BUYING A CONDO IN BANGKOK

The Complete Legal Guide for Foreign Buyers

Last Updated: June 2026 · By Khun Somchai, Property Lawyer

As a foreign national, your options for owning property in Thailand are more limited than you might expect — but there is one clear exception. Foreigners can legally own a condominium unit freehold in their own name, provided the building meets the requirements of the Condominium Act.

The 49% Foreign Quota: Thai law limits foreign ownership to no more than 49% of the total sellable floor area in any single condominium building. Always confirm a unit is within quota before proceeding.

Bangkok has no shortage of options: from luxury high-rises in Sukhumvit to quieter riverside developments along the Chao Phraya. This guide walks you through exactly how to buy one, legally and safely.

In 15 years guiding foreign buyers through Bangkok property transfers, I've watched one small document derail more purchases than any price dispute or contract clause.

It isn't the 49% foreign quota.

It isn't the Sales and Purchase Agreement.

It's the Foreign Exchange Transaction form — the FET.

To register a condo in your name, the Land Department needs proof your purchase funds came from outside Thailand. That proof is the FET form, issued by your Thai bank when your money arrives in foreign currency and is converted to baht.

No FET form, no transfer.

I've seen buyers arrive ready to complete, cashier's cheques in hand, and be sent home because the funds were wired in the wrong currency. Weeks lost. Deals collapsed.

The fix is preparation: remit in foreign currency, in one clean transfer, and brief your bank before the funds move.

What Australian Buyers Need to Know Before Purchasing a Bangkok Condo

For Australians living in or investing from Thailand, a Bangkok condominium is one of the few property assets a foreign national can own outright. Unlike land — which foreigners cannot hold freehold — a condominium unit can be registered in your own name, provided the building stays within its 49% foreign-ownership quota.

The mechanics, though, differ sharply from a purchase back home. Thailand has no standardised escrow protection, and the market runs on a "buyer beware" basis. Two points consistently catch Australian buyers off guard.

First, your purchase funds must arrive from outside Thailand in foreign currency and be converted to baht by a Thai bank, which then issues a Foreign Exchange Transaction (FET) form. The Land Department won't register the transfer without it. For buyers remitting from an Australian account, a quick conversation with your bank before the transfer avoids the most common delay at settlement.

The one form that can stop your condo purchase cold

This month's guide tackles a question almost every foreign buyer asks: can I actually own property in Thailand?

The short answer is yes — a condominium, freehold, in your own name — but the process holds a few traps the standard paperwork won't warn you about, including a single bank-issued form that can halt your transfer at the final step.

We walk through the whole thing in plain English: the 49% foreign quota, the fees you'll really pay at settlement, and where foreign buyers actually buy in Bangkok.
