The luxury market in Bangkok is a growing trend. Wealthy individuals are moving into the city to take advantage of the luxury property boom happening in Bangkok. Luxury real estate has overtaken the initial trend of mass produced condos and apartments that flood Bangkok in recent years. This new trend has been influenced by the growing population of wealthy individuals and investors from both Thailand and abroad. Many foreign luxury buyers come from nearby countries such as China, Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong. Wealthy buyers in the UK and USA have also had their eyes on Bangkok’s new developments. There have been many recent developments as well as numerous upcoming projects to cater to the demand, such as Sukhothai, Magnolias, and 98 Wireless, and many developers are focusing on marketing to the overseas market.

It’s evident that the luxury trend will continue to grow, as Bangkok currently has many new projects under development and are expected to open within the next few years. These projects include at least eight new luxury hotels and approximately 20 new condominium buildings. These buildings will yield a total of over 2,000 new units to purchase or rent.

Wealthy buyers that are interested in luxury properties put more emphasis on the location, amenities and build quality rather than the price of a unit. The average price per square meter for recent luxury units in Bangkok is 200,000 THB [>6,500USD]. For super-luxury units, the starting price is closer to 300,000 THB [about 10,000USD]. Prices have continuously been increasing in recent years so newer developments are expected to be priced at least 10% higher. The highest price per sqm has been reached by the very prestigious flagship project of Sansiri at more than 700,000THB [>20,000USD] per sqm (98 Wireless project). This gives room for future luxury projects to add more budget into the design and other key features. It is expected prices to drop only within projects where a large amount of unsold inventory exists. Land prices are pushing up the cost to developers and thus price to buyers. We strongly advise you to consult our Bangkok property advisers to know get more details on this.

Even with increasing price tags, wealthy individuals continue to stimulate the demand for such properties. In 2017, almost 120,000 luxury units were available. Of these, an estimated 90,000 were occupied. This represents close to 80% occupancy rate in Bangkok for luxury properties. The majority of buyers remains Thai individuals that represents more than 80% of the total market for luxury properties. This shows the potential of growth among foreign property buyers in Bangkok. Our Bangkok property experts still see sustained demand within the luxury segment; especially for units priced within the range of 200,000THB [>6,500USD] to 300,000THB [10,000USD] per sqm. Those prices still remain relatively low when we compare with high end luxury properties in Hong Kong or Singapore where prices ranged between 750,000THB [25,000USD] and 1,050,000THB [35,000USD] per sqm or more.
