Overview
Baan Plai Haad is an elegant residential sanctuary completed in 2015 by Sansiri, one of Thailand's most respected developers. Located at the quietest tip of Wongamat Beach, this 31-story high-rise was designed by the world-renowned architect Stephen J. Leach. It is celebrated for its integration with nature, featuring a 12-meter slope that cascades down to a private beach area.
The building is famous for its 30th-floor infinity sky pool, which offers a seamless visual transition into the Gulf of Thailand. Unlike the dense "resort" projects found elsewhere, Baan Plai Haad focuses on a "quiet luxury" aesthetic, utilizing high ceilings and extensive greenery to create a peaceful environment that feels more like a private residence than a condominium.
Developer
Developed by Sansiri Public Company Limited, a developer synonymous with premium lifestyle living in Thailand. Known for their "Sansiri Service" and high attention to aesthetic detail, they collaborated with the award-winning landscape firm T.R.O.P. to create the project's iconic gardens. Sansiri buildings are highly prized in the secondary market for their stable management and the high-quality materials used in their construction.

The Bottom Line
Baan Plai Haad is "The Serene Skyscraper." It represents the pinnacle of Wongamat's "resort-luxury" market.

It remains one of the most stable and respected addresses in Pattaya.
