A 4-Bedroom Lanna-Style Home Beside a Stream in Khua Mung
A contemporary Lanna-style house with 4 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and 546 sqm of built area stands beside a stream, 300 m off the main road on Soi 2 in Khua Mung.
A stream runs beside the house and the main road is 300 metres away. On a plot of 255 sq wah there is room to live in the house and still think about what else it could be.
Contemporary Lanna-style house for sale in Khua Mung, Saraphi: 18,000,000 baht for 4 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and 546 sqm built beside a stream. Night Bazaar is 19 km away by road. That is 32,967 baht per built sqm; no sourced 2026 district average is available.
Can a foreigner buy a house in Khua Mung, Saraphi?
Not the land: Thai law does not let a foreigner hold land in their own name, and a house sits on a land title. In our experience buyers use a registered 30-year lease with a usufruct or superficies right, and our foreign ownership guide explains why a Thai company structure carries nominee risk in 2026.
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 on a given title.
What does the property include?
The house has 4 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms in about 546 sqm of built area over 2 floors, with 4 parking spaces and multi-purpose areas. The vendor describes the design as contemporary Lanna-style architecture by local Lanna architects, and the house stands beside a stream.
The plot measures 255 sq wah (1,020 sqm) and sits about 300 m off the main road on Soi 2. The vendor suggests it could work as a family home, a small resort, a restaurant or a coffee shop; we have not been given any licence for a business use.
Is 18 million baht fair for a Lanna-style house in Saraphi?
It works out at 32,967 baht per built sqm, calculated on the 546 sqm of built area and not on the land. We have no sourced 2026 average for Saraphi, so we would not call it cheap or dear until you have compared it with houses you have viewed.
We have not been given the title deed type, the age of the house or the appraisal value. Please ask us for all three before you weigh an offer. Our houses for sale in Chiang Mai page shows how other houses compare.
How far is Khua Mung from the Night Bazaar and the airport?
The Night Bazaar is 19.0 km and about 26 minutes by car, Central Chiangmai Airport mall is 17.7 km and about 24 minutes, and Chiang Mai International Airport is 22.4 km and about 36 minutes. The Saraphi district guide covers the wider area.
Goen notes: “By road, the Night Bazaar is 19 km and about 26 minutes away and the airport about 36 minutes, so I would plan on half an hour to reach the city from this quiet stream-side plot. At 18 million baht the transfer fee is 2%, split 50/50 in the listing, so I would ask for the title deed and the appraisal value first.”
Before you plan a resort, restaurant or coffee shop, ask the sub-district office what the land may be used for, and whether a food or accommodation licence can be issued at this address. Then ask the seller who holds the plans and permits for the building, because any change of use starts with those documents.

Does Khua Mung flood in the rainy season?
We do not hold a verified wet-season record for this plot, and because the house stands beside a stream we would treat it as a question to settle before you offer. Ask the neighbours and the sub-district office about heavy-rain history, and check the ground level of the house and the stream bank on your visit.
What transfer fee will I pay on an 18 million baht house?
The standard rate is 2% of the appraised value, and the listing shows the fee split 50/50, so about 1% each. The 0.01% scheme applies only to Thai individuals on a price and appraisal of 7,000,000 baht or less, so it does not apply here.
Can I run a resort, restaurant or coffee shop from this house?
The vendor suggests all three, but we have not been given any licence or land-use zoning, so we cannot confirm it. Ask the sub-district office what is permitted at this address before you plan a business around it.
Why does a 4-bedroom house have 7 bathrooms?
The record does not explain it, and we would rather ask than guess. Ask the seller for the floor plans so you can see which bathrooms serve which rooms and whether the layout suits a family or a guest business.
Ready to see it in person?
This is a 4-bedroom Lanna-style house with 546 sqm of built area beside a stream in Khua Mung, 300 m off the main road. It suits a family, or a buyer with a small resort or cafe idea who is ready to check the licences first.
