Thailand
Freehold condos for foreigners, 4.5–8.5% yields, DTA with Israel, cash market
Currency Risk
THB
THB 3,000,000 freehold condo (or registered leasehold) → a renewable 1-YEAR extension of stay (Non-B Investment). NOT permanent residency, NO work rights, NO path to citizenship. New regime (Oct 2025), operational friction. BOI LTR is a separate investment route, not property-alone. Indicative, not verified; not legal advice.

✅ Strengths
- ▸High gross yields 6–10% in Bangkok and resort areas
- ▸Low entry prices; strong tourist infrastructure
- ▸Established expat community with proven rental demand
⚠ Risks
- ▸Foreigners cannot own land — condo only (49% foreign quota)
- ▸Limited legal protections for landlords
- ▸Condo foreign-quota, title, and building-use rules require property-specific diligence
CASABROVA Verdict
Condo-led market with strong tourism demand; land-ownership and landlord-protection constraints require careful structuring.
French: Profile adjusted score 61.6 (rank #24).
Recommended Strategy
Bangkok Sukhumvit corridor for expat long lets; Phuket and Chiang Mai only after local STR and building-rule review.
Based on CASABROVA Waves 1–8, current to July 1, 2026. Not financial or legal advice.
