Northpoint Pattaya Review 2026: Raimon Land Naklua Flagship
Northpoint Pattaya review covers the Raimon Land twin 54-storey Naklua flagship, 376 units, 146k THB/sqm benchmark, foreign quota, and 2026 resale market.
Is Northpoint Pattaya worth buying in 2026?
Northpoint Pattaya is Raimon Land’s flagship twin 54-storey Naklua beachfront tower, completed December 2009 with 376 units spanning studios to 177 sqm 3-bedrooms, currently trading at an average ~146,000 THB per sqm in 2026 (a 93% premium over the broader Bang Lamung average) with unit asking prices from 6.8 million THB for refurbished smaller layouts up to 200 million THB for the largest penthouses (Raimon Land 2026; FazWaz Q1 2026; Cushman & Wakefield Q1 2026). Foreign quota is typically limited because international buyers absorbed the foreign-name allocation in the 2009-2015 cycle — 2026 buyers should expect occasional foreign-quota resale availability concentrated in the larger 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom layouts, with Thai-quota + registered lease as the practical alternative.
For context: this is Raimon Land’s premium Pattaya title and the pricing anchor for Naklua beachfront. Unit sizes are materially larger than 2014-2016 Wongamat competitors, which partially justifies the per-sqm premium. Benchmark against Zire Wongamat (Raimon Land’s later Pattaya project), The Palm Wongamat, and the Wongamat area page.

What makes Northpoint a pricing anchor for Naklua
Northpoint’s 2009 delivery predates the premium Wongamat supply wave by 4-6 years, which created the rare situation where the “older” building commands the highest per-sqm pricing in the subzone. Three factors explain it.
Unit-size generosity. Studios at Northpoint are 50-52 sqm — larger than the 32-38 sqm studio sizes typical in 2014-2016 Wongamat stock. The 65-73 sqm 1-bedroom is materially larger than the 45-55 sqm 1-bedroom stock at Zire Wongamat or The Palm. For owner-occupier buyers comparing like-for-like usable area, Northpoint’s sqm generosity narrows the per-sqm pricing gap versus newer towers.
Raimon Land brand and building management. Raimon Land is SET-listed and runs one of the strongest Pattaya premium track records. Northpoint is managed by Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), an international commercial real-estate services firm — rare for Pattaya residential buildings, which typically rely on local juristic-person management. JLL operational discipline, building-level budgeting, and enforcement of bylaws support higher resale values.
Naklua subzone scarcity. Naklua has fewer premium beachfront towers than Wongamat. The subzone’s quieter Thai-residential character limits new-build supply, which caps premium-tier price pressure. Northpoint’s beachfront position on Soi Naklua 18/1 sits in the strongest pocket of the subzone.
The counterweight: Northpoint’s facility vintage reflects 2009 design. The sea-facing pool and gym are high-quality but not at the scale of 2024-2026 newer launches with rooftop sky pools, onsen, and co-working. Buyers prioritising newest-tier amenities over unit-size generosity should benchmark Northpoint against newer Wongamat competitors.
- Studio (50–52 sqm) 12.00M THB (4.2%)
- 1BR (65–73 sqm) 22.00M THB (7.6%)
- 2BR (102–105 sqm) 55.00M THB (19.0%)
- 3BR / penthouse (129–177 sqm) 200.00M THB (69.2%)
Location, beach, and drive-time anchors
Northpoint sits on Soi Naklua 18/1, directly on the Wongamat/Naklua beach interface. The beach frontage is part of the wider Wongamat sand but the building’s address and local character sit firmly in Na Kluea.
Walking and drive-time anchors:
- Direct beachfront. Private residents’ access to Wongamat/Naklua sand.
- Terminal 21 Pattaya: 10-12 minutes by car.
- Central Festival Pattaya and Pattaya Walking Street: 12-18 minutes by car.
- Bangkok Hospital Pattaya: 12-15 minutes by car.
- Sanctuary of Truth and Naklua Fishing Market: 3-5 minutes by car.
- Mimosa Pattaya and Silverlake Vineyard: 30-40 minutes by car.
- Suvarnabhumi Airport: 1h20-1h40 by expressway.
- U-Tapao International Airport: 40-50 minutes by car.
For broader area context see the Naklua area page and Wongamat area page.
Unit mix, floor plans, and layout strengths
Northpoint’s unit mix skews to the premium and family segments. The studio-to-3-bedroom layout range with 50-177 sqm unit sizes is broader than most Pattaya competitors.
- Studio 50-52 sqm. These are functional owner-occupier or long-stay layouts — materially larger than the typical 32-38 sqm Pattaya studio. Sea-view stacks trade at a premium.
- 1-bedroom 65-73 sqm. The building’s workhorse. Separate bedroom, full living area, and balcony with sea or partial-sea view. This layout absorbs the bulk of long-let rental demand.
- 2-bedroom 102-105 sqm. Family-sized Pattaya stock, rare at this location. Typically two bathrooms, full kitchen, and substantial balcony. Foreign-quota resale concentrates here.
- 3-bedroom 129-177 sqm. Premium layouts, often corner stacks with dual-sea-view aspects. The largest 177 sqm units approach small-penthouse proportions. These command the top end of the per-sqm pricing range (up to 250,000-280,000 THB per sqm).
Delivery standard on original units was fully furnished. After 15+ years of occupation, unit condition varies sharply — buyers should inspect each specific unit for refurbishment level, aircon age, bathroom and kitchen renovations, and balcony-facade weathering. The due diligence checklist covers inspection priorities.
Facilities and building management
Northpoint’s facility set reflects premium 2009 design:
- Seafront swimming pool. Large multi-section pool at podium level with sea-aspect deck and water-slide element — distinctive for its era.
- Fully equipped gym. Mid-scale by 2026 standards but well maintained.
- Sauna and jacuzzi.
- Grill zones and BBQ terraces.
- Concierge service.
- Covered parking at a ~72% ratio — tighter than newer towers, but adequate for the 376-unit count.
- 24-hour security with CCTV and keycard access.
- Lobby lounge and formal reception.
Building management by Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) is the operational differentiator. JLL’s Pattaya residential mandates are limited — Northpoint is one of the few — and the international-standard management delivery supports building-level governance, bylaws enforcement, and capex-cycle discipline. Common area maintenance (CAM) fees at Northpoint run ~60 THB per sqm per month, which places the 1-bedroom CAM bill at roughly 4,000-4,400 THB per month and the 2-bedroom at 6,200-6,300 THB per month. See the condo maintenance fees guide for the wider Pattaya CAM framework.
2026 pricing, foreign quota, and payment structure
Q1 2026 secondary-market pricing ranges:
- Studio (50-52 sqm): 6.8-11 million THB, ~135,000-210,000 THB per sqm.
- 1-bedroom (65-73 sqm): 10-18 million THB, ~140,000-230,000 THB per sqm.
- 2-bedroom (102-105 sqm): 16-35 million THB, ~160,000-280,000 THB per sqm.
- 3-bedroom (129-177 sqm): 25-60 million THB, ~180,000-280,000 THB per sqm.
- Premium penthouse layouts: up to 200 million THB.
(Directional figures — FazWaz, Hipflat, Pattaya Prestige Properties Q1 2026. Actual transaction prices vary meaningfully with floor, stack, sea-view quality, refurbishment status, and foreign/Thai quota.)
Foreign quota. Northpoint’s 49% foreign allocation absorbed early in the 2009-2015 cycle. 2026 foreign-quota availability is typically limited — often 2-6 units at any time, concentrated in larger 2- and 3-bedroom stacks. Buyers who need foreign freehold should budget patience and be prepared to pay a 5-15% premium over comparable Thai-quota units. Thai-quota + 30-year registered lease is the common alternative for foreign buyers who can’t wait for a foreign-quota resale.
Transfer costs run at the standard Thailand schedule: 2% transfer fee (Land Department), 0.5% stamp duty, 1% withholding tax (if applicable), plus specific business tax variations. The transfer fees and taxes guide details the full cost stack. The condo resale guide covers negotiation dynamics for 15-year-old premium stock.
Rental performance and yield
Northpoint’s rental performance reflects its premium positioning and older build vintage. Long-let rents hold up at:
- Studio (50-52 sqm, refurbished): 35,000-50,000 THB per month.
- 1-bedroom (65-73 sqm): 45,000-75,000 THB per month.
- 2-bedroom (102-105 sqm): 80,000-140,000 THB per month.
- 3-bedroom (129-177 sqm): 120,000-250,000 THB per month.
Gross long-let yields sit in the 4.5-6.5% range on 2026 asking prices — lower than newer Jomtien or Central Pattaya stock because the pricing numerator is higher. Occupancy for well-managed units runs 85-95% across long-let tenancies. Short-stay operation is feasible under the 30-day-minimum Hotel Act structure — the JLL management regime historically enforces this strictly, so nightly-portal listings are not feasible. See the Airbnb Thailand legal guide.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Raimon Land SET-listed developer with premium Pattaya track record.
- JLL building management — rare operational discipline for Pattaya residential.
- Unit sizes 30-50% larger than 2014-2016 Wongamat competitors.
- Direct beachfront on the strongest pocket of Naklua.
- Building quality has held up well at the 15+ year mark.
- Resale liquidity is steady with disciplined asking prices.
Cons
- Foreign quota typically limited — extended search often required.
- Per-sqm asking prices at the top of the Pattaya range (up to 280,000 THB/sqm on premium stacks).
- 2009 facility vintage lacks newer amenities (no sky pool, no onsen, modest co-working).
- 15+ year-old units require careful inspection and budgeting for refurbishment.
- Lower gross yields than newer Jomtien stock — priced as a capital-preservation building, not a yield play.
Comparable projects
Benchmark Northpoint against:
- Zire Wongamat — Raimon Land’s later Pattaya project, twin-tower luxury, 2014-2015 delivery.
- The Palm Wongamat — Nova Group 2015 beachfront, larger unit count, lower per-sqm pricing.
- Baan Plai Haad — Naklua low-rise beachfront, Thai resort character.
- The Riviera Wongamat — newer Riviera Group dual-tower, more accessible pricing.
- Arom Jomtien (Colours Development, Jan 2026) — newer delivery in a different subzone.

Verification checklist before deposit
- Confirm current foreign quota availability in writing from JLL / juristic office.
- Cross-check unit registration at Bang Lamung Land Office — owner, area, encumbrances.
- Request the last two years of AGM minutes and the current-year sinking fund balance.
- Inspect the specific unit for refurbishment level, aircon age, and balcony/facade condition.
- Verify the specific unit’s CAM arrears status and juristic penalty balance.
- Have a Thai-qualified property lawyer review the SPA, title, and (if leasing) the registered lease.
- Model net yield — not gross — using 2026 occupancy data and the building’s 30-day-minimum short-stay policy.
See the due diligence checklist.
Bottom line
Northpoint Pattaya is the Raimon Land / Naklua pricing anchor and the building that most clearly justifies its premium per-sqm positioning through unit-size generosity, JLL operational management, and SET-listed developer pedigree. It is priced for capital preservation more than yield. Foreign-quota resale availability is the operational constraint — plan for an extended search or accept Thai-quota + registered-lease structure.
