Can a foreigner legally own a house in Chiang Mai?

A foreigner can own the physical building or structure of a house outright in their own name. However, Thai law prohibits foreign nationals from owning the land it sits on. The land is typically secured through a long-term leasehold agreement (usually 30 years, renewable) or by setting up a Thai limited company.

How much does a typical 3-bedroom house cost in Chiang Mai?

Prices vary greatly by location. In suburban areas like San Sai or Doi Saket, a modern 3-bedroom house in a gated community might start from 4-6 million THB. In more prime areas like Hang Dong or near the city, prices are typically higher.
