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, plus per-area asking-price tables for Chiang Mai, Bangkok and Phuket from the validated 2026 pulls — 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 — bio, headshot and approved facts in the press kit.

Phuket condos advertised a median 6.7% gross yield in the 2026 dataset; the modelled net figure after the full cost stack is 4.3%. The island prices catchment by catchment, not as one market — the Phuket area-by-area breakdown ranks all eight.

Thonglor / Ekkamai ranks first of eight Bangkok catchments in Brinkman Data’s 2026 area analysis, at a median asking price of 6.00M THB in the 3–12M band — a scarcity-anchored market where the analysis band clips the top end.

Phuket Town is the island’s cheapest validated condo entry point in the 2026 analysis: a median asking price of 4.26M THB and roughly 96,900 THB per square metre (n=266) — with a resale market that leans domestic rather than foreign.

Thalang / Airport Corridor is where Phuket’s new condo supply is landing: roughly 119,000 THB per square metre at the median (n=137) in the validated 2026 cut — the island’s second-largest listing bucket after Phuket Town.

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.

Bangkok: median asking price by area (3–12M THB band)

From the 2026 rent-validated cut (1,072 of 2,092 listings validated). Asking prices, not closed prices. Full ranking, method and per-area verdicts: the Bangkok best-areas guide.

// Building level

This table is the area-level picture. The Bangkok Condo Buyer’s Guide is the building-level one, built from the same rent-validated cut: 89 named buildings, 907 validated units, every column filled, and a written account of the 13 buildings that were dropped.

Phuket: median asking price by area (3–12M THB band)

Every resale listing in the 3–12M THB eligible band from the 2026 Phuket pull — 6,171 listings across 8 areas, with distinct buildings counted separately. Asking prices, not achieved. Full ranking and verdicts: the Phuket best-areas guide.

Computed from the full 2026 Phuket pull rather than a validated subset, so every area above rests on 79 buildings or more. Per-building detail — named buildings, validated rents and confidence tiers — is not published here.

Pattaya: median asking price by tambon

The 2026 Pattaya pull returned 8,125 rows, which deduplicate to 4,903 distinct listings across 320 named buildings, capped at ฿12,000,000. Median asking price city-wide is ฿4,310,000. By tambon: Nong Prue ฿4,322,958 across 3,983 listings in 242 buildings, which is where Pratumnak and much of Jomtien sit, and Na Kluea / Wongamat ฿4,147,050 across 854 listings in 56 buildings. Asking prices, not achieved. Nong Pla Lai and Sattahip returned four listings each and carry no published median. Full per-area tables, price bands and the thin-sample disclosures: Pattaya condo prices by area; the catchment ranking is best areas to buy in Pattaya, and the market-level counts behind both are in the Pattaya property market for 2026.
