Yes. Foreigners can own condominium units in Thailand in their own name, provided the foreign ownership quota (49% of total unit space) in the building has not been reached. No special visa or work permit is required to purchase. ### What is the average condo price in Bangkok? Prices vary widely by location. Budget condos along outer BTS/MRT lines start around 60,000–80,000 THB per sqm, mid-range areas average 100,000–160,000 THB/sqm, and luxury central Bangkok condos range from 180,000 to over 300,000 THB/sqm. ### Which Bangkok area has the best rental yield? This guide does not have sufficiently current, comparable rental and sale data to rank Bangkok areas by investment yield. Check the rent and purchase price for the same unit or genuinely comparable units, and account for vacancy and ownership and operating costs. Ratios from unmatched rental and sale listings are not a forecast of your return.
