Two long west-coast beaches south of Patong, quieter than it and popular with return-visit families; Kata Noi in the south is the smallest and most enclosed. Condos on the hillsides between the bays make up the bulk of the foreign-quota stock, with villas on the ridges above Kata Noi; the beaches face the monsoon swell, so the season is more pronounced than on the Gulf side of the country.

Daily rental for stays under 30 nights falls under Thailand’s Hotel Act and generally needs a hotel licence or a qualifying exemption. Brixfox never claims a listing is licensed for short-term letting; every listing carries the warning and the building’s or estate’s position must be verified before underwriting nightly income.
Foreign buyers own condominiums freehold within a building’s 49% foreign quota; villas are held on a registered 30-year leasehold or through a Thai company. The ownership route changes what a yield is worth, and it is shown per listing.
Many listings are geocoded to an area or neighbourhood centroid rather than the exact plot (recorded per listing as location precision), so distances and map positions here are approximate.
Matched on the listing's stated area; a condo described as two areas can appear under both. Prices in USD as listed.
