Samakee Village: houses in Rawai

Samakee Village: a small Thai-style community in Rawai

Samakee Village is a gated community of just 11 detached houses on Soi Samakee 2 in Rawai. Construction finished in December 2011, so buyers walk into finished homes with a mature garden rather than looking at renderings. The architecture follows a modern Thai style: tall pitched roofs with carved ridges, terracotta tiles and timber balcony rails.

What defines the layout is that the houses form a ring around a shared garden with a swimming pool. The result sits between a private villa and a condominium: each family has its own house and plot, while the pool and green area are shared, so their upkeep does not fall on a single owner. It suits families with children and people relocating to Phuket for the long term who want a quiet setting without being cut off.

The houses

All houses are two storeys and are sold furnished on the resale market. Plots start at 70 square wah, roughly 280 m².

Three bedroom house, 280 to 300 m²

The core layout: three bedrooms, bathrooms, a Western kitchen, a living room, a balcony, a private garden with a seating area and a dedicated parking space. From 10.5M ฿.

Four bedroom house, 200 m²

A version with an extra bedroom and three bathrooms on a plot of about 400 m². Listed at 12.9M ฿.

Facilities

• Shared pool with a jacuzzi and a children's section
• Landscaped communal garden at the centre
• 24-hour security and CCTV
• Parking at every house

All kinds of pets are allowed, which is unusual for gated projects in the south of the island.

The area

Rawai covers the southern tip of Phuket. A large community of foreigners lives here all year, so the area is full of cafes, gyms, yoga studios, markets and supermarkets. Rawai beach is known for its seafood market and longtail boats to nearby islands, while for swimming residents head to Nai Harn, Ya Nui and Kata Noi. Promthep Cape and Sam Ao viewpoint are close by.

Soi Samakee branches off Sai Yuan Road, one of the main streets in the district. There are no loud bars here, yet daily errands take a few minutes by car or scooter. Wiset Road leads north to Chalong Circle and on to Phuket Town.

Buying terms

A foreign buyer registers the house in their own name in the house book, while the land is held on a 30-year registered lease with renewal options or through a Thai company. The process is standard: reservation agreement, deposit, sale and purchase agreement and registration at the Land Office. We confirm current prices and ownership terms before every viewing.
