Andamaya Surin Baycondos in Surin, Phuket

Andamaya Surin Bay is a boutique condominium by Thai Project Co. on a hillside above Surin Bay, Phuket, close to Surin Beach — the nearest points the catalogue records are under a kilometre away, several of them beaches. The building was completed and handed over in the fourth quarter of 2021, so this is finished, standing stock, not a plan on paper.

Bedroom count does not track size here at all: the two-bedroom band runs from 88.8 to 142.2 m², the three-bedroom band from 132.8 to 404.7 m², and the two actually overlap between 132.8 and 142.2 m² — a two-bedroom unit can be larger than the smallest three-bedroom one. At the extremes, the largest unit, a three-bedroom at 404.7 m², is close to six times the smallest, a one-bedroom at 68.7 m². Room count alone tells a buyer almost nothing about what they are getting; the area has to be checked unit by unit.

If you are going to live here

Surin's hillside setting puts the beach, restaurants and everyday shops within a short walk rather than a drive, and the building itself already stands, so there is no handover date to wait on and no construction dust to live through. Because bedroom count and size are only loosely connected here, a family choosing a two-bedroom unit could end up with more space than a couple in a three-bedroom one — checking the actual square metres matters more than the room label. The shared 26-metre pool, sea-facing gym and round-the-clock security with a private access road are already in place and already tested, not promised.

If you are buying to let

A finished building removes the biggest uncertainty in a rental plan: what you see is what a tenant would get, today, not on a future handover date. Surin's pull for both long-stay residents and holidaymakers works across this project's whole size range, from a 68.7 m² one-bedroom to a 404.7 m² three-bedroom, so the same address can reach a solo or couple tenant and a large family or group depending on which unit is bought. The catalogue does not record a rental programme or management company for this project, so a buyer should arrange letting independently, though the building's existing pool, gym and security already give a manager something to work with.

If you are holding for capital growth

This is a completed, already-handed-over building, not an off-plan project: the construction-stage gain that a buyer elsewhere is still waiting for has already been taken here, and letting or occupying a unit can start immediately rather than after a future handover. What is left to weigh is the resale market itself — Surin's hillside position above an established beach has held demand for years by this point, and the boutique scale of the building, with only a handful of units at each bedroom count, keeps the resale pool naturally small and easier to track.
