Key Takeaways
- The seller and authority: contracting legal entity, authorized signatory and payment account; independently verify payment instructions.
- The project and unit: project registration and approvals, approved plans, unit number, floor, area definitions, inclusions and any amendments.
- Your ownership route: freehold or leasehold status for this unit, eligibility, foreign quota if relevant, registration evidence and the documents needed at transfer. Do not infer a buyer’s rights from a brochure or verbal assurance.
- Money and milestones: reservation refund conditions, contract deadline, payment schedule, late-payment terms, transfer charges and remedies for delay. Compare the offer with the contract, not only a sales summary.
- Use and management: building rules, pet terms, rental restrictions, operator agreement, management fee, termination terms and who bears repairs or vacancy costs.
A buyer-first comparison of The Title FIZZ in Kata and The Title KUARTZ in Karon: district fit, building scale, layouts, facilities and the checks to complete before reserving.
Short answer: FIZZ and KUARTZ are both new condominium projects by Rhom Bho Property under The Title brand, but they serve different location and product preferences. FIZZ is in Kata; KUARTZ is in Karon. FIZZ’s developer brochure describes 135 homes in one residential building plus a separate facilities building, while KUARTZ’s brochure describes 189 homes in two seven-storey buildings. Neither unit count, amenity list nor beach setting proves rental income or resale demand. Choose by testing the exact unit, intended use, ownership route, total cost and contract terms—not by comparing a headline price or a render.
Start with the decision, not the project name
This guide is for buyers shortlisting the two projects for personal use, a Phuket base, or a possible rental investment. It does not declare a universal winner. A buyer who wants one particular beach community may value a different daily routine from an owner who prioritizes a specific floor plan, accessibility, or a management arrangement. First write down which of those outcomes matters most and what would make you reject a unit.
The projects are not interchangeable simply because the same developer and brand appear on both. Kata and Karon are separate west-coast districts, and the immediate surroundings, routes, topography, services and seasonal feel should be checked in person. Use the Kata district guide and Karon district guide as starting points, then visit the exact access road and building site at different times of day. A map pin cannot tell you whether the daily route suits your household.
What the source documents say—and what they do not
Rhom Bho’s official The Title project portal currently lists FIZZ in Kata and KUARTZ in Karon as new projects. The company’s investor-relations site identifies Rhom Bho Property as the company behind The Title brand. The project details below come from the developer brochures held in the project source files: FIZZ brochure and KUARTZ brochure. These are marketing and design materials, not a substitute for the signed sale contract, approved plans, title documents or current unit sheet.
| Buyer question | The Title FIZZ, Kata | The Title KUARTZ, Karon | What to verify for your unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project scale | 135 residences; one seven-storey residential building and a separate three-storey facilities building | 189 residences; two seven-storey residential buildings | Latest approved plans, building and unit identifiers, what is shared, and any change from brochure |
| Facilities | Brochure lists 25 facility spaces, including a 25-metre lap pool, children’s pool, coworking, gym, sauna and pet areas | Brochure lists 23 facilities, including pool and rooftop areas, coworking, children’s spaces and a pet area | Which facilities are completed, included in common property, open to this unit, and subject to operating rules or fees |
| Unit mix | Brochure includes one-bedroom, one-bedroom-plus, two-bedroom and penthouse configurations | Brochure includes one-bedroom, one-bedroom-plus, two-bedroom and penthouse configurations | Usable indoor area versus private roof/terrace area; furniture, orientation, storage, parking and actual plan revision |
| Local setting | Kata | Karon | Walk the route, assess hills and crossings, check services and transport, and assess noise and construction nearby |
| Pricing and availability | Must be confirmed from a current, dated unit-level offer | Must be confirmed from a current, dated unit-level offer | Written net price, unit status, discounts, payment milestones, fees, quota and offer expiry |
Counts and amenity totals are useful for understanding the design brief; they do not tell you whether a particular facility will operate as pictured or how much it will cost to maintain. The brochures do not establish the live availability of any unit. The price material on file is not enough to present an active offer. Ask for a dated unit sheet and a written explanation of every cost before treating a figure as current.
Choose Kata or Karon by testing your real routine
Do not decide based on broad labels such as “more lively,” “more private” or “better for investment.” Those are conclusions that depend on the street, travel pattern and season. Make a short visit plan: arrive from the route you would actually use, walk to the places you expect to visit, inspect nearby services, and return after dark. If your intended use is mostly remote work, examine internet options, noise and workspace needs. For family use, check access, storage, lift arrangements, pool rules and the route to routine services. For holiday use, ask who will control guest access, cleaning, repairs and check-in.
Compare the unit as carefully as the district. A higher floor may affect your comfort in wind or heat; orientation affects daylight and privacy; a penthouse’s private rooftop area may be separate from the indoor usable-area figure. Do not compare two advertised square-metre figures until the same area definitions are used. Ask the sales team to mark the exact unit and its included areas on the approved plan. Then visit the site and determine whether the view is protected, merely expected, or could change with future construction.
Compare facilities as operating commitments, not sales adjectives
Both brochures devote attention to lifestyle facilities. That can be valuable for an owner who will use them, but it also creates maintenance, staffing, insurance and replacement needs. Request the draft condominium rules and the latest explanation of the common-area budget. Ask how the facilities are allocated between buildings, whether access is restricted, what opening hours are planned, and who pays for long-term repairs. If a pool, gym or shared work area is central to your decision, ask what is included in the contract documents and what remains a design intention.
Pet language needs the same precision. The FIZZ materials describe a pet-friendly concept; request the final written rules for size, registration, lifts, common spaces and noise. KUARTZ’s master-plan material identifies Building A as pet-friendly. That is not the same as saying every building or every unit has identical pet rights. Ask for the project’s binding rules and the unit’s applicable section before paying a reservation deposit.
Run one like-for-like cost comparison
For each shortlisted unit, request a written calculation that separates the purchase price from all other amounts. Include reservation and contract payments, transfer-related costs, any common-area or sinking-fund contributions, utility deposits, furnishing, insurance, management and bank charges. Do not assume the buyer or seller pays a given charge until the draft contract and current rules say so. A price sheet is not a complete cost statement.
For a rental case, model no guaranteed occupancy or return. List monthly and one-off costs, realistic time out of service, management deductions, repairs, cleaning, platform charges, utilities and tax/accounting advice. Ask which party carries each cost and what happens if the unit is not eligible for the rental plan you intended. A gross revenue illustration from a sales presentation is not a forecast of net proceeds. See Phuket Stay Pro’s property management service to understand what operational support you can request, and have a Thai lawyer independently assess permissions and contractual terms.
Due diligence before you reserve
Before signing or transferring money, request the exact unit’s latest dated offer and verify:
- The seller and authority: contracting legal entity, authorized signatory and payment account; independently verify payment instructions.
- The project and unit: project registration and approvals, approved plans, unit number, floor, area definitions, inclusions and any amendments.
- Your ownership route: freehold or leasehold status for this unit, eligibility, foreign quota if relevant, registration evidence and the documents needed at transfer. Do not infer a buyer’s rights from a brochure or verbal assurance.
- Money and milestones: reservation refund conditions, contract deadline, payment schedule, late-payment terms, transfer charges and remedies for delay. Compare the offer with the contract, not only a sales summary.
- Use and management: building rules, pet terms, rental restrictions, operator agreement, management fee, termination terms and who bears repairs or vacancy costs.
- Completion and handover: contractual completion date, permitted extensions, inspection process, defects list, utility connections, common-area handover and remedies. A marketing target is not automatically a contractual deadline.
- Exit and resale: transfer procedure, ongoing obligations, fees and restrictions. Ask what can be transferred, to whom, and which approvals or documents are required.
If documents are missing or answers conflict, pause the reservation. Ask for a written correction. Use an independent Thai property lawyer for ownership, contract, permitting and rental-law questions. Phuket Stay Pro can help you organize the shortlist and request the unit documents, but a property adviser does not replace independent legal advice.
Which buyer might prefer each project?
FIZZ may merit closer inspection if you want the Kata setting, its one-building residential layout with a separate facilities building, or a layout that appears in its brochure and fits your actual household. KUARTZ may suit a buyer whose preferred daily setting is Karon or whose unit choice and building arrangement fit better. These are screening observations, not recommendations about value, appreciation or liquidity. Only a verified unit comparison can support those decisions.
The more important distinction may be between specific units rather than between project brands: one unit might have a usable layout, orientation and contract that fit, while another in the same project does not. Compare unit numbers side by side, not just two marketing pages. If neither survives checks on total cost, ownership, intended use and exit options, the best choice can be to wait or expand the shortlist.
A practical shortlist sheet
Record these items for both candidates on the same date: building and unit number; floor; indoor and any private outdoor area separately; orientation; view status; dated net purchase offer; payment milestones; every known fee; written ownership and quota confirmation; rules on pets and letting; management terms; contractual completion and delay clause; repair and common-area budget; and your own visit notes. Mark each item documented, verbally stated or not yet confirmed. A comparison is only as reliable as its weakest unverified assumption.
The next step
Send Phuket Stay Pro the two unit numbers, your preferred district, intended use, budget range, expected holding period and any ownership or rental questions. We can help you compare the unit-level documents and arrange the next buyer checks. Start with our Phuket buying guide, The Title developer profile and off-plan FIZZ details or KUARTZ details.

Fact-check note (reviewed 3 November 2026): Project names, districts and design counts are checked against the developer portal and the brochures linked above. Prices, specific unit availability, foreign quota, permitted use, ownership eligibility, current rules, fees, contractual completion and rental terms are unit-specific or changeable; confirm them in current written documents with the developer, a Thai lawyer and relevant authorities before acting. Amenity renderings and brochure text do not guarantee final operation or net investment performance.
