Таиланд
Foreign buyers are strengthening their presence in Thailand’s property market. The greatest interest is concentrated in Bangkok and popular resort destinations, including Phuket, Pattaya and Krabi.
According to representatives of the Thai property market, average rental yields in Pattaya are approximately 8–9% per year, while properties in Phuket can generate 8–10%. By comparison, rental yields in many major cities around the world range from 2% to 5%.
High returns are supported by steady tourist flows and growing demand for long-term accommodation. Foreign buyers consider property in Thailand not only as a place for holidays or relocation but also as a source of regular rental income.
Phuket attracts investors with its developed resort infrastructure, international schools, medical facilities and wide selection of premium projects. Pattaya maintains its position due to year-round tourist demand, transport accessibility and the variety of properties available for short-term and long-term rentals. Interest in Krabi is also gradually increasing, supported by its natural attractions and developing tourism infrastructure.
Amid declining domestic purchasing power, Thai developers are increasingly targeting international buyers. Particular attention is being given to luxury and ultra-luxury projects designed for affluent buyers and international investors.
Thailand’s additional advantages include a relatively affordable cost of living, a developed service sector, high-quality healthcare, a favourable climate and the country’s popularity among tourists. These factors support demand for resort property and contribute to the growth of the rental market.
However, the actual return on an individual property depends on its location, purchase price, seasonality, management expenses and occupancy rate. The stated yields of 8–10% are average estimates provided by market participants and do not represent guaranteed returns.
Growing international demand is strengthening the position of Phuket and Pattaya as key destinations for property investment in Thailand and encouraging the development of new projects designed for rental and long-term residence.
