Yes, you can still buy a cheap sea view condo in Pattaya, as long as a studio or a small one-bedroom will do. As of November 2026 we list 20 sea-view condos for sale under ฿2 million, from ฿1,190,000 to ฿1,990,000, and 15 of them are on foreign quota. Most are in Jomtien and Wongamat, between the 4th and the 29th floor.
Below: where the cheapest sea views are, how the units compare and which a foreigner can own outright. Prices are asking prices as of November 2026; they change, and the cheapest units sell first, so check the live listing.
Pattaya sits on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand, about 150 km southeast of Bangkok, and many of its condos look out over the water. Today we list 867 condos for sale across the Pattaya area, and the seller records a sea view on 375 of them.
That view has a price. The median asking price of our sea-view condos is ฿5,289,900, against ฿2,850,000 for the ones without a sea view. Per square metre the gap is just as clear: a median of about ฿105,800 with a sea view and about ฿69,400 without.
In Pattaya a sea view adds about half again to the price of each square metre, so the cheap ones are small.
So "cheap" here means compact. Of our 375 sea-view condos, 60 are listed at ฿3 million or less, 20 at ฿2 million or less and only 6 at ฿1.5 million or less.
Jomtien and Wongamat with Naklua together hold 15 of the 20 sea-view condos we list under ฿2 million.
| Area | Sea-view condos | Lowest price | Under ฿2M | Under ฿3M | Median price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jomtien | 159 | ฿1,190,000 | 7 | 29 | about ฿5.1 million |
| Wongamat and Naklua | 67 | ฿1,350,000 | 8 | 14 | about ฿5.0 million |
| Pratumnak | 69 | ฿1,990,000 | 2 | 8 | about ฿5.6 million |
| Na Jomtien and Bang Saray | 38 | ฿1,390,000 | 2 | 5 | about ฿7.3 million |
| Central Pattaya | 32 | ฿1,990,000 | 1 | 4 | about ฿5.0 million |
North Pattaya and Thappraya have sea views too, but none we list under ฿3 million. Jomtien Beach runs for about 6 km, starting about 3 km south of Pattaya, and it has the most sea-view condos under ฿3 million of any area we list, 29 in all.
Wong Amat Beach is in Naklua, in the north of Pattaya. Its sea-view median is close to Jomtien's, yet we list eight sea-view units under ฿2 million around Wongamat and Naklua, the most of any area. On Pratumnak Hill the cheapest sea view we list is ฿1,990,000; our guide to sea-view condos in Pratumnak under ฿3 million covers the hill in more detail.

The other ten under ฿2 million cost from ฿1,850,000 to ฿1,990,000, including three fully furnished one-bedrooms at Lumpini Ville in Naklua.
Our cheapest sea view is a 21 m² studio on the 5th floor of Building D at Neo Sea View, at ฿1,190,000 on foreign quota. The seller describes the view as sea and city. It is sold with a tenant paying ฿7,000 a month until April 2027, a gross return of about 7.1% a year.
Neo Sea View is a low-rise development of four eight-storey buildings and 308 units on Jomtien Beach Road, completed in 2014, with a rooftop pool and gym. We also list a one-bedroom there at ฿1,360,000.
Under ฿2 million, 13 of our 20 sea-view condos are studios: the view comes first, the space second.
The Angket Hip Residence studio on the 8th floor is 36 m² for ฿1,350,000, about ฿37,500 per square metre. That is the lowest price per square metre of any sea-view condo we list under ฿2 million, and it is on foreign quota.
Our building details for Angket Hip Residence are still being added. Ask about the shared facilities, the monthly common-area fee and which way the balcony faces.
AD Hyatt is a 33-storey tower on Soi Naklua 16, a short walk from Wong Amat Beach. It has a pool with a waterslide, a gym, a restaurant, a minimart and 24-hour security.
We list four sea-view studios here under ฿2 million, three of them on foreign quota:
Lumpini Park Beach Jomtien is a resort-style beachfront condominium of three 30-storey towers and 1,846 residences, with direct beach access, two pools, a gym, a sauna and a rooftop lounge on the 29th floor. Our sea-view unit is a 28 m² one-bedroom on the 28th floor at ฿1,950,000, on Thai quota, so check the building's foreign quota first.
Thiantong Condotel is an older tower on Jomtien Soi 7, about 50 metres from Jomtien Beach, with a rooftop pool, a minimart and a laundry. Our sea-view studio there is 37 m² on the 15th floor at ฿1,990,000, on foreign quota, and it is the largest studio on this list.
Six of the 20 sea-view condos under ฿2 million are sold with a tenant already paying rent. That suits an investor, not a buyer who wants to move in soon.
Gross means before the common-area fee, repairs, agent fees, tax and empty months, so the net return will be lower. Ask to see the lease and agree who holds the tenant's deposit.
Thai law lets a foreigner own a condo unit freehold, in their own name, as long as foreign owners together hold no more than 49% of the building's total unit floor area. That share is called the foreign quota, and our guide to the 49% foreign quota rule explains it in full.
Of our 20 sea-view condos under ฿2 million, 15 are listed on foreign quota, so they can transfer straight into a foreign buyer's name. The other five are Thai quota: they are held by a Thai owner today and can go into your name only if the building still has foreign quota space.
For a Thai quota unit, ask the building's juristic person, the legal body that manages a condo's shared areas, for a letter confirming the foreign quota still available. The Land Office asks for that letter when a unit transfers to a foreigner.
Fifteen of the twenty are on foreign quota, the simplest route for a foreign buyer.
Between ฿2 million and ฿3 million we list 40 more sea-view condos, so stretching the budget triples your choice, with about as many one-bedrooms as studios.
A sea-view two-bedroom costs more. The cheapest we list is 53 m² on the 2nd floor of Grand View Condo in Na Jomtien at ฿3,399,900, and the next is 52 m² on the 36th floor of Unixx in Pratumnak at ฿3,799,900.
A "sea view" in a listing can mean the whole bay or a slice of blue between two towers. Our data records the view the seller gives; the Serenity Wongamat studio is listed as a partial sea view.
Our guide to what to expect when you buy a sea-view condo in Pattaya covers views, noise and resale in more depth.
A sea-view studio under ฿2 million suits a retiree who wants a lock-up-and-leave flat, a remote worker who wants the sea outside the window, or an investor who wants a small unit that rents. With only 20 at this price, move when one fits.
