Benefits of Investing in Real Estate in Thailand

Growing Tourism Industry

According to experts from the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), the number of international tourists is expected to reach 40 million in 2025. This surge in visitors drives the expansion of customer service sectors, infrastructure, and retail businesses. In 2024, Thailand’s tourism sector achieved its target revenue of 3.5 trillion THB, reinforcing the country’s economic stability and investment appeal.

Economic Stability and Market Attractiveness

Thailand’s economy is forecasted to grow by 3.2% in 2025, with exports increasing by 3.8%, according to accredited media outlet The Nation Thailand. The country’s export stability will be bolstered by the electronics and automotive industries, positioning Thailand as a key player in the Southeast Asian economy.

Thailand – A Leading Economy in Southeast Asia

Despite the common belief that Thailand’s economy is primarily tourism-driven, the sector accounts for only 15% of the national GDP. The country’s main revenue source is exports, contributing two-thirds of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). European tourists make up the largest visitor group, followed by travelers from Asia, with Russian tourists ranking third.

Thailand Joins BRICS in 2025 – New Investment Opportunities

Thailand’s membership in BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) strengthens its economic ties with global partners, creating new tax incentives for foreign investors. According to economic analysts, this move enhances Thailand’s real estate investment opportunities, allowing businesses to scale and build strong connections with international partners.

Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) Investment Growth – $30 Billion in Funding

In 2024, over 250 foreign investors engaged in projects within Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), marking a 128% increase from 2023. Among foreign investors in the EEC:

Japan leads with 16.2 billion THB in investments.

China ranks second with 8 billion THB.

Hong Kong follows with 5.2 billion THB.

• Other countries contributed 16.3 billion THB.

The Chonburi and Chachoengsao regions are key economic development hubs, attracting large-scale real estate projects.

Increasing Demand for Rental Properties in Phuket and Pattaya

In 2024, over 40 million tourists visited Thailand, and this trend is expected to continue. Phuket alone welcomed 3.6 million tourists in Q1 2024, a 30% increase from 2023. By 2025, tourism revenue on the island is expected to surpass 400 billion THB ($12 billion), driving real estate profitability for investors.

Both Phuket and Pattaya offer stable year-round rental demand, making them prime locations for long-term leasing opportunities. Investors recognize affordable pricing as a key factor, with long-term rentals emerging as a dominant trend in 2024.

DTV Visa – A Game Changer for Digital Nomads and Long-Term Rentals

The introduction of the DTV Visa boosts the demand for long-term rentals, attracting professionals who prefer remote work.

Benefits of the DTV Visa:
