9 Karat Condo (9 กะรัต คอนโด)

9 Karat Condo is located on Arunothai 2, Pattaya City, Bang Lamung, Chonburi 20150. This is a high-rise condominium in Central Pattaya, with convenient access to Pattaya Sai 3 Road, Sukhumvit Road, shopping areas, restaurants, and city facilities. The project was completed around 1995 and was developed by 9 Karat Pattaya. It is considered one of the established residential towers in this neighborhood.

The project consists of 1 building with 30 floors and approximately 560 residential units. Unit types generally include studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom layouts, with a range of usable sizes suitable for both owner-occupiers and rental investment. Parking is available for residents based on the project allocation.

Common facilities typically include a swimming pool, fitness room, garden area, lobby, passenger lifts, and some on-site retail spaces. Security systems include security guards, CCTV, and controlled building access. The property is managed by the condominium juristic person, which oversees common area maintenance and building operations.

A key advantage of 9 Karat Condo is its central Pattaya location, offering practical access to Central Pattaya, hospitals, local markets, and everyday amenities. For a nearby comparison, see The Riviera Ocean Drive.

9 Karat Condo on Arunothai 2, central Pattaya, is positioned as an affordable, rental-driven condominium. Demand is supported by long-stay tenants working in hospitality and service businesses nearby, so pricing tends to be steadier than new beachfront projects such as Copacabana Beach Jomtien or The Riviera Ocean Drive, where price per sq.m. is materially higher.

• 2026 resale price: Studio 28-32 sq.m. typically THB 1.55-1.85M, equivalent to about THB 55,000-62,000/sq.m.
• Average rent: 12-month lease around THB 8,500-10,000/month (fully furnished units rent faster and hold rate better).

Rental yield (quick math): Assume purchase at THB 1.70M and rent at THB 9,500/month. Annual rent = 9,500 x 12 = 114,000. Yield = 114,000/1,700,000 = 6.7% (gross, before common fees and taxes). This is attractive for central Pattaya stock.

Capital gain outlook: With a relatively low price base, upside is more gradual than explosive. A realistic expectation is 2-4% per year over the next 1-3 years, supported by tourism normalization and resale liquidity for budget units. Investors improve odds by targeting entry below THB 58,000/sq.m. or units with renovated interiors to widen the resale margin.
