Foreign buyers of Thai condominiums, by nationality: questions

Which nationality buys the most property in Thailand?

Chinese buyers, by a wide margin: 4,940 of the 14,899 condominium units transferred to foreigners in 2025.

Is foreign demand for Thai property falling?

Unit transfers fell 8.8% in the first half of 2026 against a year earlier, while value fell only 1.5%, so buyers bought fewer, larger or more expensive units.
