Sudara is developed by Dr. Allan Zeman through a partnership between Lan Kwai Fong Group and Paradise Group. Dr. Zeman created Hong Kong's Lan Kwai Fong district from a wet market street into Asia's premier entertainment destination over the past 40 years. He owns 65% of Lan Kwai Fong's properties and sold his original fashion business for $280 million (Wikipedia).
More relevant to your Phuket investment: Dr. Zeman has owned and operated Andara Resort in Phuket for 20 years. Andara has won Best Villa Development Thailand, Best Villa Development Southeast Asia, Best Residential Architecture Thailand, and maintains a consistent 9.8/10 guest rating on Andara’s official property platforms. During Phuket’s traditionally lowest season in August 2024, Andara achieved 100% occupancy, continuing a streak of nine consecutive months at full occupancy. No other five-star resort in Phuket achieved this.
Dr. Zeman serves as Non-executive Chairman of Wynn Macau, independent director of multiple Hong Kong Stock Exchange companies, and received the Grand Bauhinia Medal from Hong Kong's government. He's not a typical property developer who builds and exits. He's an operator who manages properties for decades and has personal reputation at stake.
The same Andara management team handling Sudara's rental program has been operating successfully in Phuket for 20 years. They already know what works.

Construction completion is contractually guaranteed for Q3 2027 (approximately 24 months from building permit approval in August 2024). The building permit (No. 207/2567) has been secured, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) approval was granted in June 2024, and construction has commenced.
Here's how buyer protection is structured: payment is staged across five phases tied to construction milestones. You don't pay the final 25% until completion notice, unit inspection, key handover, and title registration at the Land Department actually occur. If completion doesn't happen, you're not required to make final payment.
Additionally, Sudara provides a 5-year structural warranty and a 2-year non-structural warranty from condominium registration date. This is backed by Princess Villa Co., Ltd. (registered capital 80.687M THB, fully paid), not a shell company.
Unlike developers who build multiple projects simultaneously and spread resources thin, Lan Kwai Fong Group's model is focused development with long-term operational commitment. Dr. Zeman's Andara Resort took 24 months from groundbreaking to completion in 2005 and he's still operating it 20 years later. Track record matters.
Legal & Ownership
Frequently Asked
-
Yes. Thai law permits foreigners to own condominium units on a freehold basis up to 49% of any condominium project's total saleable area. Sudara Phase 1 reserves appropriate quota for foreign freehold ownership.
Freehold ownership means:
Title registered in your name at the Thai Land Department
Perpetual ownership (no time limit or renewal requirement)
Full rights to sell, transfer, or bequeath the property
No Thai nominee or company structure required
The remaining 51% is available as leasehold (30-year terms, renewable) or for Thai nationals. Leasehold provides identical usage rights with lower initial registration fees (1.1% vs 2% freehold fee) and is transferable subject to lease terms.
-
Freehold:
2% registration fee + 1% withholding tax + 3.3% business tax (split 50/50 with developer, your cost ~3.15% total)
Leasehold:
1.1% registration fee (typically your cost ~0.55% plus renewal fees paid to the lessor)

We recommend consulting with an independent Thai property lawyer. We can provide referrals to three qualified attorneys who specialize in foreign property acquisition and will review all documentation independently of the developer.
-
Yes, through the following process:
Reserve online with a refundable 200K THB deposit
Due diligence period (14 days): Review all legal documentation remotely, conduct video tours, consult with your legal advisor
Sign definitive agreements via digital signature or courier
Make payments via international wire transfer to Princess Villa Co., Ltd.'s registered Thai bank account
However, we strongly recommend visiting Phuket to:
Experience Andara Resort's quality (3D/2N stay available for qualified buyers)
Tour the construction site
Meet the management team
Inspect show units in person
Many investors purchase after a single day visit. We can arrange same-day site tours, management presentations, and legal consultations with recommended attorneys if you're time-constrained.

Standard Payment Structure:

An initial 35% deposit: Upon signing definitive agreements (includes reservation fee)
20% payment: 90 days after initial deposit

-
The land is unencumbered (no mortgages or liens). All titles are clean and registered. Once you complete payment and register title transfer at the Land Department, the property is legally yours with full foreign ownership rights (for freehold units up to 49% of total project).
-
For online purchases, a 14-day inspection period applies from the reservation date. Visit Phuket, inspect the show units and construction site, and if you're unsatisfied, receive full refund of the reservation fee. After definitive agreements are signed, refund terms follow standard Thai condominium law and contract specifications.

Investment & Returns
Frequently Asked
-
Price alone doesn't determine investment value. While entry-level projects in Phuket average 10–15% cheaper per square meter, here's what the data shows: sea view properties in Phuket sell for 25% more than non-sea view equivalents, and they consistently command higher rental rates year-round. Sudara offers full Andaman Sea views from every unit just 500 meters from Bangtao Beach.
More critically, Sudara is Phuket's lowest density condominium development with just 220 units across 22 rai. Compare this to competing projects putting 800+ units on equivalent land. Our average unit size is 80–124 sqm for two-bedrooms, while the current market standard is 45–60 sqm. In 3–5 years, Phuket will have thousands of small hotel-style units available. Sudara will be the only beachside alternative offering human-sized living spaces with genuine luxury positioning.
The rental advantage is measurable: larger units with sea views consistently achieve 15–20% higher nightly rates and maintain 85–95% occupancy during high season versus 65–75% for standard units. Your investment isn't just buying property, it's securing a competitive position in a crowded market.

Based on actual Andara Resort & Villas data (managed by the same team operating Sudara), here's what current performance indicates:
One-bedroom units (52 sqm): 700K–850K THB gross annual rental income
Two-bedroom units (80–117 sqm): 1.2M–1.8M THB gross annual rental income
Three-bedroom units (110 sqm): 1.8M–2.4M THB gross annual rental income
With Sudara's 15% management fee structure, you keep 85% of all rental income. That means:
One-bedroom: ~595K–723K THB in your pocket annually
Two-bedroom: ~1.02M–1.53M THB in your pocket annually
Three-bedroom: ~1.53M–2.04M THB in your pocket annually
Most Phuket developers charge 30–60% management fees. At 30%, you'd keep only 490K–595K THB on that same one-bedroom unit. Sudara's structure puts an extra 100K–200K THB annually in your pocket on smaller units, and 300K–600K THB more on larger units, every single year.
Current Phuket market average rental yield is 7–10% annually. Sudara's combination of sea views, low density, Andara management credibility, and owner-friendly fee structure positions units at the higher end of this range.
-
Yes, over 10,000 new condo units launched in Phuket in 2024. But here's what the data actually shows: sea view properties in prime beachfront locations appreciated 7–12% in 2024, while non-sea-view inland properties with no views grew only 2–4%. The market isn't oversaturated, it's bifurcating.
Properties in prime locations like Bang Tao experienced annual price increases of 5–10%, with sea view properties commanding 25% premiums over non-sea view equivalents and achieving rental yields of 7–10%. When 800-unit projects with 45 sqm studios flood the market, they compete with each other. Sudara competes in a completely different category.
Consider Andara Resort as a precedent: a 5-bedroom villa that sold for $1.8M USD in 2005 now sells for $15M USD in 2025. That's not typical Phuket performance, that's what happens when you build quality in limited supply with credible long-term management. Sudara follows the same development philosophy with the same team.
Additionally, Bangtao is experiencing significant infrastructure development including airport expansion (completion 2031) and improved connectivity via planned expressways. These infrastructure improvements historically drive 8–15% additional appreciation in surrounding property values.
