The project spans a vast area of 226 rai, featuring a 30 rai lake at its center. Surrounded by the UNESCO World Heritage-designated Khao Yai National Park, this project offers a residential experience that is closest to nature. Plans are underway to launch fully furnished 3 and 4-bedroom pool villas, totaling 21 units, along with 16 low-rise condominium buildings comprising 1, 2, and 3-bedroom units in the first phase, providing exclusive privileges and a superior lifestyle from the Banyan Tree group. The two companies aim to elevate the luxurious living experience amidst the lush mountain scenery and unique nature of Thailand.

We are set to present the ultimate in luxury living, which will include luxury villas, condominiums, hotels, and Veya Wellness Resort. We understand that for many, a home is not just a place to live; it must reflect the beauty of a life filled with value.

Owners of residences in the Banyan Tree Residence Creston Hill project will enjoy exclusive benefits as members through the Banyan Tree group’s exclusive membership program, “The Sanctuary Club,” which offers special privileges and discounts when utilizing services across the Banyan Tree network worldwide.

Mr. Stuart Reading, Managing Director of Banyan Tree Group's Real Estate Development, said, “The Branded Residences market in Thailand is experiencing continuous growth. The area surrounding Khao Yai National Park is highly promising and has been a prime location for the domestic market for many years. With only 200 kilometers from Bangkok, visitors can experience abundant nature, adventure tourism, and fresh air. Khao Yai has long been a destination for Thai people to escape the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. Banyan Tree operates with a commitment to preserving the beautiful nature to drive sustainable development that is environmentally friendly in every area we serve. We adhere to our three missions: to stimulate the economy, create value for society, and ensure environmental responsibility.”

The villas in the Banyan Tree Residence Creston Hill project come in 3 and 4-bedroom options, starting at 60 million baht, featuring spacious interiors designed for comfort, along with large outdoor terraces for residents to relax amidst the lush nature. Each villa is fully furnished and offers a secure investment with 5-star hotel management. Villa owners also enjoy special privileges for stays at Banyan Tree hotels worldwide. The pool villas are designed with tranquility and privacy in mind, maximizing aesthetic pleasure for residents by emphasizing designs that embrace the outdoors, including high windows and sliding glass doors. Each bedroom is designed with a private garden, allowing views of the greenery outside while relaxing indoors. The interior design of the villas uses colors that harmonize with the surrounding forest and the serene valley views outside.

Meanwhile, the condominiums offer privacy for residents, providing the ultimate relaxation with breathtaking panoramic views of the mountains and lake. Residents can choose from 1, 2, or 3-bedroom units, with sizes ranging from 64 to 295 square meters, starting at 15 million baht. They are equipped with numerous amenities, including a swimming pool designed to extend from the balcony, spacious terraces for 3-bedroom units, and private rooftop gardens for penthouse units. The condominiums are suitable for both residential and vacation homes. Additionally, they come with furniture packages and other real estate services, including rental and maintenance.

Banyan Tree Residence Creston Hill is meticulously designed to cater to diverse needs and lifestyles, offering a new definition of luxury living. Mr. Stuart Reading explained, “We provide customers the opportunity to invest, to have a second home, or a vacation home. Owners of our residences can be confident in the highest standards of living under the Banyan Tree brand. We present high-quality projects for a complete lifestyle with numerous amenities, along with a dedicated team to assist throughout the residency, ensuring that owners enjoy hassle-free property management alongside project maintenance for future resale value.”

“Moreover, project owners will enjoy the privilege of being members of The Sanctuary Club, a signature program that offers numerous benefits, such as special discounts for stays at Banyan Tree properties worldwide, priority booking, early check-in, late check-out, and exclusive invitations through the Xperential Guest program. Additionally, we have a multilingual service team and offer special deals for new projects to elevate the living experience further. Banyan Tree is committed to integrating a superior lifestyle with the beautiful nature of each area.”

The highlight of this project is its location, surrounded by the beautiful Khao Yai National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The park encompasses over 2,000 square kilometers of grasslands and lush rainforests, home to diverse wildlife and exciting adventure activities. The average temperature here is comfortably cool at 21°C year-round, warming slightly to about 26-27°C in May, while December and January may see temperatures drop below 10°C. Nearby, there are four golf courses for golf enthusiasts, along with various recreational activities to enjoy, such as hiking in the national park, bird watching, or visiting trendy cafes, as well as fun activities like stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking on Creston Hill Lake—all just 200 kilometers from Bangkok.

This project is fully equipped with infrastructure, including underground electricity, water supply, roads, drainage systems, and CCTV, designed for an exclusive living experience. It is also adjacent to the luxurious gated community of Creston Hill. The project’s location is easily accessible via the new motorway, significantly reducing travel time from Bangkok, attracting both Thai and international tourists, as well as those seeking residential or vacation homes.

Banyan Tree Residence Creston Hill aims to attract primarily Thai buyers, followed by foreigners, as Khao Yai is becoming recognized as a world-class vacation destination. This aligns with the real estate trends in Thailand for 2023, where the residential real estate market is continuously growing, supported by economic growth and urban expansion. The housing market in six key provinces, including Nakhon Ratchasima, where Khao Yai is located, is expected to strengthen from 2023 to 2025, driven by positive factors such as economic recovery, infrastructure investment, and the forecast that international tourist numbers will return to pre-COVID-19 levels by 2025. The real estate market in Nakhon Ratchasima and Khao Yai is bolstered by its role as a regional hub and infrastructure developments, such as motorways and high-speed rail, which will lead to increased sales of vacation homes in the future.

This masterpiece project not only offers residences but also provides a perfect lifestyle experience that blends luxury, beautiful nature, and balanced living. With its proximity to the stunning Khao Yai National Park, combined with excellent amenities, the project sets a new standard for Thailand in both the real estate and hospitality industries. The launch of this project this year comes at an opportune time, with a favorable economy and current market trends. This project offers an excellent investment opportunity under the development and management of two industry-recognized brands, as the Thai real estate market grows from economic recovery and the resurgence of tourism. Banyan Tree Residence Creston Hill is thus a significant project in the Thai real estate sector.

“We are not just offering luxurious residences; we are also providing valuable investment opportunities for the future. Our project reflects a superior lifestyle and a meaningful life amidst nature,” Mr. Chayadit concluded.
