Run a 35-Seat Restaurant, Coffee Shop and Six Bedrooms on One Plot
A 35-seat restaurant, a coffee shop and six bedrooms in Thai-style wooden houses and a brick building share one 233 sq wah plot in San Kamphaeng, with parking for seven cars.
Three traditional wooden houses, a restaurant kitchen and a coffee shop are already in place on the plot, ready to be walked through room by room. For an owner-operator, that means you can judge the business on site before you decide anything.
Commercial property for sale in San Kamphaeng: 15,900,000 THB for a 35-seat restaurant, coffee shop and six bedrooms, about 45,429 THB per built sqm (350 sqm). Central Festival is 16 km away, the airport 20 km. No verified 2026 district average is available for comparison.
Can a foreigner buy a restaurant and guest house property in San Kamphaeng?
Not the land: Thai law does not let a foreigner hold land in their own name, and this property stands on land. In our experience buyers use a registered long lease reviewed by a Thai attorney, and our foreign ownership guide explains why we caution against a company set up only to hold the land.
The route you choose affects cost, duration and who can inherit. This is general information, not legal advice. The Thai Land Department can confirm what can be registered.
What does the property include?
The listing describes three traditional Thai-style wooden houses, each with a bedroom, a bathroom and a relaxation area, and a brick-and-concrete building with three more air-conditioned bedrooms furnished in traditional Thai style. That gives the 6 bedrooms recorded on our file, with 10 bathrooms in total. We have not received a breakdown of how the 10 bathrooms are shared between guest rooms and the restaurant.
The restaurant seats 35 and has a fully equipped kitchen, and the coffee shop sits with it in a two-storey building. Built area is 350 sqm on 233 sq wah (932 sqm) of land, with parking for 7 cars and CCTV. Furniture and kitchen equipment are listed by the vendor, so please ask for an inventory to see exactly what transfers.
Can I run the bedrooms as a B&B in San Kamphaeng?
Only with a hotel licence if you let by the day or week: the Hotel Act B.E. 2547 exempts only lets of a month or longer. We have not been given a licence for this property, so please treat B&B use as unconfirmed until you have seen the paperwork.
Any income plan we discuss with you is based on monthly lets and on licences you can verify. Our commercial property for sale in Chiang Mai page shows how other commercial listings compare.
How far is San Kamphaeng from Chiang Mai airport and Central Festival?
The property is 16.1 km and about 21 minutes by car from Central Festival Chiang Mai, and 19.7 km and about 31 minutes from Chiang Mai International Airport. San Kamphaeng Hot Springs are 26.9 km and about 35 minutes away, and the San Kamphaeng district guide covers the surrounding area.
Goen notes: “At 350 sqm built, the price works out at about 45,429 baht per built sqm, but I cannot yet tell you whether that includes a trading business. In 2026 I would ask for the licences, the last year of accounts and an equipment list before comparing this with any other commercial listing.”
Visit twice, at lunch and in the evening, and ask the vendor for the licences, twelve months of accounts and an equipment list. Lunch shows the real footfall, the evening shows how the bedrooms and parking are used, and the paperwork shows what the price buys. Put every answer in writing before you negotiate.

| Listing price vs 2026 district average | 15,900,000 THB, or about 45,429 THB per built sqm (350 sqm). We hold no 2026 district average for San Kamphaeng that we can cite, so no comparison is made.Per-sqm figures use built area only, never land. |
| Investment alpha | No trading income supplied: we hold no revenue, accounts or occupancy figures, so we quote no yield. Any return should rest on figures you can verify, with the bedrooms let monthly unless a hotel licence is produced. |

Does San Kamphaeng flood in the rainy season?
We do not have a verified wet-season record for this plot, and we would rather say so than give you a guarantee. Ask the neighbours and the sub-district office about heavy-rain history, and check the ground levels around the wooden houses and the kitchen on your visit.
Who pays the transfer fee on a 15.9 million baht property?
The transfer fee is 2% of the official appraised value, and the listing shows it split 50/50, so about 1% each. The 0.01% rate applies only to Thai individual buyers where both the price and the appraisal are 7,000,000 baht or less, so it does not apply here.
Can I let the bedrooms nightly like a B&B?
Only with a hotel licence, and we have not been given one for this property. Without it, lets must be a month or longer, so we build any income plan on monthly lets.
Is the restaurant business included in the price?
The listing describes a 35-seat restaurant with an equipped kitchen and a coffee shop, but we have not been told whether the price includes a running business, stock or licences. Please ask us to confirm this in writing before you make an offer.
