Best Sansiri Projects in Phuket 2026: Ranked
All 4 Sansiri Phuket projects ranked by investment goal: yield, lifestyle, budget, and capital growth. CANVAS, The Base Cherngtalay, Rhea, The Base Rise compared side by side.
Best Sansiri Projects in Phuket 2026: Ranked for Foreign Buyers
Sansiri has four active projects in Phuket in 2026: CANVAS Cherngtalay ($190K-$560K, ready), The Base Cherngtalay ($215K+, 90% sold), Rhea by Sansiri ($140K-$290K, launching 2026), and The Base Rise Phuket (from $78K). No single project is “best”, the right choice depends entirely on your investment goal, risk tolerance, budget, and lifestyle priorities. This guide ranks all four by the criteria that matter most to foreign buyers and tells you plainly which project serves which objective.
Ranking 1: Best Sansiri project for rental yield
For pure yield-per-dollar-invested, Rhea’s $140K entry price combined with Surin’s premium ADR makes it the strongest gross yield proposition. A 1BR at $140K generating $85/night at 62% occupancy produces approximately 13.7% gross yield, significantly higher than CANVAS or The Base Cherngtalay on the same metric.
The trade-off is off-plan risk (2027 delivery) and lower absolute occupancy than Bang Tao. But for investors who are yield-focused and comfortable with off-plan Sansiri product, Rhea’s numbers are compelling.
Runner-up: The Base Rise Phuket (Wichit)
For long-stay residential rental, The Base Rise at $78K generates gross yields of 10-16% from monthly nomad/professional tenants, exceptional net efficiency given the entry price. Different yield profile (monthly residential vs short-stay tourism), but the returns on capital are the highest in the Sansiri lineup.
| Project | Entry price | Gross yield (1BR, base case) | Yield type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rhea by Sansiri | $140K | 10-14% | Short-stay tourism |
| The Base Rise Phuket | $78K | 10-16% | Long-stay residential |
| CANVAS Cherngtalay | $190K | 7-9% | Short-stay premium |
| The Base Cherngtalay | $215K | 7-10% | Short/long-stay |
Frequently Asked Questions
Delivery certainty that is verifiable rather than claimed, and a shorter marketing period at resale because the name is recognised. It does not by itself make the yield work.
In condominium products, within each building's 49% foreign-quota floor area. In villa and house products, no: foreign freehold of land is unavailable anywhere in Thailand, so those are registered leases or Thai company structures.
By location relative to what you actually want: a west-coast building for holiday letting, an east-side one near the schools and hospitals for annual tenancies. The developer is a constant across both; the demand is not.
Delivery certainty and exit recognition rather than higher yield. Whether it is worth it depends on your holding period, since a shorter hold benefits more from the faster resale and a long hold benefits more from whatever you saved elsewhere.
The specific building's letting position, the juristic person's sinking fund against its age, and what is under construction nearby, including the developer's own next phase, which will compete with your resale.

Ranking 2: Best Sansiri project for lifestyle ownership
For buyers whose primary goal is a premium residence or holiday home, and rental income is secondary, CANVAS Cherngtalay is the strongest lifestyle product in Sansiri’s Phuket lineup. It sits in Cherng Talay (Phuket’s most developed premium corridor), is completed and ready to move into, offers luxury specification, and has a boutique 175-unit scale that prevents the “resort hotel” feel of larger complexes.
The Cherng Talay location delivers lifestyle infrastructure: Boat Avenue dining and retail, Laguna resort activities (golf, spa, beach club), and the Bang Tao beachfront within 2 km. For owners who will spend significant time in Phuket personally, CANVAS has the most complete lifestyle proposition of any Sansiri project.
Runner-up: The Base Cherngtalay
For lifestyle buyers who prioritise pet-friendly ownership and the Bang Tao community feel over CANVAS’s luxury positioning, The Base Cherngtalay is the better fit. The 90% sold status creates a more established owner community, which can be a lifestyle positive. Its proximity to Laguna and Bang Tao beach is comparable to CANVAS.
| Project | Lifestyle score | Why |
|---|---|---|
| CANVAS Cherngtalay | Highest | Luxury spec, Cherng Talay address, boutique scale, ready now |
| The Base Cherngtalay | High | Bang Tao community, pet-friendly, established zone |
| Rhea by Sansiri | Moderate | Surin’s boutique character, but off-plan until 2027 |
| The Base Rise Phuket | Lower | Practical, not aspirational; no beach proximity |
Ranking 3: Best Sansiri project for budget buyers
There is no competition on price: The Base Rise starts at $78K, roughly half of Rhea’s entry price and less than a third of CANVAS’s entry. For buyers with limited capital who want Sansiri’s brand guarantee, The Base Rise is the only viable option in the lineup.
The $78K entry means that investors can acquire Sansiri-quality product, achieve 7-10% net yield from long-stay rentals, and maintain capital diversification across multiple assets instead of concentrating all capital in one premium unit.
Runner-up: Rhea by Sansiri ($140K entry)
For buyers who want a beach zone product but cannot stretch to CANVAS or The Base Cherngtalay, Rhea’s $140K entry at Surin Beach is the next step up. It is off-plan (2027 delivery) but offers genuine beachside lifestyle and strong yield potential at nearly half the entry price of the most expensive Sansiri project.
| Project | Entry (USD) | Accessible if budget is |
|---|---|---|
| The Base Rise Phuket | $78K | Under $100K |
| Rhea by Sansiri | $140K | $100K-$180K |
| CANVAS Cherngtalay | $190K | $180K-$300K+ |
| The Base Cherngtalay | $215K | $200K-$350K+ |
Ranking 4: Best Sansiri project for capital growth
Capital growth in Phuket is driven by location scarcity, zone maturity, and brand positioning, all of which favour CANVAS. It holds the “first Sansiri in Cherngtalay” positioning in one of Phuket’s most established and continuing-to-develop premium zones. Completed product in high-demand zones with limited remaining supply (70% sold, 30% remaining) historically supports price appreciation as the secondary market forms.
Cherng Talay has delivered 6-9% per year price appreciation in premium condo segments over recent cycles, supported by continued international demand and infrastructure investment in the Laguna area.
Runner-up: Rhea by Sansiri
Rhea’s capital growth thesis is speculative but interesting: first Sansiri project in Surin, off-plan pricing before delivery, and the potential for Sansiri’s brand-building in the zone to lift values across the 2025-2029 pipeline period. If Surin follows the Cherng Talay trajectory, early Rhea buyers could see meaningful appreciation. But this requires a longer hold horizon and higher risk tolerance.
| Project | Capital growth potential | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| CANVAS Cherngtalay | Highest | Established zone, first Sansiri, limited remaining supply |
| Rhea by Sansiri | High (speculative) | First Sansiri in Surin, off-plan upside, zone gentrification |
| The Base Cherngtalay | Moderate | Bang Tao established, but 90% sold limits near-term upside |
| The Base Rise Phuket | Lower | Urban central Phuket, different capital growth dynamics |
What all four projects share
- SET-listed developer with audited financials and governance accountability
- 40+ years of delivery history, over 400 completed projects in Thailand
- Freehold ownership available to foreigners up to 49% of floor area
- Professional management infrastructure post-completion
- Brand recognition that supports resale liquidity in the international buyer market
- 0% buyer commission when purchased through MORE Group as an authorised partner
Pros and cons: choosing a Sansiri project
Pros
- A SET-listed developer with audited accounts you can read before committing
- Several delivered Phuket projects, so the local record is walkable rather than only Bangkok-based
- A range of projects at once, so the choice can be made on location and format rather than on availability
- Corporate scale materially reduces the chance of a stalled site
- Strong secondary-market recognition, which widens the buyer pool at resale
What to consider:
- The two most desirable projects (CANVAS at 70% sold, The Base Cherngtalay at 90% sold) have very limited remaining inventory, decision pressure is real
- Off-plan projects (Rhea, The Base Rise) require comfort with pre-delivery risk despite Sansiri’s track record
- No single project maximises all objectives simultaneously, trade-offs are inherent
- Sansiri carries a price premium over newer or smaller competitors, buying the brand costs something
