Swiss Valley: 18 Lanna-Style Houses on 13 Rai in Mae On

The seller describes Lanna-style houses of concrete and brick, set among rice fields with the mountains behind them. It is a quiet place to live, and an income-producing one if the tenancies are as described.

Is 80 million THB fair for an 18-house resort in Mae On?

The asking price works out at about 53,333 THB per sqm of built area (80,000,000 THB divided by 1,500 sqm), or about 15,385 THB per sq wah of land (5,200 sq wah, which is 13 rai). We have not found a sourced 2026 average for resort or multi-house property in Mae On, so we do not say this price is high or low for the market. The seller states that the price is negotiable. What drives value here is the rent roll, which we have not seen.

How far is Swiss Valley from Highlands Golf, the hot springs and the airport?

The owners’ own website gives Chiang Mai Highlands Golf as 3.5 km away and the hot springs as 5 km, and puts the airport and Chiang Mai city about 40 minutes by car. Their site also names the Mae On market and 7-Eleven as the local reference points. These are the owners’ figures and we have not measured them ourselves. The seller’s earlier listing gave further distances that we could not confirm, so we have left them out. See more in our Mae On listings and resorts for sale in Chiang Mai.

What comes with the resort, and what should a buyer check?

The seller describes 18 houses with 24 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms, 1,500 sqm in total, each with a living-dining space and a kitchen. European-style kitchens, a pool, a café, a fitness area, a fishpond, 12 parking spaces, a 160 kVA transformer and a 40 m deep well are also listed. The seller says every house is let on a one-year contract and that a 30-year lease at 37,000,000 THB is possible. The records do not give the title deed types (the seller mentions 16 individual land papers), the licences or the rents, so ask for each document before you reserve.

Goen notes: “With a resort that is already let, I ask to see every tenancy agreement and the land papers before we talk about income, because the income is only as solid as those documents.”

People Also Asked

Can a foreigner buy Swiss Valley?

Foreigners generally cannot hold land in their own name in Thailand, and the seller has not stated the title deed type. The usual routes are a registered long-term lease, which the seller says is available for 30 years at 37,000,000 THB, or a properly structured Thai company. Read our guide to foreign property ownership in Chiang Mai and take legal advice before you reserve.

Are all 18 houses really rented?

The seller states that all houses are let on one-year contracts, but we have not seen the contracts, the rents or the deposits. Ask for the rent roll and each tenancy agreement, and have a lawyer confirm what passes to a buyer.

Can I rent the houses nightly or on Airbnb?

Not without a hotel licence. Daily and weekly lets are illegal in Thailand without one, and the seller has not stated that this resort holds one. Base any income on lets of a month or longer.

Does Mae On flood?

The seller gives no flood history and we have not checked ground levels. Ask for dated photos from recent rainy seasons and compare the plot levels with the nearest stream and the reservoir. Our flood risk guide explains what to look for.

Who pays the transfer fee?

The listing does not say how the transfer costs are split, so settle that in writing before you sign. A foreign buyer pays the standard 2% rate. The 0.01% rate is for Thai individuals on properties at or below 7,000,000 THB, so it does not apply here.
