle?
Read on and we’ll tell you everything you need to know…
Location is everything
One of the biggest advantages of living in a condo in Hua Hin is the location. Most high-quality condominium developments are built in strategic locations with easy access to all of the amazing amenities that Hua Hin has to offer.
Certainly, living in a house in a quiet neighbourhood has it perks, just as living in a remote hilltop villa sounds nice in theory, however, when it comes to the convenience of being able to access public transport, head to the shops, or find a quiet local restaurant for some lunch, a well-placed condo is a superior choice.
Take the Intercontinental Residences in Hua Hin’s town centre as an example; not only is this brand-new condominium complex located just a short stroll to the beach, but it is within walking distance to all manner of bars, restaurants, and markets.
In-house facilities
And of course, condo living in Hua Hin grants instant access to a wealth of awesome facilities that other property types simply can’t compete with.
Certainly, there are many gorgeous luxury villas that boast sea-view infinity pools, Jacuzzis, saunas, steam rooms, BBQ decking areas, and gyms, however, the price difference is significant. That, and as the property owner you will be responsible for maintaining your private facilities which can be expensive indeed.
On the other hand, luxury condos like Ocas Hua Hin in Bo Fai have everything from shared swimming pools to a fitness studio, gardens, BBQ areas, on-premise restaurants, and more – all of which are maintained on your behalf.
Can you imagine being able to eat in a fancy restaurant without even having to leave the comfort of your own building?
Yes, houses and villas can afford you a lot more privacy, however, if you don’t mind sharing facilities with other people, condos living in Hua Hin can provide a truly spectacular lifestyle.
Family-friendly
One common concern that families with children have is whether a condo living in Hua Hin is suitable for them. Yes, having a garden of your own certainly has its benefits, particularly when you have small children, however, the right condo can be perfect for families.
The La Habana Hua Hin in Khao Ta Kiab is a great example; not only is the condominium packed with all of the in-house facilities that anyone could ask for (pool, gym, garden, etc.), but they have a playground and kid’s play area as well.
And the best part? With 24-hour security and CCTV throughout, you can rest assured that your children will be completely safe as long as they remain on the grounds of the condominium. They’ll even be able to socialise and mix with other children while they splash around in the pool or tear their way around the playground.
This, coupled with the strategic location of many reputable condominiums make condo living in Hua Hin well-suited to families. You’ll find no shortage of world-class international schools within reach of your accommodation!
Sought-after real estate
Hua Hin has long been one of the most popular tourist destinations in Thailand and that is not subject to change any time soon. As such, owning a quality condo in a reputable development that is located right on the beach is a huge advantage – particularly if you want to move around the world.
For example; you can easily rent a condo out as a holiday home and earn passive income while you aren’t staying in it. If you find a prime spot such as the Veyla Cha-Am Residences, you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding holidaymakers who can look after it in your absence. After all, who wouldn’t want to spend their vacation in a beachfront condo with rolling views of the Gulf of Thailand?
In most cases, the building management can even help flip and clean the property in between tenants to ensure that the unit is well looked after (for a % of course). This gives you the freedom and flexibility to move around as you please while still making some money off your investments. Not bad eh?
Security
As briefly touched on earlier, condo living in Hua Hin is one of the most secure ways of living. Yes, living in a house or a villa has its lifestyle benefits and may be the preferred option for some people, however, your security is then placed in your hands.
In a condo however, you’ll have round the clock manned security, 24/7 CCTV throughout, and key card access. In other words, you’ll never have a sleepless night worrying about someone trying to break into your home and steal your belongings.
Conclusion
All in all, we’d argue that a condo living in Hua Hin is one of the best accommodation options available. It offers the ideal balance of affordability, location, security, amenities, and in-house facilities.
