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.

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.
