Kim’s November 2025 episode introduces a three-bedroom Mali Lotus villa offered by its owner near Hua Hin. Her published description supplies the dimensions, equipment, historical asking price and community-service details used here. Those listing terms belong to the time of publication and do not establish current availability, price or legal ownership rights.

The specification in Kim’s published description

The description lists 218 square metres of living area on 504 square metres of land, with three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms and a 9.5-by-4-metre private pool. It also identifies two connected terraces, an outdoor kitchen and lounge area, and a covered carport.

The stated equipment includes a 5 kW solar system, five air conditioners, a security alarm, a fitted kitchen, a dishwasher and two refrigerators. Kim’s description says the villa was offered furnished apart from one bedroom that had been used as an office. These are published listing details to verify against an inventory, inspection and current documents before relying on them.

Keep the November 2025 price and ownership wording historical

The published asking price was 8.9 million baht, with the owner described as offering to share half of the transfer fees. That figure does not show the eventual sale price and is not evidence that the property remains available. Any new quotation, included furniture and fee arrangement should be confirmed in writing.

The description labels the offer as “Freehold Ownership.” That is historical listing language, not an independent legal conclusion about the rights available to a particular buyer. Ask an independent Thai property lawyer to examine the title, seller authority, access, encumbrances, proposed ownership structure and registration steps for the actual transaction before committing money.

Check exactly what the community fee covers

At publication, the description gave an approximate annual common fee of 78,000 baht. It said this included security and common-area maintenance, a personal gardener six days a week, pool cleaning twice a week, access to a communal pool and a shuttle into Hua Hin. An optional gym membership was listed separately at 7,000 baht per year.

Treat every amount and service frequency as historical. Request the current fee schedule, recent increases, payment dates and a written list of inclusions and exclusions. Ask what the gardener and pool team actually maintain, who supplies chemicals and replacement plants, how missed visits are handled, whether the shuttle still operates, and whether housekeeping is included; Kim’s description does not list housekeeping.

Put repair responsibility and response times in writing

A furnished pool home brings several maintenance systems together. During a viewing, ask for service records and warranties for the pool, solar equipment, air conditioners, alarm, appliances and irrigation. Test the equipment that matters to daily life and identify which furnishings and controls transfer with the property.

Clarify who responds when the pool pump, solar system, appliance or water supply fails, how urgent problems are reported and what costs remain with the owner or resident. If you are considering any rental arrangement rather than a purchase, put repair responsibility, response times, gardening, pool service and any housekeeping in the lease instead of assuming the historical sale description applies.

Compare this episode with other channel property stories

David’s Narada 3 companion provides another finished-home example in Pak Nam Pran and adds questions about construction specifications, daily routes and agreements. His Pak Nam Pran pool-home page focuses on equipment, maintenance records and the difference between a filmed asking price and current terms.

For a rental comparison, David’s My Resort Hua Hin condo page asks what is included in rent, who handles repairs and how the building works in ordinary life. The related buying, rental-inspection and monthly-budget guides turn those questions into a document review, viewing checklist and cost worksheet.
