Ananya Beach Condos, North Pattaya

[mrrobj 1]

Does anybody have any information about this new luxurious Condo complex built in private beachfront area in North Pattaya? It's actually about 5 minutes from Pattaya City.

 

Here is the website?

They are building them in several phases and appear to be completely sold out......

 

Any info will be appreciated.....

Tell you what.....I"ll go down there right now. This place is just 100 meters from my condo.

 

Actually it's right on Wongamat Beach and I love the area although others might not. They had a gorgeous swimming pool right on the beach. Was a hotel but I think it didn't do any business. I have heard the owner of the building did not like the roof so they've been busy over there taking it down and should soon start putting on a new one. There is a second building they have started and the first building has been undergoing very extensive renovation in the conversion from hotel to condominium development.

 

I think you will find that this area is as they claim the most prestigious in the entire Pattaya Area. Already started about one half mile away is a new hotel--shopping complex that will be similar to Big C and other places. And of course there are the Northpoint condos which will be very high dollar but it seems to me Northpoint is off to a very slow start. Not so, the hotel shopping center complex. So if all works out with the condos you are interested in I figure in about two years you will be able to really enjoy the new shopping hotel complex which I've heard will even include movie theaters.

 

More later. Should take me just five minutes to get to their sales office.

Thx Jackcorbett......your reporting was greatly appreciated!

 

I was kind of surprised a lot of Pattaya veterans did not have a lot of information about this area......maybe because it was such a expensive and prestigious area, as you stated.

 

The website indicated that it is very convenient in terms of transportation......and it has a free shuttle that goes to Big C.

 

You indicated, "...Actually it's right on Wongamat Beach and I love the area although others might not....". Why do think others may not like this area?

 

If you are traveling on a bike, how long will it take to reach the Condo from Big C??

 

Again, thx for the info....it was greatly appreciated!

Checked out the sales office and used my digital camera to get a couple of pictures from the brochure I got.

 

The first picture.... has a list of prices for phase 4. My second image, might possibly indicate what this project is going to look like as you view it from the beach.

The first pool is in place and operational already. Behind it is the new building they are constructing whereas the building in the background is the one undergoing renovation from hotel to condos.

 

It's pricey to be sure. However, as shown in the picture, it's smack right on the beach. I'm 200 meters from this beach and the guys who paid for a great view to the West of the ocean might well have someone build right in front of them. In your case this cannot possibly happen. If construction is of prime quality the place should be primo. Definitely worth a look for you.

 

The sales girl said people will be moving in during February, possibly in March. Will that happen? I'd say it's doable.

 

As far as being convenient in terms of transportation---well no, not really. However, the motorbike makes a huge difference and once you get used to the area you might just not want to leave it all that often. Sure there are getting to be more and more baht taxis flying through here but these are all geared up for tourist pricing. That is they are used to all the tourists such as the Koreans and Russians staying at the nearby Long Beach Hotel who are clueless as to what they really should pay. To get on the regular baht bus line where you spend 10 baht (falang price) you need to head up to Naklua Road which is about a kilometer or so East of you. Otherwise you are in for using a baht bus as a taxi at taxi prices, normally 100 baht, except the tourists pay 150 baht so you have to do a little fast talking to get them to recognize your reality.

 

Practically every condo resident here at Wongamat Residence has a motorbike, however and if they don't they have a car. I view my motorbike as absolutely essential.

 

The area in general is Little Germany meaning there's lots of bars that have Germans as their main clientèle. But the German restaurants here are on the whole most definitely lower priced than most restaurants in Central Pattaya. Example in point, my girlfriend and I just rode up on the bike to Naklua Road to try a new spot I had checked out on one of my many walks. 75 baht for the American breakfast and that included orange juice and coffee.

 

Free shuttle from the condos. Well there sure as hell isn't a free shuttle now. As to the future, you would just have to see. Travel time on a bike to Big C? On a good day I can do it in five minutes, but figure on ten at the most. But when they have the new shopping complex and hotel just up the street from you if it is what we think it will be, that will be your Big C. And I can swim from Ayanya to there in just twenty minutes. Figure about 2 years for that to become a reality. And although at first Wongamat Beach might seem a bit remote I can get to a Soi 7 or 8 bar in much less time than someone staying in Jomtien.

 

Hope this helps.
