Trichada Essence is a development of 25 single-storey pool villas in the Pasak area of Cherng Talay, Thalang, on Phuket’s west coast, about 5.4 km from Layan Beach. It is the newest project by Trichada, the villa developer behind the earlier Trichada developments in the area, which is why many buyers simply search for Trichada villas. Portals list the developer company as Bangtao Paradise Construction.
Each villa has 3 or 4 bedrooms, 221 to 408 m² of built area, a private pool and parking. The villas are single-storey, with a long pitched roof over the living and dining room and fibre-optic internet. Prices are on request.
About the developer
Trichada’s founder has built villas in Phuket since 2003, first as a director and shareholder of Sai Taan, where 75 villas were completed. Trichada was launched in 2014 with many of the same construction team. According to the developer, 132 villas were sold across five earlier Trichada developments, and the previous projects were completed by May 2024.

Buying at Trichada Essence as a foreigner
Ownership. Foreigners cannot own land freehold in Thailand. A villa like this is usually bought with a registered land lease, typically 30 years, recorded at the Land Office, while the house itself is registered in the buyer’s name. Any further lease terms are contractual, so their wording matters. Ask an independent Thai property lawyer to review the lease, the sale agreement and the title before you sign.
Reservation and stage payments. You reserve a villa with a booking deposit, sign the main agreements, and pay in stages as construction progresses, with the final payment at handover (see the payment plan above).
Money from abroad. Send the purchase money from abroad in the buyer’s name through a Thai bank and keep every bank record; your lawyer will tell you which documents the Land Office needs.
Costs at the Land Office. A lease registration usually costs 1% of the total lease rent plus 0.1% stamp duty. Transfer of the building usually involves a 2% transfer fee, a 3.3% specific business tax or 0.5% stamp duty, and withholding tax. Who pays what is agreed in the contract.
Trichada Essence price list 2026

For each villa it shows the plot (370 m² to 907 m² according to the developer’s brochure), the price and whether the villa is still available. Prices are the developer’s and change between releases.

Trichada Essence floor plans
All villas are single-storey, with a private pool and parking. The 3 bedroom villa has 221 m² of built area and the 4 bedroom villa 399 m² to 408 m². The brochure gives internal living areas of 121 m² to 227 m². Ask us for the villa plans and the master plan showing which plots are still free.
Trichada Essence resale and completed villas
Portals disagree on the construction status, so we confirm with the developer which villas are finished before we send the list. If you prefer a finished house, ask us about resale: an owner usually sells by transferring the registered land lease and the house, both recorded at the Land Office, and your lawyer should check both. For a villa still under construction, the contract can pass to a new buyer only if the developer allows it, under its rules and fees. We tell you what is offered at the time.
