Why this resale
- ✓ Only 123,000 THB below the 30 m² one-bedroom A309 in the same building
- ✓ 126,125 THB per m², a fifth more per metre than that larger apartment
- ✓ The plan labels a bedroom zone but shows no wall or door dividing it
- ✓ Leasehold; mountain outlook on the fourth floor; October 2026 handover
B454 asks 3,027,000 THB for a 24 m² studio. In the same building, A309 asks 3,150,000 THB for a 30 m² one-bedroom.
The difference is 123,000 THB, about four per cent. That is the fact this page exists to state, because every other argument for a studio assumes a meaningful saving and there is not one here.
Six square metres and a wall, for 4%
Per square metre the studio is the more expensive apartment: 126,125 THB against 105,000, a fifth more. That premium on small formats is normal, studios let nightly more easily and resell to a wider pool of first-time buyers, and it is usually paid for with a much lower total price.
Here it is not. At a 123,000 THB spread the case for the studio comes down to a single question: is the smaller cheque the thing that makes the purchase possible? If yes, the argument is settled and the rest of this page is diligence. If no, the larger apartment is better value on both measures at once, which is a rare thing to be able to say.
The plan labels a bedroom it does not build
This matters for the comparison above. The Type A one-bedroom in this building has a bedroom you can close; B454 has a zone the drawing names. For a guest staying four nights the distinction is small. For a tenant staying three months, which is what Karon’s long-stay demand looks like, it is most of the product.
What the fourth floor and a mountain outlook are worth
Both of the other lots here are sold partly on aspect: garden and sunset on the third floor, mountain and town on the sixth. B454 is on the fourth with a mountain outlook, and no lot in this building has a sea view.
Since the material gives handover as October 2026, that can be settled by looking rather than by argument. Confirm the date with the developer, then go up and see what the fourth floor faces. In a building where nobody is buying the sea, the outlook is worth exactly what it looks like from the window and nothing that a sales sheet says about it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Barely, and that is the whole question on this page. B454 asks 3,027,000 THB and A309, a 30 m² one-bedroom, asks 3,150,000. The gap is 123,000 THB, about 4%, for six square metres less floor area and no wall between the sleeping and living zones. Unless the smaller cheque is what stands between you and the purchase, the larger apartment is the better buy at this spread.
Because small formats carry a premium here as they do in most Phuket buildings: 126,125 THB per m² against 105,000 for the one-bedroom. It is not irrational: a studio is easier to let nightly and easier to sell to a first-time buyer, but it means the metre you are buying is a fifth dearer, and at a 123,000 THB spread the argument does not survive the comparison.
It labels one. What it draws is an open layout: a sleeping zone with a wardrobe run along one side, a sofa and table in the same volume, a kitchen against the far wall and a balcony beyond, with a bathroom in the corner. There is no wall or door between the sleeping and living areas. That is a studio, and worth knowing before comparing it with an apartment that has a room.
It sits between the other two lots in the building, which are 28% and 8% below their reference prices. Since all three reference prices come from the same seller material rather than from a developer list you have seen, treat the percentage as a description of the seller's urgency rather than as a measure of value, and compare the three cash figures instead.
The material gives October 2026, the same date as the other two lots. That is close enough that the apartment can be inspected before you commit, which is unusual for an assignment and the single most valuable thing about this listing. Confirm the date with the developer, then go and see the unit and the fourth-floor outlook.
