* Median property price: approximately US$241,500 (FazWaz, 2025)
l Pattaya, Jomtien, and Pratamnak range from 100,000 to 150,000 baht per square metre. A typical unit costs around 3.6 million baht (approximately US$115,000).
Russian and Chinese buyers have kept certain segments active, and gross yields of 5% to 7% make Pattaya a credible income play for buyers focused on short-let returns.
The price of a house in Thailand’s coastal resort markets rarely gets cheaper than this, which is why yield-focused buyers keep returning to the Jomtien and Pratamnak corridors specifically.
The spread within the market is wide, and a modern, well-managed building and a dated high-rise two streets away can differ by 30% to 40% per square metre even in the same postcode. Building quality and management matter more here than in any other Thai market, and it is worth doing the research before committing.

* Median property price: approximately US$241,500 (FazWaz, 2025)
* Median price per sqm: approximately US$2,100 (approximately 66,000 baht)
* Gross rental yield: 5% to 7% across both condos and villas
* Market condition: stable; driven by retirees and long-stay expats
Hua Hin is the most underpriced lifestyle market in Thailand relative to what it offers, with the median property price sitting at approximately US$241,500 and a median per-square-metre rate of around US$2,100 (approximately 66,000 baht), per FazWaz 2025 market data.
Both figures put it well below Bangkok and Phuket, with studios available from around 2.5 million baht and mid-range villas starting at roughly 8 million to 12 million baht
The comparison most Bangkok buyers stop at is the same-budget test. Around 15 million baht gets an 80 to 90 square metre condo in central Bangkok, while in Hua Hin the same money buys a three to four-bedroom pool villa.
Rental yields on both condos and villas run 5% to 7%, which is an unusual parity between property types, and demand is driven by foreign retirees and expat professionals who want a functional beach town with hospital access and a quieter pace, not a resort premium.
Infrastructure is improving too, with the Rama II expressway upgrade and an international airport project both in progress, pointing to a considerably better-connected Hua Hin by the end of the decade. View properties for sale in Hua Hin listed by FazWaz Chiang Mai house prices

* Median condo price: approximately 58,000 to 63,000 baht per sqm
* Typical condo unit price: approximately 3 million baht (US$85,000)
* Houses: approximately 25,000 baht per sqm; typical unit around 5 million baht
* Gross rental yield: 5% to 7%
* Market condition: stable; slowest capital appreciation of the six markets
Chiang Mai has the lowest house prices in Thailand among the major buyer destinations, and the gap to Bangkok or Phuket is not marginal.
Condos average approximately 58,000 to 63,000 baht per square metre with a typical unit price around 3 million baht (US$85,000), and houses and landed property average around 25,000 baht per square metre, roughly 5 million baht for a standard detached home.
Capital appreciation is slower than in coastal markets, and the buyer base is mostly digital nomads, retirees, and expats choosing a lower cost of living over proximity to a business district or beach.
Chiang Mai has good international hospital access, a homely community and a walkable old city that regularly ranks among the most liveable destinations in Southeast Asia for location-independent residents.
Buyers whose priority is usable space at a manageable entry price, with no particular interest in yield or quick resale, will fi[...]
