Thailand

Thailand's appeal has always been straightforward: dependable tourist demand feeding short-term rental yields that outperform most developed markets. Bangkok anchors the market with scale and liquidity, while Phuket and Koh Samui add resort-driven economics.

Key numbers

Legal framework

Foreign buyers can hold freehold title on up to 49% of the units in a condominium project, with the remainder available on regulated long-term leasehold — a well-tested structure with decades of precedent.

Why we like this market

• Occupancy driven by a tourism base that has proven resilient across multiple cycles.
• A freehold quota that's well understood and heavily precedented, unlike some newer regional markets.
• Entry prices that remain accessible relative to the yield on offer.
