Thailand Property Market Statistics (2026)
Every statistic on this page comes from Brinkman Data’s own analysis — 3,353 Thai condo listings modelled for the yield-gap study and a hand-audited 169-listing Chiang Mai pull — not from recycled third-party reports. Each stat is written as a standalone, citable sentence with its sample size and source link. Journalists and bloggers: free to cite with attribution.

Foreigners can hold at most 49% of the saleable floor area of a Thai condominium building in freehold; the quota is tracked per building, which is why the same unit can be freehold-available in one tower and not the next.

Chiang Mai: median asking price per m², by area
From the 2026 hand-audited pull (n=169, family-size skew 60–160m²; asking prices, not closed prices). Santitham is published as an index against Nimman — its sample is too thin for a standalone median. Full ranking and verdicts: the best-areas guide.
| Area | Median asking ฿/m² | n |
|---|---|---|
| Nimman (Nimmanhaemin) | ฿80,500 | 26 |
| Jed Yod / Chang Phueak | ฿78,600 | 31 |
| Old City (inside the moat) | ฿64,700 | 3 |
| Hang Dong / Mae Hia | ฿58,600 | 16 |
| Riverside (Wat Ket) | ฿52,700 | 24 |
| Chang Khlan / Night Bazaar | ฿108,000 | 14 |
