Mario's verdict

Kamala if the buyer is yield-first and wants a compact walkable beach neighbourhood without the branded-resort price premium of Bang Tao Beach. Bang Tao Beach if the buyer wants beachfront access, short-let potential, or branded resale identity. Both clear 6.5 percent net yield in the right buildings.
