How we counted
“Family villas” are villas and townhouses with three bedrooms or more. Bang Tao means the Bang Tao area only; Laguna and Cherngtalay have their own pages.
The ฿461 million hotel villa in Bang Tao is counted but left out of the prices, as on our 4-bedroom page. School, gated and pool counts are as tagged in our listings; not every listing is tagged yet, so these are minimums. A villa counts as sea-view when its title or description mentions a sea or ocean view. Sold listings are left out; reserved ones are counted. Sizes are medians of the villas that state them. Figures update daily.
13 listings were left out by our data checks until they are corrected: 6 with a map pin that does not match the area they are listed in; and 7 listed as “price on request”, with no published price.
