Sirinthara: villas in Rawai

Sirinthara: Thai classics for lovers of timber and space

Sirinthara is an intimate project of only five villas just off Sai Yuan Road in Rawai. Construction was completed in December 2006. The villas follow a Thai resort style: steep tiered roofs with curled ridges, white walls, balconies with carved details, sculptures and a gong by the pool.

What separates Sirinthara from the newer villas in the area is obvious as soon as you step inside. Modern Rawai projects favour concrete and glass minimalism, whereas here the interiors are built from teak and warm timber: coffered ceilings, built-in cabinetry and panelling, wooden floors in the bedrooms and terracotta tiles in the living room. It is a choice for people who like the feel of a traditional Thai home rather than yet another white box. With five houses in total there are few neighbours, and plots are bigger than in most new developments.

The villas

All homes are sold fully furnished on the resale market. Each villa has its own large pool in front, along with a garden, barbecue area and covered parking.

Four bedroom villa, 335 to 340 m²

Two floors, a great room with living and dining areas, a separate kitchen with a breakfast bar, four bedrooms and four or five bathrooms, some with a jacuzzi tub. Plots range from 512 to 800 m². Prices run from 15M ฿ to 20M ฿ depending on land size and condition.

Facilities

• Private pool at every villa
• Garden and barbecue area
• Covered parking
• 24-hour security and CCTV
• Wi-Fi and furniture throughout

There are no shared amenities such as a club pool or gym: life happens on your own plot, which is exactly why people buy villas like these.

The area

Sai Yuan Road and the lanes around it are among the most practical parts of Rawai for year-round living, with shops, restaurants, coffee places and mini-marts. Rawai, Nai Harn and Ya Nui beaches are a short drive away. Boats leave Chalong pier for Koh Hae, Racha, Koh Khai, Maiton and Phi Phi. The road to Chalong Circle connects to the rest of the island and the airport.

Buying terms

A foreign buyer registers the house in their own name, while the land is held on a 30-year lease with renewal options or controlled through a Thai company. The deal follows standard steps: reservation and deposit, sale and purchase agreement, registration at the Land Office. For villas of this age a technical survey of the roof, pool and building systems is worth ordering first.
