ESTABLISHED SITE WITH GREAT LOCATION
The Lai Thai Resort was opened in 1996, as one of the first luxury resorts in Ao Nang. Included in the “Top 100 Resorts of Thailand” by travel writer Lily Yousry-Jouve, it has, over 15 years, built an impressive client base.
The increasing demand for family accommodation in Krabi, and the scarcity of centrally located property, has led to the development of “The Lai Thai” project, that will transform this long established hotel into a complex of luxury apartments, all available to private buyers. The project is truly one of a kind: it will be the only serviced apartment resort within walking distance of Ao Nang Beach.
The Lai Thai is located 700 metres from the glittering Andaman Sea and well within the main commercial area of the Ao Nang beach front, with dozens of restaurants, shops, bars, minimarts, as well as a pharmacy and clinic, on the doorstep. The magnificent limestone cliffs behind the beach are clearly visible from the project site.
MODERN, ACCESSIBLE, LUXURIOUS
The new development will erect three buildings, each four stories in height, holding a total of 80 apartments, as well as retail space, staff lodging, a reception area, fitness facilities and a half Olympic-sized swimming pool, with separate children’s area and Jacuzzi.
The project design is in the modern tropical style, with an emphasis on natural finishings (used over the highest quality materials) and creating a green and pleasant space. The architecture of the buildings maximises the number of rooms with views of the cliffs, pool and waterfalls, or the landscaped gardens.
The Lai Thai complies in full with the Enhancement and Conservation of National Environmental Quality Act of 1992. All public areas are wheelchair accessible and apartments can be customised for people with disabilities.
CHOICE OF FULLY-FURNISHED APARTMENTS
There are four different units available: the studio, the 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartments, and the premium 2 bedroom penthouses, of which there will be two units only. Ground (first) floor plans have a layout allowing direct pool and garden access; second to fourth floors units have balconies facing outward. Prices start from 3.9 million baht.

All apartments will come fully furnished, including equipped kitchens, cable television connection and air conditioning; high speed wireless internet access will be available throughout the property.
PRO-ACTIVE RENTAL PROGRAM
After opening, The Lai Thai will continue to operate as a fully licensed hotel, making it an attractive investment for those who do not wish to live in Ao Nang full time. Each apartment can be rented out through the resort system, which will take advantage of the existing hotel website, repeat clientele and network of agents. Owners can choose to keep full rights of occupancy (no blackout periods), or opt for a guaranteed rental return. Further details can be found in our rental package (registration required).
The Lai Thai thus offers investors full freedom in addition to an experienced management team ready to maximise rental yield if required.
