Wongamat has become one of the most sought-after addresses in Pattaya. Its quieter beach, modern high-rise condos and easy access to the city make it a favourite with long-stay renters, remote workers and families who want the sea on their doorstep without the noise of central Pattaya.
If you are thinking about renting here, timing matters. The weeks before Pattaya’s high season, which runs from around November to February, are one of the best times to look. Owners are keen to fill their units before the rush, so renters get more choice, more time to compare and often more room to discuss terms. Here is what you need to know.
Where is Wongamat?
Wongamat sits in the Naklua area at the northern end of Pattaya. The beach curves along a peaceful bay, close to the famous Sanctuary of Truth. Unlike Pattaya Beach, the shoreline here is lined mostly with residential condos and resorts, so the atmosphere is calmer and more relaxed.
You are still only a short drive from North Pattaya Road, large shopping malls, hospitals and the entertainment of the city centre. For many renters, that balance is exactly the appeal. Songthaews run along Naklua Road towards the city, and many residents use ride-hailing apps or a motorbike for short trips, so getting around without a car is straightforward.
Why renters love Wongamat
A quieter beach. Wongamat Beach feels more like a resort than a city beach, which suits morning swims, sunset walks and a slower pace of life.
Modern condo buildings. Many projects in the area are newer high-rises with swimming pools, fitness centres, security and parking. Sea-view units on higher floors are especially popular.
Convenient for daily life. Supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and international hospitals are within easy reach, and Bangkok is roughly two hours away by road.
A strong long-stay community. Wongamat attracts residents from Europe, Asia and beyond, so it is easy to feel at home.
Popular Wongamat condos to consider
These three buildings are among the most popular in Wongamat, and each has rental units listed with Golden Bay Real Estate. Each listing page shows photos, unit types and current availability.
- Laguna Heights Condominium. Popular with long-stay residents who value sea views and a comfortable, community-style building. It also has the widest choice of rental units on our website, from studios to two-bedroom sea-view apartments.
- Northpoint. One of the best-known beachfront towers in Wongamat, with several rental units listed and a good choice of layouts for couples and small families.
- The Palm Wongamat. A beachfront high-rise with resort-style facilities, ideal for renters who want to step straight from the building onto the sand.
We also have rental listings in other Wongamat buildings, including Zire Wongamat, Ananya Beachfront and Lumpini Ville Naklua, so we can widen the search if none of these is the right fit. The right choice depends on your budget, the view you want, the unit size and the facilities that matter most to you. A local agent can arrange back-to-back viewings so you can compare buildings in a single day.
Studio, one-bedroom or family unit?
Before you start viewings, it helps to decide how you will use the space. A studio suits solo renters and remote workers who spend much of the day out and about, while a one-bedroom unit gives you a separate living area that is far easier to work from at home. Couples staying for a year or more often find the extra room well worth the difference in rent.
Families and renters who host visitors regularly should look at two-bedroom units, which are available in several Wongamat buildings. Laguna Heights, for example, has two-bedroom sea-view units on its rental list. If you work from home, ask about internet options in the building and check that the unit has a quiet corner for a desk away from the pool deck.
Floor level matters too. Higher floors usually offer wider sea views and more breeze, while lower floors are quicker to reach and can come at a lower rent. Tell your agent which of these matters most to you, and they can build a shortlist of units around it. Corner units are also worth asking about, as they often have windows on two sides and more natural light.
Why renting before high season makes sense
- More availability. Owners who want their units filled before high season are often open to long-term tenants in the weeks before it starts.
- Better negotiating position. A 12 month lease agreed before the high season rush can be easier to agree on favourable terms.
- Less competition. From around November, demand from long-term renters rises, and the best sea-view units go quickly.
- See the building in real conditions. Viewing in the last weeks of the rainy season lets you check for leaks, drainage and how the building handles storms.
What to budget for
Condo rents in Wongamat depend on the building, the floor, the view and the unit size. Studio and one-bedroom units are the most common, with larger two and three bedroom units available in some projects. As a guide, a two-bedroom sea-view unit on the 8th floor of Laguna Heights is listed at around 30,000 baht per month. Beyond the monthly rent, most leases include:
- Security deposit. A minimum of two months’ rent.
- First month’s rent in advance. Paid at signing.
- Electricity and water are usually paid by the tenant. Ask whether the building charges the government rate or its own rate.
- Common area fees. Normally paid by the owner, but confirm this in the contract.
Tips before you sign
- Check the exact view. “Sea view” can mean a full panorama or a small side glimpse. See it in person.
- Ask about noise and construction. New projects are still being built in the area, so check what is planned nearby.
- Review building rules. Some condos have rules on pets, visitors or parking.
- Record the condition at move-in. A photo inventory protects your deposit.
