Zire Wongamat Review 2026: Raimon Land Twin-Tower Luxury

Is Zire Wongamat a good luxury hold in 2026?

Zire Wongamat is Raimon Land’s twin-tower (37 and 54 storeys) Wongamat beachfront luxury project completed in late 2014-Q4 2015 across approximately 450 units, with direct beach access, a 25-metre infinity pool, sports court, children’s pool, and a current secondary-market average of roughly 122,000 THB per sqm (range 110,000-220,000 depending on stack and floor), asking prices from ~5.2 million THB for smaller studio stacks up to the 65 million THB range for premium sea-view duplex layouts (Raimon Land 2026; Hipflat Q1 2026; Thailand-Property Q1 2026; Cushman & Wakefield Q1 2026). Foreign quota is typically limited because the international buyer base absorbed the foreign-name allocation early in the 2014-2018 cycle, so new foreign buyers in 2026 face either an extended search for foreign-quota resale or a Thai-quota plus registered-lease structure.

For context: this is the second Raimon Land Pattaya project after Northpoint Pattaya and sits directly on Wongamat Beach in the Na Kluea subzone — the strongest premium foreign-buyer pocket of Pattaya. Buyers looking at Zire should benchmark against Northpoint, The Palm Wongamat, and the wider Wongamat area view.

The luxury hold thesis for Zire in 2026

Zire is Raimon Land’s second Pattaya project, built to a brief that deliberately sits alongside Northpoint Pattaya rather than competing head-on. Three factors define its 2026 positioning.

Twin-tower design and sightlines. The 37-storey and 54-storey pairing creates a more open facade than single-monolith towers of similar unit count. Upper-floor stacks in the 54-storey tower command panoramic sea views; lower floors in the 37-storey tower trade sea-view premium for immediate beach proximity and podium-amenity access. The design gives buyers a wider choice of sea-view-vs-beach-proximity trade-offs than most Pattaya twin-tower comparables.

Facility set calibrated to long-stay owner-occupier. The 25-metre infinity pool, multi-purpose sports court (tennis, basketball, badminton, volleyball), children’s pool, and landscaped tropical gardens reflect a family and long-stay retiree brief more than an investor-yield brief. The facilities have matured well at the 10-year mark and the children’s-pool and sports-court capacity is rare among Pattaya premium towers, where amenity space typically skews heavily toward adult wellness.

Raimon Land brand discipline. The building’s operational management has held up across ten years of occupation. Lobby, lift, and common-area finishes are consistent with 2014-2015 luxury delivery standards. Resale pricing discipline is visible across the listing stack — owners typically price to market and negotiate 3-8% from asking rather than discount aggressively.

The counterweight: studios at 38 sqm are on the smaller side by 2026 standards, and the 2014-2015 design vintage predates the rooftop-sky-pool, onsen, and co-working amenity spec of 2024-2026 Wongamat launches. Buyers prioritising newest-tier amenities should benchmark the newer Riviera Wongamat and the 2026 pipeline.

Total: 119.00M THB

• Studio (38 sqm) 8.00M THB (6.7%)
• 1BR (49–76 sqm) 16.00M THB (13.4%)
• 2BR (62–96 sqm) 30.00M THB (25.2%)
• Duplex / sky-view 65.00M THB (54.6%)

Location and beach access

Zire sits on Wongamat Beach within the Na Kluea administrative zone, with direct private beach access. Wongamat’s 1.8 km sand stretch is the strongest water-quality section of the wider Pattaya beachfront — meaningfully better than Pattaya Beach itself, and the core reason premium pricing persists in the subzone.

Drive-time and walking anchors:

• Direct beachfront. Private residents’ access to Wongamat sand.
• Terminal 21 Pattaya: 10-12 minutes by car.
• Central Festival Pattaya: 12-15 minutes by car.
• Bangkok Hospital Pattaya: 12-18 minutes by car.
• Pattaya International Hospital: 15-20 minutes by car.
• Sanctuary of Truth: 3-5 minutes by car.
• Pattaya International Schools (Regents, Garden International): 15-25 minutes by car.
• Suvarnabhumi Airport: 1h20-1h40 by expressway.
• U-Tapao International Airport: 40-50 minutes by car.

For area context see the Wongamat area page.

Unit mix, floor plans, and layout strengths

• Studio 38 sqm. Compact by 2026 standards but above the 32-36 sqm Pattaya studio norm. Functional as pied-à-terre or long-stay rental; less competitive against the 50+ sqm studios at Northpoint Pattaya for owner-occupier use.
• 1-bedroom 49-76 sqm. The building’s widest size band. The 49-55 sqm stack targets yield investors; 60-76 sqm stacks target owner-occupiers and long-stay residents. Sea-view premium on higher floors runs 15-25% per sqm over partial-view equivalents.
• 2-bedroom 62-96 sqm. Family-capable layouts. The 80-96 sqm stacks with dual-aspect sea views are the most-sought-after resale inventory and where foreign-quota availability most often concentrates.
• Duplex. Premium two-floor layouts, typically on upper-floor stacks. Larger floor plates and two-level living; priced at the top of the per-sqm range.

Unit delivery was fully furnished. After 10+ years, unit condition varies — renovation level, aircon age, kitchen and bathroom refresh, and balcony/facade maintenance are the key inspection priorities. See the due diligence checklist.

Facilities and building quality

Zire’s facility set reflects premium 2014-2015 design, centred on the infinity pool and sports-court spec:

• 25-metre infinity swimming pool with sundeck and sea-aspect positioning.
• Fully equipped fitness centre with cardio and resistance equipment.
• Multi-purpose sports court supporting tennis, basketball, badminton, volleyball — rare at Pattaya premium towers.
• Children’s pool and playground — a family-oriented amenity rare among 2014-2016 luxury beachfront towers.
• Landscaped tropical gardens wrapping the podium.
• Sauna and steam room.
• 24-hour security with CCTV and keycard access.
• Covered parking adequate for the 450-unit count.
• Lobby lounge and reception.

Building quality at the 10-year mark is solid. Tower facades have held up against salt-air exposure with disciplined maintenance. Common-area lobby and lift specifications remain at original premium standard. Buyers inspecting resale units should request the sinking-fund balance, the last two years of AGM minutes, and the juristic-person’s capital-expenditure plan for 2026-2028 — the next facade and major-systems refresh cycle approaches.

Common area maintenance (CAM) fees at Wongamat premium beachfront towers of this tier run 50-70 THB per sqm per month. For a 55 sqm 1-bedroom, budget ~2,750-3,850 THB per month CAM; for a 90 sqm 2-bedroom, ~4,500-6,300 THB. Verify current rates in transaction-specific financial disclosure. See the condo maintenance fees guide.

2026 pricing, foreign quota, and ownership

Q1 2026 secondary-market pricing ranges:

• Studio (38 sqm): 5.2-8 million THB, ~135,000-210,000 THB per sqm.
• 1-bedroom (49-76 sqm): 7-18 million THB, ~130,000-220,000 THB per sqm.
• 2-bedroom (62-96 sqm): 10-25 million THB, ~140,000-220,000 THB per sqm.
• Duplex and premium sea-view: 25-65 million THB for larger high-floor stacks.

(Directional figures — Hipflat, FazWaz, Thailand-Property Q1 2026; actual transaction pricing varies with floor, stack, sea-view quality, refurbishment status, and foreign/Thai quota.)

Foreign quota. The Condominium Act caps foreign-name ownership at 49% of saleable floor area per building (Condominium Act B.E. 2522). At Zire, foreign allocation absorbed early in the 2014-2018 cycle. 2026 foreign-quota availability is typically limited — often fewer than 10 units at any time, concentrated in the larger 2-bedroom and duplex stacks. Foreign-quota units trade at a 5-15% per-sqm premium over comparable Thai-quota stock.

Thai-quota plus 30-year registered lease is the practical alternative for foreign buyers who can’t wait for foreign-quota resale. The structure is legal, enforceable, and commonly used at Pattaya premium towers — but carries different resale mechanics, renewal risk, and inheritance considerations versus freehold ownership. The freehold vs leasehold guide covers this in detail, and the foreign quota 49% rule explains the Act’s registration step.

Rental performance and yield

Long-let asking rents in 2026:

• Studio (38 sqm): 25,000-38,000 THB per month.
• 1-bedroom (49-76 sqm): 35,000-65,000 THB per month.
• 2-bedroom (62-96 sqm): 55,000-110,000 THB per month.
• Duplex and premium layouts: 100,000+ THB per month.

Gross long-let yields sit in the 5-7% range on 2026 purchase prices. Occupancy for well-managed units runs 85-95% across the year. Short-stay operation under the Hotel Act 30-day-minimum structure is feasible where the juristic person permits; nightly-portal listings are not. See the Airbnb Thailand legal guide.

Practical 2026 underwriting for a 1-bedroom purchase at 10 million THB:

• Gross rent: 50,000 THB/month = 600,000 THB/year.
• Gross yield: 6.0%.
• CAM + sinking + tax: ~50,000 THB/year.
• Furnishing amortisation + minor repairs: ~30,000 THB/year.
• Management fee (if outsourced): 50,000-60,000 THB/year.
• Net yield: roughly 4.2-5.0%.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Raimon Land SET-listed developer pedigree, second Pattaya project after Northpoint.
• Direct Wongamat Beach access, the strongest water-quality pocket of Pattaya beachfront.
• Twin-tower design gives wider stack-level choice on sea-view vs beach-proximity.
• Family and long-stay facilities (children’s pool, sports court) rare at Pattaya premium tier.
• Resale pricing discipline — owners price to market.

Cons

• Foreign quota typically limited; extended search often required.
• 38 sqm studio smaller than Northpoint’s 50+ sqm studio stock.
• Facility vintage (2014-2015) predates sky-pool / onsen / co-working spec of newer launches.
• 10+ year-old units need careful inspection and possibly refurbishment budget.
• Gross yield at the lower end of the Pattaya range — priced as a capital-preservation hold.

Comparable projects

Benchmark Zire against:

• Northpoint Pattaya — Raimon Land’s earlier 2009 flagship, larger unit sizes, higher per-sqm pricing.
• The Palm Wongamat — Nova Group 2015 beachfront, larger unit count, comparable positioning.
• The Riviera Wongamat — newer Riviera Group dual-tower.
• Baan Plai Haad — Naklua low-rise beachfront alternative.
• Copacabana Coral Reef — Na Jomtien 2027 delivery, newer amenity tier at lower pricing.

Verification checklist before deposit

1. Confirm current foreign quota availability in writing from the juristic person’s office.
2. Cross-check unit registration at Bang Lamung Land Office — owner, area, encumbrances.
3. Request the last two years of AGM minutes and the sinking-fund balance.
4. Inspect the unit for refurbishment status, aircon age, and balcony/facade condition.
5. Check CAM arrears and juristic-penalty balance on the specific unit.
6. Engage a Thai-qualified property lawyer for SPA, title, and (if leasing) registered-lease drafting.
7. Model net yield — not gross — using current occupancy and the 30-day-minimum short-stay policy.

See the due diligence checklist.

Bottom line

Zire Wongamat is Raimon Land’s premium Wongamat twin-tower hold and a credible capital-preservation vehicle for foreign buyers who value brand pedigree, family-capable facilities, and direct beach access over newest-tier amenities. Foreign-quota resale availability is the operational constraint — structure the transaction around quota verification and Thai-qualified legal review rather than chasing headline asking prices.
