Process of Buying a Property for Sale in Thailand

Eager to start the process of acquiring a property in Thailand?

First things first: The Land Code of Thailand prohibits foreign nationals from buying or developing properties in the country. However, foreigners can acquire their villa, condominium, or any other real estate property in Thailand using one of these two ways:

Option #1 – Long-term contract with leasehold

The first option is for a foreign national to have a lease contract covering a term of 30 years. This contract is renewable or extendable up to twice, so that the property is held for a maximum total of 90 years. This option is frequently called the 30+30+30 lease contract.

The foreign national owner is treated as the owner of the property during the entire period stipulated in the contract. However, once the leasehold’s contract ends, the foreigner will automatically lose his or her ownership rights since the material asset will be taken out from the estate.

Option #2 – Using a company with limited liability

This alternative is for property buyers with bigger financial capabilities. They can buy a property for sale in Thailand by establishing a limited liability company in the country. That company will be treated as the owner of the property that will be registered under its name.

There can be two or more shareholders with foreign nationalities, and they can own a maximum of 49 percent of the property’s area. A foreign national can act as the company’s managing director, therefore wielding power over votes as well as other shares, in addition to control of the property.

Bonus Option – Finally, a quicker and easier way to buy a property for sale in Thailand is through marriage to a Thai national, since the real estate will be considered as conjugal property.

The Best Locations of Properties for Sale in Thailand

“Location, location, location.” This popular line was coined in 1944 but remains true up to present time.

It’s crucial to buy a Thailand property for sale in a great location. No matter what purpose it will serve—whether it will be your rental property, Thailand vacation place, or own home, or investment for capital appreciation purposes—selecting the right location truly matters.

Here’s some great news: Thailand has tons of properties for sale in wonderful locations: from busy Bangkok, to serene Phuket, stunning Chiang Mai, exciting Pattaya, breathtaking Koh Samui, and many more. You can find a location that suits your unique preferences and buying objectives.

In choosing where you’ll acquire a property for sale in Thailand, we often advise clients to ask themselves questions like these:

1. “Would you rather stay in a posh condo in the city or a quiet villa by the sea?”

2. “Do you prefer living alone in a 1-bedroom apartment, or are you moving to Thailand with your family of four?”

3. “Do you want access to the beach everyday—or would you rather be near a supermarket or mall?”

By answering questions like these, you can gradually shortlist the top locations for you to find your ideal Thailand property. Then you can further shorten your list by looking at the ones that fit your budget, preferred design and amenities, and so on.

Here are some of the most popular locations that Conrad Properties’s clients consider when searching for a property for sale in Thailand:

1. Bangkok: The capital of Thailand, Bangkok is an amazing melting pot, not just of cultures, but also of contemporary Thai lifestyle, city pleasures, and rich Thai culture. The city has tons of everything: malls, restaurants, hospitals, schools, and all the other things that you’ll find in any modern urban city.

Bangkok’s commendable healthcare, museums, temples, and other sites make it an indispensable site for tourism, welcoming a whopping 25.85 million tourists in 2019. The city has an abundance of top-rated hotels and resorts, and makes moving around easy via its BTS SkyTrain and Nana Station.

Nearly all international brands can be found in Bangkok—from fast food chains and restaurants, to leading fashion brands, makeup giants, tech firms, and more—enabling practically anyone from anywhere to quickly feel at home.

For property investors, you’ll be pleased to know that there are thousands of competitively-priced properties for sale in Thailand that are in Bangkok.

2. Chiang Mai: One of the country’s cultural hubs, Chiang Mai’s cooler climate (compared to other places in Thailand) make it more appealing to many foreign buyers.

Despite (or perhaps because of) its cooler ambiance, it’s one of the leading destinations for backpackers and trackers in the country. Residents and tourists can enjoy its beautiful botanical gardens, hill tribe villages, and various fun activities such as river rafting and elephant riding.

Getting into and out of Chiang Mai is a breeze, thanks to the Chiang Mai International Airport (CMX), which is just 10 minutes away from Chiang Mai City. It welcomes both domestic and international flights.

3. Phuket: The biggest island in ‘The Land of Smiles’, Phuket features many gorgeous attractions, such as pristine white sand beaches, stunning coves, and breathtaking bays. It also serves as home to thousands of properties for sale in Thailand—largely due to the international allure of its scenic beaches and majestic views of the sea.

You can enjoy kayaking along the Bang Rong mangroves, surfing, diving, beautiful sunsets, and more—everyday if you wish, if you buy a property for sale in Phuket, Thailand.

4. Koh Samui: Compared to Phuket, development started a bit later in Koh Samui, so most parts of this resort island are still undeveloped. Hence, property prices in this area are quite competitive, but you can expect them to go higher in the near future as it undergoes more development.

Koh Samui is Thailand's second largest island and is home to numerous high-end resorts, luxury spas, and other wonderful amenities. Here you’ll also find Namuang Waterfall, the Wat Plai Laem, Ang Thong Marine National Park, the rock formations of Hin Yai and Hin Ta, and other popular sites.

When you buy a property for sale in Thailand that’s in Koh Samui, you can go scuba diving, sailing, snorkeling, and even jungle trekking every single day if you wish.

5. Koh Phangan: Perhaps most known for its monthly Full Moon Party at Haad Rin Beach—which attracts around 30,000 people (the majority of which are tourists) per year—is one of the country’s fast developing areas. Koh Phangan is also known in the country for having 80 square kilometers of virgin rainforest.

Party and forest aside, Koh Phangan also attracts property investors with its white sand beaches and numerous diving sites (it has over 20). Kayaking, snorkeling, offshore sandbars, spas, and meditation all likewise contribute to the undeniable charm of Koh Phangan.

6. Pattaya: Many younger property investors (as well as young at heart ones) consider buying a Thai property for sale in Pattaya. After all, this is a popular site for festivals, disco dancing, and practically all other types of partying.

Found on the east coast of Thailand Gulf, Pattaya has numerous fine dining restaurants, bars, gaming sites, and various other opportunities for socializing.

Its location near Bangkok also helps, as well as its reputation as a golfing center: it has a handful of designer golf courses, some with amazing views of Pattaya Bay. It also has shopping malls, resort hotels, high-rise condos, and more.

7. Hua Hin: Last in our list is Hua Hin, which—like Pattaya—is just a short drive away from Bangkok. This beach resort town is considered an investment and golfing center. It’s connected with the country’s royal family and well-known by locals as a tranquil seaside resort, perfect for families and other vacationers.

Although it’s not (yet) as popular as the previously mentioned areas, Hua Hin is slowly building its name as a top choice when it comes to sites of properties for sale in Thailand.
