Analysis of premium property market in Bangkok and Pattaya 2025. REIC & Boris Fleiderwish data.

In 2025, the luxury real estate market in Thailand is experiencing a new growth wave — not due to political instability, but thanks to the LTR (Long-Term Resident) program, digitization, and global trust in Thailand’s property registration system.

According to the Real Estate Information Center (REIC), the share of foreign buyers in the premium segment has reached 38% — a record since 2010. In Bangkok and Pattaya, one in three units priced above 15 million THB (~425,000 USD) is purchased by a foreigner.

Who Is Buying Luxury Property in 2025?

  • LTR residents: investors, entrepreneurs, remote workers;
  • CIS citizens: Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia — 42% of all foreign buyers;
  • Middle East: UAE, Saudi Arabia — interest in EEC and airport projects;
  • China: more private investors via legal entities;
  • Europe & USA: digital nomads, retirees, families.

Luxury Prices (Q2 2025)

  • Development of metaverse showrooms for virtual viewings;
