Investing in real estate in Thailand

How rental yields, capital growth, ownership rules and taxes work for high-end property in Thailand

This guide covers the high-end property market in Thailand: where rental demand comes from, what yields and price growth have typically been, how foreigners can own property, and which taxes apply. It is written for buyers who want rental income, long-term growth, or a second home outside their home country. Nothing in it is a promise of a return. Rents and property values can fall as well as rise.
