Property in Thailand

Apartments, residential projects and developers in the regions we cover

The catalog follows one logic: country → region → district → project → individual unit. Start at the top, drill down to a district and a project, and you land on a unit with its price, floor, size and ownership type.

This page carries country-level matters only: where listings are available, which property types exist, how ownership works for a foreign buyer and what a deal involves. Project prices, district detail and unit specifics live one level down, in their own pages.

The figures below are calculated from published listings and change together with the catalog.

Country data

Catalog in numbers

Regions

A region is the next level after the country: each has its own districts, its own market and its own projects. Only regions with published listings are shown below.

Pattaya districts

Property types

The type is set on the listing itself, so the list below is a snapshot of the live catalog rather than a fixed rubricator.

Prices

The minimum price is calculated from published sale listings and updates with the catalog. Deals settle in Thai baht — amounts shown in other currencies are indicative, converted at the current rate.

Developers

A developer is a separate entity in the catalog: one record for the whole country, even when its projects sit in different regions. There is no need to duplicate the same developer per region.

Buying as a foreigner

Condominium unit

A foreigner can hold a condominium unit in full ownership (Foreign Freehold) within the building’s foreign quota — up to 49% of the total residential floor area. The basis is Thailand’s Condominium Act B.E. 2522 as amended.

Land

As a general rule a foreigner may not own land. The market uses a long-term lease of the plot or a Thai legal entity; statutory exceptions exist, but their applicability is checked case by case.

Leasehold

A long-term lease is registered with the Land Department for up to 30 years, with renewal set out in the contract. It is not ownership: the scope of rights on resale and inheritance differs from freehold.

Foreign and Thai quota

The same unit may be sold within the foreign or the Thai quota. The quota affects both the registration route and the pool of buyers on resale.

Rules and rates change. Before a deal we verify the current requirements for the specific property and state the source.

How a purchase runs

  1. Region. Markets, seasonality and price levels differ by region — the search starts here.
  2. District. Within a region, districts differ in development, infrastructure and rental demand.
  3. Project. The development itself: developer, construction stage, facilities and house rules.
  4. Layout. The unit type: studio, one or more bedrooms, size and position in the building.
  5. The specific offer. Floor, view, ownership type, status and price.
  6. Checking the terms. Property documents, quota, payment schedule and how costs are split.
  7. Completion. Contract, transfer of funds and registration of the transfer at the Land Department.

Frequently asked questions

Can a foreigner buy property in Thailand?

A condominium unit — yes, in full ownership within the building’s foreign quota (up to 49% of the total residential floor area). Land and houses follow a different route: a long-term lease or a Thai legal entity. Source: Department of Lands, Thailand · Verified: 2026-08-21

Can a foreigner own land?

As a general rule, no. Land under a house or villa is held through a long-term lease or by a Thai legal entity. Statutory exceptions exist, but each is checked separately for the specific deal. Source: Department of Lands, Thailand · Verified: 2026-08-21

What is the difference between Freehold and Leasehold?

Freehold is perpetual ownership recorded on the title. Leasehold is a registered lease of up to 30 years, renewable under the contract. They differ not only in term but in the scope of rights on resale and inheritance.

What costs come on top of the price?

Registration fees and transfer taxes, plus a sinking-fund contribution in condominiums. Who pays what is set by the contract — costs are often split between the parties. Exact amounts are calculated per property at the date of the deal. Source: The Revenue Department, Thailand · Verified: 2026-08-21

Can property be bought remotely?

Yes. Viewings run by video, while signing and registration go through a representative acting under a notarised power of attorney. The document set and the route for transferring funds depend on the property and the bank, so they are agreed in advance.
